I've been a programmer for about 11 years. I've been doing it professionally for about 6. The fact that you're writing code because you want to makes you a programmer, not whether …

Zend Framework (1.x), and Symfony2

Very interesting idea. Though, this seems like it would be much better suited as an Android/iOS/etc app to live on the phone itself.

Step 1: Talk to a mental health professional. I know you probably think that whatever's bothering you isn't serious enough to talk to a shrink, but when you have no friends to conf…

PHP/Other. Zend Framework, and work stuff includes Symfony more and more.

On my (frankenstein) desktop at home, I use a Logitech G5 mouse. At work, I use a MBP and have become quite fond of the touchpad.

It all depends on how you view your life. You will spend the majority of your life trying to simply survive the coming day/week/month/year. How you do so is what determines what ki…

yeah, that is retarded. getting exercise is good. exerting yourself is good. even learning some kind of self defense is good. but that is just completely retarded. speaking as some…

1) I'm not ready to make a move to California yet, and 2) I really do prefer small companies more than mega corporations with millions of employees. And 3) I don't know that they'd…

About goddamn time.

Correlation != causation. Despite the title submitted here, what the article actually says is that people are trying to subsist almost entirely on ramen, foregoing other nutrition …

The first thing I thought was "great, something else I have to create a new username and password for". Supporting OpenID, OAuth, or some other kind of federated login would be a m…

If you've never had someone contact you to stop (spamming|scraping|crawling|DOSing) their web service, then you're not experimenting enough. That said, once they ask you to stop, i…

I don't do anything unencrypted (no sites that don't support ssl, no ftp or telnet, etc). If I absolutely have to do something potentially insecure, I set up an ssh tunnel through …

Capistrano + Git. Works beautifully, and rolling back bad deployments is a breeze

I will probably swap out my two 1TB HDDs when there are reasonably priced SSD equivalents. Right now, there's still way too high of a pricing premium and way too few choices for te…

Honestly, TrueCrypt will stop all but the most determined and sophisticated criminals. So unless you have state secrets on your laptop, TC should be sufficient. Unless they have a …

You may not always have your optimal tool set, such as when you're remoting into someone else's environment (common for sysadmins or contractors), or when you're stuck using someon…

At work: 27" iMac + Textmate + Virtualbox + Transmit + ExpanDrive + Shimo + Navicat At home: Custom PC w/ 24" Samsung monitor + e Text Editor + Virtualbox + PuTTY + Filezilla + Exp…

That article, for being so wordy, is remarkably slim on details. If the issue is that he refused to use a condom, then that doesn't constitute rape if they decided to have sex with…

I already use free fonts from FontSquirrel, so I don't know what extra value they add?

Even then, we still have options that people haven't always had, like adoption or surrogacy.

Because they can. We live longer now than we ever have...We don't have to be married and having kids by the time we're twenty, before the plague or dysentery gets us. A female frie…

This would be awesome if the website hosting the strips was actually up. Poor little sad broken image icons...

"How can you tell if a CEO is lying?" Easy. If words are coming out, he's lying.
