How many hours of this developers time did you take up? Refunds don't exist unless you're willing to go to court and if the work was actually damaging to your company. You took a risk and you have to pay for at least the time of

I don't understand why they can't use Google Maps or OpenStreetMaps or some other API to grab city data for other cities. It only covers NYC, London, Barcelona and a few other cities. Nearly useless for anyone else in the world!

annnd it suffers from the same problem as other javascript libraries: the documentation is awful. If you want your reusable library to be adopted widely, you have to write good docs. I was hoping I could replace NVD3.js with C3.js but the d

Very cool, I like it. Only comment is that you should try and get the video zooming in on where the mouse is or do some close-ups of the screen. It was hard to see exactly what was going on and it felt closer to a techie screencast than to

Yep I was thinking that as I saw this but we all have to remember that Facebook and Microsoft have a partnership. Maybe Microsoft has finally been kind enough to let all the good stuff from the Research division to be implemented into consu

You need to work on the copy and I hope you're doing A/B testing. I would revise some of the copy to be shorter and see if that helps.

Yep, in the last few years I keep thinking, "Maybe it's time to get over my distaste for Java and just use it". They have some kind of type system, lots of pretty good tools (aside from Eclipse) and documentation for even t

I wouldn't be surprised if they talked about it but if it's rebranded it could be seen as "Yet Another Tool That IT Provides". People talk about their favourite consumer apps, but only ever complain about the shit they&#

What I like about this is that it could be integrated into consensus-based decision making tools and processes. It would make it much much easier for a group to see what's happening overall and even in a hierarchical structure such as

Pirating is basically how a world without "intellectual property" and copyright would be like and it this world is fucking awesome.

You have no right to the media they produce They have no right to force everyone else to conform to absurd rules made to preserve their profits.

Please god no! Have you seen the type of code written in PHP? Do you really want more shitty C++ code to be created???
613.
by omouse 15y ago
Wtf does it mean to be a complete PHP implementation? As far as I know, there's no standard specification for the whole language, there's not even an EBNF grammar. There's no ISO or ANSI effort to standardize it either.

The one where less than 99% of software is free/open source and where proprietary software is still considered a viable option unfortunately.

I think that makes it a bit worse. Those debates are more than good enough for a lot of people who don't care much. "Oh look they debated things! Welp, back to the grind!" Even worse, if enough petitions get that many votes, it could be spu

We might be able to enlist the technical help of spammers like that. They may not like SOPA either? I wouldn't be surprised if all technical people, regardless of what they do as their job, are against SOPA and other things like it.

It's worked before and I would use stronger words than boycott; like blockade and strike. Doing economic damage by refusing to work on it or by refusing to buy their products or anything else is a damn fine idea and it's worked in the past

The most clear example that voting doesn't work and that the system is fundamentally broken. Join your local Occupy movement today!

Another example are copyright and patent laws. The US makes a new law and surprise surprise, a few months later other governments in other countries start to see new laws proposed that look similar the US's laws. http://arstechnica.com/tec

I don't understand why you would do that when patents are a legitimate concern and are a problem.

Fuck patents of all sorts. They do nothing but stifle innovation.

Just because a few of them want cars and iPods doesn't mean they should force all native communities to become capitalists and worshippers of the private property system. You can have iPods and cars that are communally shared or considere

Ah the beauty of capitalism; always trying to expand and grow and force people to accept its logic. It also seems like the problem here is that the government is in control of things rather than the community themselves. You don't need priv

I love how we're all being reduced automatons thanks to statistics and I especially love how programmers seem to have a data mining fetish that will only help governments, corporations and banks, the same groups that repeatedly screw things

$15k extra might make him bitch less about piracy, especially when it's bittorrenting that saves those costs! ;) It looks like lots of companies are using it for software patch distribution (Blizzard, Facebook, Twitter).

I hope they do turn it into that! We need all the propangda we can get to turn everyone into an anti-DRM advocate!

You demonstrate the opposite; that pissing off fans is unprofitable. The music industry is no stranger to speculative charts and graphs; they use them all the time to justify their stance on piracy! "Potential revenue lost".
