I only recently started playing Go and the similarity that you point is fantastic. Take the opportunity to polish your skills and make your "opening game" as perfect as you can make it Yep, exactly what I've been doing. If

This is an actual interesting problem that takes skill and knowledge to solve and it actually produces immense business value too (at least for Github). This is the kind of stuff more software engineers should be working on. I'm dying

It's in development at a university that's known for its computer science research and work: http://www.inria.fr/ For example, Facebook has partnered with the university and it's also the birthplace of the OC

Because there's already enough loopholes for you to use if you really don't want to show your income to the government? I'm not sure what exactly this kind of tracking helps with; it would be nice if they had more examples or

Unlike BitCoin or cash payments, Taler ensures that governments can easily track their citizen's income and thus collect sales, value-added or income taxes. Taler is thus a currency for the mainstream economy, and not the black market

That's a good point; and it should have been an obvious avenue for Groupon to serve those customers.

I've heard from business owners/clients who try "group" discount services, but walk away feeling that it did little to help their customer growth long term Sales and discounts aren't a good way to increase custome

I did that at my first full-time development job. There was a 50 line method to refactor and it was making calls to some other methods so I printed maybe 5-6 pages of code. It helped to get away from the computer because I could focus only

Depending on the team you can get away with some of these. Have a manager/PHB that actively discourages unit testing? You don't need to commit your unit tests or write them at all! No one fixes an instance of copy/paste codin

It seems that any documentation for software is useful more as a reference or as an FAQ or after you messed something up. This is why it's important to make tasks reversible or to make dangerous tasks take longer. We need UX/UI cu

If there's value in what someone like Billy does, then software developers should learn those skills; business, negotiation, finance. Then we wouldn't have a story like this at all.

Exactly this, it's a shame most managers don't know how to do this. It's also a shame that CS schools don't have a required course on negotiation and economics.

I'm reading a book on Utopias by Lewis Mumford and he explains that most of the utopias always tried to make sure children weren't too attached to their families. Family can prevent people from pursuing their goals or the skills t

I think it's the whole life, liberty and pursuit of happiness thing. He can purse his dreams and we should be building society so that other lives don't have to be ruined in pursuit of happiness.

Considering that most roads and bridges are falling apart and that healthcare is woefully underfunded in some areas and the police are overfunded and have enough $$$ for military-grade gear, there's a good reason to put infrastructure

Yep, this is the key factor, you get to shorten your deprecation cycle to little or none. In contrast, with multiple repos, even for small projects, you will get a few days up to a month of lag time.

We're having enough trouble utilizing just a few cores and dealing with parallelism and concurrency, not sure how a hardware improvement is going to help.

Not from what I saw, it looks like you can easily go over board on some of the vitamins and minerals if you have a few bottles of it.

Are you serious? The products are substantially different. If you look at the nutritional info for Ensure[1] and Soylent[2] you'll see that Soylent has more calories, more fat, no cholesterol, more sodium, more potassium, less sugar,

The problem with Keurig k-cups is that you can't use them for anything else and you can't use them with other coffee machines. These bottles look like you could save them as water bottles in the worst case.

Pretty much yes. You will rarely see anyone using real evidence and studies to prove their point, you're more likely to see someone say "hey I heard so and so is doing this maybe just maybe it's a good idea" which is why

I think I tried using Codeanywhere and it didn't quite work for some reason, it may have been when I tried using the Android app? Is Codeanywhere free/open source? That's one reason I prefer Cloud9 though I like the 2-factor

Except that when most teams adopt the SCRUM flavour of Agile, they're dropping much of the processes and tools that help (pair programming, test-driven development, etc.) So yeah, it's important to value individuals and interactio

You might be on to something here, I guess it's too much to ask for some kind of meaning in your work when you're there for 8hrs a day.

How are you testing that the code and models are correct? Also which languages are used and are you doing any marketing at all aside from these interviews?

It's a shame that the article doesn't mention all the incidents of government agencies being hacked. In Canada I remember there were student loan records that were accessed: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/0
