I think it is B.S. when hackers take down an easy target for no apparently good reason. I respect those that take chances to risk their freedom for the good of humanity. For exampl…

I have to agree with this post to some extent. Years ago we had an MBA from a local university apply and it actually made a negative impact on the interview when we saw that on the…

I absolutely despise crapware, google or ask toolbars, etc. that are bundled with installers, however if there is a market for it and there is no law against it, it will happen. An…

Here is the reality. Serious concerns will get few votes. Things such as building a death star that are completely stupid and not serious get lots of votes. So what this is really …

It isn't laziness. Change is disruptive. Disruption during instability (such as the economic condition of our country, political instability due to polarized nearly 50/50 political…

One problem I've had is uneven neck (and probably shoulder/back) muscle development, because I don't sit staring and facing straight at the monitor. This is a warning to those that…

Great response. Please keep posting.

The more laws are bent and disregarded, the less any law (not just those laws) will be followed. Ask any parent. I think that we may be better off if those that are willing to give…

I think it is a good title for 2012/2013 also. They could have called it "Barf" though, and I'd be excited about it.

Have been managing a few open-source projects for years and have wanted to get paid for the work that I put into it in my spare time. I am aware that it is much more difficult gett…

To the OP: thanks for the post, but the font is nearly unreadable for older guys like me on smaller devices.

Another related problem is called "golden handcuffs". Many work in jobs that provide great salary and/or benefits and would like to leave, but they think that they will sacrifice t…

I would bet that if you did this same things with many history books, similar words would come up, but I do not think that it is a fair summary. It would be more interesting to see…

Is failing to send over and over this morning...

The tl;dr version: The net is a gun that we will shoot ourselves with.

...to power the Infinite Improbability Drive.

Backbone is not like Sinatra. Backbone is a hell of a lot more work than Sinatra. Backbone is a framework that more easily can fit atop existing design and services, however it tak…

Why start with Backbone.js? Why not use AngularJS instead and decrease implementation time? The primary reason to use backbone would be that you are trying to retrofit some existin…

This looked like a title of something I'd see in the Onion. No country can revamp cybersecurity in 5 years, especially not one as bureaucratic as India.

You don't have to install RVM, but it does help. It was never that difficult for me, but I use OS X for Ruby dev mostly. And there may be a variety of ways of doing things, but tha…

I was interested in Go because of its brevity, speed, and because Rob Pike wrote it. Reading this I see a lot of the reasons I like Ruby: no worrying about different constructors o…

> Ah, good to know. That wasn't clear to me from my first reading of the docs, but you're definitely right. Might be a good idea to continue honing that post. It is already useful …

I think "dreadful" is really harsh. Every site should not look like default bootstrap. That would be incredibly boring. But, that said, I think it would have been better without ev…

Depends on the browser. Mobile browser URL limits used to be much shorter.

> is it possible that now would be a good time to simplify / clean up haskell? No, that is usually the worst time. Don't pile change on change. That doesn't make it easier.
