Yeah, that's bullshit. I'd gladly pay for a maintenance release with only bug fixes considering the quality of the latest versions has tanked. I've already done it for the last two version of PHPStorm (each which has been mor

Also, it doesn't support all the plugins for each language, only some languages.

Wow. This is terrible. I'm a user of a few of their products (PHPStorm, PyCharm, IDEA, and RubyMine), two of which I've paid for and gotten upgrades for in the past on a fairly regular basis. I've extolled Jetbrains and prais

If you're not aiming for a billion dollars (or even hundreds of millions) in a software business chances are you don't have to raise VC money so none of the above matters. I think that's the main point of the article.

I see meaning (and really consciousness itself) existing in a similar way that software exists in relationship to hardware. There is little meaning in the physical hardware itself, none really that we can experience directly as humans. Neve

Without proper tools in an environment I can't think in with someone literally breathing down my neck (or on the other side of the phone line). Yeah, I am upset because I can't think in those conditions and neither can most people

It's not skepticism when you ignore evidence.

So the US being the largest consumer of market for bottled water proves that certain people's tastes are so damaged that they can't tell the difference between tobacco and marijuana smoke? How does that follow and what the hell ar

You haven't provided any evidence to support your viewpoint that it does cause cancer so whatever you deduce through "rational thought" is meaningless.

So let's throw out the hard scientific evidence you don't like and substitute "rational thinking" instead? I think you were born in the wrong century.

This is a myth. Smoking marijuana might actually be negatively correlated with lung cancer for long term users. Regardless, it's certainly not associated with increased lung cancer or increased risk for COPD. You and others who are mis

I'd hardly call it proper. You're asked to code some stupid problems in a Google Doc (which is extremely bad at handling code), while the other person's waiting around on the other line impatiently, asking stupid questions li

It's too bad they don't allow regular candidates this path of bypassing their atrocious phone interviews that ask you to write code in Word (lately) while someone sits huffing and puffing on the other wait impatiently. That's

Even the startup scene in SV/SF is so huge, this is not a problem unless you do something notorious / egregious (like crash and burn your Ferrari into the CEO's office) and even then, people will forget in a few months. Total

Some psychologists consider burnout to be depression, not just depression-like. In my own experience, I'd have to agree. Luckily it's generally brought on by stress and most people recover within weeks or months if they are able t

"Pull up a chair, grab the popcorn, and settle in. You’re not gonna believe this…" Actually, I'm not surprised. Paypal has no incentive to resolve disputes or stop fraud. Every company has a limit over which they will intent

The most plausible explanation is that their content filtering system is just badly written and obviously can't discern between spam and real-life input, despite all usage patterns, history, and content pointing to a human. Whatever th

They use a similar trick in Hangouts where one cannot delete multiple conversations, only one at a time. Not sure what the motive for that is other than pissing people off which is mission accomplished. Regardless, UI like this that tricks

Sounds like a lot of marketing speak from a site that rewards a lot of review writers like myself with censorship. Once they started censoring my honest reviews, I realized the site's information was no longer useful and generally, thi

I think MacPorts is a much better tool than Homebrew with way more useful packages. It also installs itself into /opt/local by default so it doesn't conflict with other stuff in /usr/local and for actual OS X or X-W

I think the disease model is the primary model of addiction in the US because it helps relieve the stigma and hate of the rest of society against addicts, not because it's an accurate model. It's popularized by 12-step programs a

Anyone that buys the argument that we need back doors for encryption to stop crime is an idiot. Crimes were solved before cell phones even existed, proving that backdoors into software are not needed to solve crimes. I'm sure the admin
