Ha! you've never tried to decide which is the right exit on a roundabout... have you?
|
|
|
|
|
At speed?
|
|
|
|
|
You know... it is always the same... smoking and noisy tires...
Just joking...
But this is a stupid thing GPS systems make today, if you enter a roundabout while speaking or similar, it's easy to miss the right exit... specially when something has changed since the last map update...

I think this is awesome, and they are very developer friendly: what3words makes the entire earth addressable down to 3mx3m squares in 3 words.
It's loads easier to say, as a human, "scenes.shed.booth" than either "Just near the north-west corner of the main lake of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia" or "Lat/long -33.863523, 151.217154"
And it works in uninhabited/unmapped places, too.

Managing a team of software developers is a tall order. This is doubly true when the line management includes both org chart duties (career development, HR administrivia, etc) and responsibility for the teamβs performance when it comes to shipping. A partial list

The longer you spend in the technology industry, the more you can expect to earn. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

I am sure there are a lot of 50+ aged tech people that would not agree with the article.

One can expect whatever one chooses to expect, but that doesn't mean it'll happen.

Surely the key is to change jobs frequently as annual pay reviews tend to be small compared to the increase you can get moving companies.

Every line of code written comes at a price: maintenance. To avoid paying for a lot of code, we build reusable software. The problem with code re-use is that it gets in the way of changing your mind later on. Some people should delete all their code

Sometimes I think I'd been better off deleting someone else's code and rewriting.

Write code that is not easy to delete, not easy to extend but easy for reuse ability

Rail against profiteering and raise the timeworn example of Red Hat all you like, but building a viable business around 'real' open source is as dicey as it's ever been "You be the judge, I did it for love"

GitHub is finally responding to a group of frustrated developers who wrote an open letter to the open-source code repository last month. Please don't leave us for SourceForge!

Bunch-a gits, the lot of 'em.

SourceForge wants to be a trusted repository of open source software. Its first step is killing DevShare, the revenue sharing bundleware program. Complaints (and everyone leaving for GitHub) do work!

Party! Let's have a party!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

How is that news? It looks to me like it might just be site-driving, but I'm not about to click the link to find out.

Wrote a post mocking the patents and then did some more reading. Apparently, gasp, Immersion isn't a patent troll and really did invent this stuff, even though it seems obvious to me and the patents are poorly written. Turns out other companies are licensing their stuff, including Google for Android. Immersion also won against Sony years back, all of which create a strong precedent.

Good post.
It is also interesting that Apple under Jobs considered that Android had ripped them off for making a pocket-sized computing device and because it was controlled from a touch screen.
These companies which attempt to patent an idea are ridiculous.

A haptic feedback system that includes a controller, a memory coupled to the controller, an actuator drive circuit coupled to the controller, and an actuator coupled to the actuator drive circuit. The memory stores at least one haptic effect that is executed by the controller in order to create a haptic effect.
Wow. Can I patent "a tension feedback system that includes an intestine, a brain coupled to the intestine, and an anus muscle coupled to the brain, and an anus coupled to the anus muscle. The brain controls the anus muscle in response to intestine tension that in turn creates a bowel movement so that the operator can pinch a loaf."
hmmm?
