This is one of those ideas that instantly makes sense. I clearly see the value proposition right on the first page. If I could invest in this company I would. I am green with jealousy.

I am really glad someone else has noticed this and feels the same way. This quote from that thread pissed me off all morning: "If you told the common man any time in history other than the baby boomer generation, that the way to get rich wa

This would be a symptom of developers also being the sysadmins. On another note, Microsoft typically has good documentation but I feel that they need a very simple 5 page 'Owners Guide' for some products that goes over the most important t

I imagine the best strategy is to be yourself, answer the questions truthfully and have a good idea and not dedicate a bunch of effort to hacking the application. It's like reading a bunch of books on how to get a first date. The actual ge

Is the preference for late night because 1) there are less distractions at night or 2) hackers are genetically prone to being night owls? Personally when left to my own ways will migrate my schedule naturally to be nocturnal. Wake up at 2P

Has this been to the front-page yet? I have noticed this a lot...especially about frameworks and platforms.

This is an honest question: Having been in IT and software development for over a decade, I have never encountered a problem that required me to look at the source code. As such, I've never really understood the open source movement. I c

Also worthy to note that Microsoft's BizSpark program provides free production access to Microsoft tools and products-- not Express editions but versions like Visual Studio Ultimate, SQL Server Enterprise, Windows Server Enterprise, etc.

I strongly agree with some of the interactions in this article. Advice to Junior Programmers: Don't be 'that guy'. Don't be that guy that derails meeting and projects by trying to switch frameworks or languages or whatever. Writing code

After getting chastised not that long ago for not having the best work conditions for their human pickers... not enough breaks, not enough pay, unsatisfactory climate conditions...Amazon moves to robots. Problem solved.

This is even worse of an idea than the balloon thing. Those drones can stay in the air for at most 15 minutes. This means that you have to have someone constantly rotating the drones and changing their battery. So then you go and arrest w

When you do a server side upgrade you are essentially doing an upgrade on behalf of every person who uses your product and it's sometimes difficult to roll-back. This is a really good reason to treat server side upgrades differently. Once

I respectfully disagree. Being human is something we have washed away with dedicated PR staff. I feel 'numb' to public figures now, especially political and that takes something intangible away. Elon is leading us into space by setting inc

I really wish a reality show would focus on SpaceX and take us along for the ride so to speak. One way to really get kids excited about science again is bring things like this to the forefront-- show everyone it's an adventure, hard work a

In order for this to work you have to get the balloon high enough where it won't be affected by simple weather patterns. Then you have to make the device capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Then you have to make the balloon stay in

I run a Windows shop and for the longest time we used a third party product called Radmin for our remote administration. Finally, after some time we switched over to RDP for a number of reasons... but one of the top ones is simply that is

I am guessing it's going to be a crowd-funding site once crowd-funding is made legal through the JOBS act. If it is, contact me.

The threat to Bitcoin is it's adoption by nefarious entities-- money laundering, paying for drugs, DDOS extortion, etc. This creates an incentive for the government to step in and disrupt the Bitcoin system. I would not be surprised to hea

I would consider getting a position at a very young start-up. A small start-up would appreciate the cheap labor and the enthusiasm for the field that you bring. You will appreciate the chance to sharpen your skills and get experience in all

SQL Server has been one of my favorite software products of all time. As an admin it has been rock solid and not produced any headaches that weren't our own fault. With that said, to really get the most out of SQL Server (and most likely m

A good leader sets a goal that is outside of our comfort zone and little by little works towards achieving those goals. Along the way, as steady progress is made, that once lofty goal starts to become more reasonable and others start to bu
