Do you have any links to specifications on it? I'm very interested on identity federation. But the post doesn't give away much info on persona's capabilities.

More power to the user is good. Current IdM solutions leak too much data to the service providers/relying parties. What really sucks about all solutions is that once the data has leaked, you gotta trust the service providers not to sell or

Indeed, I'm almost convinced of this. My advisor invited me to work with him then I got excited by the idea of doing something more complex than what I was doing. I wasn't really thrilled by getting into school again, but I guess it was goo

I've spent some time working on jobs as a programmer, but the companies weren't all that great... to be honest, I had the chance to take a somewhat close look at the infrastructure of one of the largest retailers from Brazil, who happened t

That is the kind of thing I would like to see in case studies. I always see articles about starting the next facebook or something, the 'sexy' startups. But when it comes to building stuff to niche markets like, say, agriculture or logistic

So it is not really a practical option, considering that you need to make money and the process of entering a new market just to learn may take several years, until you learn enough to build anything close to already established competitors

by alberich 14y ago
But how would one compete with already established competitors when it comes to domain knowledge? I mean... picking up a niche market may be easy, but then you must know it better than those who are already there.

I see tow problems with this. First, the fact that "beautiful" is very subjective... what makes code beautiful? Is it the idea expressed, the syntax, the cleverness? Second, the fact that this subjective property could imply that something

Title says "Dumping PHP For Go"... then the article says: "Why no more PHP? First, I should probably clarify that I will continue to use PHP"... hmm, is this a contradiction or not?

I thought that, besides the JVM itself, the advantages of Clojure would be its concurrency model - as CL standard doesn't define anything related to this - and its stronger functional approach. I don't fully grasp the advantages of being a

by alberich 14y ago
I wonder what would be the advantages of using Clojure without the JVM over, say, Common Lisp. To me, it seems the great advantage of Clojure is its ease of using the large number of java libraries out there. However, if you take those libr

I have two disagreements with this article. The first is the assumption that everybody wants "Very interesting and absorbing work" - I guess that is not very accurate, maybe most people want to feel useful or part of something bigger. Howev

The article is nice, learning by doing is way more effective than just reading about something. I just don't feel very confortable with the word "hacking". This term is so overloaded nowdays that it's almost meaningless. Anyways, good job :

I'd argue that this "jugaad" happens everywhere when people are under extreme pressure and have no good expectations of getting anywhere following the rules. Here in Brazil there are lots of young people that gets into drug dealing just bec

I wonder how they would coordinate a large number of these flying objects, both in flight and while take off and landing. You know, large cities have millions of cars... It sounds really 'sci-fi' to imagine all those million cars flying :)

I agree that capitalization is not mere opinion. I was asking why not capitalize a name? Makes Microsoft sounds like some stuff, not some business.

by alberich 14y ago
I didn't find it good at all. Why "microsoft" and not "Microsoft"? And the logo is ugly. well, after all, it's just a matter of opinion.

There is this requisite: if you have a solid product or service Then you can go directly after enterprise customers. Now one just needs to come up with a way of building solid enterprise products without customers in the first place.

I don't see the relation here. If there was no facebook or other apps, people would not use the computer, they would watch TV, go to pub, or stuff like that. These people that use facebook, mostly, just don't care about computers, they wan

Comparing computer illiteracy with analphabetism seems a little exagerated. I remember seeing this same divide between geeks and people who couldn't care less ten years ago. And about the quote: "The kids I have, and that is roughly two doz

Well, this kind of relative thinking brings us to another question that has not much to do with this topic. Should laws be followed or not? Is it morally valid to do ilegal stuff because one believes that the law is wrong? I'm adept of resp

So, this guy buys up cocaine from some (probably highly violent) drug producers from some poor country, but as he didn't kill anyone himself he is a nice guy? Discussing drug legalization is one thing, but many people die every year by the

I don't get it. The girl supposedly created the "swiss army knife of cancer treatment" and she gets only U$ 100k? This doesn't sound right... this is no "swiss army knife" or the girl was cheated. If the project is such a great advancement

Easy fix, remove the logo from the splash page if you know people get offended and you worry about it. People seem to get offended by almost everything. It is not FreeBSD's fault if people are so intolerant to the point of running away from

Maybe it's cheaper to build a new one and send it into orbit. I guess the purpose is to avoid creating more space debris, not to cut production costs.
