"...invest most in knowledge that is durable. My energy is better spent accumulating knowledge that has a longer half-life - algorithms, application security, performance optimization, and architecture" That's the key quote,

It does seem pretty odd. As a UK citizen, am I meant to feel proud of the existence of ARM for some reason? And presumably now I'm no longer allowed to use ARM chips because they've betrayed 'us'?

What do people consider an average work week? I do 37.5hrs religiously and have never had a problem. A good fraction of developers at head office do 30-32hrs (4 days/wk).

Didn't all Sun webcams used to have little irises that you could close on them? It seems like a sensible precaution: makes it less likely I'll accidentally log into a company conference call in my dressing gown with my camera enab

I'd guess that Google switching the Android IDE from Eclipse to IntelliJ had a pretty big effect on usage numbers.

Given how many smartphones with broken screens I see, it seems like a case is pretty much essential these days, whatever the phone is coated in. Completely anecdotal, of course, but I'd guess something like 20% of phones I see have a c

I doubt it: "A Facebook spokeswoman said: “While we recognise that this photo is iconic, it’s difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others. "

I don't think those are all that true of software in general. Most software isn't particularly new: how many "Yet Another CRUD app" projects are there? And with software you can ship a percentage of the features and ad

It definitely seems like there's a lack of intermediate-to-advanced Haskell books. This looks like it contains a lot of canonical Haskell coding examples and might be useful: any Haskell experts that can weigh in? The other Packt Haske

The removal of colour from the icons in the Finder sidebar is the change that feels the most clearly anti-usability to me. It clearly makes the items harder to distinguish and has no benefits that I can see apart from fitting in with the fl

"...didn’t give a sht whether there was an elastic band or an 8086 or a 286 driving the thing" There actually was an elastic band in the disk drive: I remember replacing it twice in my dad's PCW9512 when it wore out.

I guess because in skewing the design to prevent those things, it makes it less good at actually being a bench. It's less comfortable, you can't lean back on it and it's extremely ugly. Whether that's a worthwhile trade-

It's hard to block them out. You can tell yourself to ignore them, but (in my minimal experience at least) it's near impossible to actually do so completely.

There are going to be a lot of unhappy Leave voters if that happens, though. The main thrust of the Leave campaign seemed to be about immigration and controlling our borders.

Sony gave it away 'free' as a PS+ title for subscribers as well, I don't know what affect that had on his income.

I've seen other indie game developers say that they made decent money on the Vita: Vita owners are a small market, but they're very active and prepared to spend money.

CMake? Something about having to write a build system for my build system always makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong, though ;-)

Is there any way sites could force you to view their adverts? Short of forcing you to use some kind of custom browser, I can't think of anything. I guess you could say something like "enter the code shown somewhere in the middle o

Presumably there are mechanical (heat, pressure, shock etc.) limits to how you build an engine that limit what you can do to improve safety? As light and small as modern engines are, they're still a big lump of iron/steel/alu

Siri used to have "raise to talk" that would activate Siri automatically if you put the phone to your ear outside a phone call, but from some googling it was removed in an update.

But leaving a day's work locally on your laptop is dangerous, no? You have to organise some other backup system, instead of pushing to the central, RAIDed, backed up repo.

I haven't done it myself, but I know of teams that use a lock for integrating changes to the main branch. Without it the rate of change in the branch was fast enough that submissions would be preempted by someone else's and you&#x
