A lot of these complaints seem based on the fact that Git has features SVN doesn't and those features add complexity. Git really isn't that hard to learn. The trick is to take your time. If you try contributing to projects with co

This isn't really true. If Microsoft of 2016 has a focus on backwards compatibility it is only because of their myriad mistakes in the past. I know people have this false impression because of fluff pieces that have been written about

Nope. It is no more delicate than say the headlights or something. Or the fuel door and cap on a gas car.

I installed a charger in my house, it's really quite affordable (usually less than $1k depending on the electrical work needed.) Level 3 chargers are pricier because of the 440v line that's needed, but those aren't needed eve

You're still thinking like a gas car owner, thinking about needing charging stations like the ones Tesla has set up. Those will be a part of it, sure. But by the time EVs reach anything like ubiquity there will be charging available i

Is the "Emacs virgin" thing really only used in reference to women? Referring to people who have never done something (scuba, driving a Miata, eating sushi, etc) are often referred to as "virgins" to that thing. Much lik

They have a huge uphill battle against going national sticking with a vegetarian menu. If their target is McDonald's something huge would have to change to make that possible in the US. Chipotle was able to grow because they have meat.

This headline really overstates it. Anywhere outside of a major metropolitan center you are gonna be hard pressed to deal with day to day things like getting groceries without a car. The nearest grocery store to my house is about 5 miles. I

Is this really news to anyone? Of course it's hard to estimate, the same goes for MPG/miles until empty in a petrol or diesel car. That doesn't make the measurement of current estimate useless. It's still a useful tool.

Yeah I didn't check the agreement before, I had assumed the integration with AWS was there to make it attractive, but you're right it locks you out of any other third party service. That does make it a real choice.

This isn't nearly as big of a deal as the headline sounds since Lumberyard is just a free version of CryTek with extra bells and whistles. Why would any dev that was using CryTek not switch to Lumberyard?

Your example indicates you don't get it. You mention responses "from yesterday". That's not going to fly in an application that's real time that requires staff to keep the conversation open. You're describing a

Dude, I get it. Stop being so condescending. Maybe you're trying to be helpful by including those links but it comes off as incredibly insulting and pedantic. I was talking about a real-time communication application. You can make the

Of course but if you're writing a web app who's only purpose, for example, is to talk to support staff for your company then having an offline mode is not really useful. If you're offline you can't talk to the staff, so

I get where this movement is coming from but I just fundamentally disagree with it. Making offline first web apps may make sense for certain applications where you expect you users may need to use it offline, but it doesn't make sense

Err, I hate to be the one to break it to you but those billionaires pledging to donate their wealth? It's just a tax dodge. They're moving their money into foundations before we pass stronger tax laws than we have at the moment. A

Speaking for myself, growing up in the US I couldn't wait to move out of my parents' house and live on my own. My friends were the same way. The reasons having my own place was appealing to me really boil down to independence. Bei

The plural of anecdote is not data but just to give my own experience here; my youngest brother is of this age group and still lives with my parents for no reason other than laziness. He just has no ambition or interest in getting a steady

Yeah, sorry, Libertarianism is more like a religion than a system of governance. Leaving everything to the "free market" just frees those who already have wealth and power to do whatever they want and shackles the rest of us who&#

Code reviews != pair programming. Code reviews are great, but it's not remotely the same.

Four hours of overlap CAN work but it depends on the overlap. For example, if the rest of the team is working more "normal hours", starting before 10am and you don't start until 3pm, that means they can't have the whole

Yes there's a huge problem, your analogy is terrible. I get why you think it's a good one, but it doesn't hold up to any real scrutiny. The biggest problem is your equivalence of corporations to customers. Corporations aren&#

The main problem I see with this article is the author is totally focused on himself. If you are a solo developer this is fine, but if you are part of a team then his attitude is detrimental. I work as part of a team and we all work remotel

Nope because the state is subsidizing the companies and who pays for the state to run? They do. So they end up with infrastructure and education budget shortfalls.

I hope the EU wins. Tax havens need to be illegal. In the US they have created a race to the bottom between economically struggling states. States compete with each other to offer the most incentives and the only ones who win out of this ar

Yep that's a good point as well. Jobs wasn't the only valuable person who came from NeXT.

Considering the contributions NeXT technology has made to OS X and iOS, no that's an oversimplification.

Uhh OS X is based on BSD and NeXTSTEP. As is iOS.
