Of course, but that doesn't equal the sound "moving around", the violin section will always remain in the same place for example, which is the feeling I get when listening to one of those 8D Audio videos on youtube. The sound

I have never understood what problem self-driving cars is trying to solve. I can, on the other hand, see that it could be more desirable to have self flying planes. But to even think that self flying = issue free and non crashable planes is

So you think that someone who's capable of building a system like this, has somehow missed the fact that you should store passwords safely? Nah, I don't buy that.

They should have been fined more than a measly €20k in my opnion. As a developer I'm deeply ashamed that people are still storing user passwords in plain text. There is no reason behind this behaviour what so ever, other than pure lazi

"... much of what is done is faux-agile, disregarding agile's values and principles." This. It feels so easy to get caught up in methods and tools, to not make a proper commitment (because it is tough to change the way you wo

I love the idea of having your actual users testing the software, rather a dedicated tester. A dedicated, employed, tester can never use the product like a normal user would. They have too much knowledge of how the system works and what it

I don't think it's baffling at all. Facebook is the largest social media company, and what do they do to try to stop all of the propaganda, troll factories and hateful things going on there? Naught. They know that they are the lar

The surname is wrong in the title, it should be Klint, not Klimt. It's an interesting read however, although I'm no art expert by any means, I've always liked abstract paintings as they have a sort of liberating effect on my

Define "technical". But when it comes to programming I always enjoy Sandi Metz's talks. I can highly recomend this talk she made at the RailsConf in 2014, about taking an ugly beast of code and turning it to something more di

I own a KeyOne, released last year with Android instead of BB's own OS. I love it, only downside is that I had to import it as it isn't available in my country ... I'd mainly used Samsung flagship phones before and got really

Facebook give out a minimum of $500 for bugs and issues they deem worthy of rewarding. Last year they paid more than $880,000, and as of January this year they had paid a total amount of $6,300,000 to the people participating in their white

Thanks for your reply! Although I (think) I usually go about programming by starting small, and then adding features as they are needed. It never occurred to me, for some reason, I could do the same in this case. By reading the other replie
