Wow, straight up propaganda. Lame

I've had an alt account specifically for porn for a while. Prior to 2023, most porn clips were only 20-30 seconds. This year, I've noticed the bot accounts regularly post full 30 m…

It's weird to see Google best practices continue to leak and become the standard.

Had Oculus not sold to FB, they would have kept working with Valve and there wouldn't be a Vive. https://www.engadget.com/2016/03/18/htc-vive-an-oral-history...

I feel like my work style is very ad-hoc. Some days I'm in the zone and can churn away, and some days it feels like I just bounce between searching docs and checking hacker news. I…

Wow, this is just what I was looking for. Thanks!

The best part is, 15% of GitHub's employees are women, and only 6 of them are developers. So you could actually do a really accurate survey with a small sample size!

That actually sounds extremely plausible to me. I mean, I don't think the guy literally said to himself "she won't fuck me, revert!" What I imagine happened is some guy at work had…

I think this is the crux of why G+ failed. When I first started using it, circles seemed like a killer feature. I divided all my contacts into work, friends, family, by location, e…

So I guess this is what Carl Quinn's been working on?

Someone should port VirtualBox to NaCL. Then we could build web apps on top of little embedded virtual linux machines using Qt or WxWidgets or something.

Maybe I'm biased, but to me the story of RIM is another example of the triumph of open source over closed-source solutions. iOS is based on BSD, Android on linux (and heavily lever…

It seems like I get calls from recruiters every other week looking for people with Grails experience. I used Grails for a project four years ago - I think it made a lot of sense th…

The problem isn't that developers "expect" this stuff to be free. It's that the quality of a particular development platform is related to how many people are using it - how many t…

Yeah I got tubgirl. Welcome to the internet, guys. If you have a public place that displays user generated content, it's going to be flooded with the most vile images around. Since…

My first job was at a company that I'd say was much, much worse than Amazon. Smaller, no real engineering practices, and they'd just chew through developers paying them as little a…

Whenever people ask me if they should work at Amazon, I always say maybe in AWS, but never in anything to do with the retail website. I'm glad I did it, I certainly learned a great…
