I think you are seeing the effect of people who have decided for themselves to pursue lifelong learning. The Udacity/Coursera thing just clusters these people in a way that you notice them in the stats. But remember that statistics do

Sure you can. Think out of the box. A small speaker that sticks over the microphone opening and constantly plays a recording with two voices overlaid, one reading the Gettysburg address and the other reading the declaration of independence,

I don't understand your puppet comment, but then I have never used it. I had some experience with Chef, lots of experience with shell scripts to config servers from scratch. But now I use Ansible instead. Technically I still run a shel

I also develop on OSX or Windows systems, targeting Linux as the deployment system. And I also want to test the code in an environment as close to production as possible. That is why I install Virtualbox and set up virtual Linux servers usi

If you would use something like Ansible it would be just as fast because it is fully automated, and there would be no work at all to change a config because Ansible will also customize config files from templates. Chef and Puppet and SaltSt

Database servers, whether MySQL or PostgreSQL or NoSQL ones like CouchDB should never be dockerized. This is a use case where it is inappropriate to use Docker at all. This is a case where the db server should use the entire resources of a

I don't understand this statement. How can a conference decide not to raise global temperature over 2.8 degrees? For that matter, is there any scientific evidence that humans can actually take collective action to slow or stop global t

We are using Liquibase to manage the SQL code in the database as a separate GIT repository from the several applications that use the database. We have a dev database, and are beginning to use pgTAP for SQL unit tests. Code review for the S

You can install R or Python into a PostgreSQL server as a language extension and then use it to define SQL functions. This is really useful to define functions which can reduce the size of the recordset transmitted across the network. You w

This is an example of what I call "embracing PostgreSQL". Roughly speaking it means ditching the ORM layers and using a simple API to run any SQL query that you can think up. Then your application can leverage the many features th

This sounds like the same old rule that has existed for the last 30 years or more. If you want to build an app that uses graphically intensive animations, build as close to the metal as possible and do not rely on layers provided by the OS.

Do learn some of the native language of your target country before you apply. Having that on your resume and being able to handle small talk in an interview demonstrates that you are serious about staying in the new country for some time. T

Where do you get the idea that it is the only SSH client for Windows? Not only are there commercial ones, there is also Cygwin which basically gives you a full linux-like environment with bash, package installer, and ssh, both client and se

You mean that they are using a tried and proven architecture that helped the 4.77 MHz IBM PC find success in 1982? Yawn.... The IBM PC keyboard had its own Z-80 CPU way back then and likely every single PC of any sort since then has done th

It's just like a short sentence written with no spaces. If you can understand short sentences, these words should be no trouble at all. Even Mandarin Chinese has the same thing. Multiple syllable phrases for the names of technical thin

Just how many new programmers were produced between the years 1975 to 1985? Not a whole lot. That's why you don't see too many old programmers around, because they were pioneers in a new field. They are still around but they get l

Kudos for an excellent description of how slavery works via the consent of the oppressed. This understanding is likely why the founders of the USA reserved the right of the people to have revolutions.

Collapse of the USA is always one way out. Now that the world is ruled by Russia, China, India and others, this is a distinct possibility if the people of America don't get their shit together and start being builders rather than destr

There is far too much talk about cyber warfare and far too little talk about cyber safety, cyber security and similar things. Maybe the DNC getting hacked is something you can laugh at, but there are a lot of other organizations where this

Did not take any holidays. You need to work on it every day, 365 days per year. Lots of little tricks. Like reading books written for 10 year-olds, by native authors of the language and set in a country where this is the native language. No

Read the article. Unfortunately the content is looked up in a tangle of different character encodings and Ward needs to do a lot of work to convert it all into UTF-8. When that is done, it will all come back, better than before.

There is a fix. Legislate the minimum thickness of lithium batteries. This will stop the idiocy of smaller/lighter right in its tracks. The thinner the battery, the closer the positive and negative terminals are, and the greater the ri

Then you better not visit Kyiv's Monastery of the Caves in Ukraine where there are several similar self-mummified Christian monks. It is not just Buddhists who practiced this.
