Maybe they should use classes and objects instead of hashes. I.e. $session->ab_variation_overrides(); This would prevent them from mistyping ab_variation_overrides everywhere they need it... But of course, it's a lot easier to

First they came for the bagels, and I didn't speak out because I was on a low carb diet. Then they came for the micro kitchens, and I didn't speak out because I didn't mind walking a little bit further. Then they came for the free meals,

Videos not available? Really? I stopped storing videos, because they are so readily available. What kind of videos are you storing?

Try Opera Mini. Not everyone likes it on iOS, though, but when you zoom in it will nicely reformat the text so you don't neet to scroll.

I agree. It actually looks quite nice in Opera Mobile on Android: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/133910/SC20120112-084903.png

Well I can see how he's right about users tempting banks, but why would reporters who write about this need to close their Facebook accounts?

Same here in Norway, although I believe carriers have control similar to the US in larger European countries such as UK and Germany, at least.

In Norway and Sweden we also have mostly wooden houses. I would imagine it's the same in Finland as well. Probably because we have lots and lots of trees here, compared to continental Europe.

Seems they just moved here to do a startup, then applied too late for a H1B visa. They don't seem too bothered by it. They get to live in Hong Kong! Sounds awesome to me. http://leostartsup.com/2011/12/why-we-are-taking-our-startup... I d

Was the critique valid in any way, or was it just because it was written in Java and not Ruby?

Here's my prediction: the future won't be like we imagine it.

But still, is it really as easy as that? Problem solved? I'm sure some can survive on donations alone, but how would you know?

You hear this when people praise node.js, and it might be true for all I know, but I have yet to see a concrete example comparing node.js code to the same code in another framework/language. Would be very interesting and help non-node.js us

I was pretty excited to test this, but unfortunately it's not available in my country (Norway). Siri is available for iPhone users here.

I often fly between two cities here in Norway, and the flight time is just 30 minutes (it takes 5 hours by train, btw). One airline insists on serving coffee to everyone, and the since the coffee is blistering hot, some people usually still

Not when I worked there, but it's a few years ago. Don't know what they use now.

Colebourne's attitude reminds me of an attitude I encountered a lot when I used Perl. Some people would spend a lot of time complaining about how bad Perl is. Meanwhile, lots of people would be happily producing clean and maintainable code

+1 for TCMalloc. We used TCMalloc at Opera Community[0], and they still might be using it there for all I know ... it greatly improved performance on our MySQL servers! [0]: http://my.opera.com/

I'm a Scala newbie, and it did not take me long to actually understand the type signature here. Of course, when I first saw it I was confused, but it's not magical. There are probably map-methods elsewhere, but let's take the map defined on

200K swedes? Do you have a reference for that number? I've heard lower numbers. Here's an article (in Norwegian) from 2009 saying it's just under 80 000: http://www.hegnar.no/personlig_okonomi/article391433.ece

Norway, and Oslo in particular, is one of the most expensive places in the world, and prices are often discussed in the media. However, I read recently that although we like to complain about food prices, they are not very high when compa

Some people take advantage of it. People who don't use it might feel like they're paying for lazy bums. Personally I like to think most people aren't on welfare voluntarily. I recently read somewhere that Norwegians are some of the most gul

Opera does have a few Americans working there, including at least one who moved his entire family there (even his dogs, I believe). Yes, you'd might go down in salary, as hmottestad mentions, so there are pros and cons. People do live fine

We still complain. About the high prices. How short the summer is. The cold. The rain. The snow. All the people on welfare. That we can't buy beer after 18:00 om weekdays and 20:00 on Saturdays (and not at all on Sundays). Norway might not

A common misconception is that you need lots of carbs if you work out. I've done up tp 10+ hours of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training per week on a low carb diet, and felt great, so it worked fine for me.

Not sure what to think about this. Seems very well documented and thought out, and the developer tools seem great. However, the price is very steep. It's a bit unusual to see Python frameworks with this kind of pricing. Perhaps I'm too used
