"It doesn't matter if you build your app in php, ruby, python, asp or whatever, if you're a good coder you will produce good secure code, if you suck, so will your code." Can we please link to this in every new language discussion/flamewar?

As an encore, does anybody know about a library that lets you modify charts in realtime? I would like to have basic pie charts, where I could resize partitions, add and remove.

This strikes me as an interesting point: "10) In the same way you can never go backward to a slower computer, you can never go backward to a lessened state of connectedness"

I would suspect people to be far more liberal with the "Always display images in emails from ..." if they know the sender personally. But still an important objection, since it obviously breaks the process...

When you merge the dev branch in the feature branch, you create a new commit with 2 ancestors. While this is all done very well in git and allows for perfect inspection, it makes it nonetheless harder to follow the history of your feature b

A merge is totally fine, if you really are merging something. But in the case of feature branches you often have the situation, that you work on a very isolated thing. Simultaneously, someone works on the branch which you branched your feat

Do you guys have any timetable when to better support the german market? I really would like to use your products, but since most german carriers do not accept SMS from your system right now, it is not feasible.

While they are an alternative and available in UK, I would NOT recommend them. The technical integration via iFrame has so many pitfalls, especially for non-technical customers, that you will go through endless trouble. Furthermore, their f

There are some very strict requirements, but yes, it can be a reason for termination. The requirements are things like future prognosis of the employee's health, and undoubted negative impact on the economic situaion of the employer because

"They don't give sick days because the government pays for your time off." That is not true. The employer pays the salary for six weeks of sickness. After that, the health insurance provider takes over. I believe that the american sick-day-

I am german also, and I never heard of people having to use vacation for sick days. You need to provide a doctors note (generally only after the third day of sickness) and then you are set. You just miss the time, but get paid and do not ha

Isnt the grouper unnecessary in this example? Seems to me the mappers could divide their text into 10 sheets, since they already are determining the key which later determines the sheet.

"Facebook has been around for seven years. It has 500 million users. If you can’t figure out how to make money off half a billion people in seven years, I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re unlikely to ever do." This is a strawman.

Sometimes I wonder if Dixon is indeed a very nice guy or if he deliberately tries to construct that image just to be a stark contrast to some other angels. Anybody had him return all their calls?

I agree, they gradually push the user towards a browser-only environment. When you have no wallpaper, you do not like to look at your desktop that much. But when they are ready to make Chrome OS more mainstream, the Chrome users may go easi

charging from the beginning actually scratches two itches: the business can evolve steadily, the revenue benefits the company. And second, as a paying customer I have exactly those "rights" the OP would like to have in this scenario. Trying

I totally agree with you that it is understandable to feel cheated in this occasion. Changing the model without saying so clearly is just bad communication (see the posterous link fiasco). But nevertheless I feel that a company does not hav

Sometimes, when reading pieces like this, I think it is time that we as internet users reach a certain point in our understanding of entitlement. There are so many services we readily use, most free of charge, while some of them provide a h

To be fair: "The best thing that would happen is for Facebook to open up its data," Mr. Schmidt said. "Failing that, there are other ways to get that information." He declined to be specific. I doubt he means going to the mall and bu

"And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." Kinda sad, when you think about how many of the people in the audience would go on to become investment bankers...

For that to work properly, the CEOs goals have to be aligned with the companies goals in the first place. Like founder-CEO, not like Bank-CEO with no interest in long-term outlook of the enterprise.

It means that when an exit happens, investors can have different rights to how the money is distributed. Suppose you own a company and sell 50% of it to VC X for 1 Million Dollars (2M$ valuation). The VC gets a liquidation preference, which
