Wow, I really, really, really like that second design. The two nav menu is brilliant. Maybe I'm behind the times (I think I am but that's why I'm not a designer) but it's sexy.

I bought an emergency computer at Best Buy pre-installed with Windows 8. No matter what I've tried I can not get the thing to start not in Windows. I can't even drop down to the legacy BIOS to get Linux to boot. Oh yeah, I also failed the r

Yeah, I bought one of your licenses Microsoft. I didn't want to buy it. Given the choice I would not have bought it. And quite clearly as evidenced in my past week of Twitter I've been trying to get rid of it. Alas, to no avail...

Um, no. C is a perfectly valid language and some of the best, most robust systems in the world are written in it (Linux, Git, etc.) Some languages are even built to run atop C (Cython.) Even the JVM deals with pointers, memory allocation is

Someone else IS innovating. They're printing out of print books for a tidy fee. What's remarkable is that so many books are unavailable once they've run. That is publishers are incentived to destroy rather than keep books which don't immedi

Which ones? I've tried Ubuntu and Mint but not Fedora. I tried googling it but all I ended up with was a several pages of articles talking about UEFI and the secure boot without a single link TO a Linux that did it. I'm dying to know 'cause

Ugh. I read this and cry inside. Perfectly brilliant idea that I didn't even think of. Why? I just purchased a new ultra book burdened by Windows 8 pre-installed. If I switch to the legacy BIOS the machine won't boot up, period. The only w

I disagree. I found WTForms quite easy to use and straight forward. I believe there's even a Flask-WTForms module. It's very natural. I was just thinking the other day how nice forms are in Flask. Having to write ky own forms stuff in Scala

Large entities can often mask accounting fraud with the helpnof an accounting firm. Think Enron and Auther Anderson. I'm pretty sure HP is going to sue the begeezus out of a number of complicent players. They should start with the former C

Impressive. Massively impressive. Does this count towards your thesis in any way? I'd hate the kind of effort this required to go to waste when PhDs sucks the life out of your for 6-8 years (at least in the US.)

I worked for several years as a C++ developer. Let me tell you that a "kitchen sink" language is a problem. You have to choose a subset to work in, there's lots of corner cases, and moving from one shop to another will turn you quickly into

I wouldn't do this. You're already gambling your future by not earning income, depleting your stored reserves, and potentially missing "standard" career advancement opportunities. Don't you realize that most financial advisors recommend you

Did he just complain about "companies he never heard of" and "top tech" like Facebook? I hate to tell this kid but those companies you've never heard of are 90% of what it means to be a start-up. Start-ups aren't well known at all until the

There used to be several logging add-ons, one of which I uses regularly. I hope it's an "oops" and not a change.

Here's the three step trick that works across the board: 1. Pay more 2. Offer amazing benefits. 3. Sponsor tech events and become active in a tech community. That's what I say to everyone who "can't find anyone decent." Decent people can pi

Your website took forever to load from my phone. Granted, i was in a 3G zone and not 4G but that happens. It was the text which took a good long while followed by the info graphic i didn't bother to wait for. Just a heads up.

As someone who had to work in ArcGIS using their C++ COM, their java, .NET and their python implementations for several years can I strongly urge you not to do this? Why? Well, things that worked in one language, wouldn't in others. Bugs wh

At good metric for an indirect peg on number of people using something is the "star" count on Github. It's not an ideal metric but it is a reasonable proxy. The other thing I'd look at which requires more effort is to look at the number of

Wow, the Angular version is so small. Very impressed with the clean, readable, and terse code. Thanks guys.

You can't just use Flask straight out of the box. You need to put it on something. I've used Gunicorn with Gevent and it runs as fast as I need it to run. Gevent with Nginx as a reverse proxy play very well together and the responsiveness i

Wait, let me get this straight, this framework eschews the standard MVC separation and allows for mixing the M with the V? I like Backbone and I love AngularJS. Both have their merits. If Backbone isn't doing it for you perhaps your app nee

Not to sound cynical but the patent court has consistently found ways to narrow even Supreme Court rulings to the point where even the spirit of a ruling is circumvented in entirety. Only a wholesale restructuring of the patent court and th

I love seeing how people tackle these sorts of problems. Here, the trade-off is duplicate messages reaching a client. I know others have tried a no-"ack" approach. I'm still working in the land of RabbitMQ solving all my business needs and

Zurb has one thing going for it that really makes a big difference, SASS. From the minute I saw SASS, I became a convert. Also, it's much less all encompassing.

Very cool. We're battling Mongo as we speak. Never ran into a problem where you have to run a compaction on a DB before, would love to know of a way to automate this like every other DB I've ever used. It's probably something I've glossed o

JRuby really is a different language than Ruby. Not only is it built on a different ecosystem of libraries (anything on the JVM vs anything for Ruby) but there are language extensions that make it operate differently (Java MBeans being one
