Excuse me? In the past 9 months we've seen: - Mt Gox, one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges, closing it's doors, running away with around $500M of their client's money - Dell, overstock, tigerdirect, paypal, braintree, balance

I installed the plugin, restarted VS, but nothing happens when I type: /// convert string to byte array and press tab afterwards. Am I missing anything? Edit: actually something does happen... it inserts a tab, just like any

Twitter is awesome! It's so easy to use Twitter to connect with people you usually can't connect with because you have no way of reaching them. I use twitter a lot to find clients, support (e.g. I need someone from Google or Micro

Hmmmm, apparently I'm the only one here with a positive experience. I've used their Windows Phone and Windows 8 components and I really really like them. They are much, much faster than their opensource counterparts, they are very

In my (limited) experience bay area startup attach way too much value to bullshit interview tests like these. I'm a proficient developer, I know a lot of practical stuff about programming (setting up a solid architecture, design patter

"C# SDK" doesn't say much. SilverLight can use C#, WinRT can use C#, .NET can use C#, but that doesn't mean your "C# library" will run everywhere. C# is just the syntax.

Great you're here. I'm using this app, but I'm sorry to say this... It's pretty bad. Here's a list of issues that I encounter very often: - It often crashes during startup - There are massive encoding issues, I see

I think nobody ever read that book. It's more used as a reference. I tried reading it, but it was the most boring book I ever encountered (even worse than structure and interpretation of computer programs, which is also incredibly bori

Hell, even giving 50% to someone who only has an "idea" to bring to the table is ridiculous. It sounds like he put in MUCH more effort because she didn't even prepare for their meetings. Then what DID she do?

1. that's no issue when you just use Bitpay/Coinbase to exchange the Bitcoins for USD/EUR immediately. 2. first of all, that's not true. More Bitcoins are created every day so it's inflationary, not deflationary. Se

I just say "I run my own company". It's technically true (I even hired someone) and it is looked upon much more highly than when I just say "I'm a freelancer".

Of course I added it to my resume! All the companies I interviewed at (all small companies of <10 people though) thought it was a huge bonus for me. Even though I'm only a medior developer I have proven that I can work independently

On Windows Phone / Windows 8 this problem is even bigger. No matter how much effort you put in to build the best app in its genre, earning even $100 per month is extremely hard. I know a lot of Windows developers who are serious about

At my dayjob I'm productive for around 7,5 hours per day (I work 8 hours per day) which is incredible in my opinion. Then I put in some more freelancing hours when I get home, usually around 2 hours per day. I'm very bad at being

Why? Their rate is 3.9% + €0.35 for non-european merchants and 2.9% + €0.25 for european merchants. That's not exactly cheap. Do they offer a service I don't know about that makes them better suited for small payments than Stripe,

This is great news for all 5 haskell programmers! Just kidding, Haskell is a great language, it's unfortunate that the tooling is still way behind (at least on Windows) and that it isn't used much.
