Only if you ignore that the 3rd person would get the 0.8 BTC (as long as the scheme goes on). At some point he stops, but how much money he made depends exactly on how many people he didn't pay back. So, in the simplest case: Tim

No, it's not emotion in this case. The paper you linked begins with 100 repetitions of "did you know that the law actually is about children?". To which I have to answer: yes. And more importantly: yes, of course. That (hidin

Given that ActiveX was something that by design wouldn't have worked on non-Windows machines (since it was, if I remember correctly, pretty tightly tied into COM/services stuff) - I'm pretty sure it being open source wouldn&#

If you offer unlimited bandwidth and it's not working out financially, the solution is one of the two: 1. Increase the price for the subscription 2. Remove unlimited bandwidth for the subscription and go back to volume based models It&

Yes, it does. And it allows for shady "install this app to continue"-campaigns to artificially boost downloads of apps so they appear in top sellers - even if nobody is actually using them.

The article is from 2011 and the author apparently (see top comment) apologized and took it from his blog. Also look at Google Code, trac, ... there's nothing "obvious" about the layout, there are plenty alternatives.

Design != good looking. If you look at something and it seems beautiful but not functional, it's maybe good art but it's likely to be shitty design.

Same experience. Wanted to setup a VM with Windows, purchased Windows 8, and ended up with a .exe and no legal way of getting the actual image without already having Windows. It's ridiculous.

Terms of service normally don't override law. So, if there is something unlawful about their behavior, it doesn't matter what they wrote in their TOS. At least in many countries, not sure about US.

For someone who is really waiting for the 0.12.0 release, I hate that they call their blog posts "What's New in Node.js v0.12".

Pretty cool! Does it track dependencies of build steps that have "require"? E.g. if I have a javascript bundle being built using browserify - will it track the files that browserify is loading? Also: Did you consider reusing the G

I can only speak from early teen years looking at computer game UIs. It's way harder to make a UI work in "native" ways than it appears at first sight. Especially if you do very manual rendering instead of relying on float&#x

Let's stay with what he said: > Which it presumably isn't, entirely, but only because nothing is entirely. He's saying that a useful definition of meritocracy does not mean that everyone is only judged by his abilities. He

This! The branding of Bing is terrible. When I see the big picture I always think: this has nothing to do with what I'm looking for - and "what I'm looking for" should be the single most important thing for a search engi

It also should be that outdated information stays available since it's a nice, humbling reminder of where "we" were wrong and learned. Though having a clear date of when it was written helps a lot.

I try to always have a set of at most ~5-6 files I'm actually working on (depends on the kind of work I'm doing but in most cases that works pretty well). I can then use Cmd+1/Cmd+2/... to switch between them which is wa

It's worth noting that ES6 actually does not run without compilation on every browser (and will not for a while) since it introduces breaking new syntax instead of stuff that could be polyfilled. For all intends and purposes it's

I think you are missing a point: US (cloud) companies do business with for example European companies/customers. The leaks suggest that all data a non-US customer stores with them is fair game for being snooped by NSA etc. without any

Read the API docs, only reading DMs needs a special permission, POST direct message only needs the permissions that writing a "normal" tweet would. There's no bug here. Maybe a confusing security model, but no bug.

Your analogy is missing the public interest: the business is the postal office or similar and has all the neighbors mail laying around. Does not affect your point though (still not okay to just announce it to the neighborhood).

The UK is maybe the worst example for freedom (just because they have a tradition of security being more important - it's the country of 1984 and "Brave New World" after all). Comparing America with France and Germany you g

No, "any good OO platform has those problems" is just wrong. Point-like classes without factories or any other BS are alive in kicking in big code bases. And geometry (visualization) is actually an excellent example for where muta
