An idea that's guaranteed to take off. I think the buzz is definitely justified.

Stressing over your upcoming presentation where you have to type a bunch of code from memory or from a script? AutoHotKey can help you automate much of the “writing” of the code so you can write demos on the fly. AutoHotKey does so much more, but for a quick and simple way to write demos on the fly, it really is top-notch. If only all coding were as easy as this script.

“Slipping” or missing the intended completion or milestone date of software projects is as old as software itself. There’s a rich history of our industry tracking intended v. actual ship dates and speculating as to the length of the slip and the cause. Even with all this history, slipping is a complex and nuanced topic worth a bit of discussion about slipping as an engineering concept. Missed it by *that* much.

In the semiconductor world, integration is omnipresent, driven by Moore’s Law. Integration reduces power and cost while increasing performance. The latest realization of this trend is the System-on-a-Chip (SoC) approach pervasive among PCs, tablets, and smartphones. And the latest SoC is Haswell. Haswell is the first new family of SoCs from Intel to target the 22nm FinFET process, which uses a non-planar transistor that wraps around the gate on three sides. While Ivy Bridge was the first family of 22nm products, it was not fully optimized for the 22nm process. The CPU was a shrink of the 32nm Sandy Bridge rather than a new design. Optimized for a mobile future... finally.

If you want to know the most in-demand tech skills, that info is readily available. Want to learn the programming skills most coveted by employers? Done. But what are the skills and specialties that no one wants any more? What core competencies raise red flags instead of call backs? The only solution is to keep learning - and keep showing that you can learn.

Software Support and PC Support are on the list?
I'm calling BS on that. The mighty cloud might be nice and shiny but every large office I know of still relies heavily on their PCs and desktop software.

Agreed, unfortunately there are a lot of idiots who spout idiotic things on the internet.

As is QA.
The smart phone and mobile market exploded, which is a different economy. Now, recruiter looks at his percentages and sees something. Some recruiters might want to reevaluate why we still feed people like them.
FWIW, the Austin Post article cited sounds quite different:
“[Employers] want people who are coding outside of work or committing to open source projects. Saying you’re ‘updating your skills’ means you’re working towards the goal of making money. That may be your goal, but employers don’t want to hear that. They want to hear you’re coding all the time because you love what you do.”

At Box, we’re very interested in the quality of our code, which is why we’re constantly evaluating our processes to figure out how we can do better. We even have a team of Code Reliability Engineers (CREs) that help others write better code and provide training both internally and externally. Recently, we’ve turned a critical eye towards code reviews and have been implementing a new process called code workshops. Code reviews are often terrible experiences. This idea may make them better.

The 2013 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory Management Summit was held April 18 and 19 in San Francisco, California, immediately after the Linux Foundation's Collaboration Summit. This page will gather the coverage of this event, which was split into three separate tracks. The latest Linux discussions, all gathered in one place.

In NoSQL: Past, Present, Future Eric Brewer has a particularly fine section on explaining the often hard to understand ideas of BASE (Basically Available, Soft State, Eventually Consistent), ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability), CAP (Consistency Availability, Partition Tolerance), in terms of a pernicious long standing myth about the sanctity of consistency in banking. Myth: Money is important, so banks must use transactions to keep money safe and consistent, right? When availability is more important than consistency.

Google Glass isn’t available yet. Even so, the technopanic it’s inspiring is rising to full swivet. But I say there’s no need to panic. We’ll figure it out, just as we have with many technologies — from camera to cameraphone — that came before. Remembering the "witch instrument" and "Kodak fiends" of a previous tech revolution.

Computer science is an interesting discipline. Often, I find myself inadequately trying to communicate why I find it so fascinating. I think I get the closest when describing computer science things that ‘blow my mind’. This post is... basically just a list of computer science things I think are cool. Neat stuff, from logic gates to unfathomable programs.

Any guesses why netninny is blocking this? Normally it gives an excuse about why it decided to make me wait until I got home to read an article but this one just came up access denied.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
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?

I was going to suggest maybe because it's a Canadian company, but... er...
No idea why you'd get a warning. I don't see anything obviously objectionable. It's a Unity3D consultancy.

Consultancy for an engine used to write games, playing games in the office; not much of a difference there. Especially since some my coworkers have used off the shelf 3d game engines for VR type applications.

Why is Facebook blue? According to The New Yorker, the reason is simple. It’s because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind. This means that blue is the color Mark can see the best. In his own words Zuck says: “Blue is the richest color for me I can see all of blue.” Not highly scientific right? Well, although in the case of Facebook, that isn’t the case, there are some amazing examples of how colors actually affect our purchasing decisions. All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who browse are lost...

In this installment we talk to Oren Eini, perhaps best known for his work on RavenDB. You may know him as Ayende Rahien.

|

What's the news?
He states so in the first line of the interview
Quote: My name in Oren Eini, I am also known under the nickname Ayende Rahien for reasons that are too long to detail here.
Never underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of others.
