I see your point. Based on @SpotifyStatus [0], it wasn't uncommon for Spotify to have service disruptions before they did the move though. [0]: https://twitter.com/SpotifyStatus

A typical fanboyism argument when one's favorite company screws up. Just mention the other rivals and add zero insight into the original idea being discussed. > In case of Android what you only need is that your application can read

That's actually a good explanation of your point. Thanks.

Assuming Facebook is lying isn't a very good technical argument. There are other ways for them to make profit than doing the shady things you are implicitly accusing them of doing without any base.

I have a big respect for Jon Skeet, but to dismiss Jeff Dean's work because Skeet is the one who provides copy-and-paste snippets for programmers is wrong on so many levels.

Thanks for the informative post. I know you didn't make it to advertise, but do you mind sharing your product name/info? It might be interesting to people following the discussion who have a similar situation or concern.

What I meant to say is that all companies try to follow where the market is. Microsoft isn't doing that just because they are losing their leadership in the market (which the OP claimed).

I've been using Visual Studio for more than 10 years, it never required a login to work or sent any information to Microsoft without a clear permission. Having said that, if you really feel that Visual Studio is disrespectful of your p

Could you name a single company that doesn't follow where the market is and try to monopolises it later? Plus, Windows is still the leader in the desktop and laptop market until today. They are facing some tough competition but "n

You missed the idea. He was discussing that even complicated programs (and games) can be converted to use Windows 10 features (i.e. modern desktop) flawlessly without breaking existing code. He wasn't talking about replacing Steam.

They have an excellent tutorial [0] that shows using Accord.NET to implement a well known paper called "A tutorial on Principal Components Analysis" [1]. I highly recommend reading them both for anyone who doesn't know much a

That sounds insulting to the scientific research itself. Comparing the huge amount of research Microsoft Research division does to whatever Apple does to produce their consumer devices is really ridiculous. You can hold back on a 1-inch inc

I would quote a sentence from your own profile: "Those who are afraid to make fools of themselves are fools already." :)

I don't agree. Interviewing and employment are vital for any start-up company. And those reverse applications certainly have some ideas that enrich that field.

I don't see his online marketing savvy reflecting on the way he chose to promote his own skills in the market. Especially that he's saying "In this case the product is me, Matthew Epstein.". You're calling yourself a _product_ and yet you d
