Please stop evolving Ecmascript. If this continues then soon JavaScript will have gone from a nice simple, elegant language into C++ 11, incomprehensible to both humans and machines, and then the replacement languages will start to prolifer

Yeesh, mechanical black keyboard, that's rather kind of like bragging about having a VHS player with fastest rewind feature.

Good reading. Nice introduction that explains when approaching AI development it's difficult to provide a computer with an exact rigid mechanical model of how the world works, and that's not how we think anyway, but rather we stor

Very smooth animation, but those colors ... ech ... I wish it had the color and style customization that Highcharts offers, for example gradient fills and opacity support ... or rather I wish Highcharts update animations were this smooth.

The real battleground is services. Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft want everyone to buy their phone because it delivers their services and their ecosystem. Doesn't matter what the operating system happens to be.

This is absolutely true. The best opportunity to set your pay is when you get the offer letter, after that it's all nickel and dime increases. The next best time to adjust your pay is when you announce you're leaving for a better

I vaguely recall that if a circular disc with a circumference of pi (3.14 ...) is held at an angle of 22.7 degrees relative to a flat surface, it projects an ellipse that has a circumference of 3.000 Coincidence? Eh, probably. Might'v

Why would your managers fire you? Your managers demanded a stupid feature, and you took long time implementing the stupid feature due to its complexity. The only thing missing is you need to warn your managers before you start coding such a

Good point. Instead of calling the game poker it should be dressed in Wall St jargon, and it'd be legitimate investing. The players can be called brokers, the cards are securities, a hand would be called a compound derivative, the ante

Pretenders are my favorite type of manager to mess with. When they ask if ping requests filled up the disk I would gladly "check" that for them using the "system diagnostic regression suite" and ... nope ... everything l

Now would be a good time to invest. Applebee-centric apps will be the next Google killers. Amazon should get ahead of this before it's too late.

It's really hard for a young startup to turn down big potential customers, so offering the first taste for free is reasonable, but it's equally important to then quickly discontinue the free trial and leave that customer wanting m

Classic example of not understanding the customer. It's selling analysis to marketing departments don't have the time, budget, or expertise to act on this kind of broad analysis.

I've used it on production in EC2. The setup essentially replicated the underlying files to at least two nodes so if a host failed then the volume was still entirely available automatically, and when the dead host recovered it would re

As far as selling the biggest difference between now and then was back then software could only be shipped on floppy disks, so it was more like manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping physical merchandise.

Programming is very much like carpentry. You have your tools you're familiar with, shiny new tools you just bought and learning to use, and some tools you've heard about that might be better but meh, and you have a vision of what

Seems like the article is wrestling with the semantics of "active user" and wants to focus on counting passive users instead. Either way, the audience size is the audience size, and growth generally means growth in audience size.

For those who bemoaned the Facebook acquisition, now you can be reassured that papa Facebook has deep enough pockets to make the patent troll go away.

Actively practicing the patent should be required to hold the patent but unfortunately it's not, and a court ruling can't change that.

Greeting strangers and making small talk is normal behavior in Georgia. Kind of sad how the north coastal cultures treat friendliness as an abnormal behavior.

I've worked among devs who don't want to own their code in production, they'd rather just code and then throw new code over the wall for the sys admins to deploy. The anti-DevOps developers don't understand how databases

That's a good point: They don't want to you to leave now, so leverage that. But this situation is not fixable by staying at the company. Recognize the CTO and CEO want you leave when it's convenient for them, and that's
