I guess it is just the audience on HN that is driving it, but I find it interesting that this whole discussion here is focusing on subjects like the purported STEM shortage and whether programmers should unionize. As far as I can tell the

It looks like a good choice for equipping your own child with an engaging platform for physical computing and robotics, but at in its price range of "hundreds of dollars" there are many good choices. It is at the "nice prese

Great way to get hooked on a bunch of monthly service fees when the introductory free period runs out. Reminds me of the Columbia Record and Tape Club.

I remain a diehard SageTV user primarily for the ability to run Comskip on all of my recordings to detect and then auto-skip all commercials on playback. Previously I used ReplayTV to do the same, as well as a JVC SVHS recorder that had co

I suspect there are a number of businesses successfully using Express today who are going to have to pay up for MSDN / Professional licenses, assuming Express goes away.

It is less permissive than Express was though, isn't it? I was under the impression there were no restrictions on who could use Express. If Express goes away now, some organizations will be shut out of the Community Edition due to it

I'm just glad to have access to the option Debug / Attach to process, one of the many very useful little features that were annoyingly omitted from the Express version in the past.

Where are the Windows stack components? For example, I don't believe Stack Overflow runs solely on Redis for their data storage.

I just hope Carl and Richard at the .NET Rocks podcast can find a new sponsor or figure out some other option to keep their great show going. Seems like Telerik has been their main sponsor forever.

Its a good list of classics, but dropping Doctorow in there seems a bit incongruous. I've never cared for his novels. They always strike me as little more than pandering spackling together of snappy glib dialogue with pop culture tro

Branding/naming confusion with http://celeryproject.org threw me for a loop. 2% of revenue on top of existing payment processing fees seems steep. I guess convenience has a price and this will be great for shops that want

Makerhaus was a good example of how not to do one of these ventures. Priced out hobbyists, and reportedly not very well run. Lots of glitz and glam without a sound business plan or market analysis. See comments: http://www.r

Good question for which I don't have answers. Bill Gates maybe? I am not a fan in general of idolizing people. It would have to be someone who was laudable as a whole person and not just professionally. Someone who can keep a marriag
