Did Microsoft hit the "jump the shark" moment with holograms?

I have an MIS degree, and generally, you're correct. They're light on technology, though I did learn some basics. I already knew a lot of that already, though... what I learned the most from were the Accounting, Marketing, and Bus

Personally, I always use either an auto-incremented ID or a GUID. I don't like using a real value of the object as a key. Generally, I think it's good practice, but you're right... I'd index off of that.

Best line from the write-up: It combined three of my passions: running, photography, and getting attention. Great design!

Other cities have similar characters, I'm sure. Memphis has Prince Mongo [ http://www.1045theriver.com/pages/7337724.php? ] I grew up in Memphis. Prince Mongo had a nightclub that was the place to go for high school

Interesting to compare the Partnership for American Innovation with this list: http://www.bloomberg.com/infographics/2014-03-12/offshore-pr... And, Apple and Microsoft have previously funded patent trolls (IV). An

It's a bit difficult where I am (semi-rural)... busy roads, no sidewalks, dogs without leashes (pitbull attacks are too frequent). But, I do the same with running. I drive to nearby trails most every day. And for the family, we do shor

Those arguments should only affect the damages, not the finding of infringement.

Exactly. And I think it's a potentially valid argument (without knowing all the details about the case). But, not knowing about a patent, or saying you didn't copy from a non-existent (or existing) implementation of it, doesn&#x27

I guess I don't understand the significant advantage this would provide. You can accomplish some of the same functionality with other control flow libraries. Also, I could see the future declaration, with potentially cascading effects,

I just see it as removing a layer of complexity... I don't really care for having PayPal functionality, and not having to worry about the monthly fee paid to you makes it easier on me and you. You get paid quickly, and I don't hav

Great job! I'll definitely be giving this a shot! Quick question, though... Do you use Stripe's Connect API for the 50 cent transaction fee you're taking (application_fee)?

Would be nice if they decided that cashflow forecasting (Microsoft Money and Quicken Online both did that well-ish) was important to add. That's the single reason I haven't gone with Mint.

I think the issue comes across pretty clearly in the initial conversations. If you're dealing with a client looking for the cheapest possible website, he's going to force the issue of price early on. If you're dealing with a

I have both RamNode and Digital Ocean servers in production. In terms of performance and cost, both are great. I haven't ever had any issues with Digital Ocean. With RamNode, they've had a couple of issues where there's been

Seems to be a theme. I had to re-do our TeamCity integration when they stripped out the IIS Path property out of the project file in favor of publishing profiles. For a shop like ours, where we have lots of small projects, automating the de

Obviously that's not sustainable... but even the 60 hour version sounds pretty rough to me. Without a wife and kids, maybe. But I think if I tried this I wouldn't have to worry about a wife and kids anymore. Am I the only one who

Groupon was offered about $6 billion by Google in 2010. Groupon turned them down, thinking they were worth more and then went the IPO route. Now, in late 2013, Groupon has a market cap of $6.8 billion. Moral of the story? Take the money and

I've had pretty good success with Cloud9's IDE. I like that it's SSH based... I can secure it reasonably well and run any terminal command I need. It has decent code completion (at least for Node), a nice file tree view, can

I've gotta say, I'm a big fan of the software. I'm excited to use it in an upcoming project!

I'd love to say there's some more nefarious work going on, like governments trying to quash Bitcoin and executing these hacks... But my guess is it comes down to poor security.

Definitely a time-sink. And I seriously question its value as a long-tail investment. Even if you use it to document processes or a tutorial, after a couple of years or so it's out of date. But I think you hit on the right value for so

Daily stand-ups were the best thing I ever did for this. We had our task list on big post-it notes on the wall. We talked about which ones we were going to accomplish, what we had done the day before, and what we expected to do that day. Th

Good test. At some point, you'd expect these arbitrary this vs. that comparisons to die off. They haven't, and I'm guessing they won't. Basically, it comes down to picking the tool that best supports your use case, or be
