And your post reads like a by-the-numbers homework answer or someone who is plugging Flynn's book. Merely citing references doesn't give you a coherent argument. IQ is meaningless as a predictor of effectiveness in life. Practical intellige

The headline is inflammatory and probably misleading, I thought it was regarded as poor form to editorialize by rewriting headlines. Yet again, in threads like this there are lots of "never done anything" armchair quarterbacks pontificating

Your columns are too wide for the font size and so you have minimized readability rather than distraction.

Careful, anti-Jobs sentiment is strong here.

A worthy endeavour but doesn't this render the term "startup" so generic as to be meaningless? This is a new charity at best, it is not a business. So in what sense is it a startup? Unless you label every new organisation a startup, in whic

The real drawback to this approach is that it ensures no one will prepare for the meeting and the 'discussion' will consist of kneejerk reactions to what they have just read. It is eminently unsuitable for discussing anything important and

Quite, the problem isn't powerpoint it is that people don't know how to give presentations (or often why they are giving the presentation). Consequently they use powerpoint like a drunk uses a lamp post.

It's easier to be self-righteous than, you know, actually doing something yourself. What have you done for charity recently to merit this sanctimonious tone?

So if there is a way to do UPSERT what is the problem? Are people just complaining about the lack of syntactic sugar?

I disagree. Language is about expressiveness, simplification in language is about reducing expressiveness which is neither normal nor natural, nor a good thing. Basically, thinking of UI as a language in order to make sweeping statements ab

Lots of unsubstantiated assertions including the paranoid belief that r/atheism is hate speech. Why not go back to Fox and Disney, the real world must be an uncomfortable place for you.

There is the old saying that "talent skips a generation". It is much an observation on parenting styles as anything. This "tiger" moniker just refers to extremely pushy (read "abusive") parents. Their reward will be producing children who g

Oh for God's sake! The "piracy is a gateway to purchase" argument is asinine and only believed by people trying to justify their own thieving. Any "backlash" to Adobe's move will come from the thieves, who were never going to be customers a

"I think Adobe just priced themselves solidly out of the prosumer market." I think what they did, or at least what they wanted to do, was find a fix for the rampant theft of their products. What this now does is open up the domestic image p

The Atlantic article wasn't from a blog nor was it spam, but I do see that someone has changed both the title and link. Please stop your infantile, factually incorrect, holier-than-thou name calling, it impresses no one, certainly not me.

I find all the whining of all these armchair security experts a bit wearing. No one outside of Linode and the alleged hacker knows exactly why and how Linode was hacked so quit speculating, you are simply making things up. "Ooh, this is a b

This is just this week's trend, it'll look really dated by the end of the year. And yes it does look like an off the shelf theme. A government site has a job to do, primarily to provide information and contact details, this is more suited t

People who try to exploit Google on the margin risk falling the wrong side of that margin. If that happens then Google are not interested in your feeble "but if you look at this way" justifications. This is not abysmal customer service, it

So, out of interest. What bit of this is original design or conception? It all looks like a blatant plagiarism of iA Writer to me. "Different shade of blue", FFS!

Funny, if Apple trawled through your email, calendar and search history to pull a stunt like this people would be up in arms. Guess whether a walled garden is a bad thing depends on your particular brand of fanboyishness. Personally speakin

So, what is Docker and why should we care about a 0.x release? Yes, I looked at the link and no, I was not much the wiser, something to do with virtualization perhaps?

Don't you start whining too. It is entitlement, not a desire for recognition. No one is disrespecting this guy (so far as we know) they are just ignoring him, just like everyone else in the world spends most of their lives after early child
