I think it is B.S. when hackers take down an easy target for no apparently good reason. I respect those that take chances to risk their freedom for the good of humanity. For example, if a government were lying to its people about something

I have to agree with this post to some extent. Years ago we had an MBA from a local university apply and it actually made a negative impact on the interview when we saw that on the resume- and this was for a business analyst position. But,

I absolutely despise crapware, google or ask toolbars, etc. that are bundled with installers, however if there is a market for it and there is no law against it, it will happen. And once Google/etc. one day has everyone's credit card info a

Here is the reality. Serious concerns will get few votes. Things such as building a death star that are completely stupid and not serious get lots of votes. So what this is really saying is, "We're going to raise the threshold so we won't h

It isn't laziness. Change is disruptive. Disruption during instability (such as the economic condition of our country, political instability due to polarized nearly 50/50 political split of the people) is dangerous. But more importantly, es

One problem I've had is uneven neck (and probably shoulder/back) muscle development, because I don't sit staring and facing straight at the monitor. This is a warning to those that are younger and haven't noticed this yet.

The more laws are bent and disregarded, the less any law (not just those laws) will be followed. Ask any parent. I think that we may be better off if those that are willing to give up all power to the government to disregard the constitutio

I think it is a good title for 2012/2013 also. They could have called it "Barf" though, and I'd be excited about it.

To the OP: thanks for the post, but the font is nearly unreadable for older guys like me on smaller devices.

Another related problem is called "golden handcuffs". Many work in jobs that provide great salary and/or benefits and would like to leave, but they think that they will sacrifice their family's well-being by leaving. I was like that for yea

I would bet that if you did this same things with many history books, similar words would come up, but I do not think that it is a fair summary. It would be more interesting to see the most searched Google queries coming from these countrie

Backbone is not like Sinatra. Backbone is a hell of a lot more work than Sinatra. Backbone is a framework that more easily can fit atop existing design and services, however it takes so much time and in the end you just have even more compl

Why start with Backbone.js? Why not use AngularJS instead and decrease implementation time? The primary reason to use backbone would be that you are trying to retrofit some existing page or services, and if you are doing that, you are going

This looked like a title of something I'd see in the Onion. No country can revamp cybersecurity in 5 years, especially not one as bureaucratic as India.

You don't have to install RVM, but it does help. It was never that difficult for me, but I use OS X for Ruby dev mostly. And there may be a variety of ways of doing things, but that's because (1) Ruby has been more well-used than Go, and (2

I was interested in Go because of its brevity, speed, and because Rob Pike wrote it. Reading this I see a lot of the reasons I like Ruby: no worrying about different constructors or needing to worry excessively about types. If only Ruby tre

I think "dreadful" is really harsh. Every site should not look like default bootstrap. That would be incredibly boring. But, that said, I think it would have been better without everything between the font change and the color scheme change

Depends on the browser. Mobile browser URL limits used to be much shorter.

Dave was awesome. If you don't have "Time Out" in your collection, that's shameful. College wouldn't have been the same without it.

The problem is that there are central points that any government can control because we communicate over wire and fiber-optics. By decentralizing the net and using mesh networking, we would regain and retain control. We need to develop the

Yep, they made this mistake with flight search also. Let everyone know about a service with crappy data, then everyone thinks it is crappy and never go back to it. Brilliant, from the minds of geniuses. It worked for Gmail because users did

5.2% of the worlds top 10,000 websites use it, as of July 11, 2012: http://royal.pingdom.com/2012/07/11/how-popular-is-varnish/ So the question is- if it is so great, why only 5.2%? I'm not being sarcastic. This is a totally serious quest

Developing REST API per definition of REST cannot be done pragmatically in the way described, so you are going to screw a lot of people if they think this is the last word on REST. 1. REST is a hypermedia API that (somewhat) describes its o
