Wasn't the java configuration what spring wanted to replace in the first place? The idea was to follow the inversion of control principle. Here's how wikipedia defines it: >In software engineering, Inversion of Control (IoC) is an objec

Cross-platform tools often have a single user interface that tends to look foreign on every platform (sencha touch), or they force you to code a different ui for every targeted platform (titanium?). How is the ui problem is usually tackled

Does anyone have an idea what kind of programming jobs lend themselves best to part-time work? The author doesn't mention the kinds of projects he works on. I'm unemployed since last week and I've been trying to find a part-time programming

It's good to stay away from an organization that rewards lying. You're lucky to have found this out before working there.

This proposal is not just an attack against Hollywood, it aims to replace cinema with something else. It's about actively working to destroy an art form. It sounds just as over the top as shutting down the internet to curb piracy. If you re

The claim that Hollywood was created to evade Edison's patents is dubious. According to "A history of narrative film" by David A. Cook "The reason why a full-scale Eastern-based industry moved its entire operation to southern California dur

And this other study comes to the opposite conclusion: "People are least happy in their 40s and early 50s. They reach a nadir at a global average of 46". http://www.economist.com/node/17722567

Yesterday I was trying to make an ebook out of a comic I made, where there is one image per page. The designers of epub and mobi apparently didn't think it useful to be able to put an image in the center of a page, it has to be glued to the

It looks stunning. It hadn't occurred to me that phones could be used as sophisticated remote controllers. What technology do you use for real-time communication?

Yes. You could also say that the study shows how students behave when you tell them they're average. I believe there was another study that showed how a good music student could be turned into a bad music student just by telling him he was

I overlooked the name of the site and went there expecting to read something about people who start religions. It turns out the evangelist metaphor does not hold up very well.

Word and Excel had an unfair advantage over Wordperfect and lotus 1-2-3 because Microsoft had a quasi-monopoly over the operating system. At some point a judge had even decided Microsoft should be split into an os company and an application

My guess is wacom managed to improve the quality enough to make it usable for artists. The other pens seem to be mainly useful for ocr, and are marketed as tools for taking notes. The automatic vectorization of the drawings is also nice.

Thirty or forty years ago, people apparently had much stronger identities, according to an old french psychologist I heard on the radio. People were much more inclined to think of themselves as 'a communist' or 'an artist'. It's true that t

Ward Cunningham disagrees with your interpretation of his metaphor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqeJFYwnkjE&t=4m18s He explains that technical debt is code written before you have a complete understanding of the problem to solve. Y

I like the opposition of lifelong hobbies to disposable media. Next time someone asks if games are art, dismiss art as disposable media. But seeing art as a consumer product is sterile. It's healthier to consider it a lifelong hobby. In the

You're trying to help someone who lost his self-confidence by making him feel ridiculous. It can't work. Advising someone lonely to "Go meet some people" is a bit like telling him to be happy. How do you do that? If he has trouble speaking

Ask how to make friends and everybody will tell you to have a hobby or join a club. And when you do, you indeed meet people who only do these things because they enjoy them, already have enough friends and no time for new ones. Or maybe it

I was talking from a theoretic point of view. In standard economic theory an outcome is considered good if it makes all participants better off. Economists consider that people can agree on this. Economists don't even try to answer the ques

Markets can't work without property rights. If people agree on property rights, they have implicitly created a law.

The market is created by laws, laws are created by politicians, politicians are elected. That's how a democracy should work, anyway. City planning is something complicated where I'm not so sure a pure market-driven solution would be optimal

There are countries where people are not used to having conversations. I've heard of a wedding of a cameroonian to an american, where the cameroonian guests thought the american guests were crazy because they spoke so much.

"Talk less" is only good advice for those who already talk a lot. I had to learn to say things without caring too much for their relevance. It helped a lot with conversations.
