Alas, that seems to have also been reduced to simply meaning "JSON over HTTP", instead of taking advantage of Hypermedia, but there is hope with more articles, such as http://www.infoq.com/articles/programming

Wow, surprised that this didn't really get any attention -- dailyjs.com was one of my go-to JS sites. :-(

Can you clarify the problem that this solves? Is this to replace screen sharing for presentations? If so, how is audio handled?

So build attention span by reading books for a book club? That's all I got.

Ironically, the tool is not provided as a Docker image (or at least none is mentioned).

Without knowing the order of magnitude of the size of your data, its "shape" (is it a fixed layout, is it different per write?), as well as the perf requirements you mention (how many simultaneous reads and how much is being read

One of the big advantages of "micro-services" is that for each individual service, you can pick the best language suited for that service. If you're going to pick a single language (and I agree with kasey_junk on which to pic

Like others, I use whatever text editor I find most convenient and write it in Markdown-like syntax (on Windows, that's MarkdownPad). When I want to get it into PDF, I'll either use Leanpub to make it into an eBook, or I'll c

It's all about fixing their problems and/or filling a need or desire. In other words, start with the "why": why does a company need your services? What problems do they have and how would you solve them? When I go to you

Could you be more specific about the location? "SF Peninsula" covers a lot of ground, and the jobs page is equally vague. Crunchbase says Portola Valley, but for those who care about commute time, this isn't a minor detail. T

In addition to the resources mentioned, find a buddy, or a mentor, to work with (even if they're also new to programming). You'll both learn a lot more together than alone. If you find books like "How to Design Programs"

I think you're using the word "container" when perhaps "app server container" is more meaningful. An app server container (like Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere, etc.) typically provides services (database connectivity,

You are completely reasonable. I've turned down offers because of this exact reason (and it was the only problem with the offer). I tell them that if they won't give me the denominator of the equation, I'll assume it's p

Are you saying CAP doesn't apply to immutable shared state, or something else, i.e., what do you mean by "state"?

I trained for my first marathon with Team In Training back in 2010. The key things I learned then (and since): * Run with others if you can. Especially important on those long runs. * Work your core. This is hard for me, but doing planks, c

I like to look not just at the code itself (simple measures such as nesting level and lemgth of method/function), but also at the frequency and correlation of file changes. Noticing that you often change the same files together is an i

So, um, what's new? I really wish that projects would make it a habit, especially with new releases, to tell folks what's so new that required a new major (or .1 minor) release. After 10 minutes of looking around, I haven't b

I don't believe the article said that the repo, resume, etc. are useless, it's just that you need to establish a baseline of "can this person code"? Having done hundreds of interviews, I'm sorry to say that even see

I was working on a Twitter client that did something very much like this (partitioning people into different streams, etc.), but once I saw the way the wind was blowing (in terms of how Twitter didn't want third-party developers), I no

This is why I love TDD: the only code I need to think about are the tests that implement my expectations. Writing the code itself is easy, I just have to write the dumbest thing that will make the tests pass. Of course, this all assumes you

Etsy should open up a new site that handles businesses that outgrow Etsy. Seems silly to try and squeeze everyone into the same mold and then not have an option to make money on those who are "too" successful to hand make everything.

This is why I will always make sure that I know (as others have suggested) what I'd do if I got booted off of a platform. This happened to me with Amazon: I was selling a few used books a month, when one day my email got hijacked. That mean

Look, if you're going to be pedantic about it, at least be correctly pedantic. It's not Lego®, it's LEGO® (all caps), as in "LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group..." etc. :D

Agreed -- in fact, it's hard to find a book or other instruction manual that describes how to build something cool, without it requiring a bunch of "special" pieces. Also, I'm not sure what's happened, but I've noticed color variations in t

I use Prismatic ( http://getprismatic.com ) which gives me more than enough to read on a daily basis. I also use Zite on my iPad (because Prismatic doesn't have an iPad app -- yet?).
