   Naming may or may not be hard. But the fact that two projects in hugely different contexts happened to pick the same name does not bear that out, nor does anyone confuse that ruby gem with an even more massively popular Avengers member. Per

   I hope you didn't "reverse engineer" her blog post. She's going to call up a judge and say "Nanny Nanny, Boo boo." (her own words). But in all seriousness, if the Chief Security Officer of Oracle sounds like th

   This question may perhaps be off-topic, but why is this considered a post-mortem? It appears that the game was a critical success and not a commercial flop. The attitude of the article, as I read it, was definitely mixed, but there really w

   To quote the Zen of Python: Flat is better than nested. Too many levels of nesting is definitely a code smell. Often it's better to pull those helper functions out, and/or create function or method factory functions at a

   Honest question, from one who doesn't want to re-learn the lessons of the past and who would really appreciate a 2 to 3 decade boost. What are the lessons of Erlang, and how do you abstract as much of that as possible away from the la

    Hmm, I'm not a doctor, but that sounds pretty reasonable to me.

    I've encountered this concept before, but have not been aware of its name. Taken to its very extreme, we have pedigree collapse where a single individual occupies all male spots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-chr

    All the examples in that article come across as instances of a "praise sandwich" (also known by a less savoury name). The formula is, "We thought you were good at X, BUT, we need someone also good at Y". Perhaps it'

    It seems to me that while this koan is about a missed judgement call, the clear transgression lies with Banzen, for he did not give sufficient context with his specification.

    I think the original article deals with working under contact for a start up, not as a founder. The context seems to be people with specialised skills who are approached by start ups for specific items of work (graphic design projects), wit

    Context: I wanted to include a sample file from their MSDN website in the repo of a toy project of mine for testing. Apparently that would be a bad idea.

    Is Wasabi available for people to play with? Maybe open sourcing it would save it, if only as an academic or historical curiosity.

    You're absolutely right, and I'm not sure that the parent would disagree with you. However, the grandparent specifically formulated the choice as a dilemma: (I'd work my ass off without options, but the options really make it

    One positive way of looking at this is we can get Jevon's Law to work for us by applying it to renewable energy sources: something that we see right now. As the price of solar energy in the home falls, we'll see increasing adoptio

    When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be about pausing and resuming a thread of execution or some stack. Could an editor put the slanty thing over the e in the title?

    I started playing at 8th Edition, so my "classic" Dragon and Angel are Shivan and Serra, respectively. Don't know how far back those two go, though.
