I found myself wanting to read a lot of those articles... success!

I haven't read the book, but this article doesn't really say anything that any clear-minded open source advocate didn't already know. Outside of certain dogmatic circles, it's become pretty clear that the future of open source development i

That's pretty much how mine works as well. Once things start accumulating to the point where I don't even try to get it down for a few days (200+ messages), it pretty much means that I'm not in control at the moment. Conversely, actually ge

I agree, and will also point out that the referenced site ( http://readthefuckinghig.tumblr.com/ ) is terrible, IMO. Does the holier-than-thou author not know how to use the fucking shift key?

From the Wired article: Much of it is likely attributable to Twitter’s general counsel Alexander Macgillivray. As security and privacy blogger Christopher Soghoian notes, Macgillivray was one of the first law students at Harvards’ Berkman

Depends on what your definition of "obsolete" is. Even if they release a new one, it doesn't instantly cause all of the older ones to stop working.

It needs a different antenna configuration for CDMA, so I'm guessing that it doesn't support GSM.

But using introductory programming courses as an example of writing real-world code would be a huge mistake. Most of those assignments in my day were almost trivially easy for someone that actually understands the material (and almost impos

My guess is that if a company is willing to sponsor specific development, he is willing to negotiate. I.e. fee-for-service to some extent.

I think that without macros, any language claiming to "replace lisp" is only doing so superficially. EDIT: Just to clarify, I don't think the Haskell designers are claiming that it "replaces lisp," just that this blog entry does.

Yeah, he still sounds like an arrogant douchebag, he's just on the other side now.

I love thinking on paper. In this case, I’m not going to go back and edit this entry so it looks like I had it all along. No, I’d rather show you my thought process. Actually, I'd rather read a well-thought out argument that has been edit

It's not even remotely close to as complicated as C++.

Have you used Windows 7 Starter on a netbook? Two words: just horrible.

Um, OK. Yeah, Computer Science programs have courses in languages. It's pretty standard.

by hvs 16y ago
I agree. In pretty much all of my theoretical computer science courses, whenever it came to the math there always seemed to be a lot of hand-waving and noise, but not a lot of content. Some were better than others, but when I consider some

That's also one reason classmates.com never caught on in the U.S. They charged to do anything interesting on their site (plus it was ugly). One thing to take away from all of these examples is that just having an "idea" isn't enough. You ha

Hey TechCrunch, the next time you complain about how the "mainstream" media doesn't take blogs like yours seriously and doesn't consider your writers journalists, you can look at your handling of the Delicious story as an example of why you

Windows 7 uses the GPU for its interface, so I'm guessing it is smoother than Android.

The Samsung Captivate (AT&T's Galaxy S) is very well made and still very thin.

Two paragraphs per page and six pages? How about: "No more submissions from itpro.co.uk and any other sites that are obviously just advertising sites."

Personally, I'm loving Pinboard. Anytime I hear "plugin" for things like bookmarks, I think "well, there's something I'm going to forget to reinstall sometime".

It costs a lot of money to convince a CEO to come to a failing/faltering company. EDIT: I'd just like to add that I think the letter itself is very well written and surprisingly heartfelt.

I'm a huge fan of Erlang (hot-swapping code for the win!), but this is probably my biggest peeve with it.

It's a fair argument, although I feel that most APL programmers would have noticed that a lot of languages share those characteristics now, but if it gets the job done, great. I was kind of hoping for a more technical discussion (with code

These lists always bother me because the one characteristic the companies listed always seem to share is: "It's a big corporation with thousands of employees". Precisely the one characteristic that immediately takes it off my list of "great

I don't think "morality" is equivalent to "processor".

Except that wildlife is a limited resource that needs to be protected from poachers. It's only like piracy if you think there is an unlimited supply of wildlife that anyone should be able to take as they like.
