It'll be interesting to see if MS can stand strong on no backwards-compatibility. It seems like every time they release something new, by the time it's out of beta it's got tons of compatibility baggage added.

I sometimes get the feeling that traffic signals in my home town (Chicago) are designed to maximize ticket and speed camera revenue, rather than improve the flow.

The theory is that cancer cells develop a protein barrier that hides their anomaly from the immune system. The polio virus is thought to damage that and the immune system thus starts to recognize them as mutated cells. For the patients in t

This does solve a problem, but just not the problem that you are mentioning. It solves Amazon's problem of how to get you to buy more stuff from them. One of the primary rules of running a business is to make it as easy as possible fo

Do those requests show up as coming from China? I thought it was only people outside China who are being giving the poisoned javascript, and the requests are being made on the client-side from them - which would appear to be just random tra

There are a lot of ways to do it as proved by the comments here. My personal move from freelancer to "company" was a slow transition that involved moving away from clients that nickel-n-dime and moving towards those who do not. Fo

Looking at the name of the UI components, that definitely seems to be true, as a lot of them have "ios" appended to the class name. But, even if you're writing Objective C, you might have different storyboards for the phone v

I've heard the term "write once, test everywhere!" But, since testing is actually a good thing, I think the spirit of the quote is "write once, fix glitches everywhere" I am extremely hopeful about React. Even tho

Incredible on iOS. Android support... coming soon! This seems to be the case with a lot of cross-platform development kits. One or the other of the platforms is a second-class citizen. It seems that all of us are salivating at the idea of

I've interviewed before where, once the offer was made, they did want me to decide rather quickly. This was a startup that was reputable, popular and growing extremely quickly. However they didn't make me feel as if I was racing a

I know that calling them recording cartels is making a certain point, but the licensing companies in the US are ASCAP and BMI and they don't really have anything to do with actually recording music. They collect royalties on behalf of

I once spoke as part of a presentation on how response rates from faxes was way higher than email. (which was absolutely true at the time). Probably because of the novelty of receiving a fax vs an email, but it was something like 5% respon

I don't find it that odd to want to see a preview, even though I have a pretty good idea of what it will look like. I've been using this editor for a while http://macdown.uranusjr.com

Agreed, frameworks are tools to be used or abused. The main problem with Joel's analogy is really that factories did not replace hammers. Hammers and factories and everything in between are always available to us.

If Facebook wanted to support it they would probably just implement a standard proxy server that would be more efficient. If anybody can handle the traffic it would be Facebook, but I bet their chat services are not really tuned for this k

At our company we have "call to action" cards but we just call them flyers. Ours are actually in the design of poker playing cards. I do find myself rarely passing out my business card for work-related stuff anymore, and half the

I think the problem is that NoSQL has been the cool new thing, which causes people to use it without really understanding why it is better/worse than other solutions. Tools like MongoDB can do things that are extremely difficult or imp

I don't know about React native, but I used Titanium for a while and this looks very similar. The biggest conceptual difference from what I can see is that Nativescript allows you to make calls to any native API method. With Titanium

Some programmers want to draw a line in the sand and say that on this side is "my" code and the other side is acceptable third-party code - without really considering each project itself. Frameworks are really just a collection of

Congrats on finishing and launching your product! Not to rehash everything that has been said already but, you can tell this was designed by a programmer because we love abstracting things. It's not a bad thing, but it's impossibl
