1) argue that non-power uses will love the text-based interfaces 2) support your claim with a bunch of examples from software development workflows. Sigh.

I think the fact that my useless inflammatory comment didn't get immediately downvoted to hell is proof that I'm right!

Never used Fogz, but Atlassian products are so astonishingly bad that it is hard to find anything about them inspiring.

OK, I'll admit, I haven't been following what is going on with Twitter, but come on people, their product is limited to 140 characters. Surely they have something to fix.

I work a pretty regular dev job (database analytics/reporting tool essentially). I of course never have to _invert_ binary trees, that's a pretty artificial example, but I had to write a method for pretty-printing tree structures

Yes, the thing I hated the most about my Google interview experience was that there was no discussion whatsoever of my previous projects. But there was the question "What would you like to do?" and I realized later that I should

The experience of dealing with Microsoft's support sounds exactly the same as what I had to deal with. In my situation there was no workaround possible short of rebooting the system (it was a kernel resource leak), so after spending 3

So I guess this is when libertarian says: if only there was no state to help stupid corporations enforce these ridiculous restrictions on their customers!

Ah, but you can't publish benchmarks about any of the RDBMSs for adults (Microsoft and I think Oracle too) as per their license agreement. So never expect these types of articles to have any substance.

Sigh. It's about as profound as writing an article on whether Linux vs Windows -- which one is a better OS? I skimmed the article for some reason and it is full of questionable statements. One thing that jumped out at me is the par

This is the funniest video I have seen in my entire life and I saw some pretty damn funny videos about llamas.

I just realized that the stupid "Let It Go" song is probably sponsored by Google. Everything makes sense now.

It is not entirely clear what is the risk of this strange scenario involving a grandchild process and pids wrapping around in an alarmingly quick way.

His article starts with "Imagine you are a brand new Porsche". When I interview a person who thinks of himself as a brand new Porsche, no matter how much I try to compensate for my knee-jerk reaction, i most likely raise the bar

There is a silly Russian saying which school teachers usually use on that really smart asshole kid in the class -- "a fool got blessed by smart head". Somehow reading this made me think of that. Also think of the environment, how

Reading people compare Swift to other languages is pretty hilarious. OCaml.. Haskell.. CoffeeScript.. Ruby.. Go... Kotlin... JavaScript.. Scala... No one is saying it so I will: It looks like damn Java 8. It is probably not a good sign th

I agree that promising any bug fix for free is silly and not necessary. If you want to demonstrate good will, you can at your own discretion not charge them for your moronic bugs, the ones where you go "oh fuck this is embarrassing&qu

This reminds me of the great transformation of Drum Hill Rotary into Drum Hill Square: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Drum+Hill+Rd/@42.6225607,-... The resulting design is ridiculously confusing and unintu

Is there any argument in defense of the TLS heartbeat extension? It seems completely inappropriate thing to stick into TLS (wrong level of abstraction), and the idea of sending any kind of payload as part of heartbeat seems completely redu

I watched the video. I don't understand what paper is. Actually, the only reason I watched it was because I somehow confused myself into thinking this was Amazon. When I was done with the video, I finally realized this is Facebook and
