Mass Effect series was a weird one for me. Each game had its flaws, and each game fixed some of those flaws, but then introduced a ton of new ones.

There's an excellent breakdown for each on gamedesignreviews.com

A good article posted on the other thread by another user:

The most concise and clearest explanation I've read, also written before the result.

"Today it’s easy to record streamed music from the analog headphone jack on the phone, and even to convert the stream back to digital and transmit it in real time to someone else."

Is this really that common nowadays?

Personally I think the move is more of a way of selling Apple/Beats headphones than any DRM/Anti-piracy stuff.

I don't have much experience with the job market north of the border, but I'd say your situation would be atypical. I'm outside of London and have seen what you've described but the reality is that there is a shortage of people with the skills you've described in that theoretical role. I'd advise you line up 4-5 interviews and just go and see how they work out. With 7 years experience I'd expect you to be able to walk into a lot of positions without fuss which pay much much more than £19k.

I'm pretty sure I've read all his autobiographies and can't remember any reference to 'warmed milk' or bread, and Google is showing a blank too. Which book was this in and in what context?

Depends on where the server you're running the test on is. Speedtest.net hunts out the fastest one, maybe Opensignal has less servers/slower servers?

Updated to include Symfony2:

I keep getting endorsed for jQuery. I keep being reminded of this: http://www.doxdesk.com/img/updates/20091116-so-large.gif

Code local, merge working branch into dev/master on github, deploy to dev/prod using deployhq.

I make a deploy whenever I deem a feature to be complete, rather than just basing it on line count.

Exactly this, I thought "torrents in the browser in a js app? Sounds good!" , but itlooks like its a clunky web interface (that you need to install) for a headless torrent client (that you need to install).

I read Jeff's article and the comments here with interest. My only experience with an ORM is Doctrine2 (about 2.5 years) , and I've never really hit any issues. Whenever I've needed to duck out using the ORM in an edge case, its only been a few lines of code and very undisruptive.

In a recent project I manually mapped a large sprawling ancient schema manually using Doctrine2, and still never hit any major blockers. The code just abstracts away over the cracks.

Does anyone have any real world example articles on where an ORM has totally failed, and why?
