As a Kaleidoscope user, I must say I am mostly unimpressed. While beautiful, you cannot edit a file in place while merging. Because of this fatal flaw, I find the program significantly less useful. Further, I cannot remove a file from the d

I find it strange that there is no discussion of the performance of writing data. Cassandra and Mongo differ hugely in this respect, and I expect you will see huge performance gains in write performance. Mongo's write locking will mean

The links are also very vaguely related to the topic. If there is a point which can be made using links, typically the text of the anchor tag should tell part of the story.

Give him some advice: speak up in a non-threatening way: "hey, can you help explain to me why X is actually worse of an idea than Y? From my experience and reading, it seems like Y has many issues with blah, while X is better at blagh.

While I see your opinion, I think it is largely confused. That button you pressed is greyed out, as it has already been pressed. Actually, part of the issue is that the original poster provided a deep link into the site, which maintained th

" In some cases these companies will win if they have a superior product or an unfair advantage in distribution (think Microsoft bundling browsers with their OS)." Do you mean to imply that you believe Microsoft bundling a web browser in th

Just wanted to comment that this works better in Internet Explorer 10, documents seemed to compile significantly faster than on Chrome. Running Windows 8x64, for reference.

In other news, a poorly supported thesis with a well constructed tag line got on the front page. Reword title to reflect content: "I like Rdio, I don't like Spotify. I cannot describe why, but I am also going to rag on Microsoft because app

Nothing too new in the post, perhaps a little bit more jaded than how it is often explained. The part I found most interesting was your opinion on the different roles at Microsoft (quoted below). As someone with some experience in the PM ro

This title is pretty strange... It doesn't tell any of the interesting facts about the story, which sucks.

But they did make the hard decision-- they decided two combine two experiences on the bet that these two experiences and contexts will merge moving forward. Your device should change in context with you, and you should control it. Why would

This article seems to add no value to the discussion... Did you plan to make a point rooted in any sort of argument? Where did Microsoft not make a choice? I think you might have an interesting point to make, and as someone who has worked o

Ranking employees and rewarding behavior allows a company to form a culture. What actions are rewarded? What actions are not? For example, if someone delivers well, but is an asshole in the process, do they get rewarded? If they do, then th

Well, given how the DOJ treated MS, it is pretty clear that there was very little it could do in terms of integrating experiences without getting sued. Bundle a browser in your OS, get sued. Bundle a media player in your OS? Get sued. But M

The way they describe stack ranking is fundamentally wrong. Currently Windows is in calibration, where we stack rank and reward behaviors that are positive for the company. This is not done on a per team basis, but on a whole organization b

In other news, #boycottApple helped Google+ realize that they need to design at least one feature correctly... If I am viewing a livestream, don't move the box that I am reading from. Goodness gracious.
