Google Chrome browser shows excellent example of code reuse. I found that they use at least 25 different software libraries! Here is the full list of libraries, along with relative paths to source code and short library descriptions. Many of the libraries have been patched ...

The whole reason why you spend time streamlining, automating, and speeding up your workflow isn't to work more—it's to make time for important things computers can't do, like thinking. Professor David Levy argues, however, that our fast-paced world doesn't allow for time to think deeply, the time when we come up with our best ideas and most important insights. Levy's talk at Google last year is a cannot-miss for any lifehacker; at almost an hour ...

Who needs to learn how to read? After all, we all learned how to read fairly early in life, usually in elementary school, right? But do you know how to really read? More importantly, are you really reading? Reading can make you a better writer, as long as you’re paying attention and leaving time to actually write. But what we’re talking about here is what you say, rather than how you say it. If you ...

Sharding does destroy your relational database - which is a good thing. The idea behind sharding is to distribute data to several databases based on certain criterias. This could for example be the primary key. All entities that keys begin with 1 go to one database, with 2 to another and so on (often modulo functions on the key are used, or groups based on business data like customer location, or function). Several reasons exists ...

He explains how you can create a custom Ajax Helper that renders the necessary JavaScript. In the previous tip, I demonstrated how you can take advantage of the client file only version of the Microsoft AJAX Control Toolkit to create a popup calendar that you can use as a ...

Take Model-View-Controller as an example. It's often referred to as a pattern, but I don't find it terribly useful to think of it as a pattern because it contains quite a few different ideas. Different people reading about MVC in different places take different ideas from it and describe these as 'MVC'. If this doesn't cause enough confusion you then get the effect of misunderstandings of MVC that develop through a system of Chinese whispers. ...

Introduction Thirty hands an hour. When you're dealing a real-money game of No Limit Texas Hold'em, that's what you're shooting for. Thirty hands an hour, or roughly one hand every two minutes, like clockwork. Two minutes to wash, shuffle, cut the cards, deal them out in two concentric rings. Two minutes to gently coax a table of beer-drinking adults through four rounds of betting, keeping your sanity in the midst of two and three-way all-ins, ...
