   There is plenty of value for people who can do both. Or at least most of one and a good amount of the other. I have become a generalist at a company that definitely has distinct frontend and backend teams. I started as backend dev but start

   Yeah, but as soon as they need to bridge the gap, they have to enlist help from someone else. And when they find that person, they have to communicate their needs using voice or text rather than raw thoughts. Need to change requirements? Se

   They pay the taxes for income in the US. This is about foreign earnings. If they stopped selling internationally, would you say it is no longer robbery?

   Hopefully it has good security. Any chance this will become the norm for all states?

   I think the author knows what he is talking about. Journalistic objectivity is about reporting the news without your personal bias. I think you can give your subjective opinion (making predictions, etc) and still have it be considered objec

    Scarborough didn't claim that Romney would win, so I don't see why he would ever take this bet.

    I don't remember apollo astronauts, but Wikipedia does. Hopefully our records will be better preserved than those from the Mayflower.

    I'm impressed. I definitely thought it was hyperbole when Joel said they would carry the fuel if they have to. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4718124

    Amusingly, they use screenshots from Windows Explorer in their patent drawings. See Fig. 1 in the first patent (pg 3) http://www.surfcast.com/images/pdfs/US6724403.pdf The pictures has some funny Drive names: Bambam, Fatbelly, Bigboss, Hu

    Does anyone else get annoyed when replying to threads with multiple people? I always want to reply to the most recent message, but usually someone else responds while I am composing. So I have to view their message and reply to that instead

    Do you have "compact mode" turned on? I mostly like it, except the contact info side bar can cut into my email pane when I dont have my browser fullscreened.

    I am guessing that Zynga games don't have a lot of security, and that a targeted attack would be disastrous to their players and analytics.

    It captures his frustration: arguing with someone, knowing no amount of logic or evidence will change their position. An atheist might say its like arguing with a christian. A pc person might say its like arguing with an apple fanboy. Batma

    So? What would you do about it? It's a risk the "target" won't talk to you, but there is little downside. They might think you are a pushy jerk, but they aren't going to do anything. They will just immediately forget you. If you don't talk

    If you haven't seen acme in action, it is pretty crazy and interesting. Basically it makes heavy use of the mouse, and any typed word can be invoked like a command. Here is a tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M
