Oct 4th, and they're deleting everything? Can you imagine getting back from a trip to discover everything had been deleted. It seems like they should give more time than this.

Correction: Virtual reality goggles and the Birdly apparatus made them think they could fly. The copious references to Oculus make me think the Facebook PR team have swung into action, to try to bolster waning interest in Oculus after the d

Can anyone explain what this would mean for the day-to-day programmer?

W3Schools is the site programming hipsters love to hate... after they've discretely used it to get going in their programming. A lot of people also use it to get going in their design careers. It was the original widely used instant ev

While I'm still chewing on the general premise... I have to say I really like the way the author quantified the involvement of the various parties involved in chef. That took some work and is useful, so I'm impressed.

Thanks... that's helpful to know where Ansible is coming from in all this. You seem to be following the management pattern of the organizations behind the majority of the tools and frameworks I use.

> Additionally having the code on GitHub gives a nice warm and fuzzy feeling that there is no vendor-lock-in, even though there is no other game in town. What about puppet and/or ansible? Is there something chef does they don'

Oh crap. First google+, now facebook? I hate employers making me use these horrible things. I'm now going to avoid working for companies that do. > Facebook only knows what you tell it. Facebook collects lots of information on yo

I think characterizing discussion of the effects of facebook on oculus as 'Facebook hating' is a pretty cheap dodge of a significant event. A lot of the strategy changes people are making around the facebook purchase are legitima

That must suck so bad for these designers... one day you're a hot industrial designer, and the next you're working for facebook. You can make the best designs ever, but if there is just suck inside, your design sucks in a way too.

Then there's the case where the police found drugs in the mail, but let it be delivered anyway. When the homeowner (the mayor of the town, incidentally) came home and brought the package in, they attacked, killing his two labradors (o

Some departments apparently restrict people with IQ's over a certain limit. http://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/sto... Makes you wonder if we really should be militarizing them.

With all the options, it's too bad the authors had to choose the name of a popular emacs mode. Just makes it harder to find either.

Lol... I never knew the + stopped working... I've been using it all along. I guess I always assumed the search term I was prepending a + to was always in there, somewhere. No doubt I was getting less relevant results. Without a doubt

Thanks... you put it better than I did. That was poorly worded on my part. More 'averse' than emotionally detached, though.

I hope the author ports this to something else than Oculus, since I bailed on it when it sold out.

Nice dream. The new crop of developers can push up a full stack app in 3 days, play with it, and iterate the whole process in the following day. It's a whole new world.

The article would lead one to conclude the people behind the show will clean up their act and come back with a more sensitive approach. An alternative possibility is that they will simply keep the format, but find another less discerning gr

Let's be honest. The qualifications for being a Junior developer are (1) familiarity with new frameworks (2) nimbleness with polyglot approaches (3) ability to code considerably more than sit in meetings (4) an approach towards getting

I am so very glad I didn't buy the dev kit, which I was just about to do last month. The kit would have gone from being a shiny cool thing on my desk to a shiny turd in my room.

Yay! Now I can have a unit for $70... so long as I finally sign up to Facebook to be able to use it! Uh. I think I'd rather pay $1000 than do that.

Wha? Why couldn't Oculus have been it's own company? Facebook made it without a partner.

If you're a polyglot/polyplatform developer then eclipse based IDE's are awesome. You can drop an eclipse into a directory, untar it, and run it... and toss it away later if you want. Titanium Studio, SpringSource Tool Suit
