Interview with Scott Bellware and Scott Hanselman on the Death of the Professional Speaker

Submitted by Ted Neward on Thu, 06/18/2009 - 09:40.

Well, OK, the title is trolling ever so slightly, but there is an interesting trend
at work, and I'm genuinely concerned about its ultimate expression if the trend continues
to its logical conclusion. Have
a look and tell me if you agree or disagree.

The "controversy" continues

Submitted by Ted Neward on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 18:17.

Apparently the Rails community isn't the only one pursuing that ephemeral goal of
"edginess"—another blatantly sexist presentation came off without a hitch,
this time at a Flash conference, and if anything, it was worse than the Rails/CouchDB
presentation. I excerpt a few choice tidbits from
an eyewitness here, but be warned—if you're not comfortable with language, skip
the next block paragraph.

Of Tomcat 6, native services, Windows 2008R2, and pain...

Submitted by Ted Neward on Sat, 05/23/2009 - 21:37.

So I'm putting together a Windows 2008 R2 x64 RC Java image for a client (more on
that later), and everything's breezing along fine. Install the OS, check. Install
JDK 1.6 (u13) into the machine, check. Install Tomcat 6 into the machine, running
as a native Windows service, check. Open localhost on port 8080, and... not check.
Times out, no response, not good.

"From each, according to its abilities...."

Submitted by Ted Neward on Mon, 04/20/2009 - 15:56.

Recently, NFJS alum and buddy Dion Almaer questioned the
widespread, almost default, usage of a relational database for all things storage
related:

Ian Hickson: “I expect I’ll be reverse-engineering SQLite and speccing that, if nothing
better is picked first. As it is, people are starting to use the database feature
in actual Web apps (e.g. mobile GMail, iirc).”

"Multi-core Mania": A Rebuttal

Submitted by Ted Neward on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 04:44.

The Simple-Talk newsletter is
a monthly e-zine that the folks over at Red Gate Software (makers of some pretty cool
toys, including their ANTS Profiler, and recent inheritors of the Reflector utility
legacy) produce, usually to good effect.

But this month carried
with it an interesting editorial piece, which I reproduce in its entirety here:
