Phabricator has really good issue tracking baked in and supports a workflow that is esssential Github style pull requests.

This 100x. A lot of employers (including several I've worked for) have strong security policies, and like have 4-5 nine uptimes; the security aspect, if your code contains a lot of valuable IP, is huge, and I would be rather wary of le

I like it much much better than Gitlab, and find it's real good alternative for Atlassian's stack. I've been nothing but pleased with it and I've deployed it a number of places now. The biggest thing is that everything i

Agreed. One day app programming will get old, and if you want to do something different, and cool, especially if it involves mathematics or other difficult problems, that MIT degree is probably worth its weight in gold. Just getting to stud

I think I would far rather see this as a supplement to college than a replacement. I know it's in vogue today to claim that education is about "job training," but I worry that this attitude is short sighted and destructive. S

I agree, but I would take it further. I worry that things that are already somewhat lacking in a lot of CS degrees, like having a reasonable background in mathematics, are only made further problematic. This program sounds excellent if you

Came here to mention, yo-yo code sometimes exists as a workaround for legacy implemenations: take XML-RPC for example, and the fact that the data types that can be passed are limited, and int is fixed at 32-bits. What happens when you need

This sort of attitude is part of why I suspect that even with all the incredible advances in computer hardware, that all of our applications seem to be just as slow and bloated as their equivalents were 20-30 years ago.

I strongly disagree; it seems rather perverse to label many developers and programmers as engineers, because most of what occurs in development and programming, especially because of the lack of rigor involved, could scarcely be passed off

I think one thing that really bugs me about this article (and a lot of the stuff coming out of the valley in general) is the unqualified use of "engineer" when describing developers. Most software development seems to lack the rig

I guess there are a lot of STEM people that have never taken a course in first/second order predicate calculus, which is usually lumped in under philosophy. The field of computer science builds on and is rather indebted to philosophers

It's funny, this article seems to be rather full of irony. At the beginning of the article, I started miss when a lot of the tech scene was a little more grass roots, but maybe that's just rose colored glasses. Obviously, things h

Special relativity still holds where it is applicable, and general relativity has yet to be refuted, and has been verified in interesting ways (gravitational lensing of Mercury with regards to the precession of it's perihelion for exam

For starters, lasers rely on population inversion and thus the idea that atoms exist in discretized states, which are really consequences of the quantum theory that emerges in the early 20th century. Likewise, modern solid state physics, wh

I think I dislike this blog post for many reasons, if nothing else because this guy's understanding of the history of physics seems a little off. Einstein discovered the photoelectric effect in 1905, which did in some ways continue the

The claims of cold fusion still seem quite dubious. I remember having a lot of doubts about that paper claiming "verification" of cold fusion, and given the behavior of a number of members of academic community, it isn't too

Honestly if you're going to buy anything, why not just buy the original, and buy American? I know Unicomp, which has their plant just down the street, doesn't advertise much, but I think you really can't beat the IBM Model M
