I'm sure that git with it's very powerfull backend has way for improving way someone works, but I'm not convinced by this example. IMO it shows again that usability of git is far from perfect. For example in bzr to accomplish

AFAIK Starcraft and Quake 3 are over decade old and still played. I assume that this days their player base is far smaller than in early days, but they still have tournaments. However they probably did not bring a lot of money for producer

Are web technologies on the phone really the best way to empower users? Sure Firefox and Linux are open source(and I love them for that), but what about online apps? User does not have any control over the web page. If web page changes or d

What about me-too comments? Are they also thousand times better than writing nothing? Is it different because of scale? IMO biggest value of Me-too products are in their (even slight) differences from existing ones. For entrepreneur they ob

Personally for longer page browsing I pivot my screen vertically, zoom and scroll to make content fit my screen. It may not be fastest way but gets job done. It works better on Google plus then on some other pages(were some toolbars obfusca

In the beginning I too wanted to write that I don't agree with this split. Then I come to conclusion that he met far more programmers then I so he probably knows better. Anyway I'm not sure were to put myself on this axis. My behavior chang

Yes but Carmack also said that he now prefers D3D[1] and that difference between OpenGl and D3d does not really matter: "It’s interesting how little of the technology cares what API you’re using and what generation of the technology you’re

Well good version of OpenGl 5.0 would be very welcome(even without complete rewrite), but history shows that ARB(Architectural Review Board) likes to shoot itself in foot[1]. Design by committee usually takes a lot of time, so rewrite would

Well even though I agree that what we do is "worthless, useless, meaningless, purposeless" in universe scale it does not make me happy. I can be happy by thinking for example that universe defaults to not-existence (since most of it is empt
