37Signals sucks. Their products suck, their marketing is hype, they will be out of business in 3 years.

But isnt that the same as saying "we are protecting your feed from spam", (unless someone pays us enough to trash your feed with spam) - in which case your feed is spam...sorry.

Its just as possible that the currency of likes has simply devalued as like buttons have spread to every corner of the web with facebook login syndication. What kind of engagement does that really amount to? So maybe likes dont drive traf

You could just go to an apple store and buy it. Pretty lazy to pirate something thats pretty cheap to start with. If you dont have 149 bucks, maybe you have bigger problems than word processing?

All responsive design does is force you to spaghetti-fy your application to the point it cant be maintained. A web app using responsive design will never fit it on both android and iOS because it will not look like it belongs on those plat

I reject the idea, that because I want to scale, I should have to write thread pools, executors, concurrent queues, and task completion APIs. This is 2012, any idiom, functional or not that doesnt support this as a built in capability is l

Actually on solaris, the fork does OOM a java VM. So while this is a pragmatic solution on linux, its also a false promise which will paper over some transient memory requirements while leaving a huge gap in regards to realistic resource e

I agree, this was a non-enlightening article which did not educate on the concept of memory overcommit, just focused on malloc failure.

In a recent job interview I was asked to code a doubly linked list as part of the coding part of the interview. Linked lists are patented, did me implementing this break the law?

I love the "cost of porting to other platforms" argument. I'd like to replace it with the "cost of delivering mushy web applications to customers who expect more". That cost is infinite, and you'll never get it back.

Actually they should mostly wait. The firehose of SO is largely filled with stupidity, lazyness, and people too lazy to learn or google what they need. SO has become the tit to feed the stupid calf, and the milk has run dry because noone i

Who knows what the previous history is, but given the way maps rolled out, maybe Forstall could have simply given credence to the notion that maps was just a beginning instead of giving in to the blowhard sales pitches of apple keynotes. A

OK yes, but who hates GitHub and how could you possibly hate Github enough to bother with going to the trouble? Maybe its just kids who knows but, I guess I never understand why people waste their time doing things that have zero possible

Anytime a company goes from being a company into essentially being a bank you can smell the failure. GM did it too and we all ended up paying off that bad debt. Turning into a bank is not a success in business, its showing the world that

MS has no credibility in this space. If you think slapping an OSS license on their code gives them cred you must be some kind of fanboy. As for Javascript - well, browsers still sucks, webapps still suck, and web development still sucks.

The tech industry is heavily reliant on the recruitment model. Its actually a great model, how many people can say there is an entire industry out there dedicated to getting you hired? But it has its underbelly. Spam, lowballing, misrepr

The point of any website is to never have a 404 happen in the first place. In which case, I would feel guilty burying a missing child link in a site that would almost never show a 404 error. Might be good for a big site like facebook thou
