For those doing Java coding, this is _the_ book to have http://www.amazon.com/Java-Concurrency-Practice-Brian-Goetz/... You never know when that library designed without threads in mind will end up in a threaded environment (which one cou

The assumption that cheap, standardized software is either cheap or standardized is a false one. Take the content-management space. For a complex site serving millions of viewers with 100k+ pages, off-the-shelf solutions can be quite expens

Hard to see how BEA & Sun can be considered losers (at least when it comes to tech) - for better or worse they are some of the most popular enterprise technologies in use, alongside Oracle.

Since the parent of this comment was voted up... Maybe there are different acceptable ways to exist and there is no 'correct brain'. This one adaptation allows for a different skill-set than some other adaptation.

I understand that experiments need to be done in order to prove suspicions, and I understand that popular science media will exaggerate for impact, but when I read these articles I always end up wondering if the people writing or researchin

In Chrome, would "imdb <my movie>" or "amazon <my book>" show up as googling a website name? That could explain some of it.

That's easy to say that if you've done this before. This is a nice list for people like me who may want to break from corporate life but have not run a business and would like to see the practical steps outlined somewhere (so as to minimize

As someone who works for a media company, the biggest problem developers run into is cultural. Media companies think they are only about media and media partnerships and not about the entire ecosystem that delivers that media. Sadly, this m

NYC has tried that - the system started out as 3 competing companies, but in the long run, it makes sense to have one system with one set of management/employees

I would begin with a constitutional amendment redefining a corporation such that it does not have personhood (as was given in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad). It is that personhood which provides the basis of a corporation'

Kennedy also had this to say... "The appearance of influence or access, furthermore, will not cause the electorate to lose faith in our democracy." Forgive me if I don't take his arguments too seriously if he believes that individuals are n

I think you overestimate the truthfulness of our mainstream free press and cable news media.

Also consider that a lawsuit for police abuse or wrongful arrest can easily cost millions (based on NYCs regular annual payouts for misdeeds). In that regard, $4m in exchange for avoiding/winning lawsuits could be a bargain.

We don't have to imagine too hard - see NYC and the building the of the subway system. Three companies (IRT, BRT, IND) building lines somewhat independently, leaving some areas covered by multiple lines and some areas underserved.

There's something to be said for starting with a language that has great library support. While one approach to learning is to write from scratch, another is to read existing code and be able to build what you want to build using parts that

I would advise staying away from both Ant and Maven. Use Rake or some other scripting based build system and cut out the XML middleman (this from a long-time Java coder who's fed up with the impedence mismatch of 'I want to do X, but XML le

B&N has Amazon beat on shipping costs for Manhattan though. Unless Amazon brings down the cost, B&N will still be my choice. Be interesting to see how B&N responds - will they expand to other cities?

A great teacher understands what will trigger progress in one person and what will trigger progress in another. Some people need a soft touch, some people need a kick in the ass. Perhaps the CEO recognized that this would work in this case.

Because they're solid products that intergrate well with each other and with dev environments like IDEA. You can put together a free open-source solution using many different tools, but the intergration between those tools isn't always grea

Furthermore, the contest is not skill-on-paper or skill-over-a-season, the contest is skill-right-now. The NE Patriots won 18 straight American football games (the only team to have an undefeated 16-game regular season), yet they still had
