So this says to me that global catastrophe is 20% less likely than it used to be, since they've moved it from 5 to 6 minutes... but still 14% more likely than when it was 7 minutes in 1947. How do they get such numbers? Seems like huge jumps in probability. I think they need a 'seconds' hand.
A language like this will allow management types to do their own prototyping. This could mean less hassle for programmers, as the manager can flesh out a working prototype t use as a model for production apps.
I've found it's useful to put any env-specific properties in external properties files, and then make a copy for each env. On each environment, there's a one-time exercise of creating symbolic links to point to the appropriate files.
e.g.
ln -s db.properties.dev db.properties
ln -s server.properties.dev server.properties...
A friend's son was a huge fan of building a large park with no exits and some cool attractions. Once the park was filled, and the customers had no way to exit, he would turn a tiger loose in the park. The carnage was fun to watch. Bodies would be flying through the air after being shaken silly by the tiger, people would be screaming.... I was amazed that they'd built such things into the game.
I came to this decision a long time ago, after coworkers were harassed by customers outside of work. What's it like to have a customer who is dissatisfied with the company you work for, calling you at home; showing up at your house; sending threatening letters; making threatening phone calls? These were all because that company didn't live up to that particular customer's expectations. That wasn't a gray-market company. The product and services were clearly outlined, and provided in accordance to that.
Interestingly, on the day that the CDC decided it was possible to craft a vaccine, these guys issued a press release saying they have one ready for testing...
Anyone exhibiting symptoms is being referred to an isolation room
where they can be evaluated by a public health official before
proceeding to their destruction.
Isn't it dynamic functionality when CSS classes are invoked to change the appearance of something on rollover, or differentiate between links that have been visited and those that haven't? One might argue that creating the CSS styles for such things is essentially event-driven programming (e.g. the "a:hover" event).
I know it's not what I'd normally consider "programming", but it's not just layout either.
Diabetes/stem-cell research is still ongoing and in its early stages, but it is showing promise. As shown on the Mount Sinai Hospital news release, the research was actually partly funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (United States) - so they must believe there's some promise there...
What scares me about your question is that it is driven from above,
The main rationale is that people can be relocated from one group / project to another faster, because they don't need to learn a new environment when they switch.
Developers are not plug-compatible interchangeable parts that can be slotted in and out of various projects according to shifting needs.
The statement here could also be read as "people can be ALLOWED to relocate from one group / project...". Perhaps management is actually trying to HELP the developers - not just treating them as cogs. Sometimes management isn't really as clueless and detached as we think.
Of course, I don't believe this either, but I'm on vacation right now, and it's nice to think happy thoughts... Now back to cloud-watching....
I've been working on a similar idea for a while, but mine features a nose-operated touchscreen above the urinal. I suppose the sensors in the bowl is a more hygienic idea....
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah. It really is an interesting idea....

I was hoping this guy had added new features to his suits...
These guys have had The Urinal Game online for over a decade. And there are still a LOT of guys out there with no concept of Mens Room Etiquette.

RCA has one at CES.

Then just use the links in the app code.

I believe the title was Amusement Park Tycoon.
FYI: They're a registered charity in Canada.
If you're not using the space, how about setting up a honeypot there to help make the world a better place?
The blank page with the Easter Egg is even better.
So... JWSmythe, what kind of porn was it that had the customers harassing you so...

Never mind... They fixed the typo....
It's good to see the DHS is being proactive...
About halfway down the page:

YIKES!
This could revolutionize the hair gel industry. Think of it... oscillating, dynamically waving hair!
I personally really related to these, as I'm a software guy with a Mechanical Engineering degree...
Just for the sake of argument....

I bet the acronym looks great on your business card.
Where I work, we pick our own job titles... The 2 guys who do such work picked "Aesthetic Programmer" and "Code Monkey" for their business cards.

Ummm... Am I to believe they used a Fortran to PHP converter?

Somebody has to port the FAH app to new platforms... Sounds like you're the obvious choice!

** SIGH **
Back to the drawing board...
