But did Audi show the Lexus a middle finger? If not, there is a bug...

Today, you are walking with the equivalent of what was supercomputer not too long ago — in your pocket. Long live the new Moore's Law?

3D circuits is the way to go! Putting RAM next to CPU could eliminate much access latency.

Is that a supercomputer in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Yup, people have been saying similar for a while. Doesn't make it not-news, IMO.

The way Livecoding works is pretty simple. Developers stream live video of themselves coding, and users watching can ask questions or give feedback. Thanks. I'll stick with Netflix

The road to IoT is paved with gold—and roadblocks. Things?

Don't know if they had backups at that time.
Today, most code on GitHub is duplicated on numerous client machines (as well as offsite backups); so loosing the main GitHub database will not be that bad.
I'd rather be phishing!

The article is about risk of Github becoming the next SourceForge!
I have repositories on every popular source code hosting. I dun put all my eggs in one basket! Right now, I am migrating away from SourceForge and Google Code(closing down).

GitHub et al. may be fine for open-source projects, but there is still plenty of proprietary code out there that no-one in their right mind would put on a server that they don't control.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The transition from command line to line-of-command requires a new mind-set -- and a thick skin. "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
Because I couldn't remember the source of, "The easy part was losing my mind."

In the (slightly depressing) possibility that anyone is actually considering this transition, I recommend the book : Managing Humans[^] (I used it in my brief time amongst the slippy ones)

Very much this. I did my time as a supervisor. When my boss pulled me aside one day during a corporate "restructuring" and told me that my direct reports were being taken away from me and all of us were going to report direct to him, I was actually giddy. I felt happier about that change than any pay raise I'd ever received.

Exactly, some need to control people. I enjoy the more difficult task of forcing Silicon to do my bidding.

It is no longer a matter of whether an organization should take advantage of open-source software; it’s also a matter of understanding, handling and managing all the open-source software coming in. Oh boy, the fun part of software development.

Legal issues have been part of software development for a long time now. The major difference between proprietary software and open-source software is the "virality" of some open-source licenses. For example, any software that contains open-source software using GPL must be made open-source.

A new study suggests that Google’s search results are skewed towards its own services, a move that it claims actually harms consumers and social welfare. Do. Know evil?
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the article doesn't mention how consumers are actually harmed.
|
|
|
|

Judging from what I've read elsewhere about the study author, because they can't see Yelp reviews often enough.
