As a female computer scientist, I would be very sad if a speaker I was very much looking forward to hearing at a conference opted out because there happened to be no women on the panel. This seems to be an inappropriate level at which to de

> while a programmer who is not concerned with design is little more than a line cook following instructions. I disagree with this and am inclined to take offence. Programming is not at all like following a simple recipe. Perhaps if the

This happened to me recently with a WP blog. It happened quite by accident, however, since the client just didn't want the website field. When comments still came in with a URL, the client was concerned that I had screwed up - but it clicke

I think there should be a distinction made in this discussion between the technical use of dates for the purpose of storage, and display of dates for the end user. Why don't we display dates as seconds since epoch? Because people don't reco

Why I don't wear the same shirt everyday: I think shopping for clothes is fun. I'm not awake enough in the morning to do anything but pick out clothes. My company doesn't have branded T-Shirts? I guess if I tried to do a start-up, it would

I have a Nexus Q from I/O and was never able to try it because they wouldn't let me download the app in my country. ... time to see if I can hack it, I guess.

I have seen children become bored with opening gifts on Christmas because there were just so many of them. From what I could gather, the family really could not afford all the gifts either (they'd be paying off their credit cards just in ti

"how do we make it more likely?" Sometimes it's not just a matter of being intrinsically motivated, and no matter what you sacrifice, you never seem to have enough. "Many young people, who have the ability to attend post secondary instituti

I am rather apprehensive about something of the opposite effect. I'm a chick and I'll be attending Google I/O this year . It'll be my first tech conference. I looked at the pictures from last year and it appears men are the majority by a lo

Sounds like fun! Where do I sign up? I actually spent more than an hour on the phone with some of the call-you-up-because-you've-won-something-but-you-can't-have-it-unless-you-give-us-money scams once. I repeatedly gave them a bogus credit

This article resonates with me, I really appreciate it! I would like to add a source or two of grumpiness. To the "Work cross-functionally" section: it is possible to be injected into the creative process too early and too far. I may be cre

Imagine having nothing that you love to do, and imagine the things that you previously loved to do are now laborious and draining, no matter the positive things you tell yourself about them. Think of something you really enjoy doing, and re

I just buy my clothes in outfits. For each pair of pants there is at least one sweater and at most two that will go with it. I don't try to mix and match to make new combinations on the fly. When I wake up, I think briefly of which sweater

Yes. My mom said "Now what do I do?" when there was a box on her screen that said "Click Next to Continue" and that's all that could be done. I've been trying to teach her to read the boxes that come up before she calls me for help. On the

I couldn't agree more with Mr. Torvalds. I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one - I was thinking maybe I was too picky, or too dumb to set Gnome 3 up the way I wanted it. I spent a half hour searching and Googling to find where they had

A dialling modem is my favourite, followed closely by the dot-matrix printer. My dear mother used to create multi-page decorative banners for our birthdays and print them with the old dot-matrix printer. We'd colour the banners by hand with

Wave was scraped a while ago and taken completely offline just recently. I loved the per-character live action, but the rest of the UX was non-revolutionary and mostly a disaster.

Unfortunately our sales people are obsessed with agreeing to whatever customers dictate in order to make a sale. The customer wants a full featured, fully customized, fully automated E-commerce solution and they want it for a flat $5000? So

I disagree. When I hold my hand straight out to my screen(s), it is an additional 20 to 30 cm I would have to lean forward to actually touch one. I don't particularly want to start looking down at my screen. I suppose there could be an opti

This could be a solution for me. Drinking tea is part of the culture of my family, so I started drinking it at a very young age (as soon as I could hold a cup?) with 3/4 milk and 1/4 tea. As I got older, the amount of tea increased until th
