Actually, if you have spare time, you should include those who pirate your apps in whatever usage measurements you already do. With luck, you can probably discover why people pirate your apps. Maybe due to price, or that your nearest compet

My degree is in Computer Science. I fell in love with philosophy - political, spiritual and economics - when I was in my final year. My grades took a hit because I was convinced that I was in the wrong major. It took the quiet words of my t

The leap from imperative to functional becomes apparent when you stop thinking of your problem or system in terms of the data it processes, but it terms of the functions it has. Yes, I belong to the school which believes everyone should hav

Welcome to Singapore! I'm a native and I am glad you are enamored of our little island so much so you applied for permanent residency. :) On the flip side, if you stay long enough and pay more attention to what goes on around you, I hope yo

The problem isn't her philosophy. The problem is that Objectivism attracts the worst kind of people: the self-deluded sociopaths who suffer from massive cognitive dissonance and really think they are better than the rest of the human race a

At the end of the day, we have to recognize the fact that for a large section of humanity, it is far more comfortable to surrender part of your free will to some form of authority, rather than take responsibility for our thoughts and action

Well, considering the fact they need more data points to make it more accurate and meaningful... Now I can understand why employers want to keep them a secret, I have never understood why individual employees want to keep their salaries a s

I can understand where she is coming from: if you can't survive doing what you love, what is the point of being a master carpenter if you can't support your family with it? Now this contradiction is probably more applicable outside the west

Personally, the most important take away point from the software craftsmanship movement [well, as I see it] is that it gets programmers to feel good about themselves, take pride in their work, and keep on improving. I am sure for many who b

The story does not say whether their previous settlement with Facebook is still valid. Is it still valid?

Interesting. I believe an additional survey asking people what they consider to be a free market would be quite enlightening. Welcome to 2010 and witness the world where your market economy fails every three to five years due to the greed o

I would say first world nations are economically successful because their economies became diverse, i.e. a heavily distributed, highly concurrent and parallel system of systems. Given our current circumstances, it seems capitalism - i.e th

If this was true, you would have seen all of them migrating en-mass to some Caribbean or European micro-state. Despite possessing the means to move freely between nation-states, the rich are also equally addicted to the comforts that they c

I can only say just use the parts you like and ignore the rest. I lived through EJB 1.0. Spring and Hibernate are massive improvements compared to that and the community and software parts will continue to evolve. BTW, I would like to point

I find that it actually looks better. Then again, as a zen master would say, it does not look better or worst, it has simply changed.

I can only echo what pivo said and tell you to stick it out longer. You can try it out in a suitable development environment which will help out greatly as you wrap your brain around the syntax. Once you're done with Erlang, you should move

As someone earlier had pointed out, the totality of Socialism is not Marxist-Leninism. If you read the article, Einstein also warned that a planned economy did not preclude the enslavement of the individual. Living is essentially a contradi

Hunger has little to do with it. Actually, to understand why Google is unable to succeed, you have to understand Facebook's incremental approach to integrating real life social groups. Facebook started out by targeting the college demograph

Notability is broken, since it is usually subjective and wielded mercilessly as an axe by the Wikipedia mafia to cull material which they deem as not notable. Inclusive? Haha, don't make me laugh.

Sensationalist article which probably allows the author to say "I told you so". Rushkoff is probably right .. in a decade or so if the leadership at Facebook becomes incompetent. By then, the rich clients of Goldman Sachs and all the privat

I have a love-hate relationship with various ORMs - Hibernate, iBatis, etc. I can understand why he hates Rails, which auto-magically does alot of things for the web developer. The thing is that as a programmer, you need to realize that the

The reason for this observation has nothing to do with age and more to do with the nature of their jobs when they actually reach 30. The bulk of the jobs out there are neither exciting nor challenging after the first hump and most people ou
