I think you're missing the point. The jimmies are getting rustled up because someone provides false information about the performance to make his own argument seem better. This is something anyone should be against.
Really? I have the exact opposite experience, I feel much more free to study and work on whatever I want now that I graduated. I would always feel bad for working my own stuff instead of just working on the class…
I've heard this before, is there a source for this? It has all the hallmarks of an urban legend...
For me the problem is that the number of sites I'd like to support to some extent. I'd love to donate to The Guardian, but I also frequent The Atlantic, BBC and many other sites. Actually supporting all these sites…
I currently have a thinkpad with ubuntu in it (not preinstalled should it matter), and unfortunately I'm considering switching the other way around. There are just too many things with this combo that don't work the way…
How exactly would that premise be different from the Microsoft/Nokia disaster?
What if wage disparity follows the lines in negotiation ability even more strongly, does that make it an issue of negotiation skills then?
I'm the most surprised how LA blows up, I thought it was quite a bit cheaper there than in SF/NY.
A lot of the people commenting on the article seem to be pretty adamant that something like this matters. Personally, I've never been confused by a period (or lack of thereof) at the end of a commit message. And if such…
>Finland has a cultural problem: working for a big company is considered good, working for a small one is considered being unsuccessful and failure at founding a startup is considered a shame. Maybe 10-15 years ago. Now…
Same goes for Google, but you could argue that it's for a reason. FB/Google have a reputation to uphold and they strive to make sure their name isn't associated with subpar stuff. Plus, they have a lot of brilliant…
I think most people from those companies (I can't speak about Wall St) would make more money in other companies. The employers those companies usually hire are exceptionally good at what they do, but simply the…
I'm a big fan of 10MinuteMail, it's saved from a lot of spam. Thanks!
While Google's this year's submission was good, it didn't seem to contain any particularly inspiring ideas, as it was mostly just a collection of small improvements on previous ideas. Personally, SPP-nets seem to be the…

That's a regional Federal Reserve Bank, not "the Fed". Also, you leave out that those share holders get at most 6% annual return for their investment, since it's capped by law.
>Famous theory from Harvard: The difference of a person’s fate is decided from what a person spends in his free time between 20:00 to 22:00. Anyone know the source for this theory? I'd like to know more about it but…
I think it has something to do with the idealistic view of "pure, well-written" code. There's something appealing about a code base consisting of only code, not comments. But in my very subjective experience, I've…
>You don't want to make someone who is editing code stop to think about how it affects the comments. What's the point of comments then if your general rule is that it should be fine to edit code without changing the…
The programmer who doesn't change the documentation when changing the code is usually the same one who doesn't change the function name when changing its functionality. If a bad programmer is tweaking your code, it…
I honestly think public libraries should be allowed to use some of their money to advertise and create a brand for themselves. For a lot of people the thing deterring the usage of library is simply the idea that it's…
This makes me think if there might be demand for a consultancy-like startup, which has the business idea of taking over a SaaS service if the company is discontinued, and running it for x number of months/years. The…
Probably all of us agree that being forced to comment everything will lead to some bad/useless comments. But the examples you showed were simply bad comments. Just because there are bad coders out there who don't care…
Lately I've developed a distaste for thinking of math as simply a representation of "something real", I'd rather think of it as a language in its own right. I'll just link this here because it explains the point way…
Not strictly economic, but personally I quite like the idea of gross national happiness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_national_happiness On the more economic side, you have something like the Misery Index and its…
