1) It's pretty clear then that you don't have much experience with planning at level beyond a few people if you've never heard the term KPI come up in software 2) Agile still comes…

If you had no KPIs and no meetings how did you know what to work on and what the company needed? Osmosis?

Feels like this person completely missed the point of choose boring technology. The point isn't to never use anything new or exciting, the point is to save the excitement for your …

I wouldn't call that being a crap shield. I'd call that executing on the non-technical aspects of your team's strategy. When teams don't see (and/or frame) those things as key part…

But doing so wouldn't make that developer's software unusable on Windows.

Just wish these articles would address the amount of content and utility we get in exchange for our data (instead of our money) and speak to the trade-off. Until we find a better w…

I think everyone has their own ideas on who's the victim. People seem to care about a 70 year old billionaire getting "bullied" by the media for example.

> I'm not sure I really believe that. I can believe it. I once worked at an investment bank where, during bonus time, I needed to deal with an issue at a trading desk. While there …

How come the millionaire Duck Dynasty cast member isn't an "elite," but everyone brought in by the Democrats was?

The amount of garbage Scala generates doesn't get enough airtime IMO. There are at least five instances I've been part of where an underperforming Scala component was rewritten in …

Not sure if this applies to their use case since they mention FIFO in the context of it being a simple eviction policy, but if you _require_ FIFO semantics then both Redis and memc…

The use case in mainly deduplication of a high volume data stream (though it's got a few other uses). The write volume is fairly stable so it's sized in such away that we'll never …

I confronted a similar caching requirement (in my case the cache needs to be much larger) in Java recently and chose to implement off-heap for some of the reasons you mention. It a…

An important difference with the web is the barrier to entry. Testing an idea for the web is orders of magnitude cheaper (time and money) than an idea for an app.

I wonder if this has implications for the higher levels of hypertension found specifically in African Americans.

Just use Windows Defender. It's built in. You're already done.

If you're an enterprise you're using github's on-premise appliance and aren't affected at all.

They were never making money off the pirates anyway. This way they can get more people on their services, on a more secure OS that will be evergreen, potentially paying for extras,…

The "intellectuals" who watch sports are interested in strategy. This encompasses on field strategy, personnel choices, and beyond. The fact that you ignored (or are ignorant of) t…

Apple's laptop division and the appeal of OSX have very little to do with these revenue numbers. At 6.9B Mac sales are only a few multiples of Microsoft's fledgling Surface busines…

I'm on the same page. Chrome locks my computer around once a day on Ubuntu. Startup is horribly slow as well.

Is it? It quotes Altman as saying, "Going way out of our way to invite people to apply who don't fit the stereotypical start-up mold has worked really well for us." Sounds exactly …

If your non-geeky "friends" are telling you to get a life, I suspect they aren't actually your friends.
