What does this even mean? Most Android tablets are cheap video players sold in China. It's great that Android is enabling these devices to be built, but comparing the revenue of low end video players with iPads is nonsensical. Android

I don't see why those things require blurred boundaries.

There is no outrage at the technology or the idea of being able to work when you want. There is outrage at an advertising campaign that celebrates being distracted by work from important family events.

How is this post about working remotely being the best situation for everyone? How is it linkbait?

Perhaps they should rebrand it, "Office Eternity".

If you're a 'Go-Getter', you've probably already recognized that your boss's lack of planning will impede your fast-track career. How are you planning to unseat him or find a new boss who can help fulfill your ambit

No. They are being criticized because they are trying to persuade that it's good for bosses to demand that people work instead of paying attention to their families in order to sell tools that allow people to work anywhere to corporat

Is that realistic state of affairs something you love, and should be encouraged, or would you rather have clearer work life boundaries so your wife could also choose to spend time with you without worrying about work?

A client driven business doesn't have to give in to every demand any more than a product driven one does. David's contention is ultimately that work-life boundaries can result in better work than simply being on call at all times,

Have you not considered the possibility that many people here actually do already understand what the argument is, and have already investigated the costs and drawbacks for themselves? If so, it seems as though you're simply hiding a p

The headline is provocative, and certainly not absolutely true. It would be better phrased as 'Why mongodb is unsuitable for most use cases'. However she then wrote a full piece justifying her position. We might disagree but she

They have to support the iPhone because it's almost half the smartphone users in the US. They don't need to support the iPad because they don't think of it as an important platform.

Her dismissal is anything but quick. It's a carefully crafted argument which deserves real rebuttal. I'm not in any way trying to bash mongo. I have a consumer facing production that has been running it since 2011 without great

It makes sense, although Sarah seems to suggest that any linking between documents will lead to the problems she describes. I am willing to accept that for a sufficiently stable set of 'documents' this might be surmountable, but

This isn't meaningful - you have simply affirmed the consequent: "As noted by many, the fact that the creative output of individuals can currently be owned has rather large drawbacks." I know this is your belief, but you have

So by need you mean "want". I said nothing about ideas. That is a straw man. I am not presupposing the conclusion. I recognize that developer's rights are artificial. I also recognize that money is artificial as are all pr

The normal sense of 'need' is that a person will die without something. You might be thiking of the word 'want'. You keep saying 'the world does not owe you a living' as though it means something relevant to t

What's your definition of 'need'? If your belief system relies on not compensating other people's hard work, then it is destroying the social fabric of society. By not acknowledging software as property, you are entrench

Titles are written by editors not the author. The are intentionally linkbait.

If you're right, it would be helpful to point to an unambiguous description of what constitutes the kind of 'document' that mongo is suited for, and what does not.

If anything, I'd like to see more 'why I wrote X in Python', and 'why I wrote Y in Java' pieces. I suspect in many cases the answer is 'because I've invested time in learning it' rather than technical
