What the crap? Look what you are saying is crazy. 1) you aren't including operations staff. 2) what are you doing for DR/HA? 3) how about CDN etc? 4) how about load balancing between datacenters? DNS failover? 5) how many units of

For me, design patterns are a good thing. If it's a phase, I'd prefer people to be stuck there rather than never learn them. My reasoning is that using a pattern is like documentation. If I see a pattern in some code, i barely h

I don't normally vote articles up but this looks really cool. It would be good if they had more info about their testing methodology and also something like a haproxy implementation. Also I don't see any mention of failure if the

What percentage of businesses have someone available to answer the telephone? This seems more convenient than that. But it also seems like twitter.

Gosh this reply is ridiculous. We're talking about languages and .net isn't a language. The differences between visual basic and f# are vast. Are you saying the last 30 years of language research dictate that languages should be

man, I agree with your recommendation, but strongly disagree with your reasoning. Cheap devs don't pay off. Seriously, I have hired a lot of developers and one good dev (at twice the rate of a cheap one) can easily do 10 times the wor

This reminds me of ACME http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_(text_editor) . To me it doesn't look like something new at all. The cool thing about this project is it doesn't interrupt how you use your mouse. Us

Isn't the look of your resume one of your competitive advantages as job-seeker? Sorry I really don't understand the use-case. Having an API is good for styling (as you say), or doing some soft of programmatic transformation to da

.NET isn't a language. The languages you list really suck compared to Go. They are ridiculously verbose. Goroutines in particular are really quite nice.

I couldn't agree more. What if someone who was part of the experiment group committed suicide? Where's the duty of care?

I find this article insanely interesting. Is there software to help doctors create this decision tree these days? Shame about the patent - why would someone do that?

Why do you want to be able to hack your phone? I would think you'd want your communications device to not be flakey.

I second this. I got up and running on opsworks in about 3 days without any AWS or Chef experience (I use puppet on our other providers).

It's a mixed bag really. I prefer cloud based solutions where load is going to be an issue, but only sporadic load. You can easily spin up a new instance, pay for what you use and not be paying for it the rest of the year too. With t

I personally think Safari is better than 5/10. And I'd also suggest that their web browsing (interfacing with something messy like the internet) capability on iphone 1.0 set the standard for internet usage on a mobile device. I t

I think Apple understands both PaaS (the new icloud stuff in ios8/yosemite) and SaaS (most of their offerings which were decent up until now). I don't think IaaS really comes into this discussion at all - If they did it or didn&#x

I just wanted to make a couple of comments; 1. I think that when something is new, like Google Glass or occulus rift, we (as nerds) tend to think it's the future because it hasn't been possible before before we have quite worked o

I couldn't agree more, and that's why I hate perl. That gap in the middle makes it really hard to hire perl developers unless they are experts. It's hard to find experts because they think perl code is a mess before they get

What the heck? I couldn't disagree more. You don't have to create a branch before you write some code. Write the code, and if you think it should go on a different branch, type "git checkout -b 'branchname'".
