It would have been valuable to Shaikh if he had someone he trusted who could counsel him to just chill and not shoot himself in the foot. What happened to him at YouSendIt doesn't seem fair to me, but sometimes life is that way. Now he co

Can't wait for the day my car will drive itself to the shop for a smog check and oil change.

Over the past few weeks I've seen a number of Ember evangelists making claims about BB as 'hard to use' or 'suitable for small apps'. I don't agree. The fact is that BB is stable and has loads of documentation and live apps. Ember not so m

Rugby doesn't seem to generate the same types of severe head injuries as football. Is that true? If so, why?

I did licensing deals with Studios for a few years. My experience was similar to jonnathanson's. I found these organizations to be difficult to work with, with a great deal of fear about disrupting existing relationships with cable distri

Driving sure has lost its cool for me. The traffic and wasted time. The fuel and insurance costs. Making time for car services, oil changes, smog checks. Dealing with the DMV. Yuck. I hope our relationship with the car changes. Self driv

"I’ll remember how he chose to pursue ideas that inspired a man staring down death." I've always been leery of people who are obsessed with work to this extent. If work is your only metric, then yeah, its great. I sure would love my emplo

I'm a US citizen who lived in Europe about when I was about 27. I was there for 4 years and it was a great experience - both leaving and returning. I'd do it again in a second. How it worked for me was: I helped start a company in Califor

He was a straight up debater who could discuss ideas on their merits, and seemed to make up his own mind on issues. Gone too soon.

Every web app is gonna use JavaScript in the browser. So IMHO learning JavaScript is a must. Then the question is: what server-side language to learn? If it were me, I'd learn a modern scripting language like Python or Ruby.

All I can say is, I'm way more productive with CoffeeScript than I ever was with JavaScript. Debugging can be a pain. But I'm using Jasmine heavily, and finding that a steady dose of TDD eliminates most of the debugging frustration.

Gates' recent initiatives in energy, education and health are interesting. We need more leaders who can envision and execute projects that will make a positive impact. The software industry doesn't need fixing - I hope Gates continues to f

The drone may be guided by AI, and limit emissions to prevent detection, but surely it listens for instructions. I think its unlikely that the drone was hacked, but without insider knowledge, how can you definitively rule out electronic hij

The Amber claim is "if you’re a Backbone fan, I think you’ll love how little code you need to write with Amber". Can anyone explain the differences between Amber and Backbone, why Amber might require less coding?

The TerraPower design is really interesting - hope it is successful. China is also developing Thorium reactors. ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_prit... ) Safe/cheap nuclear would make such an impact - I'm happy

No. If we can't make it work here on earth, where we have everything we need, how are we going to make it work somewhere else? Before going into the galaxy, we have to fix ourselves and our society. And we can do it.

I tried to use JQM with backbone.js. Problem arose that JQM couldn't handle query params (like http://site.com/page?key=value ), so I couldn't build dynamic pages that are bookmarkable. JQM devs were aware of the issue but said that dyna
