As much as I love civilian space programs... they've always just been excuses for designing incredible rocket based weapons... "Hey look, we can get a friggin lander to the moon. we can also drop enough nukes from orbit to comple

I think his quote is absolutely spot on about how this stuff works: "I lived through the McCarthy era, so I know how false accusations, surveillance, and keeping files on innocent people can destroy their careers and lives." I&#x2

What? You don't love the 6month contract offers to relocate to 3 states away even though you're current employed? :/

Microsoft is getting very serious about supporting their JS infrastructure. The new xbox will also run winJS, as well as windows phone 8.1.

I think gun manufacturers only get into trouble when they incorrectly make a gun... something that jams and explodes and kills you when you fire it. Obviously not to specifications. I guess if the TOR network went around and randomly blew

I've used both photoshop and gimp a lot. If I had to use gimp for my day to day photo editing software I'd be _severely_ hampered in productivity.

Back with windows 95 Microsoft actually took backwards compatability very very seriously: An emphasis has been made by Microsoft on maintaining software backwards compatibility. To achieve this, when developing a new version of Windows, Mic

I'm very impressed with the scale of the project. I can definitely see both the short term and long term ramifications and huge huge huge potential savings. I'm a bit curious to know what the shelf life on the OS choice is and ho

They tried to make the actual points. But they got shot down pretty hard. The real issue seems to be that providing the work without illustrating and tracking who uses the software (so that you're being charitable and helping the les

I'm 99% sure rich people don't get rich by "spending money". Just saying. "Trickle down" is fucking bullshit.

We had a game of it erupt at my office as well. I wasn't even an actual player to the game but had _far_ too much fun seeding discontent among the alliances and feeding real/fake information to the other players (all good friends

hey guys, it's ok. The chinese jacked the f-35 designs. Removed the VTOL aspect, narrowed the chassis, and now it's a much MUCH better aircraft. Hopefully they're cool and let us buy them back from them!

Sorry, I didn't really understand the parents as that. I guess a more on topic reason might be: They can barely manage a team of their own engineers to get this product out. Throwing more guys at it isn't going to help necessari

The way game input works compared to OS input is very _very_ different. Games go through a more direct mode of user input (directX) whereas the OS has to take into account that where your clicking can do a million different things (basical

It really really depends on which product team you deal with at MS. I had experience with the silverlight/winphone teams and they were pretty on the ball. We had major carrier backing at my last job though... so they usually listened

I was about to chime in on this. Yes, the surface got thrown at Gabe since the getgo. He's been raving about it for a long time. Which is surprising as he was using it as part of his major workflow for a while over his cintiq.

"Swift pairs increased type safety with type inference, restricts direct access to pointers, and automatically manages memory—making it easy to create secure, stable software." So... something under the hood for sure. edit: Users

because programming is the new reading. The sooner we get everyone on board with that the faster we can start automating things and changing the world. Also because I for one am very sick of dealing with all the brogrammers in SF :/

Right. But when you change one thing in the the PSD git can't do a diff and store the diff. Which means you now have basically the same 500meg file duplicated. SVN and the like will attempt to store the binary deltas instead of dupli

git does have very very bad binary asset management. It doesn't really work like svn/perforce in a logical tree structure and each commit has it's own hash and isn't necessarily ordered so there ends up being a _lot_ of

after having to use it for one job it is now a required question I have about the organization using git/mercurial/perforce before I'll accept a job offer.

And for the record I'm absolutely with you on not being able to trust the current establishments with my money. We can easily change that with computers and diplomatic voting... and much MUCH better transparency.

just because you benefited from the current system doesn't mean that everyone else can or even wants to. (just playing devils advocate). Things are going to change very soon. I've yet to meet anyone in a currently stable industr
