I don’t know how I’ve missed him; he’s just never popped up on my radar screen–until just a couple of days ago when my wife showed me this YouTube video. Taylor Mali is not just a poet, he’s a full-time, WORKING poet, which I had thought was a bit of an oxymoron, to say the least. More important, he’s a major force in the poetry slam movement (a movement that’s generated some controversy–as any interesting one does), and a past-president of PSI.

When I started working on Bugzilla in 2004, it was a difficult time for the whole project. There were tremendous problems with the code, we hadn’t gotten a major release out in two years, and a lot of the main developers had left to go do paid work. But eventually, thanks to a bunch of new members in the Bugzilla community, we released Bugzilla 2.18.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

SJSON : JSON Serialization for Scala Objects has just been published on the Github. It uses the awesome dispatch-json of Nathan Hamblen as the base JSON processor. Here's the idea. I have a Scala object as. val addr = Address ( "Market Street" , "San Francisco" , "956871" ) which I would like to store as JSON and retrieve as plain old Scala object.

By going in pursuit of scale, we’ve created an IT function that is “too big to fail” in many businesses. Companies depend on IT – many can’t operate without it – yet they don’t really understand it. The result is moral hazard. Moral hazard is the proverbial “heads I win, tails you lose” scenario: a person takes boneheaded risks knowing that if they turn sour, somebody will come to their financial rescue.

The attitude that every engineer should have, in every field of engineering, is: I can solve this problem the right way. Whatever the problem is, there’s always a right way to solve it. The right way can be known, and it can be implemented. The only valid reason ever to not implement something the right way is lack of resources. However, you should always consider that the right way does exist, you are able to solve the problem the right way, and that given enough resources, you would solv

There have been quite a few murmers in the web sphere today regarding the ways Java programming paradigms have changed since its inception in the late 90s. A clear mandate and recommendation towards immutable abstractions, DSL like interfaces, actor based concurrency models indicate a positive movement towards a trend that nicely aligns with all the language research that has been going on in the community since quite some time.

That sucks pretty bad. You get 100 complaints a week about the UI of a particular page–okay, so that sucks.
