evan_tech — code review is great:
“At Google, all code must be reviewed before you can check it in. This means that another engineer needs to look over your change and give it their approval. Traditionally we’ve done it via email and some wrapper scripts, but more recently people have been switching to Guido’s fancy tool.”

Managing a Standardized Build Process Outside of the Eclipse IDE — Building objects in the Eclipse IDE is simple – it’s a point-and-click solution. However, as applications built on the Eclipse platform mature the need for building outside of the IDE increases. This need can be driven by the development team that is striving to perform agile development techniques where builds are executed based on a file ‘check-in’ action into an SCM tool. The need can also be driven by IT governance where a scheduled and audited production build is required. Moving from builds managed inside of the Eclipse platform to builds managed outside of the Eclipse platform can be a big task in itself. Don’t hesitate to make this jump.

Tech Firms Push to Use TV Airwaves for Internet – washingtonpost.com:
A coalition of big technology companies wants to bring high-speed Internet access to consumers in a new way: over television airwaves. Key to the project is whether a device scheduled to be delivered to federal labs today lives up to its promise….
A big-ticket investment by three corporate heavyweights in a little-known start-up that provides Internet access over electrical lines has sparked renewed interest in a technology that’s never come close to living up to its billing.

The Developer Cheat Sheet Compilation by Fuzzy Future:
“I know personally, I’m not one of those people that can remember every detail of every language without looking things up. It’s nice to have a cheat sheet with a quick summary of some of the most commonly used procedures, tags, tools, syntax, etc, saving time that would have been used to look it up on Google or dig through documentation either online or in printed text. The following is a list of links to several different cheat sheets on a wide variety of tasks and tools. You can print them out and hang them on your wall (my personal choice) or simply bookmark them for easy access down the road. If you have any additional suggestions or see something I’ve missed, let me know…”
