This is definitely an important question, but I do not have any data on it. If I had to guess, languages with package managers that are harder to use might have better quality. ie: npm is super easy to use, so there are tons of crappy node.

I do not see it much in the southeast US. .Net and Java dominate the programming language culture here, and you do not just jump in and learn all of .Net or Java in a year or two. For all of its many shortcomings, the south does seem to hav

In reference to #1, check out this summary of module counts for each package manager[1]. The TLDR is that Java, Ruby, and Node.js dominate in terms of module numbers. [1] http://modulecounts.com/

I see them mostly in trendy bakeries or cafes in the south east US. I also see them all the time in cabs in many parts of the US.

I see one of these pop up every so often and always get disappointed when there is no one in my area. I wonder if this sort of thing might work better if it connected you with the N closest users? Another option would be to create spatial c

Usually you want to divide your visualization field by some other field. In this case, you might want to do (population / area). For other sorts of things like visualizing a particular demographic, you would often want to divide by pop

The Moog factory is definitely worth a tour, as is the entire Asheville River Arts District. There is an awesome scene going on there with lots of interesting old factories being bought up by everyone from craft breweries to tech companies

People sign work for hire agreements all the time that grant ownership of everything to their employer. I cannot speak to the enforcement of these agreements, but they are common.

Facebook does this with a project called Huxley[1]. It seems cool, but these sorts of tools have always suffered from the problem of brittle tests, so it is not a silver bullet. It does seem that it would work well, however, in systems that

In my experience, TDD and unit testing is awkward and uncomfortable when working with application code, since you often find yourself simply testing dependency wrappers, which has limited value. On the other side, integration tests are klud

I first read that as ardour[1], which seemed like a terrible way to pass audio around (big project files in email?). I wonder if that confusion is what motivated them to change their name. [1]

OP here. I use Hostigation[1]. I know some people are concerned about many of the low end providers, but in this case: 1. It's 20 bucks... take a gamble! 2. The owner, Tim, has personally responded to every issue I have ever had within

It looks powerful, but with a much steeper learning curve for non technical users[1]. I could see the nested list support being great for outlines, and tables look a lot more robust than in markdown, but I do not know if it is worth the tra

Reading the Underscore and Lodash sources was hugely beneficial to me. If nothing else, it taught me how to reimplement what I could and drop the dependencies in my libraries. I find the whole "vanilla js" meme a bit snarky and el

I use a tiny VPS provider that is actually $20/yr. For sites that get a couple thousand hits per month it is perfect. Although I do not see it as a requirement in this price range, the uptime has been on par with the big names (I have

Many do, but as an employee, you should treat them as negotiable. An agreement where the company has default ownership of ideas in the vertical and you have default ownership of everything else is a reasonable compromise that I think most p

I am not sure why you would want to use the ios app. This is definitely a use case that requires tactile feedback.

Codeacademy seems to be the way most of my friends are getting into programming. Since you code in a sort of virtual browser, there is almost zero barrier to entry. I have seen only one person go from this to real professional programming

There was even a glucose watch available on the market for several years in the US. It was pulled a few years ago, but the basic idea was sound. I do remember the device causing semi-serious skin irritation in many people though.

That would be awesome. I see things like this every few months and it is a bummer when there is nobody to test it with.

The existence of articles like these seems to suggest that there really might not be that many people out there competing for the best and brightest (competing effectively anyway). If only 5% of companies are willing to pay top dollar, and

Pretty much. I set one up for the first time a couple weeks ago and it could not have been easier. Bare minimum "hello world" would basically just be a board, a USB cable, a computer with a USB port, and an LED.

This is very true. My state just passed a law with overwhelming support that allows people to have guns in bars again. I did not expect it to be controversial to believe that drinking + guns + crowded rooms was a bad idea, but apparently I

The scene[1] in Good Will Hunting where Matt Damon tells the NSA to beat it is probably in line with how a lot of us feel. Interesting work, but the end result is too much to live with. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrO
