Are you implying that cyber-bullying (for lack of a better name, I don't much like it either) is not a real problem? I think we have ample evidence that it does present a unique problem. That being said, I think Louis CK's more im

Exactly. Board and card games involve face-to-face social interaction.

Aren't most people self-absorbed for a period of time, post-breakup? It may be a self-defense or healing mechanism, of sorts.

In my side-project, which is my first foray into Rails, I use a Resque background worker to do processing and it takes a significant amount of time. As I've heard more about Go, I've wondered how I could use it to speed up this ba

Unless it was an execution that allayed my fears for the cleanliness of the fruit and also where it was sourced from (organic), I would not. And I can't envision a cost-effective solution to this that would provide the fruit to me at a

I can't comment on the server room scenario specifically, but I have personally experienced related symptoms (dizziness, mostly) when faced with sudden and extreme temperature changes. It typically coincides with me already being in a

It's a good question. For me, right now, the thing holding me back is the risk. With a wife, a mortgage, and a baby on the way, leaving a well-paying "safe" job is a somewhat scary prospect. It wouldn't be impossible, bu

"We need to either invent a new wave of computing that makes javascript, PHP, web-design, Java, SQL, C++, and Indians seem obsolete." Huh?! I can't downvote yet, but unless I'm misunderstanding the above, your line of

100% agree. When I've worked side-by-side with devs originally from India, I have not noticed a difference in skill level from others. However, when the larger company I worked at outsourced development to India to cut cost, the code q

That's another perspective, you could really define it in many ways. I went with Christmas because it's the most holy and high-profile time for that religion. Lent doesn't really come close on the average Christian's rad

This is not really a fair comparison. It would be more like posting a picture during the Xmas holidays of doing something sinful/forbidden by Christianity with the baby Jesus. The context of this being during Ramadan is extremely impor

Offensive? No. Ill-conceived and not at all funny? Yes. Grounds for calling someone an idiot/jerk? Sure. Grounds for jail-time? Absolutely not.

IMHO, it's naive to imply that a family life and "making a difference" are mutually exclusive.

I like the concept. This would be especially useful for documenting ramp-up guides for new developers. I didn't see this feature, although I'm sure you've thought of it, but it would be nice to be able to point to and highlig

If the developer will never be customer-facing, who cares? But if there will be customer interaction, the important question is "Will our customers trust a software developer in shorts?".

I have to respectfully disagree. While I think the ideas have merit, the book reads like "the secret" or some other motivational junk. It feels simplified or dumbed-down to the point where it doesn't feel authentic anymore. H

That's a fairly hyperbolic calculation. The difference between $98k and $84k is not really life-style changing. On the other hand, if you can find a North American employer that gives you 12 days of paid vacation days off and you someh

18 days is more than 3.5 weeks of paid vacation. You also have to consider that the additional 14k will be taxed at a high marginal rate. You won't see 14k of that money. Less than 10k more likely (perhaps far less). So the question sh

The average paid time off in Germany is about 30 days, whereas it is about 12 days in the US. That's something to factor in as a difference. I would happily take the extra time off over the $.

I personally find DuckDuckGo more intriguing because it appears that they have actually developed their own search engine technology, whereas StartPage/Ixquick just submits your query to Google anonymously.

If you define "worth it" monetarily, my opinion is that you'll be disappointed by the return on a Master's. Most good companies want smart, talented people. At this poin, to be blunt, you either have these qualities or y

I only did the online version of the "book", so I don't know if we're talking about the same thing. I wasn't aware of there being videos, so no, I haven't seen those, but I have viewed numerous Railscasts since
