   Failed might have been a strong and stupid word, it's worked for GitHub. The new model just doesn't work for our organisation, and that's not the fault of GitHub but it does cause us some headaches.

   My point is that larger companies are now be punished for a failed initial pricing model by GitHub. I prefer the new pricing model from a personal point of view, but for larger organisations it's now too expensive and I think many will

   And for us it's negative, our monthly bill has just increased by hundreds of dollars. In theory, our respective organisations could be in competition, and GitHub has just increased our monthly bill to subsidise your organisation, inste

   If the person is new employee, presumably you have a probation period clause in the contract, and at the end you can state that it's just not working out, protecting both the accuser and and the accused from knowing circumstance? You a

   This almost seems lifted from the This American Life episode[1], but brought into the newer context of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. [1] http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/423/t...

   I visited the office a few times between maybe 2008 and 2012, if you were working there then, we likely were in the same room at some point. I can't remember the exact syntax, but I used to find it hilarious that each Venda tag had to

    I've worked with Venda (for two separate companies) and met Dan Wagner and their platform is truly an awful piece of software, and the man himself isn't much better, my job was basically to find methods of subverting the software

    I'm not sure if Go optimises your condition, but you're calling strings.ToLower(trade.TransactionType) twice, you could memoize the result of that operation and possibly squeeze a little more performance out of the impact function

    You should definitely run go fmt, at the moment it's rather difficult to read the examples.

    You'll have to excuse any naivety on my part, but is that for all devices or for <= 5C? I was under the impression that was not possible for the 6 and 6S because of the secure enclave, and that the device had to be unlocked for a fi

    WhatsApp is still closed-source though, and I'm unsure as to the veracity of the claim of end-to-end encryption, I sure hope that's the case. In the Panorama documentary about Edward Snowden on the BBC, when discussing the death o

    The languages tab on GitHub (click on the multi-coloured bar) is another interesting metric, is it somewhat representative of the conciseness of the languages tested?

    A "nice scroll experience" is no scroll experience, don't even think about the scrollbar, it's the concern of the browser. Good design is unobtrusive. [5] Good design is as little design as possible. [10] [5, 10]: https

    It's worth noting that in China, including mainland China, homosexuality is not seen as much of a taboo as it is in western cultures, whilst there are many on here that live in liberal cities, much of the west is still uncomfortable wi

    It would be interesting to see the rate of suicide (I'm not sure Ian's death is certain to be suicide yet, and I don't wish to speculate.) amongst tech-industry positions, and other industries as a whole, and whether the rate

    This to me (and excuse my ignorance) seems like a waste of time and money (on real-life lawyers). Stack Overflow and the associated sites are public forums, the users posting code surely realise they're posting information into the pub

    I don't think that's the case, the software is taxpayer funded so it makes sense to release it. I think it's more likely that it will help with recruitment, pull requests of high-quality might provide a potential interview or
