I do wish people would reply with a decent criticism of my comment sometimes rather than simply downvote. I personally thought my comment was valid - it's not really a manifesto in the spirit of the Agile Manifesto if it's not agr

I think the main point here is: Agile Manifesto - put together after lots of thought and signed by acclaimed industry professionals. Async Manifesto - someone's opinion on a website.

Completely true, and also one of the most annoying things about work. I always find "morning people" to be incredibly annoying. I understand that there are morning people and there are night people. However, as a night person I do

That's fine when the people you work with appreciate the work you do, but you're not going to know that going in. If you work hard from the off, all you can do is go down, whereas if you start off slowly then you can look good whe

So am I right in thinking that this is like a template, but the template gets added dynamically by javascript?

Similar to some advice I heard early on in my career: "When you start at a company it's tempting to work really hard to give a good impression. Don't. All you're doing is setting expectations on your work. Instead, do an

Well I'm in the UK and it seems I was taught the "Common Core" way of doing things. All makes sense to me! Right down to using the quadratic formula to solve equations. The "Old" way just looks weird...

Not sure what the point of the implicit operator overloads was. Why not just have: public class CreateBooking { public int TypeId { get; private set; } ... public CreateBooking(BookingTypeId typeId, ..., ...) { TypeI

> If you're deploying Java on a Windows server, you're doing it wrong. You're assuming you have control over what the customer's servers are.

Java - "run anywhere" (supposedly) Docker - "The Linux Container Engine" Think you've got your answer there.

by philbarr 12y ago
I skimmed through Part 3 and it's basically saying that app servers are hard to deploy, maintain and dev against and you should be using Spring Boot or Dropwizard instead to create applications with the services you require.

Each JAR is just a zip file. It can be convenient to merge all those JAR files into one for deployment so you don't have to have all the JAR files lying around in the system and upgrades are just "replace this one JAR file" (

RoboVM create bindings for most of the iOS API, and there are also bindings being created for 3rd party libs [0]. LibGDX [1] have done their own too. I created a game [2] in LibGDX for Android, set it up on the Mac, right clicked and it jus

but how do these engineers find out how much to charge if no one will tell them? and aren't they being underpaid because they are seen as replaceable?

...and you won't be able to learn anything from the people around you because they don't want to tell you anything because you're the smart arse that grimaces every time they get something slightly wrong.

For options #2 and #3, how do you go about getting your very first client? I can imagine the dialogue when you've done a few projects and you've got a portfolio and perhaps references, but how do you get the very first person wh

Yes, I've been using Eclipse for years now and I'm fine with it. Although I tend to keep that to myself as it's not a popular opinion in some circles... I've often seen developers new to Eclipse get annoyed with it and t

Can anyone recommend a really good book on mathematics that demonstrates the "beauty" of it? I'd love to really learn and understand about Fast Fourier Transforms and the like, but any book I have is from my old college days

Not sure about that. I gave up smoking 10 years ago and the only way (after giving up 100's of times before) was to give up, grit my teeth and sit it out. Otherwise you're just prolonging the agony. Your brain lies to you to try

I think as long as you tell the user then you're ok. If the user wanted to find out what information the Vuforia guys have collected they would have to ask them, pay the £10 (in the UK), and then it would be up to the Vuforia people. I

+1 for "had its head stuck all the way up SVN's trunk" Awesome phrase that I shall steal for myself. Like, "the team wanted to use Git but management had their head stuck all the way up SVN's trunk."

They're not the only ones to do this. Vuforia is worse, it's free, which is tempting, but then Section 8 (i) of the license agreement[0] states: "each end user consents to the collection, storage, and use by QCE and its affil

Sometimes I think it takes a few months/years of being undervalued before it really sinks in that you're being undervalued. And then even more before you actually do something about it.

Yes, it's often difficult for developers to prove their worth because they're so far removed from the money. The closer to the money you are, the easier it is to say you deserve a piece of it. It's easy for sales - they say,

I don't a lot of web dev myself, but when I do I tend to stick with Bootstrap / Node.js / Jade / JQuery because all those things make stuff easier. I could well be adding a bunch of crap to my pages that I don't nee
