Only lazy financial journalists who have trouble defining what "the economy" is in the first place.

That's a different argument though than just "it's more code so I won't do it". If we are discussing performance then the assumption is you have a performance problem you need to fix.

Developers who don't do something that would give them incredible performance and resilience because "it requires a lot of boilerplate" are bad developers.

The fact that the author is one of the main developers on the Play Framework means that he should be even more gracious towards the framework/design he is comparing Play against, otherwise he and his project comes off as comparing thei

I agree. If your argument is that doing X in language Y is bad because you have to write a few extra lines of code, and therefore no one (meaning the author) does X, that's an argument that reflects most poorly on the author himself. Y

Users don't have to manage and back up their keys---or even know what a key is. Scramble does it for you. As a user, why would I want to delegate my key management to you? Encrypting the email I want to send to a person with their pu

It's a really bad sign when people look at the end of the sprint as an absolute deadline for things needing to get done.

You realize that the tzdb files this functionality depends on has several updates each year that are probably never being installed on 90% of computers?

So, what types of widespread abusive things is the government doing to American citizens with all this surveillance? When you say "convenient bogeyman" it implies that all of this surveillance was built with the express purpose of

This presumes that those developers are building these systems to go after "our basic rights", instead of believing that they are helping to target terrorists and enemy states. What gets lost in a lot of the (justifiable) NSA outr

Imagine you come into possession of tens of thousands of documents covering material and terminology that you barely understand. That is going to take months to work through, even before you consider that you would want to keep access to th

By the same reasoning you should impeach the majority of Congress (the same people who would vote for such an impeachment of the President).

The important thing to note here is that a lot of states (but not all) that built their own exchanges are having similar success. Many states that decided to not build their own exchange, and thus saddled the federal government with another

Within 15 or so minutes, someone somewhere noticed the tweets, and informed someone who knew Hayden. What a dumb story. Former government officials who do a lot of press interviews have staff that monitor the press!

To be fair, the government isn't "taking control" of healthcare - they haven't assumed control over every private health insurance company.

If the argument though is "we can't have nice things because we screw it up", perhaps we need to look more at why America tends to screw these things up instead of taking away the lesson that we shouldn't try to have nic

I think you are assuming those 2000 are all software engineers, which they definitely are not. The S1 filing says: As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately 2,000 employees, an increase of over 1,800 employees since January 1, 2010. We int

The local repository cache is in ~/.m2/repository and each artifact is versioned, so you would have ~/.m2/repository/com/foo/bar/1.0/bar.jar ~/.m2/repository/com/foo&#x
