In my personal opinion, the employee is trustworthy. That's rule #1. On the other hand, if the jobs are not getting done, it's going to show quite quickly.

Speaking at Nokia's launch of their Windows 8-powered Lumia 820 and 920, Steve Ballmer gets numeric with prediction. [ITworld]

If anyone needs proof that Ballmer is deluded, this speech is it.

couldn't anyone just write a client which scrapes the web page? not as clean as calling an API but wouldn't that avoid restrictions from Twitter?

It is David Ebersman. He is Facebook's well-liked, 41-year-old chief financial officer. He's not as well known as Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder and chief executive, or Sheryl Sandberg, its chief operating officer and recently appointed director.

He did a great job for those that dumped thier shares immediately, and getting a lot of money into the company it should not have had. I am sure there are a lot of people who are laughing all the way to the bank. All these officers who get a way with making hundreds of millions and screw their company (and possibly the US Taxpayer) and never have to repay a dime.

Just before the IPO I read a article that said that the shares were worth $15 maximum - just by comparing value with other companies like Google and Apple. Looks like that article was spot on.

Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos served as his company's pitchman Thursday, introducing seven new or upgraded Kindle devices. But Bezos was a bit confusing with his introductions, so here's a guide to the new Kindles, their prices, release dates and their most important features. From Paperwhite to Fire, everything you need to know in one post.

Cool!
It doesn't say, but I assume the paperwhite has a touch screen?
Anyone with experience with the Kindle SDK?

If you get thread-abort, out-of-memory, or stack-overflow exceptions thrown back at you, you don't want to suppress those. Once you run into these, your code has ignored all the red flags and exhausted its resources and whatever it was that you called didn't get its job done and likely sits there as a zombie in an undefined state. That class of exceptions is raining down your call stack like a shower of knife blades. They can't happen. Try... Catch... Oh noooooooo!

With our push to share the kernel of your software in reusable C# libraries and build a native experience per platform one component that is always missing is what about doing a web UI that also shares some of the code. Until very recently the answer was far from optimal, and included things like: put the kernel on the server and use some .NET stack to ship the HTML to the client. Today there are two solid choices to run your C# code on the browser and share code between the web and your native UIs. C# all the things!

Imagine an approach to programming where you write down some description of what your code should do, then before running your code you run some automatic tool to see if the code matches the description. That’s Test-driven development, you say! Actually, this is what you are doing when you use static types in most languages too. Types are a description of the code’s inputs and outputs, and the check ensures that inputs and outputs match up and are used consistently. Modern type systems—such as in Haskell or above—are very flexible, and allow these descriptions to be quite detailed; plus they are not too obtrusive in use and often very helpful. Put aside your bad experiences from Java, and prepare to be amazed!

JSON, short for JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight computer data interchange format. JSON is a text-based, human-readable format for representing simple data structures and associative arrays (called objects). Here's an interactive web tool for parsing JSON into human readable formats on the fly. Convert JSON Strings to a Friendly Readable Format.

Actually I find JSON pretty user-friendly and readable by itself!

CodeMirror is a code editor implemented in JavaScript. It relies on the browser to display its content, and modern browsers are very good at displaying text. But it also displays a cursor, and controls its movement. To do that, it needs to be aware of some non-trivial properties of Unicode text. In this article, I'll outline the solutions I came up with. Understanding the edge cases of Unicode handling in the browser.

It’s damn hard to make robots walk on two legs. Hand-coding a walking routine will almost certainly fail. Even if you succeed in making a robot walk, the next robot that comes off the line might have a slightly different center of balance, and that algorithm you slaved over no longer works. Instead of enduring the inevitable heartbreak, you might use a GA to “teach the robot to learn to walk” rather than simply “teaching the robot to walk”. Everything starts with “Hello, World!” and so building a GA to reproduce that phrase is apropos.

In this post, we provide some tips and techniques on automating the testing of Windows 8 apps. Keep in mind that automated testing is a powerful technique and it requires some initial investment to reap the full rewards. The advice and examples in this post are meant to get you started, but you’ll need to build and maintain your own infrastructure on top of them. Test early. Test often.
