"Washington Post education columnist Jay Mathews penned a column recently about for-profit colleges—but it reads like he probably didn't want to. Salon's Alex Pareene, for example, characterized it as a “sad defense” of the for-profit industry." - russomi from Bookmarklet

"As part of my review of his book, Change.edu: Rebooting for the new talent economy, I had the opportunity to interview Andrew Rosen via email. Change.edu asks some very tough questions and challenges a lot of assumptions, so I wanted to get his perspectives on some of the key themes in the book as well as the questions that those in traditional academic settings will invariably ask as we explore new models for higher education. I’ve also embedded a video at the end of this post that Rosen produced, talking about the book. Talk back below and let me know what you think about where we’re headed in higher education." - russomi from Bookmarklet

"Summary: Change.edu: Rebooting for the new talent economy is one of the best books I’ve read on the changing face of education (and the unfortunate turns that our higher education system continues to take)." - russomi from Bookmarklet

"Anyways, here are the answers to your specific questions. None of them require IISRESET, and many take effect immediately: On IIS6, web.config is an ASP.Net concept totally unrelated to IIS. Any change in the web.config file triggers a reload of the AppDomain, so settings from the web.config take effect immediately. No iisreset/recycle required. Changing IIS Virtual Directory settings take effect immediately, no iisreset/recycle required. Updating DLL files in the ASP.Net /bin directory trigger a reload of the AppDomain so changes take effect immediately. Updating ISAPI DLL files is a little more complicated, as described in this blog entry, and require a recycle of the application pool. Updating ASPX files trigger a recompilation and reload of the AppDomain so changes take effect immediately. No iisreset/recycle required." - russomi from Bookmarklet

"Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly. This article is a quick overview of Continuous Integration summarizing the technique and its current usage." - russomi from Bookmarklet

"For the last four years ThoughtWorks has operated a lab in Bangalore India to support our software development projects in North America and Europe. Traditional approaches to offshore development are based on plan-driven methodologies, but we are very firmly in the agile camp. Here I discuss our experiences and lessons learned in doing offshore agile development. So far we've discovered that we can make it work, although the benefits are still open to debate. (Although this article was last updated in 2006, I our visited our offshore work in 2011 and found the lessons to still be relevant and thus the article did not need a further significant revision.)" - russomi from Bookmarklet

"Debugger Canvas is a new user experience for the debugger in Visual Studio Ultimate. It pulls together the code you’re exploring onto a single pan-and-zoom display. As you hit breakpoints or step into code, Debugger Canvas shows just the methods that you’re debugging, with call lines and local variables, to help you see the bigger picture." - russomi from Bookmarklet

""Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important," he said. "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." He continued: "No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent."" - russomi from Bookmarklet

"The white paper describes load strategies for achieving high-speed data modifications of a Microsoft® SQL Server® database. Before we get into the details of the bulk load methods, we will provide some background information on “minimal logging” in general. The next two sections: “Bulk Load Methods” and “Other Minimally Logged and Metadata Operations” provide an overview of two key and interrelated concepts for high-speed data loading: bulk loading and metadata operations. After this background knowledge, we describe how these methods can be used to solve customer scenarios. Script examples illustrating common design pattern are found in “Solving Typical Scenarios with Bulk Loading” Special consideration must be taken when you need to load and read data concurrently in the same table. The section “Bulk Load, NOLOCK Queries, and Read Committed Snapshot Isolation” describes methods you can use to achieve concurrent loading and reading. This white paper concludes with troubleshooting hints in “Optimizing Bulk Load”." - russomi from Bookmarklet
