The thing I like about CSM is if you hover over (or click on, I can't recall exactly) the ratings for each category they outline why which helps you make your own mind up how flexible you want to be with their recommendation. Also give

You might want to have a think about what the drug trade does and has done to some South American and East Asia counties before you cry victimless. A legalised drug trade could be victimless, but not the one which exists now.

A bit more on this: Android licencing means that no company is allowed to ship both Google Android and non-Google Android. This means that to ship Google Android on the phone they (Amazon) would have to ship Google Android on all Fire table

Two KSP mentions: Q: In order to use the full MCT design (100 passengers), will BFR be one core or 3 cores? EM: At first, I was thinking we would just scale up Falcon Heavy, but it looks like it probably makes more sense just to have a sing

Australia also has crocodiles, box jelly fish, sharks, lethal spiders... I don't think that I'm imagining that Australia has more species of lethal animals than any other country. EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not saying Austra

Interestingly if you put in the cliche American free market priorities (jobs, income high, safety, work life balance, environment low, everything else in the middle) the US does come out top (as opposed to high but not top on a more even me

Worth pointing out now that Ember Data is still in Beta. It's a late Beta so you're probably safe but it's not impossible that it will change.

We're using Ember and have been for a couple of years now and it's come a long way in that time. 12 months ago I'd have struggled to recommend it but it's improved significantly. What I would say is that like most framew

Plus you opt out of the recommendations. I'm not sure what that means for it actually scanning your device and passing it to Twitter.

Switching costs are low but the barriers to entry into the market are massive - Larry and Sergi starting out today wouldn't be able to build a competitive search engine. The more interesting question (to me at least) is whether search

That would be an oligopoly and illegal. They could no more do that than oil companies could (legally) conspire to fix prices.

Given how over subscribed the beta is I think they're getting feedback. Remember with this sort of product the questions they have are "is this interesting?", "is this useful?", "do people like what this does?&

I might agree with some things but not with e-mail, it's too important to most people say "hey this is probably OK but who knows". And because of that there is the risk of reputational damage around one of their core products

by Tyrannosaurs 12y ago
I disagree. They're short cuts you might take to get a product out and get early feedback, the same sort of shortcuts most of us have taken when pushed to release something sooner. This is a product in Beta, not the finish article. Eve

The last paragraph: "However, we still haven't figured out exactly why Google is blocking Inbox on Firefox. That the application is not working, seems to not be fully true. With some more man hours, it seems trivial for Google to

Yep. My personal view from my interactions with HR (as a manager looking at redundancy, poor performance, sickness) is that they're best viewed as the Employment Law team.

> Even a basic knowledge of labour laws is not a pre-requisite for a career in HR. This might be a US-centric view. In the UK if you don't know employment law you're no use as an HR professional. Your line managers almost certa

by Tyrannosaurs 12y ago
HR is there to protect the company from all staff - yes you but also your manager and his/her ignorance of employment law. Maybe it's just a European thing but I've seen more HR professionals despair at the actions of manager

Google+ not being actively maintained by someone? I'm shocked I tell you...

I agree re Linux and OSX but I could see iOS and Android. The scale of mobile is such that if you want to be relevant in the way MS have historically, they're two platforms you can't ignore.

Doesn't Xamarin have a load of other stuff around testing and the like? It could just mean a move away from Xamarin as a core development tool into producing things which support development on these platforms.

CVs posted to job boards (in the UK at least) aren't looked at by companies but by agencies. Those agencies call you and do all the pre-screening (and CV tweaking) before they send the CVs to people like me. When I've looked for a

I'm not saying it's hard to do, I'm saying people don't do it. You'd have to ask them why.

I think it's OTT describing it as a secret. If a job spec lists a skill, highlight where you've used it so I can see your experience. That's not difficult or counter intuitive or unreasonable. Realistically I can't inter

My hoops? Did you read what I wrote? I suggest 5 minutes of CV tailoring. You think that's jumping through hoops?

That may be true but almost no-one does it.

Obviously there is no one rule for everyone but personally in 20 years working in IT I've never left a job because of money (and I've left a few). I've left because of uncertainty, because the work was bad, because there were

A few things: 1) Like all things it's a balance. Developers are valuable resources and I'm not going to dump 100 CVs on them when I can reduce that number. Aside from anything else they'd hate me if I did but also I can reduc
