@Jin I got the Apple one a short while ago. The letter was officially dated Aug 15 or so, but got here in September I think. (I think my photos of it on one of my social network stuff is has the letter.)
I was talking to Jarrod the other night about the early days of Stack Overflow. I then realized SO came out of private Beta three years ago.
What better way to celebrate this milestone than making a T-shirt for it?
I wanted to come up with a design that's interesting and regular SO users can r...
So, this morning I log on to google plus to that article about more patent trolls. This time the target is anyone with wifi. I am now almost finished writing a paper on the subject of patent trolls and technology.
You mention the point of it: 'If I patent the concept of buying patents for the sake of suing others, can I sue the trolls for trolling?' For general consumption, you would want to ensure it's obvios how each paragraph develops your conclusion (yes or no).

Every day a throng of people around the world pass through coffee shops, universities, public libraries and their homes, connected to the endless web around the world that we call the internet. They do this over their wireless connections; using wi-fi in all its various incantations. But this could be taken away from them if the braintrust behind Innovatio IP has their way.
They seek to take away the privilege to connect over wi-fi without paying them a royalty, because they hold a patent they say is key to the process of using wi-fi. Which means that you're going to have to go back t…
@Moshe see the above as an intro that tries to grab the reader, based on your article
I'm not really behind it tho, so .. you have my apologies. I generally have spent more than 25 minutes reading on a topic before writing about it
Well, this was a link in chrome app. So, it opened a tab in the last chrome window I had active. It makes sense, except that I had minimized that window.
I just wish I'd have more options for how they are open, like Firefox.
Even the inventor of the language, James Gosling, agrees that Java is not an interesting language. He created it mainly to test the concept of Virtual Machines, not with the goal of making a novel language for people to learn.

Since the author of Dive into Python and Dive into HTML5 has apparently quit the Internet, we're going to need to clean up all of the Stack Overflow posts that link to these fine works.

Part of my software is using reflection. The issue I am having is that while I can get the type of the property, I cannot convert the string value using the Type from the PropertyInfo. This is the reason why i am using t in the sample code.
The below code demonstrates the issue with the error me...
Today I was trying to wrap my head around immutable objects that reference each other. I came to the conclusion that you can't possibly do that without using lazy evaluation but in the process I wrote this (in my opinion) interesting code.

public string Name { get; private s...
Is there somewhere within the internet that I can find an accurate and up to date tutorial that I can read?
It seems that every tutorial I find is either out of date, scrambled together in a hodge podge of mess pulled together from 20 different blogs or assumes you you are simply migrating from...
in Re: the Joel Test and "Can you make a build in one step?" do you think that means "an installer" or just "the finished product as it is expected to be used"?
i.e.: Downloads any changes to the branch from svn, Disables the production site, runs any new db scripts, builds the app, copies the files to the production IIS instance, then re-enables the p.roduction site. Not necessarily in that order.
And I gotta say, when I broke SEDE last night, and was writing and rolling out new code at 5am, testing my own code is a bit hairy, if I had had to do anything other than "1) press button", I don't think my brain could have handled it right then. q:
Right now it consists of: 1. Build binaries. 2. Copy changed binaries only to FTP. 3. Rename binaries being replaced on target server. 4. Run SQL scripts manually.
I should actually modify that to be post-build-server-CI because we maintain side-by-side repos for the stable branch, so to get a build you first push things to stable, then you can force the build if you want or wait ten minutes (no web-hooks yet)

Can we add a banner on Apple.SE in memory of Steve Jobs? RIP.
