Outside of the US WhatsApp rules with an iron fist. Every non-tech person I know uses it. I hear it dropped in casual conversation at the table next to me in restaurants. It's got a public mindshare greater than Skype. And once all your fri

To take the code focus for a second, this would be a great win for Erlang in that it would put a very high-profile Erlang powered app inside Google.

This is NOT a data leak. The guys building coinbase are incredibly savvy, dedicated founders. Please don't overreact without knowing what you are taking about. These pages are supposed to be searchable because they're like mini-store checko

There's so much hyperbole in here it's hard to know what parts to take seriously. I do believe the 'fix is in' but also don't know how to read someone who is afraid of austerity but also uses the word keynesian as an epithet. Is government

Inaka does daily standups, at 11, in a HipChat room. You should know what you're working on in the morning before then, that gives you time to get some work done, take a 1 minute break and announce what you're doing. It's pretty rare we don

the achilles heel of svn is branches cost 100% of the branched repository. even an svn repo with one user can be prohibitively large. even in a corporate lan environment just pulling down an svn repository can take far too long

yeah i was going to say that i know they aren't truly julian dates but... i figured someone else would point it out. i guess you could think of it as the last 3 digits are julian dates but they just reset every year?

this reminds me of the time at Microsoft with Visual Studio 6 where the version comparison was a string compare, but build numbers were julian dates, with 4 digits - 9365 was december 31st, 1999. so we couldn't go from 9365 to 0001. So we j
