Which has the exact same impact on rental properties. In many jurisdictions it is worse for rentals (no homestead or occupancy reductions)

I've been looking for examples of applications built with scala and akka that I can learn from. I've built small, toy-ish stuff but I feel I learn a lot by looking at examples. Any…

Summary: 2 independent developers write more lines of code combined then 2 working as a pair. Thus pair programming is bad. How quaint.

I'm only saying this because your entire point is about being pedantic with the language, one of the definitions of steal[0] is "to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without…

They're ill prepared to consume the information in the format its delivered (if it is delivered at all). Notice, the revised S-1 doesn't say the amount of the adjustment, you had t…

It is not the responsibility of the purchaser to know information which is purposefully withheld from them. From the article > Scott Sweet's multi-billion dollar hedge fund client …

You can. For java if you have a source directory, you New Project -> Java -> Create from existing source code. If there isn't an option for that in php, its because no body has wri…

This is great! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I agree. Biological experiment reproducibility is an incredibly hard problem. You are probably right that it is 'trivial' by comparison in the same way that landing on mars is …

I would say that including two audio assets for the same sound seems like a code smell.

I have been in discussions about this with one of my friends working in academic materials research. Its amazing the amount of work today done by scientist at universities writing …

I realized that by replying i'm probably encouraging you to continue posting this non-sense. I agree with Joachim below, this is barely related to the article.

I think the overlooked part of this, once we step back from the natural desire to pick 'the best', is that people who care about the platforms are providing a vast set of starting …

Its the stages of grief. Something you've invested a considerable amount of your life in was revealed to you in the last 24 hours to be not what you believed it to be. That causes …

Of course, everyone would prefer to know the answer to their issues without any tools. As your code base becomes contributed to by more people, grows in size and leverages librarie…

This is completely loaded. Your implication is that the only viable test is a test which exercises all of the functionality of the most feature rich framework. How would that be a)…

It's pretty simple, honestly. For an entire day, just make things. I've found that the noise in our industry is pretty easy to ignore with minimal loss to signal by merely choosing…

This almost feels like voting based off the results of voting. Read the article, if you find it interesting, up vote. It seems like a pretty simple system. I don't think that other…

Its not wrong for you to approach everything so skeptically, but I think you have to see it from the authors perspective: 1. He clearly has an altruistic bent (he'd just returned f…

It is a reasonable belief. And I'm not criticizing you for having it. Still, this process has repeated itself for a long time. Its not always fast and the best doesn't always win, …

What make one project superior to the other, besides your opinion? Open source is darwinian. If one project proves its superiority, development will shift and other projects will c…

One additional item I would suggest is Fowler's Refactoring. In java hell, the only viable weapon is a refactoring scalpel.

The entire article doesn't contain compelling support for the argument you say he is making. Its a bunch of hand waving about how google gets bored after the engineering. That may …

The nice thing about surgery with a computer program on a server is that death is not permanent.
