Of course, but Clojure didn't exist in 2006. I wonder what Steve Yegge would say today.

"It goes without saying that all pages shown to logged-in users should be served over HTTPS" You're not logged on to that page, it's a blog. There's nothing to gain by serving it over https.

These are good points. However, as a user of Dropbox I just don't care if they encrypt my data or not. If I back up anything sensitive, I encrypt it myself. For stuff that's not that private (e.g. pictures that I've shared) I assume that an

If I were the rental car lobby, I would be putting pressure on regulators to make things as hard as possible for these companies. They are startups, so it's hard for them to put up much of a fight. It would be very different if Google was b

Moderators, could you please edit the title to reflect what the article is actually about? The original title is extremely misleading, to put it mildly.

The problem is that you're relying on interviews to hire someone who will hopefully work with you for years to come. Would you interview and pick your wife or husband in one day? Would a table like the above help?

A link is not enough, you'd have to show causation. If not, you might as well be banning the sale of umbrellas because they are linked to rain. That's the main weakness in the study, btw. It could well be that kids who are prone to violence

It's not that complicated, especially if you have been following Diaspora here. Too much spotlight, not enough traction, a suicide, no more money.

I don't understand how this article talks about the future of Google+ in the enterprise, yet it makes no mention of LinkedIn.

Maybe you only think those projects were the best because you dumped them. Had you stuck with them, they may not look so good know. How do you know it's not hindsight bias?

This article can be summarized as follows: Programmers tend to underestimate tasks. Software estimation is an extremely complicated topic, this post barely scratches the surface.

I can see this idea used to keep out people who don't conform to groupthink. You could ask questions about abortion, god, taxes, etc. The problem is that the questions need to be very clever to avoid giving away the site's bias (and thus th

Normally you want to create an application that becomes more valuable as more people use it. This would be the opposite.

Your company is easy to find on Google. It's not stealth, and it's venture-funded. Curious why you can't or won't mention the name here.

You have been a "technology manager" at Bank of America in North Carolina since 1998. Do you try new technologies such as MongoDB professionally? What are your qualifications to make such a vague statement? More importantly, what is the les

Have you ever worked at a company with xxxx employees? They would have to create a new product, perhaps a new business unit. The best developers may want to work on the API biz, even though it may make 1/50th of what ads make. If you're a b

Because they ran the numbers. It wouldn't justify the valuation their investors demand, and it would be a distraction. Ads are their only hope. Draw your own conclusions.

This is nice, but the main reason I gave up on Cassandra was the difficulty of operating it. It's a far cry from, say, MySQL in terms of devops-friendliness. Curious how much work is being done in that respect.
