Maybe they leave because they don't have the skill sets or experience to do so? It's one thing to get something going and make it successful, it's totally something else to make it huge and successful.

IDEA lets me do Java, PHP, RoR, html, etc. I'd say it's just as much of a platform as Eclipse is, and has a huge number of plug-ins to extend its feature set.

by nettdata 16y ago
I know a large number of developers that have only used Eclipse, and swear by it. The prime motivation for using it seems to be that it's free. I hired a couple of them for a gig a while ago, and gave them IDEA licenses so we'd all be runn

With all due respect, I'm not sure I buy that "hiring is an issue" argument. You don't need someone full-time to help develop best practices, help design or architect code/systems, or to do code reviews. Any startup that gets funding should

To be clear, I didn't suggest a "complete disaster everywhere". That being said, you can tell a lot about the state of the nation by something rather simple and isolated as what they've experienced here. There are some rather simple best

Security isn't something you just bolt on after the fact, it's part of the design, and involves so much more than just code. If they failed to take security into account in the early stages, never mind implement it at the beginning of devel

I'm not sure that he really cares if he's helping the situation or not, seeing as he's no longer employed there. I know first-hand that when a team is working on things, and it's very publicly going wrong, and it's due to things that are ou

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Even if he wasn't, that's how I took it, just because it was funnier that way.

I have no doubt there are others doing similar things, but this is the first story of it's kind I've seen. Personally, I could care less if it was Apple, or Dell, or Hello Kitty, it's interesting (and heartwarming) to see this kind of stor

Actually, in a state of emergency like they're in, those simple acts of providing phone/device chargers, powerbars, tv/news, and free wi-fi are a huge fucking deal and not to be taken lightly. Never mind helping people figure out how to us

I think it's just being a human being that's in a position to help another human being. Good people are good people, regardless of who they work for.

I was referring to an explosion that contained nuclear/radioactive material, not a nuclear explosion.

The BBC is reporting a pretty major explosion. The link has video of it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12720219 While not apparently nuclear, it does seem pretty major. Could be interesting to see what the damage from it

Nope, you're right... the guy was an idiot, despite his best attempts at thinking he wasn't.

You might be surprised, actually. Not necessarily the same as books, but may be somewhat relevant. There was a Japanese think tank that recently released a report that found the online piracy actually boosted the sale of anime DVDs. http:/

It's an UltraBookIIe. Needed it when I provisioned 6 racks of Sun gear in an off-shore co-lo for a gaming company, and it was the easiest way to auto install/configure all the OS's and software into bare metal gear. Wasn't the fastest thi

Actually, I won't have the same attitude... I'll be indifferent, and not comment at all, as I don't really care what Windows does. Even though I use it almost daily for various client work. When it comes right down to it, I don't buy into

Get pissy much? I consider it "very cool" in the sense that this is a cool feature that I finally get to use in the OS I prefer to work in. I don't care if it's been around for decades or done a thousand times before on other OS's, it's be

Don't think screens, think desktops. Each vncserver that launches (and binds to its own unique port) has its own separate desktop. Each runs its own distinct window manager application, and is not tied to a physical monitor or screen. Us

>Except only one user can control the computer at a time with VNC. Not true. You can have multiple VNC server/desktop session running on the same box, each listening on a different port, each with it's own user controlling it.

It's actually using a VNC based application, and uses the VNC protocol. I can "remote desktop" into my desktop using a simple VNC app on my iPad. It seems that they've provided the option of creating a new VNC server/desktop process when c

Actually, I only have normal respect for him, as he wasn't the one who was putting up the cash to see it done, he was only doing his job. And it DID take him a whole year to pull it off.

While this is pretty impressive, in the same vein I have to give Dyson (as in the vacuum cleaner guy and inventor of other things) huge respect for re-creating an Escher uphill waterfall as a garden piece, one that I would gladly display.

What I find most interesting about this is that you are "cleaning up" Wikipedia so that you can better find new programming languages. You've mentioned this a couple of times. Do you assume that everyone uses it for the same purpose? What

Agreed, but to be clear, the luxury I was referring to was specifically having the DEV and PROD staff being totally separate teams/individuals, not just the separation of environments. In other words, nobody on the DEV team did any PROD op

In my environment, our Dev's (individuals or environments/subnets) don't have access to PROD or QA, and our CIT boxes are in DEV. Likewise, QA and PROD only have access to their own environments. We have a build master that promotes a revi

The vast majority of managers I've encountered only focus on the stuff that is wrong, or was done poorly. The ROI on a simple "attaboy" is huge, especially when done in a group environment. In our morning meetings, people update their stat
