I'm one of the poor guys who had to deal with Visual SourceSafe, I used to work with TFS on a daily basis, I'm using Git every day at work with a few other people, I've been using Hg for some pet projects with a friend and everybody has used Subversion.
Verifying Code by Using Coded User Interface TestsAutomated tests that drive your application through its user interface (UI) are known as coded UI tests (CUITs). These tests include functional testing of the UI controls. They let you verify that the whole application, including its user interface, is functioning correctly.
A Gentle Introduction to Algorithm Complexity AnalysisA lot of programmers that make some of the coolest and most useful software today, such as many of the stuff we see on the Internet or use daily, don't have a theoretical computer science background. They're still pretty awesome and creative programmers and we thank them for what they build.

Why Functional Matters: Your white board will never be the sameWhy learn functional programming? For better design skills! The other day we designed a process to match cleared deposits with dispensations. This is how I would have white-boarded it a few years ago: Since then I've played around with functional programming.
Code Recommenders 1.0 - Code Completion on Steroids for Eclipse JunoWith Eclipse Juno, Code Recommenders stripped off its incubation status and released v1.0.
I Am Not a CorporationOnce I started using an iPhone and the Hipstamatic app, my work flow was this: take a picture, immediately upload it to Flickr. Pick any criteria for comparing the absolute quality of the Nikon vs the iPhone, and the Nikon wins every time: sharpness, resolution, low-light ability, you name it.
default behaviorEveryone should publish something they wrote on their own – their own conception, implementation, and product. It is a completely unique, surreal feeling sending your own brainchild out into the world, seeing people use it and finally tear it to shreds.
Binary Search *eliminates* Branch MispredictionsSearching in a short, sorted vector is a fairly common task. Lots of time, data sets are just small enough that it’s quicker (and simpler) to store them in a sorted vector than to use an alternative with asymptotically faster insertions.
