I'm not so sure about that, if I was interviewing someone and they said "I can totally write FizzBuzz in 15 languages", I would take it as a general sign of awareness of the programming community. Pretty much every good programmer I know ha

I think it's a way of saying "I'm not unemployed because I'm incompetent, and I'm not emotionally attached to Python".

My mom did the exact same thing. She wanted to finally get her first smartphone, so she went to Best Buy to upgrade from her crappy flip phone to an iPhone 4, but the sales rep insisted that Android was "way better". She knows how to use a

Incompetent people in the security field really need to be called out like this. Incompetent developers generally only hurt the company; incompetent security professionals hurt every single customer as well.

I get how that works, but how come when you write a check at the supermarket, they can verify whether or not it's good in a few seconds?

Ok so the problem here is not that there is a bug in the payment processing. That shouldn't happen, but it does. The problem is that neither of these multi-billion dollar companies cares about this customer enough to suck up a $4000 error u

Remove the word "But" and it makes logical sense.

Or the simplest explanation is that they wanted people to install Chrome to be able to see it.

That makes sense, I sort of had a suspicion that was the case but it seemed a little weird in light of the "no adult" policy, which in itself seems like an arbitrary decision (disclaimer: I've worked at a porn company, and a couple of my cu

I've been hoping for a .app TLD for years. I'm not sure how I feel about this proposal though, and whether I would prefer it to a traditional registrar. On one hand, the idea of having a claim and needing to maintain it like a trademark is

I think it's also because people really want to be in the game business. It's not quite the same, but when I worked at a porn company most of the non-programmers and non-essential production people got paid really low wages because a) the

Without being a game industry insider, it would seem like the best way would be to use distribution and advertising methods that allow you release a game when it's done . That is to say, distribution methods like Steam or the App Store and

We already use Help Scout for managing support emails, so it would be nice to have the option to forward the contact form requests to an email address instead.

On the other hand, my adult website client loves it.

It was called Shopkeeper, and I don't remember the name of the app they purchased but it was subscription-based (this was long before the in-app subscriptions) and supported more than just Shopify. Developing for Shopify was great. Their AP

Ok, so as far as non-client work goes: The first iPhone app I ever made was a very simple Shopify app for seeing your orders and checking inventory. I dropped the ball on keeping it up to date because of client work and Shopify ended up buy

I don't understand why so many people are upset about this in the comments. Was he addressing you personally?

Oh phew, looks like custom APN settings finally got fixed, meaning you can get 3G data with a GoPhone SIM again :)

I think within 10 years we'll either be using dumb terminals using cloud servers for processing (streaming video ala OnLive), or we'll be using dumb terminals using our phones as the CPU (and using cloud storage). Either way, lots of dumb t

It's funny how we're slowly heading back toward mainframe computing. Granted, they're dynamically virtualized across 48 cores and 192 GB RAM, but still.

There's only one new TLD that we need, and it's ".app". If I had the money, I'd be building a registrar for it right now. :)

I'm not too familiar with ASP.Net, but if you view source on socl.com that is some jacked-up output.

I would imagine if you looked at Facebook's signups shortly after it opened up to the public, it would probably look the same way (if you disregard the college students who were already on there at that point). Just eyeballing the people in

I'm just going to take this opportunity to shake my fist at Internet Explorer, because much of this stuff is useless on production websites (some things are usable with Javascript hacks).

It couldn't have anything to do with being a PHP page on a Rails-centric company's site, I'm sure.

Realistically, I probably would have the same reaction, but just as a thought experiment, what if it was something similar with an off-color (not necessarily outright offensive) slide regarding someone's ethnicity or sexual orientation? I f

This is why I get mad when I see all those super custom pieces in the new sets!
