And here I was thinking that Jabba was a caricature of American politicians - fat, stupid, lazy, ready to kill on a whim, and unable to speak anything but nonsensical gibberish.
I would take it differently. Jabba was incredibly intelligent, fat, lazy and ruthless. You don't come to control a major criminal element without being intelligent.
This is a really strange article. MVC vs. JSP / static content is not apples to apples, like the first test was.
When you return a view, it isn't static content. Making a call to a controller is also not the same as serving up an HTML page - the controller is instantiated, the action is invoked, and depending on the type of action, a model could be instantiated and bound. It isn't like creating a simple ASP.NET page that has "Response.Write" in the page load, since the ASP.NET page itself is much closer to what a JSP page is.
There isn't really a circumstance for static HTML in ASP.NET, since it all gets rolled into a Response.Write method in the end. I imagine a JSP page does the same thing, and on both ends, the resulting HTML gets cached. This would be the "optimization" he's witnessing from Tomcat. ASP.NET does the same thing.
You'd have to do some stuff in Java to get to the MVC level of complexity, and not just use Tomcat. Vanilla ASP.NET is a more appropriate tool for comparison. As noted in an above comment, you'd probably have to compare ASP.NET MVC to Spring.
Hell, classic ASP performs better than ASP.NET MVC.
The regulation we applied to capitalism made higher standard of living for a population.
You might want to actually read up on capitalists.
"Tax payer money was wasted by loaning it to a business nobody else would touch."
while true with studio 38, usually that isn't true.
In fact, a lot of case it as helped. but success in government isn't really reported. You know why? it's not unusual.
I think the argument is more one of "should government be investing in not-for-public-use private entities?" rather than one of regulation. Regulation is setting boundaries for capitalism to live within - it's generally a good thing. Government investment in the private sector, however, is something that needs to be monitored. It makes sense when investing in private companies to the end of the public good (military spending, roads, "utilities"), but that's about it.
Company A supplies Company B with chips for Company B's products.
Company A decides the money made off supplying parts is not enough and decides to compete with Company B directly by supplying products with very similar designs to Company B.
Company B files suit against Company A for infringement.
Company A insists they're fine, but doesn't realize a good chunk of business still comes from Company B
Company B does the logical thing and divorces all business from Company A.
Samsung is not a victim, here. This is the logical conclusion of bad business done by Samsung. They could have done it differently, and coexisted with Apple. Now, they reap their reward. I don't really understand why this is so hard for the Android fanbois to understand.
You've just suggested that an individual company be allowed to restrict the ability of some users to post whatever they want. Cue screams involving the first amendment and a/. article phrased as a question.
The first amendment doesn't apply to a company's ability to censor content on a site they own.
If you don't know this, perhaps it says more about *your* ignorance of the law.
FTFY. It's not a language issue, it's a law issue. "Evasion" has a connotation within the boundaries of US law, whereas "Avoidance" does not. They mean the same exact thing, however.
Well, to be fair, after a short google expedition, America does seems to be an accepted name for the United States of America, but it is so ONLY in the United States of America.
This isn't really true. When you say that you're an "American" to nearly anyone in the world, the valid assumption they make is that you're from the USA. It only follows that an "American" would be from "America," being the USA.
I assure you that neither of those things has EVER come up in a job interview.
But they have in the salary planning. They know what they're getting, and pay accordingly.
Perhaps in larger or.gov shops, but certainly not in the small shops I have experience with.
They show up in determining whether to consider a candidate for an interview. Many places will not interview someone with short experience and an associate's. I've been on the interviewing end of that equation.
I'm a 40-year-old developer, and it's become apparent that my.NET skillset is woefully out of date after five years of doing various bits of support.
I'm sorry. Honestly, I really am sorry. I don't like that framework, I don't like that language. Also when I was growing up it was largely a "pay to play" realm and largely still is (although I know I can get my hands on an express IDE).
This really is less than helpful, albeit typical for the longer-run members in this community. It's.NET, pay-to-play, and therefore irrelevant. That, in truth, is political garbage.
To answer more fully - age is irrelevant. If you desire to pick up the variations between.NET 2.0 and 4.0, just put in the time necessary to practice some of the newer things. You could also pick up C#, though it isn't absolutely necessary, because the positions open on the market lean more heavily toward C# than VB.NET. It's primarily syntactical sugar, you'll find, but some of the newer things are performed a little more easily in C# than VB. Some of the more exciting aspects of.NET lie in the direction of F#, too, which is pretty easy to experiment with (and fully supported by Mono/Monodevelop).
On top of this, why were people drinking so much coffee? Because they were working long days? Staying up late? Other activities that can lead to eye strain?
Sorry but this sounds like correlation rather than causation.
While a decent point, I'm pretty sure coffee is very much a cultural thing for those up near the arctic circle. It might have something to do with the lack of sunlight, so compensation is made with caffeine.
Having seen fully-US-government-run healthcare up close and personal? Let's just say that no matter how good Canada or the UK does it, I know full well that here in the US, we'll just fuck it up, and to the detriment of anyone who will have to suffer under it.
It's not very good in Canada or the UK, even though you get a pile of Canadians and English spouting how great gov't healthcare is. That is the problem when bureaucracy is introduced to healthcare. Everyone gets crappy care that is free.
You should never, never, never, ever use a production release as a beta test.
Tell that to Blizzard, Bethesda, Rockstar, Google, Microsoft (all OS versions before first or second svc pack), Apple...
Sure, it's ideal to catch everything, but it's ultimately unrealistic. There's also the issue of software vs. data. In Apple's maps' case, it's the data that's problematic. The software implementation seems to be solid.
Mod parent up! Apple may have money to throw at this issue, but they do NOT have the time. They might have if they have developed this for a few more years in secret, but now that it's out, they're boned.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've read today. The issues present in the maps app are hyped up only in a very small community - and given the alternative apps, the "time" issue is irrelevant. Apple isn't in any danger over their flawed maps app.
Yet Apple's response was not to approach alternative mappers like Mapquest, Bing Maps, Garmin, etc. They're response was to build their own.
"Not Invented Here Syndrome" is a pretty prominent anti-pattern.
This is pretty inaccurate. They bought some geospatial companies and made some modifications to their products. This is essentially what Google has done for over ten years.
It's an article about a sociopath, who just happened to be an attractive female. The story, American Psycho, is no more sexist than this particular anecdote, only it happens to be about an attractive male sociopath.
Your reaction makes a fair number of assumptions about the aim of the article. All it's trying to say, is don't get too mixed up with pretty people at the work place before you get to know them. That pretty much goes for men AND women alike. I think the workplace modifier is there because it's your place of employment - it makes things far more complicated than the equivalent mistake being made between visitors at a bar.
That's a factor of less than 4, but considering that Samsung has a presence in so many more markets, this is not a special statistic. If anything, it shows that Apple, within one market, manages to be 25% of the size of Samsung, across all markets.
SCOTUS ruled it as an unconstitutional violation of the presentment clause.
The unconstitutional portion was the line-item veto, which is to say, the bill that passes the House has to be the same as the bill that passes the Senate, which has to be the same that is signed by the president. There is nothing that would be illegal about curbing the amendments as they are assembled within whichever sourcing portion of congress they originate in. The presentment would then be preserved across House, Senate, and Executive.

As for cost of living... I'm at the Boulder, Colorado office (which is hiring, BTW :-)).
Sadly, I'm used to my 5 minute commute from Highlands Ranch. Boulder is pricey too, but I guess if you live in Broomfield, it's cheap.

"Market Share" can mean one of many things, including installed base.
Scratch that. It'll run in castrated mode in DX 9, I guess.
