Sorry, meant to upvote you and hit the wrong one. There's no undo button.

Wait, did I just read that correctly? Microsoft is going to make their OS less responsive to the web by disabling JIT for browsers other than IE? IE is horrid, it just makes no sense why they would do this to the detriment of their users. M

Wow, wouldn't it be illegal to do, what they did elsewhere?

I remember Barnes and Noble had a job offering that was looking for "rockstar developers to work in a start-up like environment." When the guy asked me if I were a rock-star, I said no. He ended the conversation right there.

NYC - Novus Partners: backend and frontend engineers We work in Scala on the back end but don't mind training people up if they lack Scala experience. Our interviews are tough but the people we work with are just incredible. You don't have

Is this for real or is it the most cleverly disguised viral advertising campaign for Doritos? I don't see any mention of any other taco brand plus the use of a Doritos branded image...

I'm not against techniques, manufacturing methods or process patents. What I'm against is the wholesale patenting of DNA. Now, if someone comes up with a new technique which is more cost effective, faster, safer, etc. they will not be able

So, um, if they "own" the genes, do we get to sue them for a lethally defective product which is infecting millions of people worldwide? Or wait, if you posses "their" genes, can you make them take them back? Ugh. The sheer stupidity of the

I think Rich knows that you can't sell a technology or language, you have to sell a product. That's why he did Datomic. That said, I write Scala at my current job and am super excited that Typesafe got this funding. Please, Typesafe, follow

This is more indicative of your work environment. That said, this unfortunately happens in a lot of places regardless of age, gender or merit.

Ah but in an ironic twist, I'm sure some film maker will create a movie about this. Oh wait, I think they have...

That, unforunately, I can't help with. Like any SQL DSL I've worked with, there's a few features that still aren't fleshed out... yet. I have complete faith they will flesh them out if prompted by the community. After that, you'll have to u

Yes and no. I'm building a library that allows you to at least pull in the database structure and have the code auto-generated so that your code agrees with the schema. You can see it here: http://wheaties.github.com/Squealer/ After that,

The 3D sliders were terribly slow on my computer (Chrome, latest.) Is it just a setting that can be tweeked or is the delay due to the library? Otherwise, very cool fade and choices like that.

As feedback I wish I could say to them this: "Everything looked great until I saw yourselves calling each other Ninjas. Chief Executive Ninja!? Bye." At this point I might just be a bit jaded but the term ninja is about as flattering to me

I'd figure out how to put laser beams on shark's heads and hold the world hostage for 1 million dollars! No, really. I think I wouldn't start anything because without the internet and places like HN I'd never have found the courage to seek

I think the best lesson here is that if you don't have some amount of traction or cash pile to back yourself up, don't share unpatentable ideas with someone who's legal army outnumbers you.

Anything is worth the hassle if the rewards make up for it. If you don't believe me think about cameras and photo fanatics. You just have to beat someone at something to give yourself an edge. Then work that edge.

Bob's currently capped on commenting at the moment so I'll relay what he'd like to say: "As you guys can probably tell, I'm still in a very early stage of development. But, with that said, we're gonna be jumping the gun and making all of t

Fork it and submit. Bob's very open to getting other people to collaborate with him. That said, you'd have to do it in the d3 style.

Good for them. I've never met a company that could sue you because a honey bee or some other naturally event that has been occurring for hundreds of years happened. To that I'm referring to Monsato's practice of suing farmers who haven't us

A high GPA is not caused by a massive intelligence, it is caused by the ability to study effectively. Intelligence and GPA are often correlated but not always. Don't make that assumption. There's a ton of people I know who did poorly in the

I feel his pain. We just got done interviewing someone who had studied "web page" design. It's sad because whatever he was taught for those 4 years (while getting a 3.96 GPA) amounted to a very limited skill set. His designs were half there

Wow, I had no idea that you could pay someone to put in bogus links to a competitor in order to cause Google to penalize their page ranking. That's pretty shady but is it a "all is fair in love and war" type thing or is someone going to do

Happened in America too. Boss took the "hacker" to the side and said "Look, I'd have to fire my entire staff if the higher ups learned of this and then I'd be out of a job too." Ah, nothing like firing the guy who could save your company to

The real story should be how they put the Confluence back-ups on the same raid disk as everything else. Yeah, thankfully we had back-ups when their server went down. Or maybe how sub-tasks on JIRA can't have sub-tasks. Or that any other thi

Pypy should have direct access to lapack. No need to bring in Pandas. Lapack is just that fast.

Maybe it's just me but thanks for linking some of those. One of them is a service I've been looking for. I think some of those sites just got some free advertising :p
