I read the article. What's fishy about this?

The "Why it matters" section is interesting. Cynically I'm trying to think of commercial uses of this for FB. I'm thinking if you built a device that you could put into public places, restaurants, or stores: * People cou

Do you have a link to your presentation?

I love this quote from the article: > The novelist Paul Theroux has said that he writes long-hand because, “The speed with which I write with a pen seems to be the speed with which my imagination finds the best… words.”

Does anybody know anything about who runs that site?

The line between a small subreddit struggling to get enough posts and then getting big enough to have drama is so fine these days.

The best part is when carousels show up on game consoles or kiosks when you're trying to log in or something that makes what you're trying to do impossible.

I second this. I've been a part of board meetings where I'm impressed how efficient and timely things can get if you use these rules.

How about letting developers pick or come up with their preferred way of working instead of mandating Scrum?

> Spring/Spring-boot is another painful one for Oracle because it largely sidelined J2EE related products and standardization. I'm thankful for J2EE and things like EJB 2. It's complexity gave rise to Spring and it's

The same thing appears to be happening with Scott Adams (author of the Dilbert comic strips).

I have a vision for what could end up happening. We will see a bifurcation of Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit into a conservative and liberal version. There appear to be many (apparently unsuccessful) attempts right now to do exactly

As a former dedicated tester and now developer, I feel that dedicated QA may not be as useful in the way software is developed these days. I like to view TDD as "requirement-driven development". If you think of it that way, if you

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in years!

This reminds me, I should probably do a Segway tour on the National Mall before the last ones fail. Segway tours are a lot of fun.

Does anybody have any reasons as to why they totally downplayed this major version release of their flagship OS?

Got a good link?

Very interesting post. One thing I'm thinking of is if an enterprise uses something like Slack then you could have persistent video rooms similar to the audio rooms in Discord. The last paragraph makes a good point though. As good as S

It cheers my heart to hear stories of tech thriving outside of SV.

I remember the transition from iOS 6 to 7. It definitely initially looked modern but I still sometimes have difficulty distinguishing between a label and a button.

Maybe. It's interesting that Sony removed FB integration from their OS for the PS4.

I was wondering where that that went and thought it was a bug or something.

Sometimes you take below-market pay in exchange for other benefits.

Bummer. Streaming from the Xbox was easy and fun. You could stream a multiplayer game with your friends! Friction was reduced to stream and you didn't need to mess with stream keys or overlays. Sad.

I was pretty pleased about the WWDC keynote except for when it came to macOS. My experience with updates and new features hasn't been pleasant the past four or so years. I'm frightened to see what things this feature update will

I remember Steve Jobs saying this was going to be a 20-year OS. They came pretty darn close.

Your "buts" are dead-on. Everything felt so distant and unauthentic. They should require their execs and presenters to not read from somewhere else and do it live.

This is an interesting way of thinking about this. There were definitely a few classes I took that really made an impression on me and changed the way I thought about things. There were also a lot of classes that were highly forgettable.

Went down the rabbit hole because of point 2 and ended up at some Chrome experiments. There is some amazing stuff like that out there. I can't believe there aren't more browser-based 3D games.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more Balkanization of services. When IBM and others announced they're not selling facial recognition technology to governments, I have to imagine there are companies who are absolutely willing to
