That's likely a false impression, and has to do with things like number of database calls, design, and other non-language-defining features. Don't let perceived speed be the deciding factor in your language choice: If speed was that importa

I like Python. Fast to develop in like Ruby, but also well-suited to many different types of programming tasks. If you're looking to learn a new language, Python's my advice. Ruby is good too, but it seems to be primarily used for web devel

I've had to wear glasses since I was in preschool. Anecdotally, of course, I doubt conditions had that much to do with my poor eyesight. Ah well. One day I'll get Lasik.

Jobs isn't a designer. That's why Apple hires people like Ives. The best visionaries/CEOs aren't good at everything -- they're good at critiquing others' work and letting the experts do what they do best.

Primarily because it's an inefficient abstraction. Yeah, Moore's Law and all that. But still.

I'd guess that it's a difference in screen brightness. Try turning down your brightness and see if that helps.

It really comes down to whether you view HTML/Javascript as source code or object code. If HTML&JS is source code, you ought to keep it clean and minimal. You're betting that browsers will evolve to include desktop widgets and other asp

Then my advice would be to avoid celebration. Consider it a catalyst for change, even if only in mindset. That said, birthdays are also unique: If you don't tell anyone about it, you could just as well ignore it yourself. You won't see remi

Celebration of continued existence; an opportunity to reflect on one's own personal growth and achievements in the past year. Secondly, it's a unique opportunity for each of us to be recognized individually. New Years' provides reflection t

I've got a few users who skype me and e-mail me as soon as the site goes down. Not what you're looking for, but alas, that's what I use for now.

12 hours / 10,000,000 records = 4.32ms/record concurrently. (4 cores maxed out ≅ 16ms per item?) Doesn't tell us much, but that doesn't seem insanely slow either, necessarily.

This is going to be immensely useful. I've one unrelated question for emacs users, since I'm trying to wean myself off of TextMate: How do you accomplish this same type of "find-in-multiple-files" in emacs?

Groups does have a 1-5 star rating system; I've noticed spam often gets one-star votes in groups I frequent. But that doesn't really address the problem; they ought to have a "report spam" featuer as well.
