So... you stopped working at a startup because you had a four hour commute. Cool story.

Yeah, Opera comes in at a whopping 1.74% browser share. They are a competitor to Mozilla in the same way that the Zune was a competitor to the iPod. Not really a competition.

What a ridiculous statement. How many people do you know of that became addicted to nicotine via second hand tobacco smoke?

So is caffeine.

You can thank the compiler writers for that. You know, people who work in "lower level languages"

Seriously? It's not a difficult concept to understand...

None of these things are obscure. At all. It was an immediate fail to begin with an explanation of indexing as pointer arithmetic. This is known to any C or C++ programmer beyond a…

You misunderstand; it's not that we can't afford it, it's that you have to go through congress to get it in the first place.

What a ridiculously naive comment. First, why should tesla take up this cause? They're trying to run a bush was, it makes no sense to do/spend any more tha. They have to. Second, y…

As someone who has been in this situation, I have to disagree with you. There is simply no replacement for being able speak in person at a moment's notice. Working remotely changes…

Another senior engineer here who weighs in on hiring decisions. Based upon your self description, no, I would not. You sound to me like a beginner-intermediate level programmer who…

No one would be writing JavaScript without technically minded people who write the interpreter. Sure, these languages are great and are more approachable to novices, but the system…

Yeah, well, we're not on an even playing field here. If you believe that a country like Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons capabilities than you are simply naive.

Let me ask you this; what kind if person has enough free time and is a large enough ass to go about calling people idiots for making minor grammatical errors? My guess is... an idi…

While I'm not completely unsympathetic, that's what you get for relying too heavily in a third party for your core business needs. Honestly, if google alerts was accounting for 35%…

That's a nearly impossible question really. Who could have predicted that Einstein's research would eventually lead to cellular phones?

I will never understand why seemingly every web based product wants me to share everything I do with "friends", where "friend" is defined as "random people you may have met once or…

BS. I was on at midnight release night. No one could play reliably. It was hit or miss for a week after that. Besides, the game itself was ruined by the AH and the RMAH, regardless…

Of course you can; the decision to use an "online always" DRM scheme is made at the top. It's bullshit, the same garbage blizzard used with DIII. It makes no sense for games that c…

A loop counter named "i" is a problem for you? Really? I would hate to see every loop counter named "index". It's completely unnecessary and just adds noise to your code. "i" is no…

Because most people who read gaming news don't care about any Nintendo console.

I agree that I couldn't understand why someone would post about menswear here , but you ask why anyone would care. Well, because some of us care about our appearance and appreciate…

Agreed. OP, what is your goal here; to be a scientist, or just play one on TV? If your software is potentially producing the wrong result because of a bug then, well... it's a good…

My God, some people live in such a small bubble... it's obvious that whoever wrote this list is a tech hipster who thinks Twitter is an amazing gift to society. Yeesh.
