Sometimes it can just be that you’re tired and want to try something else. Think of a job, Say after 10-20 years of very hard work. You probably either want a promotion or have changed companies. Just done something different. Sometimes for

Exactly, it could have gone the other way and the value could’ve crashed. As long as you got a fair price you should never look back at what could’ve been. Back in the dot com days I had a friend who sold his options early. He made enough t

Any data on older processors? For example I run a sandy bridge 3930k but didn’t see anything? Also how far back are they going to patch?

I would love to see an analysis of the productivity an hour before meetings. My guess is that it’s generally much lower than the baseline. And especially half an hour before

My guess is that it will help cloud providers. In most cases they don’t guarantee x operations per second but rather the type of cpu you get. If that type now gets 30% less performance you’re most likely going to have to pay 30% more. Again

How many people actually program software for the Mac? Not develop on the Mac but program for the Mac? It’s my experience that those who program on the Mac versus FOR the Mac have different opinions on the quality of the OS :( I know from e

It should really be re-phrased why you’re having trouble hiring developers at the rates you want because if for example you paid double market rates you would most likely be rejecting a lot of good developers. Money isn’t the only thing but

Interestingly enough I've found through my own company that it's not so much whether or not you're solo but rather the price of your software that determines if you can economically offer phone support or not. I wrote about i

In fact you may want to edit the getter because who says you’re the one who controls the setter. As in there may be more than one way to set the value ;)

Let me give a concrete example from my past. We had a public API of POJO domain objects that could be used to render templated files, think string replace. It worked great until one day someone had a special character that caused it all to

They are useless until one day they become extremely useful. In other words most of the time there’s minimal advantages. However by following good form you will eventually come across and instance where you have to do something and instead

On a positive note for a language to be hated on that list it had to be successful and big enough at some point to be useful ;)

I think it’s because it’s getting into the next stage. When it first came out almost all projects using it were new. Now it’s getting to the stage where new people are coming in to maintain existing RoR code bases, and that’s very different

I disagree with the article. When Firefox first got popular the default was internet explorer which was already installed on your computer. However because Firefox was so far ahead word spread and people took the time to install it. These h

It's sad that people aren't willing to pay $1 for an app but are willing to purchase in app features. I feel mobile software is moving in this direction and that it will only get worse with time. The sad part is it makes software

If you really want to see the advantage of keyboard hotkeys just look at the top Starcraft players. Yes they still use their mouse but they need hotkeys to even be able to compete at that level. They actually measure the number of actions t

They did something like this for the worst gen iPads. Two years and support was dropped. I believe they've also done it for Mac hardware too. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if they did it for an economy model of the iPhone.

Accidental is not a valid reason, same as ignorance. Otherwise everyone could just say they accidentally committed a crime. That necklace accidentally fell in my purse, I was accidentally speeding, etc.
