I like the idea. It's essentially SFA, Single Factor Authentication, opposed to MFA, but chose the "what you have" aka an email factor rather than "what you know" aka a password. From a compliance standpoint (ignori

I think there is a huge distinction between learning how to program, and becoming a valuable programmer. We need to decrease the barrier to entry, so that the more valuable skills (such as abstraction, optimization, security, etc.) are reac

I recall reading somewhere that the leading data point predicting car accidents was the driver's credit report, but this was decided to be private information in that case so car insurance companies were forbidden from using it. Where

I've found the hardest thing for beginner programmers is being in a state where they can actually run their code. That's why I think NodeJS and Javascript are so awesome. The code just runs, better yet, Javascript (perhaps not Nod

What I think is cool about programming is that if you can understand a book, like the C Programming Language for example, then you can probably program. Although, being able to understand that book may take a little more work than just read

A lot of commenters referred to money being the biggest driver but I think that's only a half truth. Rather, job security seems to be the most logical reason to study computer science. No matter who you talk to, in any field, there&#x2

Even with security risk, this is a bit of a golden egg for automated selenium testing!

I'd be curious to understand the parts of his day that take the most time, and how that could change in NY. Commuting and shopping are two huge time sinks that living in NY could fix.

Does the breaking scroll bother anyone else? Besides trying to make a statement, does the breaking scroll serve any practical purpose? For example, does it give the cube on the top/first nav window a chance to load/unload? Also, i

A little more than just programming, but just finished Ilya Grigorik's new book, "High Performance Browser Networking" (available free online). I learned a lot about Javascript/HTML loading and execution that I had never

Is there a file storage protocol? On the same note, it would be cool to have this protocol to drive the development of Dropbox (and other file storage services for that matter) in the same way that Git drives what is capable on Github.

The backstory is I followed the link in the comments after looking at the source on one of Github's 404 pages ( https://github.com/asdfasdfasdfhjagksdfhjkgasdjhfgkajhsgdfhj... ). The comment read: Hello future GitHub

This seems like a perfect companion (or replacement) for Notational Velocity.

You are definitely correct that the traditional Computer Science education includes Calculus, but that does not mean that it should include Calculus. I would appreciate if there was empirical reasoning for why Calculus should be taught in

It would be useful to see side by side benchmarking and comparisons of typical Javascript vs React.js. I've just finished reading High Performance Browser Networking, and it appears to me that most client side code is slowed down much

A though provoking anecdote, yet who is in charge, versus who has final influence are often times different. Although Martha influenced the outcome, she was not involved throughout the entire process. She could have worked with her colleagu

Am I paranoid or is it possible that the two cable companies that Netflix was supposed to fight against struck a backdoor deal with Netflix to partner with other cable companies that they surely had connections to.

Why not educate potential employees on how they should utilize unlimited PTO? This could be taught in school or some other non-biased source. If people aren't taught how to utilize their PTO (or vacation days for that matter), then the

Referencing my other comment, I can't help feeling that this is duct tape. Nothing compares to Reddit and Twitter for news. What Vox seems to be trying to create is current events in historical form so that readers can keep up to date.

It is exciting to see "technology-first" journalism developing solely for the reason that I believe they will displace the incumbent "old-school" firms. (We have already seen a similar trend in "cloud-first" vs

I'm not typically a gambling man, but 1:1000 for $1000 is pretty good odds if you ask me, particularly considering there is no buy in (I think).
