How do you determine how far to normalize a database?
When creating a database structure, what are good guidelines to follow or good ways to determine how far a database should be normalized? Should you create an un-normalized database and split it apart as the project progresses? Should you create it fully normalized and combine tables as needed for performance?

What are some advantages of duck-typing vs. static typing?
I'm researching and experimenting more with Groovy and I'm trying to wrap my mind around the pros and cons of implementing things in Groovy that I can't/don't do in Java. Agile/Dynamic programming is still just a concept to me since I've been deeply steeped static and strongly typed languages. Groovy gives me the...

Is it possible to develop DirectX apps in Linux?
More out of interest than anything else, but can you compile a DirectX app under linux? Obviously there's no official SDK, but I was thinking it might be possible with wine. Presumably wine has an implementation of the DirectX interface in order to run games? Is it possible to link against that? Failing that, ...

Deciphering C++ template error messages
I'm really beginning to understand what people mean when they say that C++'s error messages are pretty terrible in regards to templates. I've seen horrendously long errors for things as simple as a function not matching its prototype. Are there any tricks to deciphering these errors?
