I agree its much easier to be brave when you can easily afford to lose. Nevertheless, I think this is absolutely awesome. It's like Dirty Harry going off the rails and breaking all the rules for justice. I love it! I'm glad it

Getting an attorney is probably excellent advice, but I don't think it hurts anything to do research on your own as well so that you can get some idea of what the patent is about and whether you might actually be legally infringing. I

I think the author is talking about a very tiny bubble of, not just Silicon Valley, but also further limited to recent grads who are still living the college life and just starting companies. If you limit your world view to that group then

People use the term "financially secure" to mean different things. You can say you're secure because you earn enough to support your current lifestyle as long as you continue to work. That is as secure as most of us get. Bu

That's really interesting to hear the "other side" as it were. I think the US mentality is to simply not tell you anything about the other county so that you don't develop any sort of personal feelings. I was a child du

The funny thing about IT managers is that when you have a decent one, you may be tempted to ask "what exactly do they do all day?" But when you have a bad one, the whole place just goes to shit.

In addition to patent reform, why legals bills are so astronomical? The whole thing stinks.

Unfortunately when automation goes wrong, it usually tends to do too much - double billing, aggressively canceling things, etc. Having built several automation systems that bill millions of dollars, I can say that it's quite challengin

I'm always polite to recruiters and just say I'm not looking right now but please keep in touch. Occasionally someone will follow up with a meeting request and I just repeat the same thing. Usually though they just say thanks an

I kinda thought the same thing and its especially attractive since I've written a lot of C# code. But I discovered that the Mono mobile framework wraps the respective devices UI APIs fairly faithfully - and learning those is the more

Your company sounds like a fun, wacky place to work!

No they don't. The other brands make equal products for similar price, but they also make cheaper products for less money. Bose just doesn't have the cheap product line. You can buy a piece of junk Sony stereo or you can buy an

Hmm, interesting. My wife has a pair of the noise canceling headphones. They seem fairly sturdy to me. Those Sonys are great phones designed to be tough. They're mean to be used in a studio, get sat on from time to time. Have the c

I think that's an accurate observation. Ironically, if you only code with a library then it's easy to lose track of what that library actually does for you. Writing a bit of "raw" code can really make you understand wh

Jellyfish won't be able to give you such a product because they don't exist. Your comment is 100% accurate. Bose is not the absolute best, but the absolute best is 10x or even 50x the price. I would maybe agree that Bose has cul

I don't really understand the hatred because, compared to true audiophile gear, Bose is absolutely dirt cheap. There's a boutique audio store down the street from me that sells RCA cables which are more expensive than a Bose iPhon

Not that it really matters, but since I'm the one who brought it up and your gut was telling you that I'm not likely familiar with compiled languages - I started programming in Pascal and Assembly in the 80's, moved onto Java

Compiled binary HTML seems to me would be the end to the open nature of the web. The fact that anybody can view the HTML source is probably irrelevant from a network point of view. But I consider it a fundamental aspect of the web.

You described in your post an HTTPd process on the local user's machine that will make shell calls to their installed GPG binary. My PHP port merely presents one alternative way of doing that on any system that supports PHP - without

I should add, these are mostly stable companies - not startups fighting for their survival. Generally the larger the company the more stable the hours is my observation.

I think there is a perception of working all the time in the US that isn't entirely true. For one thing people overstate that they're "working like a dog" because it implies some kind of importance. But, as far as actua

Thanks for the opinion. Good luck implementing your crypto.

Allow me to pimp my own lib which might be useful since roundcube is PHP: https://github.com/jasonhinkle/php-gpg I'm working on encryption and signing as well. Key generation would be nice as well. I need a litt

That's interesting, I had always thought of it as more of a celebratory expression rather than "oh my god," which usually indicates shock or sadness.

You may already know this but, I'd say choosing your platform would be a good first step, Ruby, Python, C#, Java, PHP, etc. Then you should've able to find guides of various skill levels from there.

Very interesting stuff. With the crowd sourcing market getting so crowded you really do have to work to get noticed it seems.

It seems like an incredibly odd method for getting used to human interaction. Showing a bizarre staring video instead of actual human interaction. I don't know anything about Japanese culture but just based on whatever random bits I&#

That sounds very similar to what my dad would have done. If you have time to be depressed in your room, then you have time to clean the garage. Not saying that this was a great solution and I certainly hated it at the time, but that'

Avoiding DB work strikes me as not the greatest reason to store JSON in your DB. But I find there are good reasons to do it. The main one for me is when the data fields are configurable by the user. If I didn't want to be constrained

Apple apps are basically just a special folder that contain a combination of compiled files and uncompiled "resources" which can include images and even some of the config files. You can easily browse any native app on a Mac by ju
