the only way to do good, efficient, and system-level That's the key restriction from Linus right there. He was talking about system-level code. For everything else (application-level, frameworks, etc.), you need the abstractions that C++

It's like the iPhone (or the Mac, for that matter). No one knew they wanted a better search, until an obviously superior search comes along. So I wouldn't say it's hopeless for Bing at all. There are so many ways that search could be diff

Love it, but it has one problem. Your argument is basically that it's a free market. So, assuming the market is bad and jobs are hard to find, is it then ok to work nights and weekends like the article describes? Or should there be some kin

I'm not sure what they expect exactly. On one hand, as a hacker myself, I like the idea. It's as free-form as possible. Which is exactly the right spirit of hacking: no forms to fill out, no rules and procedures. On the other hand, they are

By the way, technically if the text of your home page has not changed since you wrote it in 2008, it would be illegal for you to claim a copyright year of 2009. Why? Because the date serves a purpose: so that people can know when your copyr

Not to be paranoid, but where does it say that their privacy policy won't change? Right now, the privacy policy looks great on the surface. They are launching a new product. But you can't deny that Google's entire DNA is to extract monetiza

Mint's founder on virality (paraphrased): his product had essentially no virality (no one shares their bank stories with their friends) so he focused instead on good old PR: making sure he'd be in the news as much as he could. So much for v
