It's a time of great change right now and fear is a natural response. The world is going to be a very different place in 4 years time. Try not to let the fear of an unknown future affect your experience in college. College is a great t

For anyone else wondering what OT is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation The gist of it seems to be that its a set of data models that make handling concurrency control and conflict resolution easier in the context of

The COD part is somewhat cultural. Very few people in India will trust a credit card based system that requires you to hand over your credit card number online and accept delivery at some point in the future. Cash usage in general is dispro

I suspect a lot of us are very uncomfortable with that claim. I think the moonshot and the kernel are both independently amazing feats that don't need to be compared against one another for validation.

I don't know anything about Loom, but perhaps the first step to building a HIPAA compliant image store is to simply build an image store? Perhaps Loom's roadmap or eventual plan is to build an image store for a very specific business purpos

I don't mean to imply that Yahoo is more successful than Google at acquisitions (We know that isn't the case). I just don't think Google is a good benchmark for acquisitions. I think they as good or as bad as Yahoo. I think Yahoo's problem

I meant the converse, sorry. I was responding to the idea that "a sign of progress" within a year is the same as "making it succeed in the long run".

I disagree. We don't know what Yahoo wants to do with Tumblr. All we have are rumors, a WSJ report and tons of idle speculation. Without knowing what the intended end game is, I don't see how we can call the acquisition a "success" or "fail

I really like Safari's Reader and that feature alone keeps me on Safari. Readability and other similar plugins on Chrome are nice, but I don't find them as well done as Reader.

I beg to differ. For a lot of people, it isn't about the "thinking". Its the reality of their wallets.

A point often neglected in such comparisons (regardless of the actual conclusion), is that paper towels are useful for more than just drying hands. What if I'm at a restaurant and I wish to wipe my trousers because I spilt a sauce on them?

I don't quite think autotools were invented to replace Makefiles. Autoconf and friends _configure_ the build environment by discovering locations of dependencies, feature sets, available compilers and build tools and other build conditions.

Agreed. One of my worst productivity killers at work is the "hey, could you do this little thing? I know it'll only take you two minutes" type of request. It might only take two minutes to do, but it's also just botched a nice hour long flo

HTML+CSS would provide a fantastic way to view a resume on a web page. However, a resume is more usually forwarded around multiple times via email and then finally printed for a review. HTML+CSS offers little to no control of how a page wou

I found this "little" technique is immensely powerful. I've found that talking to people about everything I'm currently working on (as opposed to what I've completed) deflates my excitement a little bit about what I'm working on. After a fe

It is, to an extent. For OS X 10.7.2, you can grab the source at http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-1699.24.8/ . The "README" at http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-1699.24.8/README has instructions on building and install

Somewhat disappointed after realizing that the videos are all in Flash. So I can't watch this on my iPad. Does anyone know if these exact videos are also available on iTunes U?

Unfortunately, I need access to 4 (or more) devices in each class for testing and buying/selling that many devices becomes a little expensive. Its also a lot more complex than I would like. Thanks for the link anyhow! I'm pretty sure I'll b

Stories like this are absolutely fascinating. I'm sure there are a ton of lessons to learn from Apple's senior leadership; lessons that would otherwise have been drowned under the attention given to Jobs and his leadership style. You can't

Actually, I'd argue that they're shooting for where the puck will be two years from now (possibly less?). The article doesn't quite mention it, but it sounds like Intel is seriously concerned that future MacBook Airs aren't going to be on I
