One thing that really impressed me is that they didn't try to reinvent the wheel with their contracts. Good examples are the $PORT environment variable and sending all logs to stdout. It takes design maturity to do the…
I've never understood this argument. I mean, yes, I get that all you're doing is moving the energy production somewhere else; but isn't that a GOOD thing? My response to the "you're just moving" argument is that you're…
I swear, one of these days I'm going to write an IDE that doesn't look like it was made in 1992. I may be a techie, but gosh darnit, I'm spoiled by iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps. I want the stuff I'm using every day to…
The last paragraph is by far the most profound thing in the article.
I had this, err, idea! Congrats for doing what I wouldn't do and implementing it. Perhaps I should have just put the idea on CaptainObvio.us and let someone else implement it ;-)
The current Iridium looks like it has focused its marketing to the segments that actually make sense: maritime, explorers, and military. But the infrastructure is up there and, sure, a bunch of people lost a lot of…
Most of my emails are short. When I must write a long one, it's usually because it includes technical content. In that case, I do this: Bob, I discovered why the frobnostication terminal was slow and submitted a fix. It…
My personal opinion: if you can REALLY do what you claim then you should get every country's equivalent of the CDC working with you to MANDATE that this be part of every phone, and then of course you get the revenue…
Do this on one of my teams and I'll fire you that day. I KNOW it's a hack. That's why I asked you to hack it in! Do you think I like it?
Jesus!
I've never heard watched him speak before this. It's cool because you can tell he's a genuine geek at heart.
You've got folks who'll offer to tweet the content of your choice to 10,000 followers for 5 bucks, or put something in front of their 5,000 friends on facebook. That kind of thing. You get what you pay for, but it might…
Whenever I buy a stock I think of various "trigger points" that would make me sell it (or, at least, start to sell it). If I owned RIM stock, this would be such a trigger point.
I wonder if there's any more "social" that could be put into GitHub's already "social" platform. For example: I always thought it would be nice to have a forum system (separate from the issue tracker) so that each…
No problem: take the same technology, rebrand it have a "business-oriented" name, make a different landing page, then sell both versions.
Did anyone else pretty much guess the problem areas as they were reading? As soon as I read "users will insert the pre-roll into their own videos before uploading" my mind went "ruh-roh!" I think it was a great learning…
I don't know about the rest of you, but the moment I turned 18, this kind of assault on my privacy by my parents would have been completely unacceptable.
Isn't this the same guy who said "the network is the computer"? The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
That and probably as a pun on the D language. I'm sure Walter Bright just LOVES the name. /s
Make something YOU want. Hope you're "most people."
EXACTLY. It's not that radical. Sad to see ieee drinking too much Kool-Aide.
I like this idea, simply because the world needs a place for radicals to be radical. Sure, there may be a lot of crazy floating cults, but there will probably also be some great advances from societies free of today's…
But don't forget the part about "without due process." I think that in the future, we will definitely see the use of technology like this to read the minds of accused felons. I also predict the court will declare this…
Agile(n): a buzzword used preemptively on a project to remove accountability when things inevitably go wrong.
Software Engineering would progress a lot farther as a discipline if we weren't so preoccupied with throwing out the "old" to make room for the "new". My definition of "legacy" code: code that is field-tested, has a low…
