For senior developers in Paris the median may be around 50-60, (most of software engineer jobs are in consultancies) but there are tech companies that pay up to twice as much . I know mine does, and is looking for…
I wish I had coined the term, but it's taken from an actual comment: http://www.amazon.com/review/RDZBBO2Q4MI6V/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm... The 1-star reviews roughly fall in three categories: - This is not how proper projects…
The guilt and shame is so spot on. Living though such projects illustrated so well the "the beatings will continue until morale improves" project management school of thoughts. This school has its agile proponents too,…
Don't know about the formalization by Royce, but I've witnessed and suffered waterfall in practice - let's call it ad-hoc waterfall if you will - and it was no urban legend. And on moonless nights I still wake up…
When dealing with this general problem, the proper tool would more likely be language/culture detection + Named-Entity Recognition. Simple regular expressions can be good enough if you're aware of the domain restriction…
I'm gonna be That Other Guy and say that the date and phone regex are respectively english-language and US specific. So it's common for a narrow definition of common.
Old Man's War is an ironical counterpoint to Starship Troopers (something that becomes more blatant in the later novels). It's a bit like Hadelman's Forever War mixed with slapstick. It's no masterpiece, but the humor…
I love Verhoeven and the long running joke he played at the expense of Hollywood (mostly with Starship Troopers, Robocop, Basic Instinct and Showgirls - Flesh + Blood is great but not as sarcastic as his later american…
In terms of threading, Ruby and Python are in the same, sad, GIL boat. The speed issue is the same, but the C libraries alleviate this somewhat (Numpy, scikit-learn and lxml come to mind). Tail recursion is really…

Well, there you are: a nice explanation of HyperLogLog, along with graphs, and a javascript demo to play with. And a tribute to Philippe Flajolet who came up with the algorithm.…
The main article, though nice formally doesn't say anything new about subcultures and the alleged end of big C Culture - my main gripe with it being it generalizes from cultural microcosms. The Appendix (which takes the…

I'm surprised you're being surprised, since that post is pretty much on par with everything from svbtle which gets submitted here: preppy energetical pieces, self serving straight-from-the-heart musings on how hard it…
Cliff's notes: Like pretty much everyone else in that space, I use all the iOS devices and a mac osx desktop. And my company's app. My nugget of wisdom: nerds don't get laid.
and I don't know about .NET 4.5, but .NET 4 was not optimizing tail-calls on 64-bits Windows. Actually there's a .tail CLI Opcode in .NET for tail call optimization which is not usually emitted, but the JIT does tail…
Well, being French and all, I beg to differ: "une lande désolée" can be translated as "a desolated moor". But it's a bit quaint, and yes, désolée usually means sorry (feminine form).
"désolée" also means..."desolated" or "forlorn" when refering to a place instead of a person.
I don't understand. Are you saying that map, filter, reduce and al. on lazy sequences in functional languages are inferior to loops, or that Python list comprehensions and generators are inferior to loops? That's…
Should be called "the sociopath handbook" then.
"A couple hundred grand" is what a freelancer who charges well makes in a year.

France Telecom basically did that to some of its employees too when it muted from monopoly to oligopoly. It led to a surge in suicides.
