RIA and java script
As an entrepreneur, I believe that RIA could reduce the money payed for hosting compared with normal web applications (where the presentation is generated on server).
I find ActionScript a good solution but the flow these days is with Html 5 and JavaScript even if it is not clear for me if that is what some big companies want or the customers (and the entrepreneurs) really need.
Is JavaScript good enough for RIA? What Java Script frameworks would you use for real RIA?

5 Web-based Powerpoint Alternatives
I really like this, I'm not usually one to go for flashy looking websites but it communicates the idea very effectively in what is clearly a unique manner.
Amen. I've worked perfectly happily and successfully in software for the last 10 years, writing what most of the software industry is writing - database apps.

I've never, ever, needed to write a linked list, a sorting algorithm, access memory directly and pass around pointers or any of the sample problems that are being cited here. I know the theory, I've done them in academia many years ago but I've got more important and useful things to remember on a day-to-day basis. These are firmly under the category of 'look them up if I ever need them again' and I'd be perfectly happy with a hypothetical candidate (I've not interviewed anyone in years) who said they knew the theory and would look up the exact details. I do that all the time with the more esoteric features.

At my last place, we did have a coding test as part of the interview. We checked all sorts of little things but could usually mark the entire test with some accuracy on the first question.

1. Please write a valid SQL inner join statement.

Seriously. For a position specifying SQL, to maintain an SQL backed custom business application, a majority of applicants couldn't write an inner join.

I suppose I'm saying - do whiteboard / paper coding tests, but do the _right_ ones for your projects. Don't give them a test on something that's clever but unnecessary for what you do, check they know the basics and are up to speed with independent learning and they should be fine.

I would suggest that not aiming for a Google or Facebook acquisition (or big IPO) actually allows that kind of experimentation.

What surprises me most about this is that this is a solved problem.

Labels on maps, proximity to their data point, shades to represents importance, placing of labels to ensure clarity... all of this has long been solved in the area of automated report generation, and specifically things like bubble charts.

All that I see when I look at a Google Maps is all of the solutions to the problem of producing legible and clear reports applied to a map.

All that I see when I look at Bing and Yahoo mapping are solutions that have only looked at the domain of mapping and haven't considered whether other domains have solved these problems.

I don't see "tricks" by Google, I just see a set of solutions from one area being applied to the same essential problems in another area.

In order to determine what's "on par" with .NET/VS, you have first to define your goal. If it is writing web apps for Windows servers, it's pretty good. If it's writing desktop apps for Windows using C/C++/C#/VB.net, then VS is an obvious choice.

If, however, your goal is to deliver a desktop application that runs on Windows, MacOS X and other Unixes, or an app that runs on Symbian mobile phones, VS is worst than useless.

I'm all on board with #2 and if it's true I think you yanks should be proud of having intelligence agencies that actually live up to their name.
I suspect there's quite a bit of overlap in the types. I am definitely not a 'workaholic' according to the usual definition of the term, but I -do- prefer to just get the facts and finish the call as quickly as possible. I'm not there to make a friend, I'm there to solve a problem.

This was actually true no matter which side of the conversation I was on. And some callers definitely appreciated that when I was solving their problems.

However, I did have enough sense to know when to just let a customer rant and deal with their emotions as the problem, instead of the actual initial problem they had.

Also, my current company used to do personality tests before hiring someone so that they could get the right attitude in the company. They stopped doing that a while back, but that initial seed of pleasant attitudes has persisted since those initial people are now doing the hiring. It has worked out really, really well for employees and clients alike.

Rejecting is not a direct complaint. She seems to understand that this indeed is just part of life. Yes, she doesn't want to be hit on. But that's a straightforward interaction she can deal with -- by rejecting it, as she says, and moving on.

The bulk of the post, the actual problem she's complaining about, is being hit on by "stealth", where she can't bluntly reject without compromising other interests, whatever the context is supposed to be on the surface.

EDIT: Whoever downvoted you is an asshole. Explaining the reasoning for your interpretation is a necessary part of this conversation.
Or the doctor was splitting the clock in half hour chunks (or similar). "born at 3am" probably means "born between 2:45am and 3:15am". If a baby was born at 3:02am, the next day they will say "I got no sleep, a baby was born at 3am last night!".
Wilson writes in defence of tracking for various reasons but I think misses a glaring one entirely. We are passed the point where the US can pass sweeping laws regarding Internet behavior. There are other comapnies that fall outside the jurisdiction of US law. A law which limits the abilities of companies to innovate would just put them at a disadvantage to their foreign peers.

Now, I'm not saying that the Internet should be a free for all. Rather, potential laws need to account for the low barrier of foreign entities to attract customers in any part of the world they happen to live in. The Internet does not stop at JFK and submit itself to screening by the TSA.

I'm tired of these posts.

I'm tired of an industry where it's assumed that using technical tools is the skill, rather than understanding and applying technical concepts.

I'm tired of "I'm a .NET developer" or "I'm a python developer". I want a world where we're not tied to a particular framework, where people hire expert technologists and business analysts regardless of what framework they used at their last job. Where managers truly value people and interactions over tools and process.

The inhumanity and subsequent waste of it all is really piling up, and theses posts only reinforce the ignorant and shallow perception that the tools make the professional.

Haha, funny. I wonder why US and UK publications publish this topic over and over.

There is zero chance that Germany will go back to the Mark.

Ireland and Greece are tiny countries. Their problems are totally blown out of proportion. Germany has a GDP of around 2.5 Trillion Euro. The EU has a GDP of 12 Trillion Euro. Ireland has a GDP of around 160 Billion.

The Euro being under pressure? How is that bad news for Germany's export oriented economy? It is not.

Second, the countries like Greece and Ireland under pressure? That's also great for the greater EU. It makes everyone aware that changes in economic policy are needed. Up until now in many areas the EU and Eurozone countries have different economic policies that are not really adjusted to each other. There is now some chance that this will change.

The internal problems in Europe have been caused by a few factors:

* the banking system took a lot of risks and also invented fancy new products (aka ponzi schemes)

* bubbles in a few countries, especially the housing bubble in the UK, Ireland, ...

* budget deficits for example in Greece, UK, ...

The financial crisis has exposed these problems. Giving up the Euro does not solve any of these problems.

The single currency market of the Eurozone has been given such a boost to the economy that very few people would be willing to give that up. The only real question that is worth discussion is how to repair the broken parts.

All other speculation in this area is wishful thinking and market manipulation from people who want to profit from the manipulations.
The World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research published a report linking diet to cancer. http://www.dietandcancerreport.org/pr/?d=overview Unfortunately, I can't find the details easily accessible online, but there is a nice summary in the book Becoming Vegan. The basic findings were that increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables tended to prevent cancer and eating more meat tended to increase certain kinds of cancer. More specifically, they were able to link meat-eating to increased risk of breast, colon, prostate and pancreas cancer.

I'm also under the impression that the typical American's diet is out of balance--eating too much meat and not enough fresh fruits and vegetables. The protein myth could encourage people to add more meat to their diet when they may need to cut back.

Dear Amazon EC2 Customer,

We're excited to let you know that as of today, all Amazon EC2 instances come with free Basic Monitoring metrics from our Monitoring service, Amazon CloudWatch. You don't need to do anything to make this happen. It's there for you to use. Simply sign in to the AWS Management Console and select one of your active instances. You will immediately be able to view graphs and track performance on metrics such as CPU utilization, disk reads and writes, and network traffic.

Basic Monitoring for Amazon EC2 provides metric data on instance performance at five-minute frequency. Customers can optionally choose to enable Detailed Monitoring, which provides metric data at one-minute frequency for an additional $0.015 per instance-hour.

In addition, starting today you can now set alarms for any metric that Amazon CloudWatch monitors. You can configure these alarms via API call to send notifications or initiate Auto Scaling actions when metrics cross certain thresholds. Alarm pricing starts at $0.10 per alarm per month.

All the features mentioned above are available immediately in all regions (US-N. Virginia, US-N. California, EU-Ireland, APAC-Singapore), and we invite you to try them today! Learn more about Amazon CloudWatch at: aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch.
