You can see this anywhere. My mom discovered I like expensive third-wave coffee...and shelled out for a box of Starbucks Via instant for Christmas (thanks, Mom). It all tastes the same to her. Meanwhile I'm sure someone is scoffing at

Ya'll complain about how hard it is to hire and at the same time brag about how it's about the experience, baby, forget the salary! You're basically self-selecting for financially stable people with no dependents which... yea

Having art explained to you is like having a joke explained... now you "get" it, but that's beside the point.

I think some of it might just be that CS theory sounds intimidating. But if you paid attention in college (which it sounds like you did), you might find that papers really aren't that hard to read. The hairy bit comes up when you don&#

You will always have the nagging guilt of passing by the janitor, whose job exists because cleaning bathrooms is dirty and time-consuming, and wondering why your work has more value than theirs. But what if there is no logic to the system,

What if Eich didn't think he did anything wrong? Would you be comfortable with him lying his way out of it? The objection to having him as CEO is that he doesn't support gay marriage; that doesn't change, and you've forc

Sounds like the analogies of Seattle being the San Francisco of the northwest (or vice versa) are correct... we have the same issues with bureaucracy, progress-fearing residents, etc. I actually thought I was reading the Pando article from

Haha, that's amazing - guess you can monitor anything with Nagios.

FYI, there's no API. Heart rate monitoring is a bit of a sham, if you're looking to use it during exercise. It's designed to gather more of an average rate throughout the day than give an accurate reading while you're ex

Getting the design right is important. But it's poorly communicated. For better or worse, programmers tend to be primadonnas who don't respond well to being told to move a button 3px (see seivan, et. al) for no reason. Furthermore

You don't find it fascinating, you're just being an asshole. You took a general problem and made it about yourself - because for whatever reason you've decided your interpretation of the problem rules above all else, and ever

I would suggest from a mental health and happiness perspective to avoid dwelling on why you believe your friend is acting the way they are. Their reasons are often less dramatic than what your brain might come up with. But if you do feel li

It's strange to me that the "prudent"/"rational" thing to do as a retail investor is to park your money in index funds/ETFs. I don't doubt that it works, but I wonder why. To me, it's totally irr

This might be overkill but I found I never "got" regular expressions until a class made me think about them as state machines. The additional bashing over the head of having to implement a parser/matcher made it really stick.

I worked for WellnessFX (mentioned in the article) in the past and definitely recommend their service. The stuff they test for is not a part of standard (e.g yearly physical) blood work and you'd have to convince your doctor to give yo

"The problem is when you start with something like rails then javascript was an afterthought - something bolted on long after the technology was built." TCP: 1974 HTTP: 1991 Your point?

This is shortsighted. Why not just give them money? We already spend money on waste management to collect the stuff. But no, we can't, then it'd be a handout. And we, even community-minded people like Eric Dunn, can't stomach

Not to take an entertaining post too seriously, but when your graph scale ranges from 0 - 0.02% the statistical significance is dubious.

It would be good to read it with a different mindset. Learning something requires you to feel stupid for a bit, otherwise it's no great feat to learn it (and consequently feel awesome). The problems are all doable , given the expected

Well, if these benchmarks are misguided and useless, it is useful to recognize it as such so you don't go out and trade all your EC2 instances for Linodes. "At least we're doing something!" is a silly defense.

I think you have your cause and effect backwards. Being paid 50k doesn't make you a bad developer. But bad developers tend to get paid less. At least, one would hope...

It's amusing how quickly programmers-turned-managers forget their roots. Look here: I used to get a huge feeling of satisfaction from a weekend spent working on a clever hack. I would spend serious effort making something run

The one thing keeping me from using FF dev tools is the fact that there's no interactive console in the debugger. Seems like you have to instead create watch expressions for everything you want to check. Even GDB lets you poke around after

While this makes sense when dealing with a central repo (which I agree is the vast majority of use cases), it's inaccurate. You're rewriting history so that it looks like your work happened on top of $REMOTE's work, when in reality it was t
