It's not a case of the wheel needing to be round enough. The wheel is old and has not been able to keep pace. We have many people walking aside the wagon repairing the wheel at every turn. Those people are the current browsers. The wag

At a really high level... Create an entirely different model. One that acts as a hybrid between a full blown inefficient co-ordinate system and, plausibly, a more efficient box model. We could start by modelling 'movement' which e

XHTML 2.0 was not a worthy successor. Apologies if my hatred for the current technology is coming through, but hey... At least I'm being honest.

I would have thought ditching HTML, the box model, CSS and JavaScript to be a more important objective that should come sooner than this. Or another way to put this would be: Wouldn't development efficiency/simplicity be more impo

Sadly, we live in a world where it's quite possible that phones like these are nothing more than a ploy to lure NSA targets in. They need to get people, who have something to hide, to feel safe again.

Guessing applicant quality is making a judgment of their capability, which is the core point of the article. I never suggested anyone was judging solely on a persons worth. I am suggesting that getting to know the person provides better ins

So we've gone from "Don't judge a book by its' cover" to 'Don't judge a book by its' content'? How about don't judge anyone until having "walked a mile in their shoes"? Or even...

There's no such thing as mass surveillance being used solely for either good or evil. At least as long as people are not perfect, which I expect will be forever.

"You would have been stopped at the border for that at any point in the last 100 years." Comparing an action that occurs in our world today to a same action occurring 100 years ago does not invalidate the parallel being drawn beca

That model seems ineffective. While it operates in parallel, spawns a plethora of threads and does, I imagine, aim to end in eventual consistency, it also seems to lack any form of shared state. If I was me I would make sure I overlap mysel

Great article. Note that much of the attitude comes from a belief that what is good for the company is ultimately good for the engineer. However, I'll suggest that's not always the case. Take for example one of the OA's refle

If you can get past the first few minutes discussing the non-sense nazi topic there's an interesting conversation about SanFran's current dilemma. Not from there so it really hit home when I realized the less privileged residents

To me this is one of those examples where you might re-think the whole problem from the ground up, then take a step back when realizing the absolute solution is not the perfect solution. Take for example, the clap-it lights; while yes it re

This reminds me of car ownership... When you ask people if they like their car, most will say yes they do; that is until they decide to get a new one. It's then that they quickly come up with a large con list to warrant an upgrade. Aft

So Theo would rather shutdown instead? Change is hard, but I think it's worth a shot. And you never know maybe spending more time focused on real needs will create a better product from all the extra attention given to things that are

I don't see why they're proposing a all or none situation when they could choose to move and in doing so, limit the number of platforms they support. If anyone complains about a specific platform being dropped, well have them pay

It's possible that you're both right. According to the author they had hired new management spots. It could be that this new management decided they needed certain specialists positions filled, but didn't have the budget to d

Actually if you watched it, the claimed purpose is not for commercial, bloomberg is just trying to tie that link for reporting purposes. Besides that, it's a govt run op... do the math.

I can't understand why the American people are not protesting drone use. Given everything learned about US govt surveillance and their obvious intentions is it not absolutely crazy to let this happen?

I read that they acknowledge they made the default to not scrub... "As a result, we switched the default mode away from scrubbing to improve performance, given that customers would have complete control over this action themselves.&quo
