   This is how I've been hiring in the last 3 years: I created a business by myself. As business grows, my goal is 1) to amplify and multiply my skills, which made this business possible. That way I can delegate work, be in many places at once

   To me the bad thing about the TSA, and counterterrorism in general, is that every day that goes by without an attack reinforces whatever methods and expenses they might incur. But the worse is that only a terrible event could prove them wro

    I utterly agree on reducing continuous and loud sound warnings in the cabin. This 1996 757 Aeroperu crash recording is quite scary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5QSBlYTJ1Y They had no functioning pitot tubes and lots of contradictory i

    Two large companies, Google and IBM, have invested a lot of money and have built multi-billion dollar businesses based on Java: Android and the Rational/Websphere Suite. They're probably losing a lot of sleep at night knowing another large

    The only dependency hell I've had installing modules in my 14 years of programming with dynamic languages was trying to get 2 different Rails apps to work out of the same gems... Ruby, my other favorite language besides Perl, is just as vul

    You're not just getting insurance... if the project is delayed or just needs a hand or two, Oracle will throw more people in to meet deadlines. If a consultant leaves the project, they will be replaced to keep continuity. But it all depends

    I just don't like when people resort to pity to get their point across. That's some cheap rhetoric stunt. And that's exactly what Dave Winer tries here: poor Sam in high school, poor Winer tortured by them trolls. Don't lower Stallman ther

    I find it a bit suspicious that the video has been spliced at 0:33. Maybe the boot hadn't really finished and a "Still loading" window popped-up.

    I don't get why Google posponed showing their Freddie doodle (quite awesome btw) until Sep. 6th in the US. "Out of respect for Labor Day?" Why does Labor day require that kind of respect? I'd absolutetly understand a Memorial Day hiatus. Is

    I wrote an app for a large customer (a bank) that automates some mainframe jobs from the unix side, then publishes its logs in a very simple webpage with only PRE html tags. I was amazed and confused when some users, all of them mainframe d

    Not that I know of. But it's so simple to hook input to an eval in Perl (or any dynamic language for that matter), that I've always wrote it myself. It can also be implementation specific (preforking server, event-loop, dispatcher daemon..

    This reminded me of that story about Lisp at the JPL, when the author debugged and hotswapped code midway through a mission thanks to a built-in REPL. "Having a read-eval-print loop running on the spacecraft proved invaluable in finding and

    I don't see how the "Googlerola" hardware can hurt Android adoption. If you are a smartphone maker with at least some ambition for market share you either use Android or get ready to fall short on sales. Aside from Apple and MS-Nokia, until
