I make more than the average US programmer, don't have a degree, and don't have any student loans to pay off. Most places that "require" a CS degree don't actually, and I wouldn't want to work for any company that is so stuck up in BS burea

You don't "know". You just do your best. How do you "know" you're not just in the middle of a long running hallucination? You don't. You take what you believe to be true and move forward as best you can. Yes, you'll screw up, and yes you'll

no? Yes there's the edge case that isn't covered, of sacrificing the one for the many, but that's a dangerous slope to try and codify. Other than that, how does it not? At each step of your life "now" you attempt to do something that benefi

business is not a zero sum game. Companies in the same space can work together or play off of each other. Also, taking business from a competitor doesn't necessarily harm anyone. Maybe it harms the businesses bottom line but so what? If you

following that logic one should spew out all the thoughts in ones head even if you think they're of no good because they may be of some good to someone. Most people would agree that that's not a good strategy.

The flow does not prevent you from doing things that upset people. It prevents you from doing things that harm others. Rouse all the rabble you want, as long as you believe it will improve someone's / everyone's life.

If people followed that then I'd still be subjected to their stupid statements that do not improve anyone's life.

That assumes that transactions are always processed immediately. This is not the case. Some gas stations, and convenience stores, for example, will wait up to a week before actually charging your card (they frequently just check to see if y

I've had that thought about going to the same old desk writing stupid code... typically just making rich companies richer and not making the world a better place in any way. Totally unfulfilling. BUT.... there's a difference between not lik

I'm fairly confident that this is not a "grey area". When something is specifically prohibited in a legally binding document that you agreed to / signed it is not "grey" it is, quite literally, "black and white". And, as the other posters h

correction: tl;dr get better developers. If your app can't support 6 visitors per second without caching / cdn you're doing something very wrong.

how exactly is this "A reverse kickstarter" No money changes hands in either direction, and nothing actually happens if enough people request something. It's like saying "Come! Shout into this hole." We've placed a microphone in front of it

I worked for a company that was Acquired by Autonomy. They made us fire a large portion of our staff before the final papers were signed so that they could continue with their claims that they never fired people as the result of an acquisit

I can confirm @aptimpropriety's claim after having tested this in bidets in multiple countries. It doesn't matter how high you turn on the water pressure, if you grab a piece of toilet paper afterwards it seems to always find some... remain

Yeah, I'm curious too as to how it stacks up against MongoDB performance-wise and why I'd want to use one over the other.

In the US you don't have to declare income under (i believe) $500 from a single source in a given year. So if you earned 5,000 $1 payments, each from a different source you would have to declare NONE of them. If you earned 1,000 $100 paymen

You should note the very explicit disclaimer at the end noting that this is my personal opinion. Furthermore, the CEO apologized for the incident, and mentions that it happened before. Logically it happened by their own admission (so i'm no

INTERESTING UPDATE: The CEOs comments to his "accepted answer", which my quotes were taken from, have since been removed from the Appcelerator forum. Funny that. ;)

if you followed the story more closely you'd see that there are at least three reported instances, AND a CEO confirming multiple. this should NEVER happen. The fact that it has happened multiple times.... how can you not think that worth a

meh, I don't think this has really got anything to do with "cheap shortcut" methods. this is about broken morals. But, with that said, my impression is that while there are a lot of downsides to using HTML5 for your app, there's a LOT

The idea is nice. I'm one of those few geeks who actually does select text as I read it, but the implementation makes changing highlighted paragraphs non-intuitive. Re-selecting something to move doesn't seem right. This thing has been cr

why not just put them all there and let the user decide which ones they want shown. I mean, it doesn't matter if there's a stumbleupon thing if I never use stumbleupon. Put 'em all in. Make it easy for users to add new ones (or small ones)

I think the name is perfect. It emphasizes the fact that most sites neglect their users. Using this product will reduce the amount of neglect your give them... or so they claim.
