I'm not sure I agree with this. Most big software platforms are used differently by different users. They have a wide range of features that most of us don't need (and maybe don't even know exist). What I think ends up happen

I'm a little bit shocked by everyone's reaction to this. It is nothing new for people to spend more money than required to accomplish a task. First class plane tickets. Luxury cars. Mansions. Expensive restaurants. And a million o

Spectacle is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!

This seems pretty cool. Looks like it gives you split DESKTOPS, which isn't quite the same. But I'll try it out. Thanks!

My number one complaint about OSX is also window management. I've never found anything comparable to the way Windows 7 let you use the left/right arrows to line up windows on half the screen. That is the only thing I miss about Wi

I think the stated reason for building a sustainable city on Mars--to ensure that a disaster on Earth doesn't end the species--is a damned good one. The science and other technology that will come as a result of the colonization is jus

If your ultimate goal is to build your own product, then starting a consulting business is a distraction. Maybe it helps to just focus on the goal? How you make money while you pursue the goal is not important. So keep your day job and work

There are many reasons. On a personal level, I believe high income people (like us tech folk) SHOULD help take care of less financially fortunate groups of people. Practically speaking, worrying about health care (and the lack thereof) is t

I worked at an unnamed big company where the interview process involved being interviewed by a PHP expert, a java expert, and a javascript expert. They were surprised when NO ONE ever passed the interviews. Most actual hiring at the company

If I'm understanding correctly, you gave notice. Regardless of slipping production schedules or other issues, you have no responsibility to stay longer than your two weeks. Enjoy the new job!

People seem to have a wide range of reactions to it. I thought Leia was perfect, and Tarkin was in the uncanny valley. But I've spoken to people who feel the exact opposite. Regardless, great movie and the days of CGI characters are de

Whether you freelance or work a more traditional job, in my experience, your future work will come from your network. Is it possible to create a good network remotely? Certainly. But it's probably harder. I think if you're in your

My pool for drawing personal conclusions about hiring is not deep, but in my limited experience (both in hiring and being hired) there are two things that seem to matter above all others: 1) How personably the candidate is. Do you want to w

Despite this happening over and over again, I can never understand the attitude underlying statements like the one this article is making. "A computer will never be small enough to fit in a house" "Man will never reach the mo

Without knowing any details aside from what you provided, it sounds like you are being seriously underpaid.

I've always thought about it this way: A Senior Developer can tackle a large project (alone or leading a team) without technical help. A Junior Developer would need some guidance with a variety of things from choosing tools and approac

In my experience, the most important skill in an engineer is figuring out what to build. Someone's skill at the actual task of programming is trivial in comparison.

"It's a browser based video tool for rapid video creation" What does that mean, exactly? I consider my iPhone a tool for rapid video creation.

I think you could safely add that last sentence to the list of things NOT to say to a spouse.

Sounds like you're conflating a few different things here. I don't know any vegans who are vegan out of fear. Usually it is a question of empathy for animals, or for the health benefits.

I'm going to play the spoiler and say that I think everyone here is on the wrong track. In the short term, yes, I think it will business-as-usual, with some of the ideas being discussed here happening. But think of the transition from

I don't think of getting older as something to "deal with". Maybe if you were a pro athlete, that would be an OK way to look at it. But as a programmer/thinker/business person, I get better everyday. And so do my pe

I don't think it's necessary to emulate religion/church to achieve the desired benefits. People in modern times can self-organize around all sorts of communities. From independent music "scenes", to Hello Kitty conv

Well, in most situations, prices are set IN PART by the market. Usually common decency is involved as well (ie: the minimum wage). I would argue that supporting the arts is important the same way that protecting minimum wage workers from ab

It doesn't matter. Think about this for any other profession. This is the big business version of the craigslist ad asking a graphic designer to work for free "for the exposure".

This is very black and white. This is a great "business" move for apple, but morally reprehensible. This is a big business asking the "little people" to work for free. Completely unfair.

I feel like the real problem here is the same problem that exists in all of these situations where the law hasn't caught up to technology: someone is being made an example of. When a few people pay a huge price for something that &quot
