If you have JavaScript (obviously Turning complete by itself), why do you need canvas?

That was a terrible example. Try calculating PI with HTML.

Horrible click-bait headline. Totally not supported by the article. No social network that charges money will ever outmaneuver a social network with a free tier. Also, it's quite a stretch to call it a social network. (Or a least if it

Seconded. I had a boss who hired some outside consultants to "find out what our IT department should do in the future". They had no experience in our industry. They asked me some questions and wrote down my answers. When they turn

> Probably the answer is not in software itself, but in the creation of small businesses that rely on free software. Yes, that is what I was trying to say. Not using Open Source on principle is like creating "make work" just so

The biggest issues are always soft stuff. Salary isn't a big deal -- once you have a senior dev salary, a few grand extra doesn't make a difference in lifestyle. A good developer can always leave and go to work for the big guys (

As William Gibson put it: "The street finds it's own uses for things." Back before cell phones, Motorola sold a lot of walkie-talkie type radios. Most of these were 'ruggedized' (encased in big thick yellow/ora

I'll bet we could add a header to fix the problem, similar to the way RFC3514 fixes DDOS problems at the TCP layer. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3514

If you want a diagram you can embed in text and check into source control, take a look at GraphViz. http://www.graphviz.org/ You can even embed it in other things, like Wikis. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki&

Seconded. The article doesn't even have thesis. It implies that automation/ecommerce is bad (because it's putting people out of jobs) and AWS is somehow spying on the computers it hosts (without proof that it's happening

Quick update: the company admits they didn't follow the rules and says they will share the code (but they are not sure how long that will take.)

But all the magic is in their client-side software. It's more like having your home directory on NFS, but it allows you to keep some files locally, and it keeps revisions, and it transparently sets up VPNs for you, etc. So, if you&#x27

No, I think this device is very "anti-PRISM". PRISM means that the (US) government can ask MicroSoft/Google/Apple for your files stored in the cloud without a warrant . So you get no protection against "unreasonabl

Amen to that. People tend to forget that Amazon started off selling only books, Facebook started off exclusive to Harvard students, CraigsList started off as a local SF site, etc. Companies that try to do too much at once end up spreading

There was an old ruby framework called camping. I don't think you can get any more lightweight than that. But it's probably obsolete by now. Meteor (meteor.com) may not be that lightweight, but it's a really neat model (inherently realtime,

Tutorials are best for beginners. They start from zero, so the author can build one bit of knowledge on top of another. It's easy for the user to feel progress, because every few minutes a new idea/concept can be introduced and explained (a
