Agree with Apache/nginx etc, but that is nowhere anyone needs to piddle around these days.

The accumulation of abstraction layers is an architectural problem, not a result of statically typed languages. The issue here is the author plainly doesn't understand the unit of work pattern and has made an awful technology choice (EF). I

You hit the nail on the head. Except they also have the "back to work scheme" which means they don't even have to pay them to stack shelves in safeway (or Morrisons as it now is).

That's still twice the size of everything else.

Agreed but its the one way which requires little headspace when solving a problem.

Yes I know. We use the JVM as well and EJBs and toplink and JMS and glassfish and all sorts of hellish enterprise stuff. People smoke. It doesn't mean its good.

This is advice. We sold 9 apps at £2.49 each.

Actually Go GC is quite easy to control. If you know your butt from your elbow you can write code that doesn't GC at all. I really don't have a problem with GC though. Its easier to optimise a GC than to fix memory and reference counting bu

Because it requires an entire JVM of baggage, is terribly complicated and doesn't really give any benefits over anything else. Its like a Swiss army knife with a million blunt obscure tools rather than 5 useful sharp ones, or a crazy girlfr

You might be lucky enough to break even if you charge for your app. Don't expect miracles from the win 8 app store.

Sheer arrogance makes these people think they are immune. Plenty of people are starving today even probably less than a mile away from anyone eating well. The system does not serve everyone equally and ultimately we may all suffer one day.

Actually some of us do it as a context switch and a tie to our roots. Some of us, myself included consider it to be a valuable skill in an unstable world and some insurance against the fuckwits we have to trust in society. Also the stuff ta

I don't have a farm but I have a quarter acre of land in london on which I spend a fair amount of time growing vegetables (there are actually 5 of us). We don't have any grass to give you an idea. The skills are definitely transferrable , p

I'm not surprised. I know no one who has upgraded to windows 8. I got 5 free copies with my MSDN sub and one got claimed before I deleted the VM. Considering I work for a Microsoft partner with 180 staff, we have one windows 8 machine and i

A promising start is when they sell them and lots of them and people start dropping good reviews. With Firefox OS around and with a brand name more people recognise, I doubt they will get anywhere. I mean even Microsoft have had to work har

And I was hoping for a small surface to air missile system :) I'm considering spending some time on an anti drone technology startup. I have some ideas.

good. There is nothing I hate more than having to sign in to yahoo for something such as a support group for a bit of software or freecycle. Its just horrid from end to end.

I think this sort of story is surprisingly common. Most of our knowledge of such things is derived from films and books written by the victors (don't forget the UK government had a propaganda wing for WWII until the 1970s). These promote th

IBM are just as bad now. UK surveillance, supplying massive US defence companies. You name it. Nasty bunch.

I think the worst bit and the bit which may have lead to a lot of deaths was the shitty handling of the camps by the US and European allies. A relative of mine, a German civilian but not a sympathizer was employed to deliver supplies to the

We usually refer ours to a Dilbert strip that defines the exact problem. Fortunately he has a sense of humor :)

Yeah and that's pretty much good enough for most people. That's what we do for our internal dev systems.

As follows: 1. Read the vulnerability description. 2. Ask yourself if you are vulnerable. 3. No? Don't worry about it. 4. Yes? External mitigation where possible or patch ourselves and commit back to debian (we a project member on our team)

From extensive experience, debian testing is way more stable than Ubuntu's current LTS release even.

Yes I think you are correct. Nil/null/nothing is different to zero. The former is the lack of anything and the latter is an integer with no magnitude. This is something I'm always having to hammer into our developers' heads over and over ag
