I would miss a world without Word. Word is how I know whether to apply for a job or not.

If you only accept resumes in Word format, you're not the dinosaur I want to work for.

How can this data not be public domain?

This is an interesting question. I wish this question was put forth to the Supreme Court.

That's a really great idea! It would be a solid step in the right direction.

Cool. Is an iOS version comming?

I'm tempted to notify all my friends, delete my account, recreate it under a pseudonym, and re-add my friends, while being much more careful this time around with what I share and my privacy settings.

Seems like they hitched their wagon to the wrong horse going with WP7 over Android.

If you're not looking for a game industry job (Gamasutra), where do you suggest someone should look for a low-level job?

Another issue that wasn't covered is duplication of effort.

Imagine working on a feature for weeks, only to realize that other people with more experience and knowledge of the project are doing the same work.

What's the incentive from the maintainer's point of view to reduce duplication of effort? The maintainer's not paying either developers, and they have a backup if one of them doesn't come thru.

But from a developer's perspective, it's frustrating to put efforts into a patch that doesn't end up being used.

You're correct, but the parent brings up a valid (if a bit off topic) point.

Eye candy is great, but Javascript has often been a vector for privacy issues. Hence the popularity of Noscript and most browsers having an option to disable Javascript.

The problem is that people are attracted to (real) infographics. Using a more accurate word means fewer visitors. So, sadly, I doubt it'll ever happen.

I have the impression that new grads aren't attracted to low-level programming because of the greater proportion of higher level programming jobs.

I think low level jobs need more visibility. Perhaps a monthly "Who's Hiring" thread for low-level jobs would help.

(Not to get too meta, but..) I really like the domain name. It looked like "0x10 code" when I first saw it.

I was most surprised by the average age of founders. Early 30s is about a decade older than the media let me to believe.

Perhaps the median age would've been a more insightful statistic.

You're right, it's not, but maybe people are wising up to the username+spam_source@gmail.com trick.

Wow indeed. I hope this doesn't affect the development of the Playstation 4.

You may not be trying to make a point about bubbles, but I think many of us will come to the same conclusion.

Come to think of it, didn't the last bubble start very similarly too?

One over-inflated stock begat another and another..

Bullshit in, bullshit out.

An interviewer with any level of experience doesn't ask bullshit questions.

Indeed. My "OLPC" was a C64. I was terrible in school, but now I have a great career.

I wouldn't call my parent buying me a C64 a bad investment.

Also, something as simple as a short youtube video makes a world of difference.

  The solution, according to RIM VP Alec Saunders is to remove
  sideloading of third-party apps, which RIM is going to do
  in an upcoming software update.

Yes, the solution is to annoy your customers of course.

The problem is that a lot of HR departments won't consider people without degrees. A Stanford degree opens a lot of doors.

This is one of the reasons I have a lot of hope in online education. When it becomes mainstream, HR departments won't be able to ignore it.

This is annoying. This will conflict with the matrices in my code.

Could this be simply seasonal?

I'm more surprised that 10,000 people only represented 6% of their workforce.

3: I've rarely seen "Yoda conditions" [1] in the wild. I think it's because most compilers will output a warning when doing an assignment inside an if statement.

Also worth mentioning is the failure of Vita to compete against Apple. Sony might want to concede their defeat in the portable market and concentrate their energy on the Playstation 4.
