That's like saying 'the most frustrating part about cloud services is that they use the internet.' You're right, but that's basically 'by-design' as far as the internet is concerned.

It sounds like you're making the implication that, in order to not be classified as censoring, YouTube is required to host anyone's content, regardless of how it is perceived by their stakeholders. That seems fishy. Revoking a ser

When a C# programmer sees any call to code they don't know - property or function - they should know its complexity is O(?) and will (hopefully) vet it before calling it in a tight performance sensitive loop. I get that someone could s

Are you sure that shitty support isn't coloring your view of the machine? I've got a RBS+Core and a MBA. Aside from the MBP having a better keyboard (and obviously TouchPad, as it does vs any PC) it's a great machine.

It's like 1h/y. You can handle that sitting on the toilet. You can literally filter out to solid leads while pooping. Why the derision?

Got a job at MS via LinkedIn, as well as my current job, which I really enjoy. I ignore recruiters if I even get a hint that they're not employed directly by the company they're purporting to be with. It's become less of an i

If you can't be bothered to set a reminder, subscribe to the RSS feed, create an ifttt trigger or anything like that... I don't know what to tell you. There's lots of solutions to this predicament. This one's on you.

That site, the linked paper, the vague 'membership' definition, is complete trash.

You don't need to be overweight to be embarrassed to be weighed. If only my anorexic friend had known sooner that she just needed to work on her weight, she could have avoided things like nickel-and-diming airlines. (not only so I thin

The hundreds of millions of people that have used a mouse can attest to how 'natural' it is.

Ah, my mistake. I could have sworn I saw them listed on HBO. While this might disprove my statement, I don't think it's entirely without merit, still.

It's directly proportional to how unprofitable they think the idea is. [/snark]

Those are great, but those are all HBO, if I recall, which is decidedly not TV in my opinion (I have HBO Now). You'd be hard pressed to find something on live cable television that isn't trash or available somewhere else without o

Everything old is new again. So, now that it is happening to me, am I allowed to apologize to the numerous old-coders that tried to tell me this when I was coming up?

The dictionary does a pretty good job of defining it, though it omits something pretty important in practice. That is, to mentor is to advise or train someone. The omission there is that there are, mostly, concrete goals that the mentee aim

And they never will with that kind of attitude. Personally, I was fortunate enough to have a mentor when I was starting out and it rocketed me to a strong position in my career and I couldn't be more grateful. I try to actively mentor

I'm willing to give GP the benefit of the doubt and was only speaking of the people who don't like, or are not suited for, those positions. I think there's enough people that fit that description in any reasonably sized profe

I don't think they have to switch languages. With official support/talent working on Xamarin.Android (which is already great) coming from both MS and Google, that'd be enough to make C# on android a sure thing.

Based on the current developer zeitgeist, I expect them to transition to JSON.

Yes, and the insurance is cheaper because the probability of things going wrong is lower. Transitively, they are doing it to make things safe.

So far, the vast majority of people I have heard complain about Uber are people that don't rely on public transportation. Fortunately, I think we've gotten past the point in the argument where everyone realizes that it's grea

I even kinda enjoy it, but the last time I had to do any kind of separable partial differentials was... a decade ago? There's very few domains where it's commonplace.
