I think people are just looking for a story. A botched Yahoo acquisition is more entertaining than one that maintains the status quo.

What Ubuntu got popular off of was it's ease of setup. They now seem to be using that validation to justify their decisions in UI and everything else, which has nothing to do with what people liked about Ubuntu in the first place. I fe

I have some data: http://w3techs.com/blog/entry/jquery_now_runs_on_every_secon... Of the top 10k sites 58.8% use jQuery. That's good! But only 26.6% use a cdn. Leaving only 15.6%. That's bad... But 94.2%

I'd like to see a study of response rates on resume's that are nearly the same, except for the gender, and race implied by the name. I feel like that would provide a pretty good measure to figure out how discriminatory our jobs sy

You might be cooking it wrong. You need to rinse it a bunch to remove its bitter taste.

I'm not 100% clear on what that feature includes. If I'm on a roadtrip and I'm moving into an area with spotty coverage, do I lose the previously cached map? Were offline maps automatic before?

It seems like this might be the most important comment here. If so, then the law is being discarded just because the companies at hand are pushing their weight around.

Can you call transparent pricing a "revolution" when the status quo is purposefully obfuscated and archaic in order to nickle and dime you? It seems more like just doing the right thing.

One argument I hear a lot is that self taught programmers can teach themselves the theoretical stuff later on their own. As you mentioned, one problem is that you wont have the direction. I think some other problems that are often overlooke

Can we sum up this semantic debate as cryptography is the science, security is the application and engineering of it?

Even worse, what they're doing is completely unnecessary and probably more work than it should be. They can just request access to your contacts list using one of Google's APIs. Instead they're probably doing something far mo

I don't think there are many people that disagree with the points this guy has brought up. But he doesn't really bring up the things that people actually are complaining about. There are many aspects of the UI that are very garish

My impression was that people responded favorably to flat design. Look at the web as a whole and you can see that much if not most of it is embracing flat design. Sure there was backlash for it, but skeumorphism also had tons of backlash as

People might not share my sentiment but I think doing this is fine. Yes, all your points are true, but they require the attacker to single you out specifically, and try and figure out your process. Frankly, unless you're a very important pe

While reading 1000 years on english history on wikipedia one day, I was thinking of a game just like this! I really like the whole legacy and bloodline idea. I hope they have a historical recap so you can see the epic history of your kingdo

High Fructose Corn Syrup is not always 55% fructose. HFCS can vary greatly in that ratio according to [this USC study]( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20948525 ) that analyzed the fructose ratio of a variety of HFCS only sweetened soft

I think it's a little unfair to overly judge them over one mistake. Also, I didn't like the original redesign, but they've toned it down since then and brought it back so they do seem to be corrective.

I feel like the key difference between STEM and software jobs is that STEM jobs are typically niche jobs, but software applies to all fields. Every company can benefit from a good software engineer so there's huge demand for it and I don't

I like Thursday as a work from home day. It's far enough into the week that you're sick of going to the office, and it doesn't connect to the weekend so you don't slack off.

I'm still a big fan of delicious. It's not just having my bookmarks decentralized and tagged, but also since it's easily accessible I can share any tag set with anyone I know. I basically use it as a mass dump of everything I find remotely

Yeah, I shouldn't say "bullet proof". But basically a simple way to not reserve any variable names. You can definitely get around it if you're determined but if you do that you probably want the script to run that way anyways, and that's fi

Ahh, that's clever. Overall I just don't want to tell people what variable names to use, even if they are obscure. At the very least the end developer can use the variable names for everything else other than NaN.

That's true, but I was looking for a solution that could not be tricked by defining a variable on the client side. I know the probability of someone using that particular variable is low, but my proposed solution is fool proof and also simp
