I'll second the Anatomy of an Epidemic recommendation, it's really quite an amazing book. The comment below by the "pharmacist" is odd in that he hasn't read the book and knows nothing about it even though it is a major work. In particular,

"If anyone else has experienced this ... please let me know." I discovered the same thing. Alcohol stops the overthinking and lets me get stuff done. It seems that alcohol is a substance that different people react to very differently.

The big problem with work for hire as a contractor is that most projects include substantial amounts of code that belongs to frameworks and libraries which the contractor has developed for whatever specialty he typically writes for. When th

I don't think the report deepens the mystery, it answers questions. The flight data recorder information was recovered and tells what happened. The flight speed sensors weren't working and so autopilot shut off while the captain was taking

But I want the lolly NOW!!!! But seriously, Ada is well designed and not difficult. Ada is not part of the problem, this would take longer and be less reliable in C++.

Really? Many of the key scientists and engineers who enabled the first manned mission to Luna were not college graduates.

I like the way Safari does it. The location bar searches history and book marks and has a instant search result popup. The other one does the same for Google or whatever search engine is selected. Both are useful and I always want to search

It seems the obvious thing to do would be to have a site that collects the names and addresses of the doctors and dentists who are so incompetent that they fear reviews.

I'd like to thank you for your reply. That's a good point, it seems like nearly every company has some sort of iApp for iPad/iPhone/iOS out - a good portion of the increase could be development machines to support this. I also want to note

Thanks for posting, that's interesting. Original article, much longer, here: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/05/20/apple_makes_hu... Unfortunately, key details are missing, notably what they are being used for. For example, are th

Oh, it was the Pud FC dude behind this, the dude who did all the porn videos staring himself where he paid the actresses, and then stuck it on his website. Huh, interesting, I didn't know that guy was still around doing stuff.

"afraid to let people know what they spend money on" I doubt it is about fear for most. How about it's none of the other people's business. This meme about how people are "fearful" of whatever corporate agenda has been decreed is kind of an

Thanks very much for those additional details on this case. The original article's viewpoint seems to be suggest that a crazy person sued Facebook for frivolous reasons and the judge rightly dismissed the case. But that's not what happened

What ever happened to The Atlantic’s attention to detail? Articles don’t use balanced quotes, have ‘--’ rather than ‘–’ emdashes, and now sound like a teenager's angry blog with opening lines such as “things are fucked up” referring to one’

False argument. De-individualisation of self is not anonymity. You are misrepresenting Zimbardo. Zimbardo would note that the tracking and surveillance we are talking about is the sort of thing that leads to atrocities.

I agree that version control is nearly essential. But Ken's phrasing was not "Well of course I use SCM for everything." it's "Google is making me." The way he said it, even in jest, suggests a bit of resentment and a feeling that it's not s

Infographic is pretty but misleading propaganda that promotes its left column. It does indicate "advertisers" win at the bottom, but fails to mention stalkers, totalitarian governments, corporate power in general, and Zuckerberg and his inv

The last sentence of the interview "Google makes us do that" is very interesting. It's not that Ken is convinced it is a good idea, it is that Google is forcing him to do it. Google knows best after all, implied is that Ken is nobody so spe

One aspect of this, buying a company and then killing off all its products has been going on a long time. It's a destructive practice that causes a lot of damage. It's also one of the reasons I am against copy protection - I have purchased

There's a consistency in these stories from different people over the years that tells me this is one of the normal processes at Google. It may not be intentional, but it is known and there is no sincere desire to fix the process. That that
