index.php? Can we say that they were inviting themselves to be hacked? Really, the only way to not have all their cash stolen would be for the NSA to hack them first and close up all the security holes.

The bit about a Dutch Oven reminds me of the time that I baked a Black Forest cake in one over a campfire in the mountains of British Columbia.

9 years ago I went to Russia, and for the first time I had Russian white bread. Wow! What a delicious bread! They follow the same basic recipe as the French, flour, water and yeast, but they bake them in the traditional blocky loaf shape wi

Let's face it, if you practice TDD (i.e. write tests first) and you have access to a browser and Internet connection, why would you need to memorize libraries? Sure you might make a few more mistakes than someone steeped in the platfor

I've never understood why people do not track technical debt in the same way that we track bugs and other issues. At least that way you can report to management the increase in debt, and the ratio between the amount of debt and the tim

Interestingly, it is on OS/X that people are still working on the GUI builder idea, not just for the interface but to entirely replace (or automatically write) the code for an app. Google for Marten IDE to see what I mean. It's a

It is only more complicated if you have no prior exposure to Functional or Reactive programming. Those of us who cut our teeth on Desktop GUI apps understand Reactive quite well. And combining Reactive with the most modern Functional paradi

You showed two Reactive examples. One was written with Reactive Cocoa, and one was written with the normal Cocoa reactive API. Simple examples like this are only the Reactivity 101 of Reactive Cocoa and do not fully showcase the power. Also

Soon there will be a new node.js package manager to compete with npm but it will be supported by a non-profit foundation rather than a private profit-driven company. This npm inc. is one of the dumbest startup ideas that I have ever come ac

Actually, I think that studying their tactics is worthwhile because it helps us to recognize when our own governments and media are walking down that same trail. In particular, looking at what was going on in European society in the 20s and

If you just look at the war years, then there were 600,000 deaths in the gulags versus 20 million in the war, roughly half of which were civilians. If you look at gulag and purge deaths for all of Stalin's reign, then, yes, that is a b

Stalin did not defeat Hitler. The Soviet people did this in spite of Stalin's incompetence and some stupid strategic moves that he made. It is really a stupid move to equate a people with the person who happens to be holding the curren

Right. Therefore it is better for both the employee and the employer that you fire people in the first few days if you do not feel comfortable with the worker. The employee can just continue their job hunt, and you will not spend so much on

There's another danger sign. Just what does a rockstar mean anyway? The rock stars that I know about are not the smartest kids on the block. They seem to end up getting cheated by music producers and hangers-on, then graduate to ruinin

What you described is not a feature. Speed, or anything involving time, is an optimization, not a feature. Features are easy to add on to an application, but time, once lost, can never be regained. Optimization usually requires fundamentall

The blogosphere really needs a lot more discussion on how to do TDD, because in my experience, working in a team that valued TDD and wanted to do it, most people did not do TDD most of the time. The reason is simple. Most people don't
