Unfortunately (and unintuitively), a person's intelligence doesn't directly translate to the type of driver they are. That's a perfect example. Shame.

I've actually done this on my way to/from work, and it makes a legitimate improvement in my commute.

Yeah, because StackOverflow.com is a shining example of Jeff's ineptitude. Jeff declares bold, out-there statements probably more than his fair share, but he's sparking beneficial …

For such a tech-centric city, it's disappointing how little web-presence we have...

I suppose somebody has to say it: No, I don't actively contribute to open source projects. No time, really.

Then it sounds like Apple should review some of their own apps, like text messaging.

I knew if I read this article, my blood would boil like it does with every other App Store article that's been coming out lately. Yet I read it anyway, and I can only ask: How long…

"Don was responsible for the LM P60's (Lunar Descent), while I was responsible for the LM P40's (which were) all other LM powered flight". Two men were able to write all that code …

This really bothers me. It's like the U.S. is a football team, and we train one of these immigrants; we make them hit the gym, show them the ropes, teach them the intracacies of th…

The irony of you saying "almost everything I ever inherited was crap in one way or another" is that somebody probably said the exact same thing about your code. I bet you write ama…

I think the purpose the author shared this technique for is when you need to constantly comment/uncomment a block of code for testing. I agree with you, though. Once you're done wi…

Not sure how I feel about the "He was wrong before, so he must be wrong again," strategy. Ballmer's probably learned a thing or two in the past few years, and history isn't always …

I remember when I first saw an episode of The Wire where they were using typewriters. The computer has become so synonymous with the workplace that I thought their office looked re…
