That's a pretty narrow view of Twitter. He doesn't use the word "search" once. If you are not using Twitter search on specific key terms then you are not using Twitter effectively. He doesn't mention hashtags. A great example is back cha

I find the best programmers know C, C++, C#, and Objective-C. They know the pros and pitfalls of each language: 1) Procedural vs OO 2) Manual vs automatic memory management 3) Naked pointers vs smart pointers vs garbage collection

The Charlie Rose Show on PBS is underwritten by companies like Google and Pfizer. It is also resold to Bloomberg Television. I'm not sure how that is different from what Andrew Warner is doing with Mixergy. Also, I'm not sure what entitles

As another poster alluded to, a practitioner of NLP would call this a "pattern interrupt". 1) Build up an argument almost to a crescendo 2) Pattern interrupt ("it turns out") 3) New argument A practitioner of NLP would say th

"Humans are risk-averse..." Exactly. I think that's his point. That is what he means when he talks about the lizard brain. Our aversion to risk leads us into doing things that do not matter.

How much traction do you have? You may want to consider shutting down the current site and opening a new one without mentioning his name or company. That's what the core of the issue seems to be.

It seems more like Adobe's development teams slowed down after the Macromedia acquisition.

Is it bad that we all use the same implementation of printf and strlen? It's important that something as fundamental as HTML rendering becomes plumbing that we don't even notice.

It's not arbitrary. I flagged the story and I am pretty sure others flagged the story, too. Flagged stories get killed. It's the right thing to do.

I flagged the story. Injecting vitriolic editorializing into a breaking story about the death of 3 people is unclassy and flat out poor journalism.

Here's my rationale: I've worked on projects that were 1 million lines of code and took a minute or longer to link because of the overuse of templates.

I learned C++ before I learned C. I've been writing C++ for about 12 years now. I was writing production code during Alexandrescu's Modern C++ era. Great C++ looks like code written in Meyer's and Sutter's books. I suggested TCPL because

Start by learning C. The best way to learn C is by reading The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie. Then read Effective C++, More Effective C++, and Effective STL by Scott Meyers. Then move on to Exceptional C++, More Exceptio

Most languages are influenced by languages they proceed. Simula, C++, C#, and Java are clearly method calling languages. Smalltalk and Objective-C are clearly message passing languages. That is the biggest distinction. You will always be

It's more like WebKit is the new reference implementation for HTML5. Look at the changelog: http://trac.webkit.org/ I see submits from Chromium, Apple, Google, Nokia, RIM and others.

Mostly, agreed. Here is the lexer for Lua: http://www.lua.org/source/5.1/llex.c.html It's 382 lines of ANSI C according to sloccount. Reading the array at the top of the file, there are about 30 tokens in Lua. So, you are probably going

Agreed. I wish Aaron Wall had not went personal in his last post. Ironically, Aaron Wall called out Calacanis the way Calacanis usually frames debates. I am actually learning a ton about SEO from this debate. I wish both sides would fram

I used to talk to my WWE (WWF back then), GI Joe, and Transformer action figures. As a 5 year old kid, you realize that they aren't real. But you don't think that talking to them is anything out of the ordinary. My guess is that kids talk
