You want the Federal government to fix the school system?

I think you're correct as well. I'm just saying most paid programmers are not dealing with the problem of how to handle processes that involve millions of users, but they do have problems with marketing their app or monetising it. Therefor

I agree. 2011 Programmer Cost/Benefit reality: 1) The chance my app will be so heavily used that it requires deep knowledge of many algorithms is pretty low. 2) The chance my app has serious marketing or business model problems is pretty hi

Fact is, investors think differently. All you need to do is look at the stock price. Not to mention the diminished role MS has with developer mindshare. Obviously, Windows is a great cash cow and I'm not saying they should have spun it off

DVDs are on their way out and streaming is now in and he's putting all his efforts into the streaming business. What if Microsoft did something similar? What if the CEO in 1998 put all his efforts and attention into the Web? Results for M

I was up and running with MongoDB in minutes. I tried Riak a while ago and the "getting started" experience was very poor IMO. Also, I really like the MongoDB docs. Can you point me to a great getting started page for Riak (setting it up,

I still don't get the point of that over a list, like this: * 22% interest in tech papers * 21% in Apple advantage * 16% interest in ... As a side note, I usually only care for what the top 5 or so things are, and the percentages aren't t

I don't get it. To me an appealing aspect of Ruby, Python etc is that I can pull up Vim, make some quick changes and see the results. For most Web apps this is a great thing. Why would I move back to a statically typed, compiled, "slow t

It sounds like Oracle's Label security applied to Hadoop. It'll be a challenge because Label security slows things down quite a bit.

It can't get much simpler than this can it? Redis: redis.set "foo", "bar"; redis.get "foo" Mongo: db.stuff.save({json: "object"}); db.stuff.find({json: "object"})

The only reason I can think of for the founders behaviour is that this kind situation may happen more often than you would think and the founders don't have the cycles to appropriately handle each one.

It's funny how little innovation there is in the patent system itself.

It sounds like this MBA is angry at the most basic law of economics: when the supply is less than demand, prices go up.

There are a lot of dreams out there for Linux. One of those dreams is an easy to use tablet that's fast, has a lot of apps and is easy to use. That dream has been realised.

I agree. What if we all waited until 2008 for an academic to publish a 30 page paper about Ruby and Python and how they can be useful for building web apps?

I'm starting to realize that the success of Android is, in part, a triumph of open source and that's got people scared. And now their attacking it with everything they've got.
