My program is a web app, and it is written in JS. The code in the application looks remarkably similar to my own. The major difference is they're looking for a new version of software that exists on the client while mine looks to see if a

Did you read the code in the linked document? It's trivial and obvious.

This doesn't sound like a good thing. This sounds like something one would expect when you combine ridiculous bureaucracy with lots of poverty. When you can't remove friction from getting things done, you just outsource anything frustrating

This is almost exactly what I'm currently coding in a side project in order to dynamically load different parts of a game when necessary instead of front-loading it all at once. This is just another example of an obvious method to solve a p

I know it's not the main point of the article, but far too many articles these days seem to dwell on the number of jobs that can be supported by any given startup. The most amazing thing, to me, about technology is how it enables such small

"With artists and labels hit hard by declining sales over the last decade, it’s hard to argue for lower royalty rates." It isn't really. Changing times sometimes call for drastic measures. What you were able to charge in one medium might

Even though this specific ship is not something I'm really interested in, I'm excited to see what iteration 5 or 10 will look like. Also, even if the institute/project is filled with a lot of people commonly thought of as nutjobs, I wouldn'

This is pretty obvious right? All of the comments on the pandodaily article revolved around the fact that VC doesn't get their homerun payday during an acqui-hire. It seems like the discussion around acqui-hires revolves around what the com

Do you only want Forensic Scientists and Violent Crime Detectives on the jury in a murder case? In fact, the phrase "actually understands the patent system and the patent process" is kind of loaded as the people mentioned only have experien

The foreman holds a patent that could be the poster child for what's wrong with the software patent industry. Being a Very Serious Person(tm) in an area that most people, who are paying attention, think has gone insane is generally not the

You mean it's going to have a positive effect on the economy? You no longer have 100,000 people digging and refilling proverbial holes, so they're now free to contribute in other ways. Of course that's going to cause some short term frictio

"Now it also has a patent that gives credence to its claims that its elastic database is truly innovative." Regardless of any innovation NuoDB may bring, can this phrase really be credibly stated, given everything we've seen in the patent a

The problem is that the barrier to entry with coding PHP for the web is to open up notepad for 30 seconds and then upload a file. It's hardly more complicated than writing a static HTML page. The barrier to entry with any other popular lan

The red warning page you have to click through also seems irresponsible to use in cases like this. It's the same page you get when there's malware on a site.

We do use software to manage it, but that doesn't mean the concept itself isn't misguided.

Offtopic, but the Denmark 'paper keycard' is an incredibly ass-backwards system. All our customers from Denmark have to use their card to use our software, and I can't believe something like this exists in 2012, or ever, really.

I actually like this decision, as far as I can tell the extent of it. It absolutely destroys the incentive to game the system, at least most of the current methods of cheating. It could sparks some interesting offensive spamming of competit
