Definitely, there's going to be a lot of (fun?) surprises for people who don't quite get the nature of a digital image or video. I've know digital pack rats that save other people's photos. I don't think STDs and yo

Two factors play into this publicity of private individual lives. If everyone's skeletons are out in the open for everyone else to see, they're no longer skeletons. What one social group considers a skeleton in their closet, anoth

I would guess it's an area ripe for start ups in each new state where it is legalized/decriminalized.

I agree, I like Windows, and I think Microsoft agrees too... But they also have agreements that come from times that were very different. The official Microsoft store, their own hardware, special new editions are some of the ways they seem

I took it as examples. Ways one might enjoy the fruits of their labor in the context of modern western society. Your reply made me realize another way to think of it though. If all these things we spend money on are trivial, then that suppo

They are kept in Bull Pens because they treat their employees as sterile commodities to be herded around. You don't become WalMart/Facebook/Twitter by treating your employees well. You become big and profitable by cutting as

I think 500 hours of gameplay is a great deal. I don't play many games any more because most of the talent and budgets go to multiplayer games, but I don't relate to the people who play/talk loudly about these high-production

The point of a framework though is to remove the boilerplate, best-practices should be part of a front end frame work's default settings. The problem with Angular's popularity is that it's often used for bad purposes (includi

I think the reason this really is a surprise* is because they claim these are the top downloaded apps. *edit: Wish it were a surprise.

As a front end developer, I think it is easier and more maintainable to use styles for the appearance, and JavaScript for the behavior... That being said, I find the complexity of many designs (CSS or JS driven) more distracting to users. N

That link, they put hours into writing those recipes and formatting... Aaron Schwartz got spin (which admittedly, probably took more work hours to not-create)

I think that's more a quality of young people, not just "this generation." I was probably like that once, even though I think I wasn't. I remember everyone around me being concerned with being "liked." More imp

When companies have actual competitive value to offer, marketing is easier. I guess.

I think the more realistic code would be. people.find('thirsty').drink('water') Not about plain language reading, but instead writing code the way people think about actions and things. Procedural is just as valid, but y

There's a difference between ads and ads that are likely to end up loading malware with a few accidental clicks or distasteful ads for pornography, or ads that talk, or ads that do all three. "Are you a boy or a girl?" Poppin

I would say that 1-3 are superior, because 4 costs more than 1 person's time. The others can be done for a group and/or redistributed. Additionally, I'd say 1 can be superior to 2 and 3, because 1 can take significantly less

Maybe you're onto something, OKCupid has a better track record as the method is actually based on some type of observable patterns. :)

Something tells me the author started writing this article before the firefox news... (slightly after Napolean's invasion of Russia) While I can't speak to the intepersonal management practices, this article seems to feed the tech

I don't like Uber, I do like the idea of competition. I think the draw is upfront pricing? But I don't know, I've horror stories about that too.

The reason why it seems like a really bad thing in this case: many top contributors left node over some core principles. But I agree with the article, when you read deeper into the comments and commits, it's not virulent in the record

I did not say that Uber doesn't have issues to address, I said that the Indian government has underlying issues, and can't scapegoat forever. Not every situation in life has clear sides of "good guys" and "bad guys&

So, I'm not a Uber fan, but I get the feeling this is India deflecting a couple of other underlying issues and placing blame. Sooner or later they have to face the issue head on, because scapegoating gets old.

I'd guess that it was his vision that made this happen, because he was wrong about browsers. The browser makers who see/saw potential for income generation came out on top of the browser market.

Interesting, on page 2: "There are three parts to the Web. One is the client, the second is the pipes, and the third is the servers. ... On the client side, there's the browser software. In the sense of making money, it doesn&#x27

It's amazing in an "Agile" world, we still feel like we need to "configure" basic design concepts. For internal apps: Structure could be one theme on one CSS framework. So much time is wasted on "design" (

I wish more things looked like this at work. There's apps that look like native apps, there's bootstrap apps, there's all the custom CSS floating around, there's whatever's new, there's the stock CSS sheet that
