Now you too can make your apps look as ugly as atlassian's!

People really should consider the cheap Acer machines. They are more than adequate for most tasks. My main workstation is one of these: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/11/27/revi…

Excellent site - thank you.

99% of programmers don't know what a tail call is, so why do you need them?

Arduino is an implementation of the hardware and the toolchain (I think it's AVR based). You can probably stick a PIC/LPC on it and cross-compile the software and have the same res…

TBH, it sounds like his software is a mess.

I've only every heard good things about them until now. That's usually a bad sign (spin).

Our IE6 support policy was tell all our paid up clients 6 months before 1st Jan 2010 that we'll be dropping IE6 support. We have a 6 month lead on changes. The only complaints we h…

I trialled this a while ago. Whilst good in principle, you lose a lot of the power of the web forms view engine, particularly with the strong-typing of hyperlinks and routing integ…

The reason they don't program is that the computer is no longer a marvellous box of wonder. It's just a tool like a screw-driver or a book.

It's dying because all they do is publish paid for shit.

In which they will write Ruby in 200 lines of Lisp.

Ok so basically make them feel at home so they stay there and earn you lots of money. In the EU, particularly the UK they can fuck off.

Which is why i spent $100 on my PC and run XP using the PID that came stuck to it :) More money to spend on my family.

Apple are the new Microsoft. Conversely, Microsoft are the new Apple.

Or, just not bother and keep your SPO2 up and healthy :)

Total shit. a) BMI is not a good measure of anything. It is based on a flawed methodology [1]. Look at athletes for a concrete example. b) The data they provide is pretty random an…

Firstly, I've never had a malloc fail because I code very defensively. If memory is likely to be an issue, you should control the usage of your memory to start with. Also, the virt…

Another rhetoric on the obvious. When will Atwood write something ground breaking?

Clever stuff - it's hard enough to get one quine working!

Your comment is total rubbish. This is not JUST for beginners. It's enough stuff to get you going on real AVR kit without having to fish out for very expensive dev tools and compil…

I don't get all the fuss. Internally, most relational databases could be classified as "NoSQL" databases at the storage-engine level. SQL is just an expressive language to talk to …

That project should simply not exist. I think the fundamental issue is that Ruby's VM implementation and lack of standards sucks utter cock.

I think the reason he ran out of space is that he didn't keep on top of all the crap that he got sent.
