What's rather surprising though, is the speed of it. Sure if you like everything right you will eventually hit the limit. However, it happened in 1 day ! Facebook is supposed to be this big brother that knows everything you like, knows

I think you misread it. "Programmer/Analyst II" is the exact same job in term what you need to do as "Jesus Saviour Software God", it is just less paid. You should read parent as are you looking to be a loved progra

Well that's the transition period still. Either you own your share of means of production that sustains you or you don't and you starve to death because there is literally nothing you can do. I enjoy a good distopian novel as the

IMO it depends a lot on the timescale. Give it 100-200 years and all the positive scenario are the likely outcome. In 200 years, people will only have hobby because that will be all they have to do and most of their needs have been automate

That's Wired editing. They wanted a BMW vs Tesla ( see "Range-Handicapped i3", "Epic Road Trip" ) while in reality, BMW just came up with a small charger to improve the current non-Tesla grid. The rest of the articl

If you ever have had a LPG car, you are already used to that kind of things. I owned one in the past and crossed the border between 3 countries everyday (Europe ...) - so I had 2 different adapters in the car always.

iTunes sync via wifi those days, backup is done on iCloud. There is not that many reasons to plug a cable other than charging nowadays.

Well older people like a larger screen. The iPad is nice to provide your family with a Skype/Photo station, a easy to use browser and some small goodies ( whatever apps, or books ) Around me (lots of expats with kids) the iPad is a kil

The problem is that the pattern that are being discussed ( or a pattern in general, that's far from limited to OO ) are applied by a team of dedicated developer, combing the code meticulously, generally with near-limitless budget. You

You need a certain level of arrogance to think that you are right despite everybody thinking you are wrong. If you are threading new ground, you need it to succeed. For example, all those startup creators are arrogant. They think their idea

The flip side is that when you don't have parents to fall back the risk level of all your actions become higher, and that will limit you in other ways. For example, I emigrated in another country. Knowing that if I failed, I could go b

The reverse is true too. If a fresh graduate is moaning about us not using GIT directly in the interview, I may wonder how that guy will turn out. Not even a single day of work under his belt and he already is either afraid to move out of h

Seems like those days, if they haven't received press release and a press package the only thing analyst can say is that they are puzzled. Thankfully in a few weeks it will be time for the annual batch of rumour about the next iPhone.

The fear comes from being able to buy a relatively cheap 3D printer at Walmart, download a firearm template and build yourself a firearm that way. Manufacture of a weapon may require the same skill using lathe and other machining tools but

The other 9 either try and try again until they are wasted. The other just fall back on regular job, like what happens for developers when they tire of startup. About the priorities, the problem is the brainwashing and easy money that lead

He still has to pay a developer license to get it on the iPhone, that seems fair that he tries covering third party costs. Putting non-obstructive ads with a paid option to get rid of them is very mild: more like putting google ads on a sid

No need to be skeptical - that's logical, why use a foreign country as your main provider, especially a country you are not always in agreement with. The larger question though is if that is beneficial for the market as a whole. The id

That's what's keep people in those "boring" jobs rather than taking risk when they are around 30-ish. That's a great misconception about the social net. It is considered a socialist idea, but really it has its place
