   Thanks wired! Your anti-adblock mechanism is my personal best friend as a anti-procrastrination mechanism. Stop browsing around, back to work.

   Why would anbody pay $1/week for reading that article we were click-baited into? By the way, what's the amount Wired would make on ads if I read that article? A few cents? That's probably what I'd pay given a good microp

   Another microbenchmark flamebait on top of HN? Seriously? Those things never describe real workloads - in such a view a Porsche is always better than a truck because it accelerates faster. Tough luck if the workload is shipping 20 tons of m

   I'm a java developer. Why should I look at a eclipse project file? (Ok, as I'm using Idea - why look at an Idea project file?) Those are the internal storage systems of the IDE and I don't care what they use. And I won't

   With a stackoverflow-like system (rating, moderation, editing of questions by moderators, accepted answer) even such questions would be productive. Subjective ramblings would be voted away, answers showing advantages/disadvantages or s

   What would a chrome extension do differently than the existing job forums? Analyze my browsing behaviour? How does it work? Does it work in USA, only? Home page doesn't answer those questions.

   In fact, sometimes I do answer with lmgtfy.com. But in such an answer I always include a helpful answer. Why? - Either they couldn't find it. Then my answer will help. - Or they were to stupid/lazy to search. Then they're n

   Yes, I turn to google as well. That's what over 30 years of development experience give you: You know how to use google to turn up the correct answers. And as I use Java for a living - there's a great decompiler in my IDE. Use the

    I feel StackOverflow is a bad place even as a professional. I don't agree with 90% of "closing" of questions, frequently closing a question is the ultimate upvote. StackOverflow seems to prefer questions that can be answered

    Hmm, isn't that "just" a tiling window manager at the bottom of a few other nice things? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager While feeling the shortcomings of a window system, I never fel

    Use a better algorithm instead of worrying about processor registers. And if you start considering the computer architecture think about caches, memory latency and bursting first. Use a cache-conscious data structure. Optimizing at the regi

    That article is from Aug 2014 and it seemed to be kind of a red herring at the time. However there are several factions (pro- and anti-Microsoft) at work and only time will tell what happens.

    Don't do that. Some years ago I had the same idea and realized something like that with the C-Preprocessor in a C++-Codebase. When did my Todo's expire? AFTER testing, just before a new release. With my idea of exipiring Todos I c

    For those who want scrolling webpages these seem nice. But it's scrolling web pages again, which seem to be all the hype in 2013 just as flash intros have been some years ago. Aren't there any nice templates NOT following current

    I am so pissed about this. Born in 1969 I've been growing up in a Germany where we viewed the U.S. of America as a friend. An example in freedom and democracy where we have had failings of our own. Now it turns out our friend betrayed

    When I read own code that is older than a month or so I'm annoyed because that code should have been a lot better from my current perspective. If this feeling ever stops it means I've stopped learning and stopped personal progress
