Any time I come across that makes me respect CMU more, I'm uncomfortably reminded of their continued association with the SEI and CMMI. Yes it came out of CMU, yes it's a cash cow, yes things like healthcare.gov show how CMMI comp

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The context in which the space shuttle program is developed has almost no relation to what most developers face in the software world at large, a fact that the article admits toward the end. L

It's clear from this post and his post on Khan Acadamy, that Bret Victor is uneasy about the immediacy of the recent "Coding Activism" movement and is probably motivated to write these types of posts because some coders takin

I think the conclusion for Java is a stretch as well. Some sort of unit testing is probably standard in BigCo, TDD is not (I'm excluding the 'hot' trend-setting BigCos obviously).

Frankly these types of places have all of my understanding but none of my respect. Outside of Turkey the coffee would probably be part of the core allure of a Turkish restaurant. The irony being that coffee and tea are often complimentary a

made me want to rewatch Antonio Campos's Afterschool, the first feature-length film I came across that tackled the youtube generation. That film is slow-paced to the point of irony given its subject (this video is Crank by comparison)

Both your girlfriend and enraged camel are correct. enraged camel will probably agree that at this stage that talk of government overthrow and revolution is ridiculous--he says as much in his earlier post. Compared to Egypt or Syria the rea

Don't see how the linked protest pics match the title. Also facebook and twitter don't seem to be blocked.

+1 on the self-hosted. A wishlist in silk accompanied by a 2-ton brick of a deal-breaker. You'd think the most solution-starved demographic for chat would be those behind a corporate firewall...

It would be great if they targeted their initial sales towards cheaper markets/countries.

this looks like simplified dilinger.io (whıch i like, thanks joe mccann!)with youtube but without the export options . If I want to include js files it can considerably slow down the "real-time" updating process, no?

thanks. to be clear then, the program is "bad and ill-timed" because there is no educational framework or material ready to support the tablets. so by the time it does start rolling in, there's a danger that the devices will be out-dated.

Seriously, I don't know why exactly but this stuff makes me feel like a dirty utopian hippie despite all the steely-eyed "realist" devil's advocate posturing people can summon. I only wish FirefoxOS devices were around to have been consider

Hmm, how long did you stay in one place? Personally if I ever did this, I think I would want to go places where I could stay several months at a time.

In more depressing news: 60% of cancers may not be due to lifestyle. The correct phrase would probably be "known lifestyle choices". But seriously, shouldn't people be surprised lifestyle only accounts for 40%. What if I rewrote the entry p

In Turkey, this exists and is in my view indefensible in its current implementation. The software folks are grouped in with the electrical engineers, although the cs people will have their own organization soon by the looks of it. There are
