I believe (hope) I haven't been the most distracted parent - I banned all news apps and facebook, twitter etc. from my smartphone long ago. Three weeks ago I broke my iPhones scree…

I'm working since 3 years at a growing startup that has been hiring Scala Engineers at least every half year since I started. In the last ~18 months, the amount of CVs we're gettin…

Their marketing claim of "Full Self-Driving Hardware" is evil-genius - it's very similar to the Halting problem[0] - Turing proofed that we can not develop an algorithm that can pr…

> The main concern with this approach is that the event store is no longer immutable I think what happens when you delete all events of a (deleted) aggregate root (such as a custom…

Volvo is also manufacturing a car with a pedestrian airbag, the V40: https://support.volvocars.com/uk/cars/Pages/owners-manual.as... Both Volvo and Uber could have opted to use thi…

Not if you get ulcerative colitis, cancer, or similar. Or if you get a baby and want parental leave. Or if you want to send your kids to university.

I wrote some RAML recently and found it very good for creating a machine-readable representation of an API. We also wanted to make it human-readable and use it as our API reference…

The Soviet Gas Pipeline explosion - if the whole CIA story is true at all - should not be labelled a bug... The code allegedly did exactly what it's creator intended ;-)

Looks really cool. I was first thinking it saves the JSON with the new Postgres JSON support, but saving it as relational data is even more impressive! I'd say if the OPTIONS would…

What is so ugly about it? Swift tries to be somewhat close to the usual C-syntax (it's supposed to be the successor of Obj-C, after all). For someone used to C-syntax, I guess the …

I would walk away. Actually, consider yourself lucky that they've shown their true face so early on and you can get out now :-) When considering hiring a lawyer etc., also take a l…

> you look better each day than the day before Again, this is only true if you are unfit. I have been doing sports regularly for the last decade and my body is in good shape. My do…

I'm 100% for doing some sports, and sticking with it while doing a startup. I'm 100% AGAINST doing it for a "guaranteed win" :-) First of all, there may be a direct relationship be…

I have never used a gift card at starbucks before, but that bill [0] doesn't make any sense to me. He says he has two cards: One has $15, one has $5. Card 3203 is billed $14.68 and…

You're right, there isn't anything wrong with the six stages per se. The root cause is really that (a) they're forcing a stateful model onto the web and (b) that the way they're ke…

Well, a lot of Java web apps ARE slow as hell, but one can't really blame Java-the-language (or the JVM) for it. Two examples from my experience: JSF is doing lots of "magic" tryin…

> Simply "not using Rails" anymore however is, well, not that simple! After the OP has described why he likes Rails ("good toolset", "Ruby gems cover everything"), I would've reall…

Very high on my reading list is "Leading Snowflakes"... but since I didn't read it yet, take it with a grain of salt. Since you mention that you're working in a distributed team, I…

When experimenting with standing (well, also walking) desks I found that the height of the table is less important than the height of the monitor, and that using a plain laptop, as…

I've used this for an app I've build for fun (to check out Swift). It ranks bad for both Yoga and Meditation, yet one can't use the app for anything else. I could, theoretically, r…

In a couple of years, there will be no need to own a car for most people. Lots of car-manufacturers have already started to build out the infrastructure for "cars on demand" (e.g. …

Yep, been travelling through SE-Asia for the last 3 months. Loads of scooters here and they're parked anywhere on the street or sidewalks. Even if you'd theoretically get a power o…
