An income stream means nothing when you spy on all your users for a couple of bucks. Maybe next time show them a huge red sign saying "to use this site, you must let us collect and sell all your private information". No legalese,

I agree: Canonical should make it easier for developers to strip the company's trademarks when forking their applications. Canonical's relationship with the rest of the FOSS community always seemed a bit screwed up to me. They try

Cool idea, but feels very unpolished: - it's tough to discover the APIs (codinggame does it by describing all data elements and actions in a simple digest) - UI should be more descriptive (just add some text to the buttons!). Recogniti

Funny thing, I read this right after reading an article about 'microcomplaints' on HN. Kind of validated the previous one.

Well, the same would apply to pretty much any non-enterprise software then. Who's gonna read an EULA to run a program? Who's gonna pay for software, later find the EULA is abusive and stop using their paid product/service? It

Terrorism really lives up to its name, it scares people and makes them act irrationaly to prevent it at all costs. I blame the media and politicians for focusing so much on it. Media act like vultures - the amount of time and specials they

I don't have an opinion on this particular case, but FOSS benefits people even when they don't code. I mean, who has read a significant portion of the Linux kernel? Close to no one. How many have beneffited from it being GPL? Mill

Not that I read EULAs often, but I think that's quite a common clause. They do talk about exceptions in some jurisdictions at the end. A bit off-topic, but what I do find hilarious are websites EULAs, when you're not even asked to

What is continuous or precise depends on the base you use. I can't think of any example in base 2, but I believe in base 3 you could represent numbers that have infinite digits in base 10. If I'm not mistaken, 0.3333... would be 0

The picture is a really nice idea: shows the product, its size and its creator, which does add a nice human touch to it. But your smile does indeed look a bit demonic. Maybe take a couple of pics and chose the best one? Might help to have s

The train question has always annoyed me. It's a fantasy world where you kill and save people by pulling a lever. And after the you answer, people add more rules, like "you may have to face jail time if you deliberately kill anyon

I think the Unix shell is great exactly because it operates mostly on plain text. It makes most programs easily interoperable through piping.

One 'best' practice that irks me: "Avoid static methods or attributes in Java". I find static final attributes to be quite good to avoid magic numbers or strings. Static methods also seem better for functional, stateless

My suggestion: just release it. If someone uses your program or gives it a new life under a fork, that's great. If no one uses it, there's no harm done. If some asshole complains about support, either kindly ask him about a paid o

I wonder how can 20$ pay for the hardware alone - a quadcore, 1 gb RAM, etc. Unless there are hidden caveats (slow RAM speed, for example) or embedded ads/custom 3rd party apps in the OS (as OEMs frequently do). If not so, I'm rea

I agree. As the author says, the development scene is always changing. Maybe that's a reason to teach generic concept skills and concepts instead of current techology. iOS and android development may be totally diffrent in 5 years, for

I think you underestimate the data collecting and mining done by Facebook and most modern companies. It's ok if you want it, but some of us would rather have basic functionalities only and deny extra permissions.
