I maintain a codebase that is about 300KLOC C++ and about 900KLOC Java. Abstractions become important at this scale. We follow a simple MVC principle, C++ side is model, JNI-glue is control, and Java is view. Then, individual pieces are bro

If you're good at interacting with people and a computer science major you do have an edge over most computer science majors:-) Perhaps you can minor in business or other area and see whether that helps with your job prospects better. I thi

Nice! It sure does sound like a nice app. Congrats. BTW: Does the iPhone app syncs using mobileme (or at least automagically) or do we have to manually open both apps and sync (Things-like syncing)?

Same here. Good one to monitor user interaction and flow in real-time. I also like the replay.

@Werner: Darn, someone figured out that Dynamo is a flawed architecture. Luckily its only use is storing hundreds of millions of shopping carts :-)

"But that openness stands in sharp contrast to arcane U.S. immigration policies that discourage young scholars from settling in the U.S." I am an immigrant. Whether I am a "scientist" is debatable but the above statement is disingenuous. I

I was confused too. Looks like they already have a technical co-founder there; why another? Is he leaving the company?

Nothing wrong with comparing against a single benchmark, regardless of how good/bad the benchmark itself is. On the other hand, how would you have gone about measuring the security of browsers in a meaningful way?

One thing I'd prefer is dropbox using _my_ S3 buckets so irony rely on them only for syncing. What are the economics of such an approach?

I wonder if the C/C++ code compiled with LLVM/Clang would make a dent in the run time?

I voted up and would do so multiple times if I could. I don't like those slideshow sites that want you to login either or those embeddable slides! They all break page on the web, IMHO.

Funny how the company's employees need to fill in a pile of paperwork and wait for a month before they can buy/sell anything but the same rule doesn't apply to the company itself.
