Services that turn people into numbers have no future. Glad to see Klout go. Hopefully Hackerrank and its ilk will follow.

This is where I think Wikipedia really falls down as a repository of information. It's crazy that if a new programming language is invented, people would have update N Wikipedia pages. If I built a simple DB that had all this info and

This comment got me Googling and I was amazed that I couldn't find a good, canonical list of programming languages. The best I could find was a Wikipedia page, they're sorted by alpha which I find not very useful: https:/&#x

I have an early-2015 Mackbook Pro that I am absolutely clinging to because 1) it works 2) it has all the ports that I need: USB, HDMI, Mini DisplayPort and MagSafe. That being said, it feels like it's slowing down. Has anyone had succe

Back in 1999 I worked at an early web consultancy that built apps for clients on top of Oracle. We used their DB + a programming language called PL/SQL. There was a feature of Oracle called SOUNDEX which was magical . Here's an e

Lots of tech companies do this. It's like a rite of passage. Twilio built Bacefook once upon a time. I'm most curious if Stripe will productize this. That would be massive.

This looks like an amazing product. I'm stunned they're sharing this sneak peak as simply a way to encourage engineers to apply to Stripe. Does anyone have a sense of whether they intend to ship this as a product? It's incred
