Nope. Could not possibly be further from the truth. Epic level bullshit.

When do we drop the word "stealth"? I think raising a noteworthy funding round and having articles on CNN are both good indicators the startup is anything but.

Is he going to have to tell everyone who uses these affected versions of OS X to run these commands / change these preferences in order to view his site? This is much worse than he expressly states... How many people are going to put

I was more surprised at the incredible amount of buzz generated for Coin as if it were some totally new idea. I couldn't think of the name for most of the morning (Protean Echo,) but I remembered seeing this concept a year ago... Very

They probably have a lot of respect for their tools. Jetbrains has some incredible products. WebStorm, PHPStorm, ReSharper, AppCode, etc. In this case, though, it looks like Jetbrains wrote a plug-in for PHPStorm, and Google is just ment

In the future, you should avoid committing your Parse application id and client key publicly... You don't want other dev's piggybacking on your account quota, though it's not really a security risk by itself. Considering it&

I suggest making the landing page a bit more clear... I sat there looking at the single sentence thinking, "What?" It's not so much a missing link between anything, as it is a way to create visualizations from your spreadshe

Pretty much... but what else can you say? I'm suffering from Impostor Syndrome pretty bad, after moving across the country alone and going from being a big fish in a small pond, to a small fish in a big pond. Every day I am killing my

I would likely have gone over his head to higher management some time ago. The only reason not to is job security, but I swear to you it's better to go out having done the right thing.

I don't see how looking at the old status bar was any less of a context switch. Worse yet, now most modern browsers hide the damn status bar so it's no longer a static fixture. Chrome's status bar is a hover-popup with a de

Embark and HopStop are both Parse-powered apps, which allows them to focus on providing a great UX and not have to worry about servers. Disclaimer: I work on the Parse team. Come to Parse Developer Day: http://www.parsedeveloperd

He did try to play it off as a joke, by editing the post and adding a disclaimer at the top claiming satire.. That didn't work, so here we are.

Wouldn't all of your recipients also need to be using countermail? Email is just not the answer, if you want any privacy at all... We need a whole new communication protocol, or a new platform where people go for ephemeral and encrypt

VB did an incredible amount for the industry, and version 6 is still in use (as are versions of Delphi which I consider very comparable.) Simple interface building, easily comprehensible connections and events, along with an easy build&#x2

This, along with a separate/editable changelog (hidden commit log.) Some people manage a separate private repo, code review things over a period of weeks there, and then make a "release" by doing a single commit to the publi

Each different sharing outlet provides a unique level of anxiety, ease of sharing, ego, and focus. The reason I like the concept of Medium is that it encourages non-attention-seeking people to write publicly about nearly any topic. The ca

A little self-control goes a long way, and the words we use with ourselves are very important. We create our own narrative, and unfortunately a lot of people are oblivious to this. Hold yourself to a higher standard, and you can do a lot

This is a great way to start... A defined schema and very clear and simple requirements, I could dash these off really quickly, and then we could discuss optimization. So much better than asking me to define a join. I miss SQL. http://s

How long have you been programming, and how many jobs have you had writing code in an actual business? Your profile says you're a student, so I'm curious how you can feel justified in writing such a thesis. Personally, after 16 years in th
