Looking at their raw data, it looks like there was a total of 718 respondents ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Km9bsx0SWPDiOPMYvrem... ). Large enough sample to be ultra conclusive? Not really, but I think

"Weaponized OCD" is my new favourite way of describing bad code reviews.

As for people taking things too personally (you or otherwise): talk to your team members. Let them know that you perceive their comments as harsh. If you can't come to a consensus about tone, content and voice, then code reviews will a

There are a ton of reasons. For example, it could just be that ML is not your business. If you're a image hosting platform, you don't necessarily want to build your own NSFW image checker. There's no harm in leveraging someth

With automatic provisioning/specific profile mode, they definitely removed a lot of the sharp edges when it comes to provisioning, but they also removed all of the flexibility. It definitely feels like Xcode on training wheels with no

As much as I disagree with the author, the reason why RMI is brought up is to highlight the next point of "Silicon Valley Hates / Ignores Politics". I think the difference in applicability is understood, otherwise this would

It's not that you have less context, as much as you /need/ less context. Instead of a few extra words to describe something, you get a different character. Here's a great example of how in writing you can disambiguate &q

The way I see it is that it boils down to: how likely will the employer greatly surpass your asking price? If the likelihood is low, you should lead. If the likelihood is high, then you should let them lead. In my opinion, with negotiations

It depends what kind of recruiters you use. At the end of the day, the company that hires the recruiters (whether they're in-house or an external company) should be fine tuning the recruiter's filtering system. With enough patienc

Is that... normal? 2350 feeds seems like an astronomical amount of news feeds. Can I ask how much of that do you read?

"Wired doesn't care about you." isn't true at all. Just because a person who is blocking ads may not generate any revenue directly, they may share the article with someone who doesn't block ads. Losing 20% of their

A few of us on a team started using Triage. We included our work GitHub and someone added a private Stripe account... then we found out that all of the accounts are accessible by everyone sharing the same work e-mail suffix. Can we unlink a

One of the biggest detriments to interface builder is the lack of code review. If you're a solo developer, you can maybe get by without this... but for a team that actively follows a code review process, nib files are black boxes with no se

Unfortunately not. You can only upload 5 images per device type (iPad / iPhone) and one description. In theory, you can play the language game and change your descriptions radically based on language, however that's not exactly a valid expe

That would lead me to believe that it's 'Tesseract OCR, but in Javascript!'. I think a more substantial name change will be required because of how prominent Tesseract is.

What about the mention of how long it took for 2.1 and 2.2 to actually roll out, after their official releases? I know in Canada, we were delayed for several months as Rogers and Telus took their sweet time pushing the upgrade from 1.6 to

Either way, it'll be a great learning and prototyping tool. Not to mention it's great to see some interesting web development tools that offer a little more than code completion/syntax highlighting. Hopefully Adobe carries this through to

It's not always as easy as dropping support for older devices/OSes. When you have to support older systems (for client requirements, as an example), it goes from a "tiny bit of extra work" to "a tiny bit of work and a whole lot of extra te

My review: 1) As you already know, landing on the page is very harsh. The very first thing I saw when I arrived at the page was a popup that asked me to sign in with Twitter or Facebook. I didn't really read the title or the text; I immed

Without complicating the service at all, I would love to see Dropbox integration. We use Dropbox for all of our shared files and being able to go from: Whiteboard->Email to Service->Dropbox immediately would be amazing.

I find that most, if not all, of the shortcuts on a Mac are confusing. Sure, the icons don't help, but it's even worse when there's no visual indicator. To this day, I still don't properly remember how to take a screenshot even after using

Yes, the point of Gitbox is to hide the details but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've had to teach plenty of people how to properly merge files using Git and no one has ever said "oh that makes sense". If a tool can hide the uglines

Memset (according to the c++ reference) is supposed to: "Sets the first num bytes of the block of memory pointed by ptr to the specified value (interpreted as an unsigned char)." So, give it a pointer to some memory, give it a value and the
