Yep, I'd like to see a similar thing but in age bands.

I graduated during the peak of the recent recession. I ran into this a lot. What worked best for me was to stop fine tuning my resume and do my best to skip HR. I got a few interviews by calling friends already in the field (some of those p

Personal anecdote. Out of the blue, my wife suggested that we play some Age of Empires III. I don't have a Windows computer anymore so I decided to give it a go in Linux Mint. I used Crossover Linux (already had a license for MS Office

A simpler solution might be the ability to tweak the maximum charge percentage like you can do with a laptop.

Personally, I think this makes it unclear what the code actually does--IMHO, forgetting `new` is not a real concern. I generally just add a `create` method to the prototype so that you can do things like, `_.map(items, Constructor.create)`

"And if a public API is not thread-safe for some reason (like the usual compromises made in software development), then state this fact in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS." I prefer to use the `Unsafe` prefix for this, to make it abundantly

I think you are missing a small detail. Older people tend to be more risk averse and more likely to stay in their current position. More than likely, the answer to the question, "where are the developers with 20 years experience?"

Before anything else, I should mention that I haven't worked help desk in over 5 years. Back when I worked help desk, the most common reason for a completely FUBAR and need a re-install was that the user ran CCleaner on it.

Bluebird also solves 2 and 4: 2. Promise.prototype.bind 4. You can put try / catch / finally anywhere. It doesn't have to be in the end, but it does have to be close to what you want to wrap (just like any other try / ca

Could someone explain all of the grounds?

Yes. If you have never heard of either of these I would question whether you are sure you are even writing an application in node.

I agree with everything you say except for Mongoose. Mongoose lacks a lot of documentation on the fringe use cases. However, the beauty of open source is that you can just read the code, which, in my experience, is the most reliable documen

The term debounce comes from the hardware world. When you press a physical button it's common place for the contact to bounce, causing the contact to open and close a few times in rapid succession. So you, debounce the button press to

Interesting, because we use New Relic extensively, and I was just thinking of it as the prime example of, "what the hell is the purpose of all these dashboards and what do they mean?"

Wow, I was floored by the average cost of ownership. Mine is nowhere near that low: 1. $0. I don't have payments is 15 years old, so it's not depreciating significantly. 2. $1250. I fill up about once every two weeks. Old cars hav

Stopped reading at spaces instead of tabs. It may be a silly argument, but it's one that I'm willing to fight in the streets over. Bring it on.

C. It's low enough that you don't get to skip out on core concepts. I notice a lot of younger programmers who have only used high level languages use inappropriate data types because they do not understand the implications of thei

Generally, when browserifying angular, the first thing you want to do is create an `./app.js` that exports your app. That way you can push the actual registering of controllers and such to the controller itself instead of a massive glu

I had a similar experience not too long ago. I'm not overly fond of PHP and had already begun working on other aspects of the site in NodeJS. My solution was to rely on Vanilla Forums for user management and authentication. They also h

In my experience, I've never seen people over 40 have any more issues than younger folks getting programming jobs. However, the reason you don't see many, is that most don't want that job by the time they are that age. For mo

#1 reason a company is not a family. You do (or don't do things) for your family despite personal loss because it is good for the whole. That is something most people do not do for their company, nor should they.
