I'm absolutely terrified of anything that comes close to my eyes, be that lasers, contacts, ophtalmologists... I'm wearing glasses from 1987 and I will start thinking about eye surgery only when I'll stop programming. I'm not satisfied abou

How would you do that? Would a simple 'wget --recursive' suffice or you're after something more sophisticated?

Fad or not, get tested for vit D and calcium absorption. I was a rugby player at amateur level until 3 years ago, when I fractured twice my left wrist in 8 months. Seeing that the second fracture was due to a pretty light contact, I asked t

A couple of weeks ago I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn, I simply told her that in order to proceed she had to tell me the name of the company, and that I will treat this information with the highest confidentiality. I also told h

If politics are so important, that is if the system wants to be gamed, then game it: accept the extra developers then have them do something totally irrelevant to the project completion.

The only thing that I would fix in Java Generics is the syntax, the use of angle brackets is what makes me reject the whole implementation.

I've been working with ATG technologies since 2000, it has been a fun ride so far and I agree with you that Nucleus and DAS are much better and much more cohesive that what passes for J2EE technologies today. Unfortunately I also witnessed

I believe that no hiring process is perfect, so something like this could also work as an additional filter for both junior and senior developers: those who are unable to follow the instructions are poliyely shown the door on their first da

Event if this idea catches on, there will be years before each and every source code editor properly supports it. For example, I work now on a Java code base which was originally developed on French keyboards, with accents and other diacrit

Too bad that the comment you replied to was deleted, although the choice of language wasn't the better it was the only one dissenting view on the entire page.

Totally counter-intuitive to me, as many other aspects of the iPhone interface: perhaps this is why I never send text messages from an iPhone, and why I keep making calls when I just want to see the details of a contact. The iPhone was just

I disagree: you should put in version control each library that your project depends on. I don't see what Maven adds beyond introducing an artificial dependency on a tool outside of your control.

In France some employers have a clause in the employment contract that prevents employees from leaving the company within X months of having been trained (called "dédit formation"). The definition of "training" varies quite widely, and also

A client who pays past the due date, or who doesn't pay at all, is much more "unethical" than that.

I have done a comparison of Java IDEs, but it was more than 3 years ago and a lot of things have changed since then. Today I don't bother with JDeveloper anymore, I use NetBeans only if I want to hack on the JDK sources, Eclipse only when i

You have also the option of compiling from the sources rather than relying on the OS-provided packages. Another advantage of compiling from the sources is enabling exactly the options that you need, with a software such as PHP with so many

What's weird is the final comment, especially coming from a CTO: > "You make some phone calls and hope and pray" With so much phone traffic going over VOIP these days, if there's really a BGP hijacking then his phone calls haven't much

I'd like to know if someone has pointers to a similar writeup but focussed on Europe rather than US. AFAIK neither Google Checkout nor Amazon Payments are available in Europe, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
