   I'm not sure IBM wants to be a pure services company, in fact, software sales is a high margin business that makes IBM a huge chunk of change.

   Surely the deal could have been announced earlier in the week, if they wanted it to. Some other reason caused them to wait to announce it.

   Node is faster than python, ruby, and php frameworks. Source: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ It's also javascript, (which has some really nice properties, and a few bad ones) and ubiquitous in web developm

   Metro apps that are full screen are a terrible idea. I hate running skype and it taking up an entire monitor (yes, I know about skype desktop, and use it now, but it's not the default). I hate the PDF reader that is always full screen

   I rarely wear a suit to an interview. When I was interviewing for jobs I'd show up in a suit and most developers interviewing me were in blue jeans, or flip-flops, etc. I now dress to be one standard deviation above what the people int

   This SO post is really good, but some of the points made in the post are not very clear. For example, why is arr['key'] = 5; consider bad? I've read the post and the code, but it's still not clear from the example. When

   I'm not sure this would work very well lately. IBM had a series of layoffs and are chasing short term shareholder value.

    Why do you think advertising is socially bad? There are many products I would not have discovered without advertising.

    I agree entirely. I'm particularly disappointed with Isaac, whose response to a proposal for foundation was this https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nodejs/mqSf47HhmyY/m8QpZE9mJ... which he claims it wo

    I really have a hard time understanding what you're trying to say. People are upset that Joyent called him an asshole on their company blog, and things really did get out of hand on github for a period of time (I suspect most of that h

    I think you really should really reexamine the situation that occurred if you think the person "went of of his way to stop an open source contribution that he personally didn't agree with." That is not what happened. Either y

    I tried to find what you are talking about by goolging, and by searching directly at http://5by5.tv/search/results?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=dissertation&... I could not find what you meant, could you provide a link?

    I got a Masters degree in Computer Science and my research focused on software security. I got a bunch of offers to go into security when I graduated. (I decided I was more interested in building things than breaking them and chose a softwa

    I just finished reading the Pragmatic Programmer for the first time and felt that it was pretty much a letdown. For one, it makes a huge number of claims but does not back up these claims by any empirical evidence (even though I think it&#x

    If that's the case, then his paragraph after the graph is not backed up with any data. Instead, to me, it seems like he's trying to justify that statement with a poor microsoft office graph.

    I suppose if you brushed and flossed everyday like you should, you would still have to had the filling done originally? No? I suppose then that you knew you should brush and decided not to (lazy), or you were to young to know better (uneduc

    Do you have any ideas in this space? My wife is a dentist and I've done a bit of work in the EHR space. The real issue (at least it seems to be the issue to me) is people are lazy (or perhaps uneducated) and don't put any effort i

    This seems like it would have some kind of negative environmental impact (although probably minor). I can see not wanting bugs inside your home or workplace, but killing bugs randomly in nature for marketing purposes seems a bit wrong to

    I understand your perspective and realize it's an easy argument to make. I see the same arguments about America's use of the atomic bomb in WW2. There is not much more to say on this topic with two opposing viewpoints :)
