Not working on Chrome on Mac OS X 10.9.5, either.

Lollipop is just a bad, bad update. Tap the square button and close two apps at the same time. If you did everything right, now your phone says that Android UI failed. This has bee…

It's what I did at the time, and I did it again now, but it doesn't work. I can change password as many times as I want, but the account is still blocked for no reason.

More than a year ago I skipped the page that asked me to enable the two-factor authentication, as I didn't want to give Microsoft my phone number. One day I found myself completely…

>I don’t see Go as something that is going to serve as a “better C”, so I’m waiting for something new. This surprised me a bit. I think most people who tried Go would agree that it…

Talk about serendipity, I was just reading this article from September 6th: http://www.economist.com/news/technology-quarterly/21615029-... "One of these, Genia, is commercialising…

The language isn't everything, in fact, it's the least important part of the package. Android has horrible online documentation, iOS has stacks of nicely formatted PDFs and a great…

Well, it's not that impressive, it says the guy ran 3 seconds faster, how is that useful in any context?

I think sooner or later it had to happen, there's a time when everyone realizes they're not so special after all and all those idiots working 9-to-5 like drones are actually people…

Looks like in the end the weak link is always human.

I haven't been following on this matter, it was or it wasn't Apple's fault?

You're not supposed to put in real answer anyway.

Anyone else wonders who are these people that answered their survey? I don't know about you, but Facebook never asked me anything, let alone to compile a survey. My guess is that t…

Exactly, I wonder if there's really an innovative algorithm behind, or it's just a bunch of code that maximizes revenue with the simplex algorithm. Media are always quick in bringi…

The site isn't served by a CDN so, for most people outside the US, every click takes anywhere more than 5 seconds (according to Chrome dev tools) to show any given page. Clicking t…

You should always put a break statement at the end of a default branch. The default case is put at the end as a convention but no one (certainly not the C standard) prevents you fr…
