Since I didn't have any luck finding an answer to this at Mozilla, does anyone know why McAfee SiteAdvisor is able to automatically enable it's add-on in Firefox? Even after I disable it in the add-ons manager, the next update to

This is one of those real-life-is-this-way kind of things...it's usually hard to change company culture because it reflects the nature or behavior or actions of somebody right from the top. Things won't change unless the person ma

This still doesn't explain why it is cheap -- it's cheap likely because there are not too many steps between the consumer and the producer? And not too much money spent on infrastructure...

As I was reading your comment, I was thinking - "Why not? Why shouldn't advertisers figure out how to advertise in ways that comes somewhat close to what you are suggesting, but make you want to buy before you know you want someth

Seem like souped up hostels -- when you are single, it might be fun living in these kinds of spaces in cities like San Francisco instead of shelling out lots of money on rent for your own private space. Specially if you are in places for s

Sublime's out of the box theme attracted people and it's demonic speed and the Goto-Anything feature got them talking about it. Atleast that is my take.

Keeping the app simple is one thing; but if you want it to also be a design standout, you want to tweak things to be just right and this is a time suck -- the thing he talks about where doing something on one browser to prettify things brea

I second picking up Go first and Rust later (or as an ongoing thing since Rust takes time). I tried both and was quickly able to make use of Go, but had to give up on Rust because the paradigms in Rust are very different from the languages

More financial writing should be like this. The various points of view are clearly presented and explained in proper layman terms and it made for very nice reading.

Actually the article was pretty good I thought in terms of giving simple advice -- it actually said "don't eat too much of bad food, eat more of good food" and it tells what might be generally classified as bad food. It'

I think this is not necessarily right -- the existing technology limits peoples choice and directs them to behave in a certain way sometimes, but it's not like people don't know they are being manipulated or that they are being

AFAIK, Cisco never bought Cadence -- Cadence is an independent company -- maybe they bought some division or subsidiary of Cadence?

I think what you will end up with then is Java? It works everywhere and has features for everything and has support for almost all programming language concepts/paradigms or comes very close. We probably just need to fine-tune/min

Having used Rust for this, what are your thoughts about how Rust fares for such tasks -- is coding this in Rust better than using C; do you think you are having fewer problems in the end-product as compared to if you had used C. What are th

My would-like-to-have in C is some equivalent of D's *Scope Guard" statement ( https://dlang.org/spec/statement.html#ScopeGuardStatement ) -- this will make error handling so much cleaner.

This feels like a feel-good article designed to stem the negativity in the market over oil prices. Who thinks of falling prices as wealth transfer? And the article doesn't even show wealth transfer and instead talks about more consumpt
