As crappy as that might have been what would have happened had his mom still been alive? You are completely right when you're in the position to think rationally. My only thought is that ... it's his Mom. I'm a married man with a few kids

Having managed (paid) interns and full time employees picked right out of graduation (I'm in a somewhat experimental role and that means the only staff I'm going to get is junior level), I can't possibly restate the importance of not delay

Thanks. I picked up a nasty bit of malware from an imbedded advertising on cnn.com and have since not only blocked them via adblock+, but I mark them as untrusted in NoScript. As a result, none of the links worked. I will say, it's almost i

Good point. I was going for SQL-Lite. But being wrong (and hearing enough people say "lie-nux" [and to be clear, I am not mocking ... we read things and form our own pronunciation because we often don't hear them said] ...) I decided to goo

By the use of "an", I learned that I have been pronouncing SQLite wrong. The maintainers clearly prefer the spelling out of SQL in the title. I've always been on the "sequel" side of pronouncing SQL (hey, it's no worse than "scuzzy" for SC

It's an interesting point that you make, but I think the analogy is generally flawed for most people. Most people don't carry around a significant amount of personal information of others (I have an electronic address book, but I don't have

It provides no information other than "big number is big, lol." As an accurate, useful comparison it falls short, and there's a political agenda behind it (I hate politics, yet I'm commenting). But people don't regularly wrap their bra

It hurts me to have to disagree with you because you invoked the He's a tenured professor statement (I have a general bias against tenured professors) and the rest of your argument was right on. I was spitting at my screen until the last

Work-life balance is when your work is reasonably a hobby . In coding, a lot of the things we hate at work tend to be the bureaucracy associated with being part of a traditional corporate "team". I always joke that I'd do 80% of my jo

To be clear, though: Water and Electric utilities in the US (and I believe this is true of Canada) are also heavily regulated, including the requirement of a government approved meter that measures in a consistent and accurate manner. In ad

I have to come out on the side of Apple on this one, but this is also a big case of serious over-reaction. While I did find the idea rather interesting, as a former employee of CompUSA in my youth, I was endlessly frustrated by pranksters

I'm actually a big fan of several Microsoft products, and think their stand on WebGL is completely right. OEM video card drivers have a history of already being unstable. In all likelihood, this represents an attack vector that, up until t

Microsoft Research does some interesting stuff, though I have to take issue with their choice of naming. One wonders if they're trying to poke at search engines. The "#" in C# made it painful, in the beginning, to craft a good query. Now

spam is a solved problem. I think that with regard to gmail, the spam problem has shifted back to overly aggressive filtering, rather than being solved. And with Priority Inbox, it seems like it shouldn't have to be that way. When Priori

It's interesting to me how many news articles are out lately taking a negative tone toward Groupon. I'm sure that has a lot to do with the upcoming IPO (and I won't be an investor based on the numbers), but I thought I'd share my experienc

Excellent. I personally love this sort of thing, though I'm rarely successful. I was typing out the letters as I saw them, and I noticed that I interpreted many of your "S" as the number 5, but after looking at the way he wrote "S", it app
