Great post. I'm going to show this to management because this is exactly the idea that they advocate yet they keep hearing they should be more like Steve Jobs. Not many people would want to work for a pseudo-Jobs. Problem is, there seems to

That fact stands out immensely. The Scala code and java code should be equal as the first can be written exactly like the second. Don't even see Clojure. Hate to see what times they get there.

I think it's great they're making the kinds of improvements the community has been asking for. Then again, I too read that list and thought "isn't that what I take for granted in IntelliJ?"

Back in 1950 a loaf of bread cost 5 cents. Now? People often forget about this little thing called inflation. You have to plan for 4% inflation and faster medical inflation. You also can't count entitlement p

Let me get this straight, he thinks 900k is going to be enough to retire on, send a kid to college, and lay for his future medical bills!? That home building business started during the home building boom better be earning more than 50k.

They lost that professional flair in the article when they called the cops "po-po" and the expert declared it a "fail." Come on, there was enough stubstanence to report on that stuff without the derogatory remarks.

So it appears as if they're about to create a fund that they can appropriate to whatever cause they want instead of the underfunded patent office. Great... That's what they've done to infrastructure funds in many states.

As someone with a math background who came into programming this statement is very true. It's ironic that I've worked on missile defense, NASA satellite, and UAV routing software only to see my coworkers dream of jobs with webpages or dist

If they only have 25 million pounds of assets under management then they're a "start up" hedge fund. That means that someone bankrolled them for the tune of 25% equity and a slice of the profits until they can "pay back" the 25 million pou

It's a great example by far. You don't want even a hint of the Barbara Striesand effect if you're suing someone over something which is deeply and personally embarrassing. Besides, just because someone let someone else get a hold of person

Give me a break, if I want to go search I have any choice I want. There is nothing stopping me from using Google, Bing, Yahoo, Duck Duck Go or any other service. That's the beauty of the web, it's open.

Looks like people don't stop thinking over the weekend and come in with fresh ideas on Monday. I know that happens to me. Nice to see that it might be happening to others too. I mean, really, who leaves Friday without a commit?

The biggest fear people should have is that in order to promote that they're doing a good job, funding will be made available to non-viable companies. You know the type, the kind that didn't pivot, poke, prod, or explore the marketplace in
