I work with the author, the languages included came down purely to expertise available. Additional implementations have been submitted for Rust, Haskell and Ruby's event machine. A…

UKers, just make sure you get ash bats, not maple. A shattered bat on the ball field is embarrassing. A shattered bat on the streets is dangerous. Likely there will be no bat boy t…

Its worth noting that some investors are thinking this is a liquidity event because someone got a margin call rather than concern about euro economic concerns. I'd think its both. …

This is an argument that the unemployment problem is structural rather than cyclical. Paul Krugman points out constantly that if the unemployment problem was structural, we'd see w…

Anytime there's such a tremendous gap in security it should be a story, script kiddie, government agent or other.

I think that if you attack and damage entities seemingly at random then its a brand of terrorism. Its not al-queda and its not taking a plane from the sky and yeah terrorism is suc…

In my experience, there are few departments that have automated tests that could assist in shortening the testing cycle. If there is a bug with a new version of firefox then it wil…

I love coffee script. With coffee script and backbone I've been able to take an extra step in creating manageable complexity on the client side. I was never the greatest javascript…

The current European financial crisis has many more causes than immigration. In general, the causes fall in line with the US economic crisis causes: the housing bubble, an extended…

That's a nice resource but I don't think it shows what you intended it to show. From that timeline all I gather is that the United States has always wavered between xenophobia and …

The NYTimes story is the 2nd crime, because they're white washing Citicorp's responsibility. With all the hacking that's been going on recently, the NYT needs a full time cyber sec…

This happens with all languages and frameworks too. There are ASP.NET 1.1 apps at the last place I worked because when we did a test upgrade to 2.0 things started failing.... and t…

This was my experience as well. I invested in following Hartl's tutorial and by the end I was capable of creating webapps that did cool things.

I find that I like debugging the concatenated version of javascript better. I end up using search a lot more in chrome development tools but I actually get to the place in the code…
