  1. Re: As a senior RoR developer of 7 years on Is Ruby On Rails Losing Steam? · · Score: 1

    I think you misunderstand my statement. I spend the most TIME writing in js/coffee (angular.js in particular). RoR is still the backend, but it's serving more as a thin API layer to backend data services. I also probably spend less time writing Ruby code because of better engineering which can be attributed to the language's elegance.

  2. As a senior RoR developer of 7 years on Is Ruby On Rails Losing Steam? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I spend more of my time writing javascript/coffeescript than Ruby.

    If you had read and then comprehended the very first paragraph, you would have quickly realized this article's target audience does not include you or anybody else here on this board.

    I'll just wait for the Mars Sample Return Project to saturate the market, thereby lowering the price.

    There, fixed that title for you /. editors

    Even better. Ever been to an airport in Mexico? I want that kind of heart-warming experience.

  8. Re:That's because on Three-Way Comparison Shows PCs Slaying Consoles In Dragon Age Inquisition · · Score: 1

    So you're saying my PC with built-in Intel 4600 graphics is better than a PS4. Great to know. Guess I won't have to get a new video card after all.

  9. Re: Here's the deal on Do Good Programmers Need Agents? · · Score: 1

    In this same vein, I find technical people to be the worst at talking to C-level people. A good recruiter can really talk you up to the right people which has pretty significant value and can effect your bottom line. Even if you're applying for a job at a company your best friend is working at, if he/she is in IT they will probably do a lousy job advocating for you.

  11. so that's how it started.... on MARS, Inc: We Are Running Out of Chocolate · · Score: 1

    First we loose the cocoa, then the sorghum and rice, lastly the corn, then humanity suffocates in the overabundance of nitrogen, oxygen deficient atmosphere.

    Laugh. Cut the dough bag a little slack. Afterall, /. is the land of speculation and pseudo-experts.

  13. Re:I'd be more worried... on Ask Slashdot: Is Non-USB Flash Direct From China Safe? · · Score: 1

    I was aware of and willing to take that risk considering the significant price difference. The positive thing with Alibaba is a 15 day dispute period. It probably won't be even worth going through the dispute process, but at least that option is available.

    If you want your Hadoop cluster to be fast and easy to use, go with Spark https://spark.apache.org/.

    Seems like you're asking for the FCC do go beyond their duties. What you're looking for is a class-action lawsuit.

    Or NASA?
    Or any place that writes database software (i.e. Oracle, pick any NoSQL company)?
    Or any place that needs people who can do weather modelling?
    Or any place that needs people who can do HPC (i.e. computational science; a little redundant from the question above)?
    Or any place that needs software "architects", not developers?

    With a Phd (not to be confused with Phb as they only get master's degrees) there's no need to slug it out in the trenches with us mere mortals who often find Knuth difficult to follow.
