As the article mentions, the pie needs to be better distributed. The pie will not shrink. McDonalds will be selling the same amount of burgers if not more, but the profits will have to be distributed to people who can not find work.

There's nothing wrong with being an optimist mate. You're much happier in life. You may want to look up Edward de Bono. He has some quite readable books on thinking.

There is no good reason. Ever tried updating password on Authorize.net? Good God! It's the dumbest shit ever. It doesn't tell you the whole criteria in a single sentence but goes through the list and displays them one by one. And

I got to the part where the Op says "we are creating custom Linux distributions for car manufacturers, we do UI work, we write Linux drivers, Linux middleware and so on" and thought of course you'll be running Linux. With tha

It's going to cost them more in the long run. I worked for a company that had an office in Noida and development and support was moved there after we trained Noida team for a couple of months and provided them with an ongoing support.

I use both browsers a lot. I use Chrome more but I do a lot of testing in FF, especially when I need to log in as a different user. The only better thing in FF is the address bar. Google is being an asshole because it doesn't want to i

Everybody is talking about switching because the MBP is about $1000 more than they expected. But then you go and look at PC laptops and you realise that nothing out there is built like MBP. And there's seriously nothing wrong with 2013

AU is at 50 but the internet is so poor here that I thought we'd be further down the list. ADSL over very old wires. No cable option in my building and no fiber. Wireless is too expensive. It's really shit.

I remember that ctrl+c and ctrl+v didn't work across applications. I think Terminal was one of them. Couldn't copy and paste into it. Out of the box anyway.

Is Putty still a thing on Win or does it have something native?

I tried Ubuntu and couldn't get over the ugly font and not being able copy paste from anything to anything else. Plus there's no good power management on laptops and no PC ever came out with a quality trackpad that can match macbo

I went the other way. I did 4 years of computer engineering, wrote compilers, learnt about binary trees, linked lists, bubble sort, registers and flags inside CPU, big O notation and then I did a web development subject in the last semester

TLDR: "To me, what makes a senior developer is when you can trust them to get things done without you." This is a good conclusion. I've seen people write some amazing code, implement innovative solutions and build something r

See you've made an effort to go back to document.getElementBy... where I just wouldn't be able to go back to that after 10 years of such concise syntax that so closely matches CSS. But I'm a bit lazy and tend to find the easi

You start linkmeup.com and I'm on there. MS is a subpar company in my opinion even though a lot of people seem to love them now.

See my reply child post. But anything from tying a quick event of any kind to an element and posting a form using Ajax and consuming the response, doing quick show and hide. And the ease of implemting a million different plugins for all kin

I agree with you about jQuery getting quickly out of hand if you want to create something like a one page app and you should certainly use something like React or Angular. I do use it. But to do a quick Ajax post, read some data and display

How can they earn more when all the money is at the hands of Trump and others who make up 1%? The current capitalism is not distributing the wealth very well and it's certainly nearing a disaster. I wish the left had an answer but they

I will personally continue to use jQuery for many years to come. It's a lot of power in few concise lines of code and it really makes sense. And it comes at the cost of a single request. For the small amount of JS my sites use its perf
