I was expecting an ability to view the data not so much as a way to opt out, but to see if there's anything I could improve. Maybe something is public that is only hurting my "score" so to speak. Maybe the little I contribute

There is one sentence missing from each graph that would've made this a lot easier to grok: "x is better" where x is more requests, faster startup time, or less memory usage. I prefer graphs that lead me to what I should expe

I live in the suburbs of Atlanta and it's pretty much all over here. I have a problem with noticing it primarily because I don't bother doing it, I can wait those few extra seconds or minutes to be safe. I think the main reason it

I think you hit on why Diaspora hasn't really taken off. There may be technical challenges I gloss over but centralization denotes authority to me. Most design by committee OSS seems to suck really hard but having that one strong

There's a few scenarios I can think of when a company thinks employees will trash an office: The firing is particularly brutal The company was particularly brutal to employees. Shitty conditions or pay The company can't trust that

I misspoke. What you are describing comes from developer feedback but indirectly in a sense. This, I think, is a nice standard of measurement. Its when people solicit absolutely no feedback either in the form of past projects where hours ar

Management giving estimates? No thanks. I'd rather them take my input and do their job of understanding trends. When I say something takes a long time and it takes longer, I'm not bullshitting. When I think something takes a long

There's a difference in the two phrases: I love you, but you're fucking stupid. You're fucking stupid, but I love you. I prefer the former to the latter. Sweeten me up then crush me with reality. A lot of people see the lat

Very good points. Just recently being married has me in a strange provider mode where it wants to reign as long in my life. 5 dependents vs 1 is an even tougher game. Stability is king but it ultimately comes down to happiness and joy. The

Inadvertently, you could say I owe my entire programming career to you specifically. Yes I can expound upon VisualBasic's retarded conceptions but playing around and making "Forms" was how I got really interested in programmi

I forgot about that point. At some stage they would send you a refurb as you likely "proved" you sent yours in. They knew they would replace it so sometimes it would come back stupid quick. In all but the last of mine, I got the s

This is how I've structured our use at the place I'm at. TortoiseGit is better than svn to me. Submodules are the key though in our situation these are best when they can exist in the same directory structure. We create a master r

WebMatrix 3 makes a decent free Node/PHP IDE. It isn't as polished as this looks to be and nothing really beats VS proper as it were but it makes a pretty convincing run at being second place behind VS Express and at least support

RailsInstaller does a really good job now. Windows now feels second class but that's much better than 4th-5th-good luck getting anything to run. I see more people in the #RoR Irc channel admit to using windows so its gaining traction.

Definitely. I'd add, if "medical professionals" were telling you you were wrong from something you felt clearly, run away. You aren't incorrect or just "need to adapt". We are all not built the same and as an i

Yeah PHP supports // or # as comments so the C language support gets you most of the way there if not all.

Super nice. Combining this with most support for updating issues via commit messages this makes it stupid easy to almost never leave the code. The only thing you likely can't easily do is deal with issue comments but that would be kill

This is never a positive thing to me. It helps when everyone has the same level of problems but it really sucks when you never need help from others. This is a personal problem with the open office I deal with now. I had a coworker that wou

SourceTree is good if you can handle the .NET 4.5 requirement. At work, we can't risk the breakage 4.5 can possibly do to 4.0 apps and can't force customers to upgrade for 2/x applications so I don't bother. My first for

I'm no lawyer but wouldn't email communication at the very least be used as evidence, if not an "informal contract". The scope of the work had to be defined somewhere. Obviously this falls apart if this was all done via

That's not entirely accurate. I blame high turnover. When no engineer is left to fight for their pet causes, AOL and Microsoft happen. Hell I attribute MS' decline more to turnover from very key players (one could out Bill Gates h

Unless you lived right by, and I mean next door, to the refurb place I believe in Texas, it was never a few days. A few weeks maybe. I've had a Xbox 360 since launch go through 2 rrod's (so not really the same console) and at be

We've had someone put a graphically intensive Flash application on Atom processors. Their reasoning was lower heat output and very small footprint. There are newer i5's that are maybe twice as big that absolutely blow these things

Ahh something I can speak to directly. At my current gig, we use SiteKiosk which locks windows down tight . It uses the IE WebBrowser control via ActiveX/COM/.Net/however the hell it works. Its basically IE but slightly shit

This is my request as well. A demo or screenshots go a long way to promote something like this. A lot of helpdesk apps are alike so showing your uniqueness is key at this stage.

I'm going to be roughly saying the same thing as josh but I noticed a few examples. Paragraph #1 is barely a sentence. "The thing is.." used more than once and paragraph 4 spurred this comment. That much in parenthesis likely

I think you're looking for Mindscape Web Workbench ( http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/2b96d16a-c986-... ) Not part of VS proper but if you can use extensions it's a good alternative. I haven't used

I think XAML is that format, but it isn't without its pain points. You pretty much can't do animation without a tool like Blend unless you're a sadist. It looks like Xamarin uses .AXML for Android (maybe a XAML flavor) but ha

I was excited to see the MSDN discount, realized it was double business licenses (Android and iOS bundled together) and doesn't apply to BizSpark or DreamSpark. The discount makes both not much more than a single business license. I

This is definitely how it should be, the rule not the exception. It tends to seem like the exception in the places I've been exposed to. Its likely my choice centered around this area of the Atlanta suburbs that reinforces my perceptio
