I do agree that Watson seems oversold, but the evidence in this article (Watson's shallow opinion of Bob Dylan, compared to the author's opinion of Bob Dylan) seems kind of weak. I was hoping for some insider…

Studies going as far back as the 80s show that people in submarines develop myopia: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7457562 The leading theory is that being in a confined space causes the eye to adapt to viewing…
TLDR: He was reading the database while another process was writing to it. Why all the Mongo hate? I'm sure this would happen with other databases.
Well that's just sad. Pinball was dropped because of incompetent programmers. Don't 32-bit binaries work on 64-bit anyways?
This website itself is not designed so well. The fixed top bar is super annoying and wastes space. (Yes, I know it's also a modern design trend. It's a terrible one.) Their site is too wide somewhere, and forces an…

Here's one reason why not: no anonymous functions longer than one line. Which is a pretty lame limitation for a modern high-level language, all due to the dumb whitespace-as-scope design.
As a programmer this sounds like some pretentious bullshit. I've done so many UIs where 20 people jump in all thinking they are experts and have long drawn out discussions about how the UI should look, only to change…
I'm gonna call it right now: bad idea. It's not about efficiency, it's about convenience. Plus, what makes you think you math is right? Square only takes 2.75%, and also Amazon is a high-volume, low-margin exception.…
