Or you can use Wuala which is at least as secure and not as outrageously expensive. http://www.wuala.com/

For purely "creative" positions, we don't care how, where and when the employee works. Especially when working on challenging features I understand that some people like to somehow "retreat" to think (I work like this). You like to work in

I've seen that perverted to design absolute nonsense and as a defense say: "hey, we don't do premature optimization here!".

The car is brilliant, especially in terms of design and engine, but it's a small scale production and they don't have the means of Porsche, Mercedes, Audi (great but not perfect though) or Ferrari and therefore aren't state of the art when

I think it's difficult to do any sound prediction. Once you reach a certain level of civilization advancement, I think everything is different, a little bit like you couldn't compare our civilization with the first human beings fighting for

You should replace "I'll probably never buy one." with "I don't have one and don't plan on acquiring one in the short term". Never say never. ;)

A lot of open source os caught up in the security field, making the choice of OpenBSD less interesting because it supports less hardware.

In that case I think I would prefer to use my editor's keyboard shortcut to comment out code, but that's a personal choice.

Why don't you use macros? Additionally, source control tools make deleting code much more convenient, no?

MBTI shouldn't be used for recruitment, as the official MBTI guidelines mention because it's too easy to cheat. It's a tool to assess the difference of personality within a team, detect potential weaknesses and to communicate about it.

They probably have a QA. If the code is bad, it's probable they need to do more than just fixes but large overhauls. A difficult decision when you have customers saying "please fix the game I bought" and have a PR scandal to handle. A possi

That might simply related to the fact the SimCity is a failed game, people stopped playing it and moved on. There are bigger news to run.

A lot of hand waving. Not so many concrete results.

The author is correct, however he misses an important point: how painful population stabilization will be for some of us.

It's not working at Facebook that sucks: it's obviously cool because... It's Facebook! What sucks is listening to the boss. "lol" I think the target audience is very young. Facebook strategy is probably very long term, playing on the fact t

That's because for most people reality sucks. Well played Facebook.

There was a lot of BitCoin related press coverage. This is probably related. Volatility is high which will harm the adoption of BitCoin by vendors, which will in turn drive the price down when people realize they can't do anything with thei

I disagree - again :p - I'm very happy to be freed from the influence of others when reading a comment. Listening to different opinion isn't a poll, isn't it?

Quite the contrary. By not doing you are closer to perfection than by doing.

On Windows you should use the secure C API functions such as strcpy_s. In C++ using these function is just plain nonsense. Use std::string or equivalent.

Another way to put it, is that if you can work 60 "productive" hours a week you will most likely be more successful than someone that can only work 40 "productive" hours. The trick is to know your limit.

I wasn't thinking about properties. We've used a C++er approach (I feel the stench of Java in you ;) ): objects are stored natively in memory and only when serialized - if needed - transcoding is applied just before, on the flight, on local

Big fan of protobuf here. Awesome work. We did something along those lines for our product except we used Boost.Fusion to generate the serialization code which enables us to skip the interface compilation phase altogether. Basically you hav

It's not a problem if people change their car for a new Tesla model when reaching maturity. Also as another HNer remarked, don't forget there is probably a second hand market.
