How is that possible since Erlang dates from the early 1980s, and the Rover's OS is from the 1990s?

I first noticed something like this, though I draw the lines differently, in the 1980s. What's interesting is that there has been a shift over the years to where "programming" has come ot have a strong ideological bias to only one type. The

The person they hired couldn't do my job, and the company imploded pretty soon afterwards. They were simply choosing to hire inexperience cheaply rather than build a real business. I think this is a result of the fact that their primary

I became a startup founder when I lost a position at a startup because they hired a younger (cheaper) person. I have 20 years of experience with several patents, etc. Literally we were expanding the team, I interviewed the person, he got th

Basho continues to rapidly add features and improve Riak. I think they're far ahead of the competition. Frankly, I think Riak is the undiscovered gem in the NoSQL space.

I am one of those who started with building a computer from scratch when I was 12ish. By the time I was 18, I thought that I was way behind and needed to learn marketing, business, finance, etc, if I wanted to do startups. Here's the persp

Erlang is a secret weapon. Erlang is never going to be the really "hot" or "cool" language because it has an unusual syntax and that syntax is enough to keep it from becoming fashionable. But this is a feature, actually. Because the really

Erlang has been in production, in mission critical situations, for longer than the world wide web itself. In terms of web platforms and databases, etc, the answer is again yes. For one sampling of one companies clients check out: http://ba

People have been saying that Apple was going down, in my experience, since 1981 with the introduction of the IBM PC. Seriously, in the 1980s it was IBM, Commodore, Tandy, et al. In the 1990s it was Windows. In the past decade every two-bi

The Apple II went on sale in 1977. The Comodore 64, in 1982. So, half a decade later another computer was introduced and you say that he's "rewriting history" to ignore this computer that came so much later? It is people like you who ruin

I think its sad that our society has become so divorced from reality that Uranium- a naturally occurring element- is considered a "crazy" thing for kids to have. It takes huge amounts of uranium and processing and a lot of technology to m

There's an important difference between these two activities. One trains creative thinking, critical thinking, and respect for science, the other teaches teamwork, following orders and respect for authority.

Please explain to me why a bot would click on ads? (if anyone knows) Is it crawlers crawling Facebook? Are they alleging that facebook is doing it to boost revenues? Their hypothesis seems secure, given that you can't really use the facebo

I'm tired of "Stocks are gambling" nonsense like this. Some companies are valued on the fundamentals. In fact the best investment in the world right now is AAPL, which trades generally between 12-14 times its trailing EPS. This recent "

We can't see into the minds of others, and what I've observed is that many of the people who lie, do not even seem to realize they are lying. They don't accept themselves as liars. They twist their view of reality to the point where the s

I think the college degree hiring issue is all about confusing a symbol- the diploma- with reality- having the skills. So, Steve's anecdote is about getting hired by someone smart enough to test him to find the reality. I have similar sit
