indeed. tho, the important piece is the network. the network doesn't know or care if random people have a locally downloaded copy of the art. all sites, services, validations, virtual worlds, whatever on the network will hit the ethe

it sounds like a lot of the negativity revolves around devops. that's understandable. it's part of a pendulum that swings back and forth. devops and docker as topics aren't really mutually inclusive. docker, however, is mo

personally, i always side with greed/effort on this one. "wait -- we don't have to pay to keep/store/rotate/maintain logfiles? and that's a value proposition? yes! pipe them badboys to dev null!"

we do this at my (very large) company. it's awesome. the best thing about it? engineers who aren't good at the strategic, human high-touch, or political issues, but excel at execution and implementation aren't managing teams

this argument kind of annoys me. "yeah, but how long before you see a return on investment?" how about instantly? this is what we did: 1) calculated our monthly electricity payment: $160 or so a month. 2) priced out solar to push

this article seems to confuse speed reading with skimming. i took a full semester class back in high school where all we did was train speed reading. i was able to get to 800 wpm with 90% comprehension on tests. that was from a baseline s

we've had an echo for about a year now and we love it. by 'we', mean my busy family of four. it acts as everything from shopping lists to homework timers to streaming pandora/spotify to telling jokes -- and more. we ea

personally, i'd rather see it combined with something like the casetop. basically, an all-in-one monitor, keyboard, and battery charger. http://livi-design.ca/ ...but, with much better industrial design.

i suspect it's more about lua being a really nice, embeddable scripting language. there's a reason game companies all* use it for content developer scripting languages. language preferences aside, sometimes it's all about th

while this process feels like it's hitting the sweet spot for finding out who can write brilliant code, that's half or less of the battle in hiring people. personally (and as a hiring manager), i feel like a majority of the hirin

it feels like it's starting to get shaken out. the whole mega-popular digital book thing is enabling wider distribution of formats like novellas. heck, even sanderson is getting in on the gig with all of his recent success with the sh

probably because according to pi * d, they can squeeze more data in the chart and still fit within the width of that layout column. that's just a guess tho.

agreed. it's really about lifecycle. near the beginning of your startup, you need multi-hat-wearing-swiss-army-knives for developers. once you get traction and growth, you need to bring in vertical expertise.

more convenient? no. i would certainly rather have a small bank of interchangeable buttons for the 1/2 dozen items below my sink (dishwasher pods, 408, windex, sponges, trash bags, dish soap) than having to (with wet hands) find my ph
