In honor of this post I just called my IT partner wife a bugger face. To wit she replied: "Yeah well you're but dust")
It's scriptural.

The demand for Linux developers has jumped seven percent in comparison to last year, a study has shown. Well, that's it. *This* will be the Year of Linux (tm)

Odd. Just tried it and it worked for me. Blocked by work?

Nope, at home. Just tried with 2 different computers, several browsers, and my (Windows 8.1) phone.
Hm, once I disabled wifi on my phone and just went through the cell service it came up. I guess my ISP (Time Warner Cable) is blocking it or something. Odd.
Disregard - obviously this is just affecting me, and maybe others using the same ISP.

If you want to hire a developer and you are not a developer I have a script for you to use:-
"I want you to create the very best work you have ever created and I want you to do it for me. If you come and work here, we will do whatever makes that possible".

A Python developer gets on a London subway, shoves a man and lobs a nasty F bomb. Later that day, the developer gets a surprise, as the man is interviewing him for a job. "Kismet, Hardy"

No he didn't. London doesn't have a subway (unless we're talking about that rather skanky sandwich shop). London has the underground; the DLR.

Sure it does - just go along the sidewalk ...

What you say and/or do to someone WILL come back to bite you in the a**!! Usually not that fast, but it will happen, even in the most subtle ways. (Is that the right word?)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Yes. It's the correct word.

The mental paralysis surrounding Stored Procedures and Functions in your database is hurting you. These things exist for a reason: your database and all of its amazing amazingness is there to help you. To love you and your data! You need to let this love flow. CREATE PROCEDURE because_they_work

Stored procedures - the "code behind" for data storage.
Yes - use them for data consistency but not for business rules because "octopus fight squid in plate of linguine, not pretty".

I particularly like how he attempts to classify a membership scheme as "not business logic" because most business apps need it. Doesn't that just make it common business logic.
There is a place for stored procedures, this article just doesn't identify them.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Amusingly (to me), he's written at least two ORMs (Subsonic and massive), and his last business (before he got bought by PluralSight) was written in Rails. I think he might have just hit those problems too often to ignore.

My purpose in writing this emulator (other than sheer nostalgia) is to use it as a training tool for new programmers. Because everyone needs a PDP-8 emulator on their iPad
If that's not about the widest technology gap between machines, it's pretty close.

Quote: For example, open-plan offices made it easier for researchers to gather information compared to those with private offices or cubicles.
I can't say I needed another reason to loathe open plan offices; but I'll take it anyway.

According to a new report from GFI, an average of 19 vulnerabilities per day were reported in 2014. "Funny how time changes, rearranges everything"

Does anyone know where to find reports from the last few years? I'm interested in how much of the churn is previous most pwned apps fixing their problems vs someone else getting pwned worse the next year...

“The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression,” the astrophysicist said. “It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or a partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.” [^]
If you approach my man-cave, make sure you come with both hands empty ... where I can see them.
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

I'm guessing he hasn't read "better Angels of our nature" or "the world before us".
tl;dr :- human violence has decreased exponentially in recent history (even including the two world wars, Rwanda, North Korea etc..)
However - if Hawking believes in the many worlds interpretation of quantum effects he should know that every time I decide not to hit someone a parallel universe is created where that punch plays out in deed rather than just in thought.
