Thats one of paths. Not every (talented) person has the risk appetite or drive to create new products. Company like Google are wonderful place for those dare, I say, majority cases. There is no "one true way".

RBI wants to bring all the money under Indian system for taxation. It will avoid the case where people would keep money in their PP account and use it for online financial transactions. (Yeah, PP does keep information about Indian users, bu

Why the search of ET Intelligence is of any significance for mankind (or even science for that matter)? Even if we assume that ET life exists, in all likelyhood, after spending billions of trillions of dollars, we may get to know that ET

I don't know. We use artificially populated data for performance testing. for user behaviour and other metrics, they would have programs running against the actual production database, not a stale developer copy of it.

For development/testing purpose, updated schema is enough; up-to-date data is not required.

The log messages are written for the 3rd person, not you. He may not use a modern email program, wider terminal or GUI tools, like you do. It makes sense to write for the least common denominator.

I will go ahead and claim, that even seemingly trivial programming tasks are astonishingly difficult. http://www.cs.princeton.edu/introcs/42sort/ According to Knuth, the first binary search algorithm was published in 1946, but the firs

I also find writing commit messages in present tense unnatural. Possible Explanation for present tense commit messages - Commit messages are treated as Instruction(s) to a third person, as if she is applying the patches one-by-one. "Impleme

Why should they accept new signups for a service that they plan to close, in the coming months? Its a pretty straightforward logic to me.

Why would they do a press release, before selling it? I dont remember anyone ever putting a "For Sale" board, for a software property of Delicious' scale. It is just they are covering up for the bad press, IMO.

I guess for me, it would be to realize how all softwares are basically abstractions. and how even the most scariest/magical software is only the summation of many smaller (lesser scary) pieces.

Well, I hope all this does not come as a surprise to Wikileaks. They are essentially screwing the US government, and using services (Paypal, Amazon etc.) which are incorporated in the US, and operates under the US regulations.
