   Generally speaking, OS X is amazingly bad at all things UI given how good it is.

   Can you explain? I am genuinely curious as two the line of your thoughts now.

   Would the joking intent of the usage of men-centric idiom be more clear if I append "now get off my lawn" to the comment?

   OMG all these macros. It looks more like Python then Assembly. Come on, real men do not use macros.

   As flawed as the interviews are, whatever you do that makes you filter out a person with an attitude of this type, it is probably working.

   I don't understand how it can help if it is just a facade on top the healthcare.gov. Creating alternative sites like this can only create confusion for average users. I don't know their motivation, but the reporting definitely

   You are right. I was a little too annoyed.

    Not even going to click to find out how stupid people are. Did they implement integration with data streams from hundreds of national insurance companies? Didn't think so.

    This is not apples to apples. I actually just went to the site and got a quote. The site works well and I don't want to diminish what they built, but I ended up getting quotes from like 3 different insurance companies. Compare that

    Building _anything_ on that scale is not trivial.

    Opt in or opt out doesn't matter (think average user understanding of what is going on here, really). Things like this just should not exist.

    There is nothing new about this. Putting a proxy into to modify content is as old as the usage of tcp proxies. What is new here is that they have no shame -- I don't expect software from a reputed company to pipe my email through the

    I am speechless. This is like the Facebook Android "hack" of the VM to support their crappy app wanting to use lots of classes, only this one is less offensive technically and more offensive from the security point of view. WTF.

    I don't get it. He got hired? He learned how to do his stuff? If we require people to know how to work right out of college, no fresh grad would ever got a job.

    I think you are missing the point. The problem is that it is just not a good logo. It doesn't mean anything, it doesn't say anything about your company. If you can't come up with a good logo just make your company name the

    I assume the same exact way that the presentation describes? Plus they added a macro you can define to go back to 32bit time_t (which is probably what most app devs did...)

    Funny they don't mention that starting Visual Studio 2005 time_t is 64bit on 32bit builds.

    You can argue with anything if you reduce it to a ridiculously absolutist statement. But the bottom line is that there is a significant gap between the top 1% developer and average "let's see if I can google some code that does

    They do already have that tool, you know? https://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/overview (but I think Upstream has every chance of blowing it out of the water)

    I got excited there for a second thinking that this will be, among other things, a continuous integration tool, but it is not presented as that. Yet?

    Stackoverflow is my favorite example of how crappy I am at predicting things. When Joel announced it, I had 0 doubt that it will be a flop. I think 2 months later I visited it and it was completely clear to me that I was wrong. Rare case

    The write up of the NGQP seems (at least superficially?) weird: they say that the reason for the rewrite was poor performance on a particular artificial benchmark (8-way join.. how often do people join 8 tables in practice?). At the same t
