There is one thing a human can do that these new fancy drones can't yet. Look out the window and identify if a target is hostile or not. My understanding (I used to be in Naval flight training) is that this is still a huge part of the

I'm not sure I would feel comfortable with allowing a government who is already overstepping it's bounds to arrest me if I were in his shoes. If they are willing to overstep their bounds now, what's to prevent them to decide

True, but is the distance he's using in these photos the distance from center to center or edge to edge. That also poses the question of what exactly is the edge...

If it works like their current 'family' accounts do, then everybody is basically sharing the same gold membership. So you all pay for xbox live gold on the same billing information.

One major reason for this feature is that it's used to edit the wikis. Wikis are git projects in bitbucket so you can check them out and edit them locally, or edit them in bitbucket. For the less technical users collaborating on a proj

Assembla is it's own company and is not associated with Atlassian as far as I know.

Texas has a little over 3x the population of Virginia with 4.5 times the number of executions. Keeping in mind that crime isn't necessarily consistent from place to place I don't think that is a drastically larger number proportionally.

Scheme doesn't stop you from using mutable state, I mean what about the set! function?

I used to think that way. Then I started actually using the unsubscribe links and (surprise!) I found that I stopped getting so much junk. I don't really have to hit unsubscribe very much anymore, just whenever my name gets added by some ne

What about using more that one double-quote characters(""some string"")? I can't think of any reason that you would do that in a particular string. Of course, you still need some way to escape it just in case, and there are always going to

I can see using these, but only sparingly. I don't think I'd use that preview eyeball. It's kind of creepy... :)

I absolutely love the irony there. Then again, I can't really knock them for not making their website work on IE 5 since they don't support that browser any more.

Yeah, I never plan to fly American Airlines. These are the same guys who fired one of their UX guys for taking the time to reply to a blog about a redesign of their homepage. Check it out: http://dustincurtis.com/incompetence.html

It does seem that the author favors CanJS perhaps, but I thought his comparison was fair overall and he did note areas that CanJS falls short of Ember/Angular. I would suspect that if he were to break down his experence with the various fra

There is a good chance that a bill enabling direct-to-consumer for all vehicle types would not pass.

I'd definitely say that Ember is more Desktop MVC than MVC2. True to it's Sproutcore/Cocoa roots, you are supposed to be able to wire up a lot of the application with the built-in controllers that don't have to be customized (or at least cu

I think using a whiteboard to test someone's design knowledge is probably a good idea. I like to draw diagrams on a whiteboard when I'm designing a solution to something. However, using a whiteboard for a CODING exercise is stupid. When was

Also, keep in mind that Halo was only on the xbox 360. Destiny will be available cross-platform so the market is even larger.

Sounds like the situation I found myself in. I stuck around because I felt I was indispensable and I felt a sense of loyalty. In the end, I got fired because the boss wanted to "change things up" since he wasn't getting things done as quick

Neat! Not great for applicants that they have to purchase a copy of Portal 2 on steam, but at least it should be fun. Also, I don't know if it's a good thing to require engineers to apply by playing a game - but I guess it might be good to

I've tried switching to Intellij from Eclipse a few times, but it's just too different and I don't feel like the UI is all that great. This is a great deal but I just don't see the justification to buy Intellij.
