Unless the devs in question are building trading algos or other front-line work the bonus isn't often much more than other industries. The idea you're going to get a 100%+ base salary bonus when you work building order resolutions for a T2

The frequency and depth of archive combined with non-visible spectrum records mean Landsat is great for monitoring changes over time over large areas. One of the best uses I"ve seen is monitoring forest clearing and burning in the Amazon.

I think a lot of this is more that apple doesn't give a damn about reuseability, they care about perfection. If the promo after father's day has an image that goes over the border by 3px, they'll write it from scratch.

Why would you go through the hassle of trying to anonymously buy bitcoins with cash so it's not traceable when you could just send the cash? Unless you have mined your own coins there's no anonymity to be had via bitcoin. In fact using bitc

Github is providing a space where women can store code they're working on and get feedback from select peers before releasing it publicly and they're being vilified for it? This is absurd, I've done exactly this with every piece of code I'v

I think the project you're looking for is Topaz, which has a close ecosystem relationship with PyPy: http://docs.topazruby.com/en/latest/blog/announcing-topaz/

Isn't the question more 'how many dev teams contain frustrated devs that would be happier using git/mercurial but are forced to use git/mercurial?',

The only firm that I'm aware of that actually trades on twitter data is Derwent Capital Management. Strangely for a company that claims to be sitting on a crystal ball for the markets they've chosen to provide a platform for others to trade

So a single tweet's analysis will be inaccurate, but an aggregation of many inaccurate results becomes meaningful? Obviously you can find interesting trends in large pools of data but how do you find an interesting and valid trend in a larg

Pick a random tweet from a public hashtag. Put aside all knowledge you have of major sporting events, news & current affairs. Pick how 'happy' it is from 1-9.

That very article points out the best coverage of the trial has come from the Guardian, the second largest paper in the UK and now one of the largest by uniques in the world.

Every time I hear someone say that democracy won't suffer as professional news orgs fold and that bloggers will fill the void I think of stories like this.

Linkbait. There is nothing specific in this to 787 flights and no airline is actually banning passengers taking laptops etc or even saying they are thinking about it, it's just some airlines looking at not carrying batteries as cargo.

I cannot take seriously a programming language popularity index that states that Javascript has become significantly less popular in the last year. I'm no fanboy but given the sheer weight of evidence from language activity on sites like gi

Rackspace email. Equally good experience IMHO, absolutely fantastic support, $12 a year per mailbox. Best purchase of a web service I've ever made. Your email is the skeleton key and core of your online existence, that's far too important t

I'm pointing out Apple have a long history of doing this with Revision A products, which the Retina MBA is. It's not new, it's not unusual and it shouldn't be unexpected.

Revision A Apple projects have had issues for as long as Apple has been making products. Second gen Macbook Air's had Logic board issues, 2007 era RevA Macbook Pros had video card issues, dodgy graphics cards on the early Mac Pros, the iPh

I couldn't agree more. Serious data journalism is essentially a subset of investigative journalism and it really takes a team - qualified statisticians, domain experts, journalists and visual designers.

I do what you're describing, as a community it's a real mix of backgrounds. Personally I think you're best off looking for someone with an editorial background and a willingness or interest in the technical side than the other way around, a

I understand node is quite good at those scenarios but is there any real advantage over say Ruby/EventMachine or Python/Twisted or if you're serious about it scaling, Erlang/OTP? Evented systems are great for those scenarios but I can't wor

As a developer I think the stats that matter are % of web traffic and app sales, which at least from the last I've seen dramatically lag total android handset sales. That may change but my anecdotal experience are that a lot are sold as upg

I'm finding spideroak superior to backblaze - it actually backs up my entire system rather than skipping /Library & /opt and allows me to backup external drives without needing to have them constantly plugged in. I think the pay-for-wha
