I do not understand how this really any different that what we already have with anonymous classes/interfaces. If we have to continue to define interfaces for our lambdas then we might as well continue to use anonymous classes and remove t

That's just window dressing on the problem. The merchant still has the overhead of a paying for the store hence the price he can offer the product for will reflect that. Even if they had coffee, a warm blanket, and comfortable shoes for y

Now it looks like producing apps that are tablet + phone capable is important for this to succeed. Think if you have an app running on your phone, and you dock it now you just got more space so you're app should change to tablet style inte

Nooooooooo! I'm gonna miss Clik and Clak. My wife is not a talk radio listener, but she'll listen to Car Talk, and laugh. Sad to see them hang it up.

If you just use GZIP, supported by most browsers, it compresses without the need of special software on the client side to rebuild the original JSON response. And does a better job at compression I bet. I thought of doing something like t

Yea I have to agree with other posters. This is easy money for most software engineers because they have exactly the skills that will be posted on the ads, criteria that are checked, etc. I think even your challenge misses the point of th

That was an awesome article. I couldn't finish it as it was too long, but the technical detail in it was really awesome. Just the biology and relating it to computer nomenclature was really interesting. I think what's really amazing abou

+1 for the hack, but the other solution was to tell your lacky, ...err...I mean personal assistant, to push a button on Mark's phone at the same time as Mark rang the bell. We live in a age where we can execute all amazing technical soluti

This is a disheartening story about education in the US. People aren't going to continue to work a job if you call them terrible at it. I feel I have strong self esteem, but I don't think I could handle that. What's sad is our over relian

I forgive them. The title is misleading, but I imagine the alternative: "Kuiper Belt Orbits Indicate A New Planet" Nah. "Mystery Planet Influences Kuiper Orbits" Nah. "Data suggests Remote New Planet" Nah. Ah screw it. "New Planet Found

I see Jeff's point. Don't turn a bunch of people into coders that aren't ready for it. You'll just dilute the brand, and right now being a coder is valued today for whole host of reasons. As evidence of the faked resume scandal at yahoo.

No generation ever knows what its all for until they're 40 possibly 35 because you're outside the holy grail of advertising demographic. Coincidence? Yea probably. If you haven't figured it out by then your not paying much attention anyw

Non-existant ecosystem is a harsh assessment especially given the massive amount of java code our there. Any jar file can be used so the Java ImageIO package can easily be leveraged. It's early on for this tool chain, but all you have to

An government run monopoly is also massively successful. That doesn't mean we like it and want it to continue.

"Worst article ever!" At what point, in that repetitive myth that keeps getting recycled, do the english majors start taking over? They don't. And they won't. And I want my time back.

Bravo! If you thought you were immune because you only visit "reputable" sites it'll make you think twice. I tried putting it in a incognito tab in Chrome and Google apps in a normal tab. That didn't log out, but if I put both google app

Well this is where I think the term of joker should be clarified. Jokes must not consume the public good, but they must destroy it. Lloyd certainly benefits and certainly destroys, but his benefits exclude him from being a joker. Defecto

I'm having trouble understanding who is a defector, who is a cooperator, and who is the joker. The author has copious asides where he asserts "the financial industry; most of the people you work with, and probably you, too" are the defecto

I'm a Yammer user. I'm not head over heels for it, but it's good especially for decentralized operations. I'm in a consulting company and we don't actually talk about projects as much as advertise articles we wrote, software we created, q

The money figure doesn't matter. We could quibble over the dollar amount or the fact that even if I had all that great equipment I couldn't reproduce the photo myself. All of those pedantic arguments don't matter. The Intellectual Proper

Layout. The legacy layout model and the cryptic CSS work arounds we employ to get it to work are terrible.

Yes but all of that was after you had gone through most of the weed out boring stuff (at least that was how it was further back than I care to admit). You really had to be committed to it to stick around to get to the fun stuff. But, I th

Is it really all that strange to find out that we aren't that different from how we were in 1960 with respect to authority? Back then we thought of authority as a government and the nation state, but today it's you and me, our entertainme

Colonoscopies cost loads of money because they are performed in a Dr's. office. Insurance won't pay for them because they don't want you to actually go to a Dr's. office. Screenings can come down in price if they can be performed outside

The only difference being image clarity, 3D? Yes it's improved since then, but so does everything we create. The underlying technology hasn't changed that much. By this logic we should continue to pay 1950s prices for a TV because a cath
