Yesterday or not, Backbone works. Loads fast. And is dead simple to use.

To watch how change sets are going into the tool. To see what is being done and why as it happens. I find that one of the best ways to learn these things. Especially when it is theory heavy and watching the implementation congele around the

Wish they'd put that up on Github or Bitbucket. There are so many things to be learned from that. I don't want to just download things or just use a tool (although it's pretty awesome that they made the tool available.)

When you're about to IPO, you're not thinking about morale. You're thinking about money.

I had this exact conversation with a friend over beers last week. It basically went like this, "You're only charging X per hour? I make that now as a full time dev with health insurance, a 401k and the expectation that I will have

Wait, what kind of company forces one of their programmers to take an intro level comp sci course? If you're going to let people hire someone to do a job, maybe you should either trust their judgement or have someone senior work with t

And Chunlei does it again. I was an undergraduate when he arrived and helped set up the first UHV chamber for his initial tests. Let me just say that not only is he brilliant but he is also about as down to earth a person as you could ever

Many generic drug manufacturers did not have the proper acilities to meet drug standards. The recent prow increases are a direct result of those direct manufacturers having to spend to bring their processes up to code.

C macros are the worst form of macros. They are string substitution without type checking and can very easily leaf to all sorts of issues. That said I'm in the macros camp instead of generics just because I think go authors would actua

Maybe it doesn't have to be with macros.

This was awesome and yet one more reason to learn Idris. Now I have to see if it can be done in Scala.

If they give us type safe c-like macros I will happily live without generics. This is from a Scala dev. I write Go because it's easier and less error prone than going through JNI. However the lack of any reasonable abstractions in Go m

And this is why I'll go up to my IFR and maybe dual prop but nothing more. That guy is the kind d of person I want flying my plane, maybe. Only if he handles context switching well...

It's not just the company is odd and off the mark. The bond holders are also screwy: http://mobile.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-13/radioshack-lende... The bond holders stopped them from closing unprofitable sto

They wouldn't have survived? Based on what evidence? They had already liquidated the majority of their bad debt and hedged away more of the risk onto their own clients by the time TARP came around.

This! Yes, this is why I like Redis and Cassandra if I'm not going with a standard SQL DB. The first acts like a KV store on steroids and Cassandra has CQL which is almost exactly like SQL except without joins (ok, slightly more than t

Glad to read this. You seemed like a nice enough guy at the conferences I met you. Any comments on the infamous job applicant screen? Did that have any negative repurcusions or was it more of a distraction at that point?

The Django project has done their complaint the right way. They asked to be removed, voiced the reason why and then have threatened to open a complaint to the email provider, Mandril, for unsolicited email, i.e. spam. See here: https:&#x2

Wait, payment processing is seeing a lot more competition and now they decide to split? I don't know if this is such a "value creation" move.

One confounding factor not considered here is the number of "senior" engineers with less than 4yr work experience. Seriously, title inflation is just as rampant if not more in the tech sector than wage inflation. So how do you acc

JP pays programmers very well. In fact, it's very good for the counties in which those programmers are employed. Well, that is, if they were in a money center. Costs centers, like security and infrastructure, those places they minimize

I would say that funding and grants (or lack thereof) is one of the biggest determinants in the sciences in the US. You can choose your own PhD as long as what you choose is something your advisor has the money to support and agrees that it

Well actually NASA, like any beaurocracy, grew so large that rockets were costing billions of dollars to launch a new rocket. Without market forces to keep the costs in check, no one thought this a problem and contracts were issued based on

That "assault" was not using a condom for which both women didn't want to press charges. They did only so because the prosecutor pressured them into it. Pretty weak.

Same could be said for Idris, Haskell, Scala, Clojure, Node.is, etc. Nothing against Go, I like it, it's just one more language to choose from.
