I thought "YC reject" would grab attention. Transactor (my company) makes a backup tool for programmers, called Code Agent. It provides backup and version history in between checkins. It helps with the "svn revert... Oh shit" and "it worked

The idea overlooks a lot. For example, the demand for big macs may be different in different countries, which would lead to price discrepancies. The same thing goes for supply (# of restaurants, etc). Also, the branding of a Big Mac is diff

You are write on the time issue (but it does work if a and b are the same) The reason becomes very apparent if you write out the assembly necessary to compile the xor, vs what is needed to compile a classic swap. The xor would look somethin

That would never work. To start with, you can't stop members of Congress from associating with each other. If you said "you get one week every 2 years to pass everything", the entire congress would spend 1 year and 51 weeks in secret meetin

I'd be interested in learning more how you implemented this. I reccomended something similar to this for use as the parser for the VB.NET IDE, back around the start of the VS 2008 development cycle. It ended up being kind of expensive , bec

I can't comment specifically about Facebook, because I don't know much about its internals. But, there is one thing I can comment on. The role of any Software Company CEO is to create a system that translates brain waves into dollars. That'

Given that Eric Schmidt was, only about 2 weeks ago, actively campaigning in favor of The President's stimulus package I find it highly unlikely that the US Justice Department will be going after Google. This could change if Google does som
