Albert was told what month the birthday occurred in. We then learn from Albert that has has enough information to work out the birthday. Which means - he couldn't have been told August, since there were two possible solutions.

If utility computing is to is be taken seriously, then it has to institute the same kind of discipline that we see occurring in the airline industry. Recent examples come to mind: pilot letting songstress hold the wheels and wearing the pil

I hope it becomes a fireable offence. Any deviation from procedure has to be signed off at the very least.

Spot on. Building networks is key. A software developers role tend to involve a lot of time alone, and this counts against long term career development. In particular, meeting time is often treated as bad time while writing code is valued.

If there's one thing I learnt today, I'd make sure my SQL abstraction libraries include test cases which makes sure the libraries barf when presented with bad input.

Awesome. Can you make that an app for offline use?

Can someone explain a little bit more? I think I've been spoilt rotten by the web API world. Don't telcos provide MMS gateway like how they provide SMS gateways? What is actually happening under the hood here?

I'm surprised they haven't done a chunky smartwatch. That would provide plenty of battery life, and more room for electronics, while at the same time fill a bigger unmet niche.

This also neatly ties in with the Mythical Man Month. You cannot increase the headcount to in the hope that you can accelerate. There is a great deal of domain knowledge that is locked up, and initially - growing involves having a person wh

+1 Battery life is the limiting factor in mobile phones. They are usually disconnected all day. It is worthwhile to put up with all the engineering pain because having a phone that runs all day is most to end users. Whenever I get a new pho

This case is extremely interesting, because it presents a very difficult problem. What is it that Knight could have done to prevent such a serious error from occurring? At the core it seems is that each application server is effectively run

String interpolation is wrong in a world where there are so many variants of escaping strings. It is not useful for templating HTML, SQL, CSV, JSON, XML. This only leaves us console programs and backdoors. I'm happy to give these two u

Everybody should just back off and let Julie chill out before she damages herself further. This is not a general complaint against company culture, but a one that libels a lot of individuals.

No they do not imply wrong doing. There are a lot of good reasons why cross citation occurs. Having an alternate score gives you another sense of what kind of work this person is doing. You have to remember - using cross citation to inflate

Actually, I'd like to see what happens when you apply Google's antispam measures to research papers. There are some researchers who constantly reference one another, like a link farm, in order to boost their credentials.

Fascinating. In this game, the side that buys a rainmaker can never win. They can only buy the prestige that comes with a higher top line, but do nothing for their bottom line.

Well, less powerful toylike computing devices eventually grow up. I don't know what the transition looks like. Perhaps it will be via phablets. Or it might be a popular iPad accessory or a new kind of dock that got funded through kicks

One of the common problem programmers face is the customer telling them what solution they wanted, instead of describing what problem they have. In this way, it is better to describe what you need / want out of Microsoft for you to ach

We need to get away from the idea of intrinsic worth. There are somethings that are worth a lot that you wouldn't pay money for, such as honesty. Converse applies too. Furthermore, even money itself has no intrinsic worth. The old Indi

I bet you half the problem is the software being specified in a synchronous and not asynchronous manner. If a flow chart is expressed synchronously, it immediately bottlenecks around the slow backend systems. e.g. check the applicant has 4
