Thank you. And don't get me started on vs2013 update 2. I wasted a day putting up with it but eventually had to uninstall out of frustration. After that experience I can't see myself ever installing update 2 unless there is a s

Despite the down votes I stand by what I said. I would be far more impressed with a stable version of vs 2013 than a preview of 2014. There are too many glitches to document here, but I am using it every day and constantly finding bugs, s

I am annoyed by this. Vs 2013 is riddled with bugs but they are busy doing the next version?

I think he should just get laid already. His idea of doing it with someone who cares is fraught, as there is a good chance he will get dumped and it will be crushing because of his circumstances, and because it wont mean as much to his fir

Somewhat off topic, but how do single page apps deal with people hacking the JS? For example, if as a particular user I am only allowed to perform certain functions within the app, and that functionality is contained in the JS, then it doe

I always use patterns for non-core services. It works well except when there are annoying rules for passwords that don't match my pattern. However those are edge cases that force me to either remember my password or I don't use

It is quite complicated. The examples I gave are quite simple, but in a lot of cases the transpositions can happen many moves into the game. The maroczy sicilian example I referred to is one of these cases, where I might not actually play

The analysis is interesting. However I'm not sure it has much practical value due to transpositions. For example, as white I play 1.Nf3 and if black plays d5 I play d4 and we have a d4 opening. If black plays c5 I play c4 and depend

Why be embarrassed? He is a virtuoso freak. Primus could have been one of the all time great bands if wasn't for Claypool's singing and lyrics, but his bass playing and the instrumental sections of their songs are awesome.

Well you aren't comparing apples. The tablet weighs a lot less, has hybrid functionality and is touch screen. If you made the tablet heavier, with a non touch screen and a built in keyboard it would cost about $400 at rrp. So it isn

What a strange thing to say. He is obviously planning to work with his current stack forever. He has decided to be dogmatic at the expense of his project team. Basically, he will be unemployed within 5-10 years.

I can attest that it does drag on. There is an unfinished game from the weekend sitting on my desk, and we were playing with the accelerated rules.

I chuckled when I read that line. I assume they put in as a little joke.

Quirky review. Trying to cure your desire for a $1300 laptop by purchasing a $500 hybrid tablet and then declaring that it isn't good as a laptop is quite prescient. And the nail in the coffin was that other people aren't using I

That is a very strange post. Is the article actually "There is no such thing as a developer shortage in the Bay area startup space"? Because the rest of the world doesn't work like that, where the rest of the world equals

If they were really dead he wouldn't need to say it, it wouldn't be of interest to say it, and he wouldn't have bothered saying it. Microsoft only needs to be concerned when people stop banging on about them. It would have b

It is an insightful piece but nothing annoys me more than sensationalism. Its click bait and I am annoyed I got sucked into reading it and annoyed that I feel compelled to waste time commenting. Anyway, if it isn't obvious, the articl

The problem with the stock market isn't that you might lose money, the problem is that share prices are largely driven by perception rather than substance. At the extremes it makes sense, in that a company that runs out of money is wo

I did have a windows phone and very much liked having my wife pinned to the home screen but she was the only one who made it. I wasn't interested in having a whole heap of other (less attractive) heads burning my retina all the time. I

It pays to check these things before making a big commitment. Reminds me of a girl I know who decided to change her first name by deed pole. She changed her name to Pheonix rather than Phoenix.

Thank you. However I must confess that I am conscious of the decisions I make, and I am capable of evaluating the impact those decisions have on me and my particular circumstances. The outcome of this is : Some days I am full of energy and

There is a fine line. Sometimes these habits are required to fend off being underrated. I've been on projects where the attempts to make people look bad are brutal and relentless. Another scenario I experienced was where I took a con

Bah. There are hundreds of chess variants, to name yours chess 2 is extreme misplaced arrogance. And more than likely it has a dominant strategy and is flawed.

Your reply sounds a bit fishy. Your second sentence "he doesn't explain why his advice is worth a damn" is inconsistent with a rhetorical question. I agree he doesn't have much cred by the way, and his method is nothing
