Question for anyone really: how many different websites did you visit today, and how many different apps did you use today? Is that number even remotely equal? Do you think you'd ever want as many as the former as apps installed on you

Can't we just fork the w3? Start using Firefox and forget about these people. Oh I'm sorry your browser is a little slower, but at least it's not Google made.

Cool, but I'd say Go is easy to learn. You can power through the spec, read Effective Go, figure out the go tools and GOPATH and be on your way. There's so little cruft. Go is limited in some ways, but the benefit is how simple it

I can't read this article without resizing my browser window. Fluid text width is awful. And yes wikipedia has the same problem.

When I predict that VR will trump reality I never mean to imply a virtual happy Utopia or that such a thing was inevitable. Our future might be a virtual dystopia for all I know, but virtual reality is my bet where most intelligent beings e

In the future, I think that even when we end up interacting with the real world we'll have a virtual one mapped over it, ala alternate reality stuff. Check out Rainbows End for what I mean there. We can't stop interacting with the

Enjoying the virtual reality world they made, which is probably better than the real world. If you are smart enough to create a virtual world in which you can do almost anything you wanted, why would you give two shits about the real world.

If you don't want Target to have your data don't give it to them. That's it. Do you need the government to prevent you from giving your data to Target?

Take the salary cut. Consider it paying yourself to do something you love 40 hours a week. That's your life man, that time you spend at work.

I was the direct manager for software engineers at a big public hosting company. Being a line manager was miserable. I thought going into management I'd have more ability to influence things but I had less. I had no time to write code,

I spent about 6 months in management and it was the worst experience in my career. I will never do that again. I'm back to writing code. I don't know why anyone would want to be a manager.

Police use judgment, not just about giving you a ticket, but when and where they will look for infractions, so it's not a reverse lottery. It's not random. The think of the children argument is often used to enhance laws and punis

Does django-redis block? I'm not sure I'd make a connection from django to anything other than a low latency queue.

Django guardian's performance is ridiculously bad. Better roll your own. We're using it and stuck with it at this point, but some of our page loads have thousands of queries because of all the permission lookups. Permissions proba

Cloud9 contributes to ace, but it's also a Mozilla project. Bespin was merged into Cloud9's editor, and now both contribute to Ace.

Agreed. There's reddit and on the other end there's pinterest. Both of those work in their context, but this nytimes redesign is skeuomorphism and all that's missing is the fake paper background image. As someone else points

They should have a disclaimer, but it's not exactly an ad for shoes at Zappos. As a customer I'd be worried by the instability such a big unproven change could bring to deliveries and customer support. It's a pretty fair and

I'm going to go ahead and be sceptical of a repo with 3 stars and more tests than working code. I doubt it works, but I didn't try it. It looks like it just wraps open-ssh libraries. It's probably going take more the 3 lines
