   No, it's not. Not even close, and this is really terrible reporting. It's unfortunate that so many young people are carrying large amounts of student loan debt, but there is no sign of a "bubble" bursting any time soon.

   It's worse than that. He links to a set of benchmarks to demonstrate that rails is slow without even considering the caching utilities that rails provides. Who bases their sole criterion for a web framework on speed, and then ignores

    I once worked on a project with 10 years of legacy code that entered into a partnership with IBM. We were required to audit every line of code used in the project, and state whether we owned the code, or if the code was open source, what li

    Disclaimer, I know the Xamarin founders. That being said, I haven't used Xamarin, but I was impressed to see that rdio uses it. Previously, I had assumed that the point of Xamarin was a way for C# developers to make iphone apps. Howev

    If you don't like working with Linus, the answer is simple: Fork his repository and work without him. He encourages you to do this. He publicly states that people give his fork of the Linux kernel far too much authority, and he even

    Have you ever tried watching James Burke's "Connections"? A lot of facts are wrong, and connections are weak, but it's still more entertaining and educational than 99% of the stuff out there. I could say the same thing

    Maybe the new people can make an iPhone app that doesn't crash every time I try to use it, and lets me message people who bid on tasks? The web version works fine, but the mobile version has serious issues. I'm almost certain that

    Thanks for pointing this out. I could't get through the fold/unfold interface, or the biased overgeneralized writing. So the tldr; "I have a lot of bitcoins, which are now worth something, so I'm going to give some of them to some people w
