Another POV here, I moved from Visual Studio after using it for over 15 years. For me, Atom is fucking fast. Lack of UML diagramming, database designer and TFS integration is a blessing in disguise.
They don't have to turn the meter on, especially after their shift when they are driving back to the lot. One more thing, if you pick up a yellow cab, or a "car service", when they are off the clock, you don't have to…
Agreed. I'm native, born and raised, and learned about "gypsy cabs", "car service" and how to hail a yellow cab back when yellow cabs still had "jump seats". Uber has democratized what affluent people have always known,…
As others have said, if the cab has the "on duty" light on, just get in. If, and the happens a lot late at night, the cab does not have the on duty light on you can negotiate. I've gotten steep discounts or even free…
I'm almost done with seveneves and the thing that gets me is how defensive his wrighting has become. He explains every semi-technical concept in excruciating detail as if he expects an army of angry nerds to tear the…
I actually use it. I'm not serious about web development though, I just do it for my job. I also use Python Tools for Visual Studio, but that is a different story.
Let him go on good terms. If he stays with the understanding he can do various side projects on company time you are both compromising. You get half a developer and he still has to do tasks he doesn't want to do. This…
I am not a coach or trainer. I am just a developer trying to remain sane. I tend to believe that any thoughtful process can work as long as you stick to it. It just so happens I do agile/scrum. I believe that at its…
A Patek Phillipe 3940g costs around 40k-50k. With several more zeros that is what, 4 million? You gave up a 4 million dollar watch for a Pebble Steel? I mean, the point of a 4million dollar watch isn't even to tell…
For people under a certain age, minecraft is the Internet. If handled correctly, it will be Facebook, email, Skype and damn near everything else to an entire generation of users. Notch didn't really see it. He created…
What I find interesting about all these services is they are sort of a democratization of how the affluent always lived. An ex of mine worked as a sort of housekeeper for a wealthy couple and those were all tasks she…
I think this is a great idea, and wonder why it took so long. I'd love to be able to take my glasses off and read in bed, or take my glasses off for a few hours at work while in front of my monitor.
Pretty common for companies to have a 90 day probation period for new hires where they can fire you for any reason or no reason at all. Would be great if employees could just walk away after 90 days with absolutely no…
I think the way cabs actually operate in NYC makes this practically impossible unless you already have some details such as the lat/Lon of dropoff and pickup and time of the stops. I'm assuming the data is for yellow…
I wouldn't say that. Swift must be in part an effort to stave off C#/Unity/Xamarin. Imagine if Microsoft got a significant foothold into the iOS development tool chain.
I figure how Elop pitched himself was "Let's try something crazy, and hey, we always have a plan B, I have an in at Microsoft." CEOs may have significant power, but they can't just sell the company with no buy in from…
Looks pretty cool, especially autoupdate. I'm going to take a closer look at this. AFAIK, MS has dropped support for installshield LE in VS 2013 leaving developers with the choice of buying installshield, using NSIS, or…
I don't think it is sinister, or a conspiracy, just the kind of coordinated rebranding and messaging modern corporations do all the time. I don't think it takes a PR genius to say "why don't we wait until after Ballmer…
My suspicion is that Ballmer's departure was choreographed to coincide with seemingly "sudden" 360 to make it seem like some sort of internal revolution instead of a carefully planned business strategy. I certainly…
Seems like 6.0 is all about reducing boilerplate. Those default constructors and null checking will probably save me hours of typing as the ctor that does nothing but set stuff and null checking properties all the way…
I tried on a pair of 3d printed shoes the other day. We have a long long way to go.
Despite my dislike of facebook I think this may have been a smart play. Valve's largely vaporous VR tech was gaining mindshare and Sony has cash, manufacturing, retail presence, the list goes on and on. Without a huge…
55 water was hit amazingly hard by flooding, offices in 55 water will be closed another 3-4 weeks.
I am kind of thinking this will be FTL but you will be able to board and fight off boarders yourself in first person as well as program various ship systems.
It seems like a good iterative approach to me. Classic desktop apps can still run, but it seems clear they are no longer preferred. WinRT offers an interface over Win32, a skim coat to even out all the cracks, quirks…
