At work we have tools that automatically concatenate the lines of our .c files into one giant line of code. That helps us get around the pesky 10K LOC limit.

Computer programming is a job that’s heavily dependent on temporary knowledge capital. It’s temporary because the powers that be keep changing the languages and tools that programmers need to do their jobs. I could rephrase that to: "Comp

I'd like to know if Mr. Woo had two-step authentication turned on for his Google account. (He mentions only that they, "gained access to my Google account.") It's the potential for this sort of damage, or much worse, that prompted me to tur

Like "great filmmaker" or "great wine", what does "great programmer" even mean? It's so context dependent, and there are countless aspects to programming that you could use to compare. It's not strictly hierarchical either. "Effective" seem

I found their opening quotes to be a bit at odds with the rest of their logic: "It's probably hard for a Mercedes owner to describe to a Honda owner how attention to detail makes their driving experience better." Right, and said Mercedes

It's an interesting analysis, but I don't see how the results would affect my buying decision at all . What's the actual dollar amount difference in reselling an iPhone for 53% of original price vs Android at 42%? Maybe $50-$80? How much

I'm not ready to cry for poor Nest just yet. The company has substantial funding, experienced backers/advisors, and is clearly aware of the patent environment they operate in. Heck, their About page touts how the founder Tony Fadell has aut

The demo is very CPU intensive to the point that the fan on my MBP comes on shortly after starting it. If I'd stumbled onto it with my wife's BlackBerry it probably would have caught on fire. I think he chose correctly in leaving the script

What tildedave said. I was on the wrong end of blacklisting situation and it was extremely frustrating. First, you don't know that your customers aren't receiving the emails. Second, you have very little clout in getting things cleared up.

At 37 I'm in the transition zone right now, having both management and coding experience (now coding), and have thought about this quite a bit. I'm eager to (and do) maintain my skills, and really don't see myself morphing into the old fudd

A solution is for the Internet industry to start giving free advertising to political campaigns on our own new media assets... assets like YouTube that are rapidly displacing television. I'm not sure what this fixes. I already get to see

Younger programmers will latch on to the newest trends and make you obsolete... Your best bet is to get out of coding and into management or into entrepreneurship as soon as possible. I'm starting to bristle at this attitude because I'm e

I'm not criticizing the review because of the author's Apple bias. I just don't think it's a quality review. He made no attempt to broaden his perspective widely and consider many types of potential users of the device, and then assess it a

I think Marco was trying, unsuccessfully, to be to the Kindle Fire what Siracusa was to the Jobs bio. He even got a nudge from Gruber, who called his review "scathing". "Bitching" might have been more apt. I can imagine him grimacing as he
