Agreed, but a pet peeve is when you ask a question on StackOverflow, and get asked why you're doing it, the answer to which isn't need to respond to the post at all. But they want to know. Fine. Fair enough. So you tell them,

It's obvious the writer of the article felt what he was asked to do was a mere distraction, made obvious by his statement that he would rather go back to "focusing on producing great software" This would have sense if it wasn

The real solution, which decades from now will be the eventual common-place, but no one dares to imaging the possibility today is that when languages deprecate a feature, the compilers deliver code-mods that migrate your code-base perfectly

Not by taking someone's right to free expression. That's not an option only because there's no way to decide who decides what speech is ok. As soon as you go down that road it will eventually get abused. The problem I belie

Sounds pretty simple for about .000001% of users who could potentially use it. The rest would have no idea how to do any of this.

At first I was happy to see this trending as I thought this was going to talk about what I believe. What I believe: The reasons humans are the way we are is because of how natural selection favors survival of those who are better at propaga

I've used RDP based remoting in the early 2000s, with a 28K modem, for development, on my full-time job for six weeks. It wasn't amazing, but totally usable. Even today's tight-VNC at the time would have been unusable.

This argument is silly. How many people are using text-based e-mail clients who are also using etsy? And the article also ignores the problems with the mailto:// link. cmon. The solution likely has more issues than the problem

What you did was a prototype. It's not something that can go into production. Tell your employer that you believe part of the manual effort can be made more efficient via automation. The reason you feel that way is that you've

I personally wish people would not ask that question. Rarely is context required. The question is often very clear. And when one does provide context, the most common response is a value judgement on the question -- "why would you w

My experience on Facebook is the same, but I also have the same experience on Twitter. I follow really smart people who are in tech who have interesting things to say. That's all I see on Twitter.

I think a lot of people have had the experience of giving the right answer and have the interviewer believe it's wrong, whether they are wrong or the interviewee didn't explain it well enough. I've done both. In one case, I

Facebook and/or Microsoft can choose to charge you for their content as well as serve you ads. Serving you ads doesn't exclude you from paying for content if that's that's what they choose to do. I believe there's

I had the same reaction to this when I was told by Microsoft, however this description seems intentionally misleading. Microsoft Support accepts calls for support and bug reports. There's a fee for the support. If it turns out that

I'm not sure this is a good precedent to set. if the eula that you agreed to doesn't allow decompilation or reverse-engineering, then github shouldn't allow it. Conversely, if this is okay to do, then we should be allowed to
