If the guy was so good, why didn't they promote him?

The (sad?) truth is STEM degree is useless in most IT areas. Even the most complicated development (OS kernels, drivers, a/v processing and encoding, encryption, cv, ml, etc) is all about self-education. It's anecdata, but I perso

Their weird logic must be "we don't restrict access to the text of a law, you just have to pay for it".

Bit unrelated, but there's a working way to get rid of FB addiction. Just start unfollowing everything that you see in your "news feed". It's not visible to anyone, and you will gradually (a couple of weeks in my case) p

You can buy a 1Gb SD card for every photo session, and throw it to garbage after it's full. Don't lie to yourself, you just like film and paper itself, and all that stuff and smells around the process. :-) (me too)

It's far from enough to know a programming language. If someone knows how to write binary search on C++, he can rewrite it on Python, JS or C# pretty easily. But software development is not about writing pure functions, it's about

Is there any proof that sugar is an addiction? It's anecdotal, but I'm on sugar-free diet right now (just out of interest, since Jan 1) and all I feel is that it's annoying that now I can't eat half of all I ate before.

Instagram is not replacement for photo labs, digital cameras are.

I sell an OSX app for advanced users, and as you said, they don't click on ads and it would make more sense to heat my house with $20 bills instead sending them to fb/adwords. However, I ran 2-day flash-sale and it went unexpected

What do you mean "you can't build"? What does "build software" mean? You can't run gcc anymore? Contribute to opensource? Publish your app? What would you add to that "code of ethics"? Should I be ban

It's easy to be better than messy user-unfriendly facebook :-) Russian clone vkontakte is way better, for example.

Even if there's such a clone, it's not as good as github/bitbucket/whatever. All those chinese clones like are terribly worse than originals.
