Stock price is his comparison. His point, is that, Balmer let apple and facebook overtake Microsoft when the market was equally fertile for any company to explode. But what did the aftermath look like for Microsoft? Positive enough to adjus

Microsoft saw social and search and thought, "we must create our own!" While apple saw social and search, and said, "that's not our market, let's have google handle that for us." Edit: Apple did acquire ping, b

Creds: I'm Austen's cofounder/ we met in Ukraine. This is very true, and I do see a lot of missionaries return and jump into summer sales and do quite well. But there's that side where you just gotta keep going, always t

If you were able to break into Valve because they failed to secure some login, and as a result got access to their Source Engine. Would $500 be enough to silence you?

It's a technical debt metaphor. Myself and the company I work for have all learned the caveats of bootstrap and how to hack through them. Now it's happily sitting in most, if not all, of our projects. It just doesn't make sen

I think this is cool, so I say good job on that front. But I kind of feel like you're trying to introduce yet another low end sedan. There's already hundreds, and I've already purchased one. It's gonna take at least a fe

I just approached a problem with tagging about a week ago and wanted to use postgres arrays, but the problem was, I felt like adding proprietary components to ActiveRecord killed the flexibility of my app. Meaning, I'm 99% database agn

Go-lang really killed it on this front.

There's been a few articles like this recently. The problem is, it's so easy to flip a world like "request" to "tell", or drum up a government looking document asking for xyz. There's just no way to determ

I've been meaning to ask this for a while now: what's the appeal of Haskell? It doesn't come off as a pleasure to program in. Could someone who knows the language share their thoughts?

I guess it wasn't so stable after all.

I'm sorry, but I feel like these could have easily been made up.

That's really not necessary to say.

Because the user is as of now "2 hours old" and so is the link. And if that user has been lurking, that's fine.. but this is something I've been noticing a lot recently. Is there by chance some loophole in the frontpage

OFF TOPIC: What's the purpose for everyone making a new account to submit a completely random link, especially when anonymity isn't important?

I see it the way you do. I mean, it's not like we have 136Mbps pipes connected to our houses (with the exception of google fiber), but even if someone did.. most public facing servers will be limited to 100Mbps anyways.

I too would love this, but I think it's not going to happen until 1.0 official/ ember data stable. It's really hard to pitch ember as a viable framework until it becomes stable. The closest thing right now, though, would be D

Because this is a site dedicated to programming and programmers' news. I can understand the NSA spying on its citizens being a relevant topic for this site, but now that the only thing keeping the news 'breaking' is his fligh

I've dealt with many people who say they're 'technical' and 'work with programmers' only to have them say, "Hmm.. let's change this module to this side, and then add this functionality." not know

You know, the same is to be said for everything we do as programmers. Every new thing we build is not lost, but it will become obsolete. My take-away though, is that Steve saw this as a great opportunity to never rest, but continuously lear

This was a pleasure to read. I really think this is the most intelligent solution to older rails projects. It's also an eye opening topic for all startups out there, including mine, that rely on rails -- you will need to fight to keep

It's true. Greek, Roman and other works were often painted bright colors to give them the appearance of life, but have either faded with the years, or removed for political reasons. We still have beautiful and colorful egyptian sarcoph
