I know you can implement it with out XML, I do DI all day long with functions. Non-sequitur. Most .Net DI frameworks (as opposed to DI in Java, or DI without a framework) use configuration in code. This is generally…
The point of collecting click data is not to target google engineers, it is to collect data from masses of people doing regular searches and to improve them by seeing which links get clicked on, so obviously Bing is…
the effect is the same as intentional scraping and outright stealing The google engineers intentionally sent this click data to Bing, so is Bing really stealing? It's odd to act surprised when Bing uses the data that…

Are these Microsoft addins causing you crashes or other problems?
"Algorithms are for people who don't know how to buy RAM"... really shows a startling lack of understanding Are you perhaps missing that it's a deliberate inversion of the more obvious statement "needing more RAM is for…
To go further, What is and what isn't an "explanation" ? "Things always fall down" doesn't add much. It says that the observation can be repeated. Newton's law says more than "There exists gravitational force between…
Ok, it generalises the observation to other things as well.
Whether the president makes the decisions or if it's someone behind him, what I was asking was about the level of the decisions made. For instance, it's plausible that the decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was made well…
"Simple" is a subjective term. Which is why it's sometimes stated as "Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily" - i.e pick the explanation with the fewest moving parts. That's less subjective, assuming you can…
Define "run" ? They don't decide what you eat for lunch, so what do they decide and what don't they? I ask since you can't argue against a statement that isn't even coherent. All you can do is point out that it makes no…
Yep - when a phone causes someone to waste £1500 on a flight they missed, it's tragedy. When a phone causes someone's spouse to find out they they're cheatin' .. comedy gold.
To go even further: if someone got dumped on their wedding day because they texted their other girlfriend and the fiancée found out, the media's story will be that it's their own fault and you can't rage at the phone…
I watched a presentation online by a large software company who used to to do this. They deprecated this as "prioritization by whoever shouts the loudest". Once a crash-bug-reporting system was in place it simply went…
Mass Animal Deaths Are Not in Fact Unusual ... especially in the middle of winter, when food is hardest to find.
Me and friends used to play that game. When we were 8 years old.
Right, it could be either.
Buggy software can be better than none.
I read it not as saying startups were reliable well, I read it as "your best bet would be to start or join a startup. That's been a reliable way to get rich for hundreds of year" I read it that way because that's what…
Contradicting yourself is not the same as addressing a point.
I stopped after the first paragraph: If you wanted to get rich, how would you do it? I think your best bet would be to start or join a startup. That's been a reliable way to get rich for hundreds of years. Come on.…
the world-wide cultural taboo against incest exists for a clearly defined reason Of course it does. In other news, shooting people in the streets is generally considered bad, yet if you read a few thrillers and watch a…
