Yes, I feel rather superior being a dual citizen of a NAFTA country which gets along with its neighbors, and an EU country which also gets along with its neighbors. I simply do not agree with any political movement that is based on demonizi

Manipulated is the right word. Turkey has been trying to get into the EU for 30 years and it is still waiting. If Ukraine had signed that agreement, their politicians would right now be churning out new laws every week and the country would

Just remember that everything you read/see about Ukraine is propaganda published by someone who is trying to get you to agree with their point of view. They are careful to select their photos to not show the things that they don't

And to think that Americans make such a big fuss about corruption in Ukraine, Russia, China, etc. They should shut up and pay attention to the extensive and systemic corruption in the USA. At least countries like Russia and China are making

It says something about the level of intelligence of Silicon Valley people that it has taken this long for someone to point out that there are LOTS of things that local people could do to defuse the situation and improve the situation. In f

Why not use maven or gradle to build your Go projects? Need a mature build tool? Then use one and stop complaining. http://support.thoughtworks.com/entries/20074167-Using-Maven...

It might not be encouraging but it is honest and it is factual. No company, however much you might wish it, can do magical things. At best, you can leverage the laws of large numbers to do things which are apparently magical to those people

In the UK a suit has a different meaning than in the USA because almost everyone has worn a suit (or at least a shirt and tie) since they started school. I suspect that the reason that some jobs don't value a suit is because they align

There is a really great movie on this topic from 2006 called Idiocracy. Note that the death of expertise may only be something that applies to the culture of the USA, not other countries. Or at least, not most other countries.

Uhm, Google doesn't do PageRank anymore. Now their algorithms are driven by people's choices. They know which links people click when they do a search, and they also have "focus groups" who provide ratings of how useful

He did say that he was a big strong fellow and that the punch didn't bother him. What bothered him was that incidents like this are a daily occurrence in a city with the largest concentration in the world of people who want to do thing

Sounds like Chromium might be the successor to APR, the Apache Portable Runtime. I believe that the authors of Chrome consciously tried to provide functionality that replaced APR, presumably because of their multiprocess model.

The dirty secret of all science. People only study things that someone will pay for. And often the questions that you or I would like to see answered never attract funding. Recently someone discovered that booth babes do not work as a marke

Companies that really hire the top 5% of candidates, never advertise open positions. At most, their careers page says that they accept applications at any time if you think that you fill the bill. Most of their hires will come from reaching

You know why CRUD apps are called that? Because skilled developers know that once you have built a CRUD app a half dozen times, the work is simple and straightforward with no challenge. This work is called crud work because it is not very d

The problem is that English speaking people rarely learn other languages and therefore don't have much skill at communicating with people who are not fluent in English. Communication is a two-way street. When I was working in the UK in

40 years of programming experience here. As far as I am concerned, if a potential employer wants to hire me for an hour or a day or a week to try me out before making a hiring decision, that is a fair exchange. In fact, where I live, an emp

Strange comments. Have you ever heard of marketing? Advertising? When you create a new product and you want to get it noticed out there in the crowded world we live in, then you market your product and you advertise it. Or else you learn to

tldr; when performance is important, don't just use defaults, optimize. And learn how libraries and your OS work deep down at low levels. Even Python's default IO performance can be improved in many cases, by changing buffer sizes

Why use dynamic libraries if you don't need to save storage space or RAM? We have moved beyond the era of scarcity and even on desktop platforms, lots of people are including static libraries so that they are not dependent on the upstr

That is just basic common sense. It is easy to mirror upstream repos that you need. Don't allow your systems to have dependencies that are outside of your control.

by memracom 13y ago
Why would you use apt-get with an upstream repository? Deployment 101 is to set up your own local repo mirror so that you control exactly what binary objects get deployed.

Why not test this theory with a smaller pyramid replica. I think that a lot of people would volunteer to spend a couple of weeks of their summer working on a project like this.

Reading between the lines, it seems that US Federal law is driving the creation of an alternative banking system. This would not be a bad thing considering the amount of concentration in the banking system and how that led to the recent big

Why does everyone assume that if life has existed on another planet for a billion or two years, it must necessarily be similar to life on our planet and be intelligent with some sort of civilization? Why could it not be a planet filled with

I've come to the conclusion that "MVC" is the problem with web client apps. Now that there are several choices for doing MVVM using a functional reactive programming style, we really should move beyond the simplistic MVC conc

And that is precisely what Tim is saying. He happens to work mostly with the new tool named Go but he does recognize that there are others like Rust and Dart that are also trying to do things better. But we need to actually move away from u

The property department is responsible for acquiring and managing office spaces and all that other stuff like toilet paper. If they can save money by cramming the people into a smaller space, then they will look real good on their year end

And the use of torture in America's modern wars has led to a great amount of lost goodwill in the world, not to mention the military failures on the ground.
