The problem is, it wasn't intentional. They seem to have thought they were attacking a Ukrainian military plane. There wasn't any strategy in this.

It's funny; As I get better at any given language or system, I inevitably move away from frameworks into individual libraries more and more. I don't think it's to be effective as much as because it's fun to force yoursel

Microsoft was made significantly flatter today, so hearing there is indeed going to be layoffs isn't surprising, though I admittedly hoped they'd figure out how to do it without incurring so many layoffs.

The first iPhone did pretty dang well without 3G. 3G helped, but it by no means was a requirement, especially with wifi prevalent even in 2007.

The answer, as always, is yes and no. Something no one seems to understand, is that the smartphone revolution didn't happen because we suddenly had touchscreens and processors powerful enough to have a relatively decent OS. We'd h

I wonder if they had any way to reasonably detect these being used maliciously after they'd fixed it, since they fixed this as long ago as September 2013. It'd be a neat sort of non-honeypot.

Probably not at current. Most game developers, for one, develop for Windows. Even if you are developing for Linux, this would only really help if you were exclusively Linux.

Yes! But using Docker can help several problems: First time provisioning of a box can take up to 30 minutes even with a non-mature app. Mature apps with many moving parts can easily get near an hour- using Docker, you can bring that down to

Of course, I'm not opposed to people being paid- I commission art regularly, I've got too many friends as artists to count, and the startup idea I've spent ages working on is based on the idea that artists currently don'

No, I'm not mixing them up, I'm just commenting on something similar that informs our overall mindset as to creative work. Hence why I opened with "This isn't quite on subject" and even added a couple minutes after

The following comment isn't strictly on subject, but it speaks to the cultural mindset toward all of this that seems pervasive even among the fastidiously anti-corporate. The attitude of content creators today scares me a bit. I was in

This is such a great example of a great experience changing behavior. I haven't thought of making music in years, and I've seen other projects kinda similar to this in the past- but this reacts so quickly, so immediate to my input

Right, it's $11bn/year in revenue, averaged over 5 years. Is that not usually used in determining the value of a given market?

This is exactly what I do, just using Trusted Builds. Right now one of my biggest curiosities, is doing mass deploys and unified logs. I've not tried to so it hasn't mattered yet, but it could be fun.

I'd be more on the Atom boat if it didn't still feel like the base installed packages were lacking. Having to install a package to get Atom to correctly indent Ruby was awkward, coming from Github, a Ruby shop. That's been fi

From what I'm reading in other places this seems more like an oversight than malicious intent. It was present in iOS 7, then broke in later versions. The e-mails themselves are still fully encrypted, and the iPhone data itself can be
