The modern calendar is full of historical quirks and politics and for the most part, has no sense of consistency. Weeks and most months have a prime-number of days, which means simple phrases like “half a month” or “half a week” are ambiguous. The day rollover occurs at midnight, a time that many people are still awake. Daylight savings is no longer as important as it was when it was created and causes more confusion than convenience. The calendar also has no correlation with seasons, something we culturally force it to do, and sometimes incorrectly like associating December with winter, for example. Most of December is in Autumn in the northern hemisphere while in the southern hemisphere, December is spring and summer. - Blake O’Hare

The problem may not be that these programmers can’t program. It’s that they can’t read! I think reading comprehension must be at an all-time low among graduating programmers. Perhaps it’s time to bring back more word problems in our curriculum. Of course we’ve all seen this lack of reading comprehension in comments to our blog posts, haven’t we? As in when someone completely argues against a misinterpretation of your post. - Phil Haack

Many frameworks may look very appealing at first glance because they seem to reduce web application development to a couple of trivial steps leading to some code generation and often automatic schema detection, but these same shortcuts are likely to be your bottlenecks as well since they achieve this simplicity by sacrifizing flexibility and performance. Nothing is going to build your application for you, no matter what it promises. You are going to have to build it yourself. Instead of starting by fixing the mistakes in some foreign framework and refactoring all the things that don’t apply to your environment spend your time building a lean and reusable pattern that fits your requirements directly. - Rasmus Lerdorf

get somebody who actually uses this stuff like a handbook while writing code to fix it or shoot somebody. - Mike Howard

I’ve heard, converting audio to txt files and then printing them is the best way to preserve it for many centuries. Although it depends on ink and paper quality, with the right combination of both you can even reach the millenium mark. But sorry, I can’t back up my claims as for now, my tests on this subject are still in progress and worthy results are pending. - Fandango

I don’t want my credit card company to know that I bought a bankruptcy book. I don’t want potential landlords to know that I read lots of articles about caring for Boa Constrictors. I don’t want potential employers to know that I read web sites about homemade bombs. They’ll probably take it the wrong way. - Joel Spolsky

Don’t try to backup the Internet, because you’ll run out of disk space! - Gina Trapani

You already know that prefixing a command with sudo makes your system execute it with superuser privileges. But when you forget to sudo, the !! or “bang bang” comes to the rescue. When you’ve perfectly crafted a long command that does exactly what you need, hit Enter, and d’oh - you don’t have sufficient access privileges - you can sudo !! to repeat the last command with superuser privileges. It’s the ultimate nerd triumph: “Oh, you didn’t like that command? Well, then sudo !! - Kevin Purdy

Put the lagarith.dll file you downloaded in the Premiere folder. That should get it working for you. - thunderclap82

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal,’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,’ and ‘Thou Shall Not Lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment. - unknown

Almost two months ago, I decided that I wanted to try working standing up, rather than sitting down. When sitting in my comfortable, reclining office chair, my posture was terrible, my attention span was narrowing rapidly, and I was constantly battling fatigue. After looking around online a bit, it sounded like standing was the way to go. So I propped my keyboard and mouse up on a few encyclopedias and gave it a go. The first week was rough on my feet and legs, which ached constantly. I kept a bar stool handy for resting periodically on, but I really tried to stand at least 80% of the time. After that first week, though, things improved rapidly. My attention span improved, too. I noticed an immediate increase in my ability to focus on a problem for longer, and with greater clarity. When I was blocked by some problem, I was able to just walk away from the desk, whereas before the effort of getting up from my chair often made me prefer to just sit and stew in my frustration. - Jamis

In this store all the LCD’s were lined up along the back wall, playing the same video feed in twenty different shades of the same colour. Tiny, half-legible labels on the metal shelving conveyed the barest of specifications, and the staff weren’t presenting themselves as especially informed. - M. Page
