Javascript Patterns by Stoyan Stefanov is another great primer on JS best practices. Above all, if you're not delinting and using strict, you're dead in the water.

"Perl's syntax is as intuitive to beginners as that of another language whose tokens and keywords were randomly-generated" is verbose, but accurate. The structure of Randomo was entirely based on Quorum, with certain tokens and keywords ran

I've read that persistence/virtual memory is quite slow (as of at least a few months ago). If your application can stand losing some of its data every once in a while, redis could be a good option.

Sorry, I feel like I'm missing something. It's pretty, but is this only Amazon.com's business category sorted by "Bestselling"?

Photo 7 is very strange. Would the seat harness have allowed his body to move this far forward? This probably also would have pushed the stick forward which isn't consitent with the way the airplane maneuvered, AFAIK. Any ideas?

This analogy becomes more and more true as programming's virtues shift more toward communication and away from cleverness. When performance becomes a commodity (and it will soon, even for very large systems), the biggest expense isn't getti

Thinkpad T410s running Arch and Gnome 3. Switched over from a 3-monitor desktop setup a couple of months back and haven't really looked back. I'm finding it easier to enter "flow" on a 14" screen than with 4000 square pixels of peripheral n

I guess it could be seen as an "extra vote" for HN veterans, by separating good and bad content a little further apart. I haven't really seen it being abused. I'd really like to see downvotes removed altogether, while assigning extra weight

I came here to say that one of the exceptions would be architecture and construction, or any undertaking where redoing later is way more expensive than foreseeing now. Science is the art of collecting data and factoring out subjectivity as

I thought all of this had been said months ago when the new release schedule was announced. We all figured out what shorter time between major releases would mean: less would be added between major releases. I feel like anyone who becomes o

Thanks. I like Macs exactly for the reasons you listed -- battery life is awesome, great touchpad, great boot/wake-up times, and the box is undeniably beautiful. I just found OSX's window management really clunky and unintuitive, but that's

I definitely understand the Photoshop argument in favor of Macs. I just can't get used to GIMP, but luckily I don't need to do a whole lot of graphics work. I've heard people talking about the software, overall, being better for programmers

That's what asterisks are for. You learned a lot from it, and it was popular; that's why you include it. You can acknowledge that its a steamy pile of shit and incidentally show that you've grown as a developer and are able to acknowledge y

Stick with php -a, or here's a bash script that does the same thing: #!/usr/bin/php <?php $input = implode(' ', array_slice($argv, 1)); $timestamp = strtotime($input); echo "Raw: $input\n"; echo "Interpreted: " .

I don't think DRY applies here unless you really stretch it. The "fix it if you see it, don't put it off" principle fits a lot better.

Thanks. I've had the option to return to school for a while now and couldn't find the long-term motivation to do it for the reasons you cited. I think, especially in software, that there are many more useful criteria for judging a candidate
