    Everything you know about the first AI winter is wrong. It was a hit job. Minsky learned from Pitts and McCulloch. Then he buried their field for twenty years. The same institution…

    No, it wouldn't, there's more than enough stuff like this that goes around that taking one slice off the stack isn't really going to change the stack. ;) The thing is these solutio…

    I understand, but every time I get handed one of these it's because someone who didn't know what they were doing was rapid prototyping something and woops they have 200 hundred use…

    A spreadsheet is NOT a database! Argh! As a person who gets asked to fix these kinds of projects once they hit a wall (performance/concurrency/etc) and then have to migrate them to…

    Well, she did prove one point though. She's not a customer for these things and doesn't have first hand understanding of that market. So she's got that going... :P

    Apple makes a tech tool? Uh, no. They make fashion tech and have for over a decade now. Yes it's functional for techies but it's fashion plane and simple, and yes people will shell…

    I'm going to disagree. I do SEO work and this format is dying. Readers are put off by it as it lacks sincerity, it's also soon to get penalized in upcoming indexing activities. If …

    I enjoyed the article at first but she invalidated the positive experience with the pitch for her seminar at the end of the piece which just led me to discount the entire article a…

    I think you're presuming too much. As long as your code is documented and you're willing to release all potential IP claims as part of the sale I can imagine there would be someone…

    Given that we've seemed to reach a stage where most US politicians seem to match the profile of what one would clinically call a sociopath, I'm going to hazard a guess that they wi…

    I'm not sure of what the divergence you're indicating is. I agree that an app with no monitization is worthless for sure. A bloated app user base where you aren't monetizing your u…

    Thank-you... beyond that I just learned from another user that even though I've been using this site for years I have never seen a down vote option, so I always suspected it was a …
