Wordpress is a beautiful example of how NOT to write your code. It has no MVC structure and has no single entry-point. The Wordpress developers probably never heard of functions, because every file is one big piece of lineair code.
Along with a bunch of other shit that users couldn't care less about.
It's easy to set up. There's a vibrant user community. The content management interface is easy to understand. End of story.
The key point of the parent article was made back in 2011, and a bit more clearly, by Bret Victor in his article "A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design".
Afterwards people will see how much of a non-issue it is, and no one will be afraid of dirty bombs anymore.
Yes, in exactly the same way that nobody is afraid of terrorists getting on airliners any more.
Let me rephrase because the sarcasm didn't really work. If there is a successful attack with fissile material, America will lose its mind so hard that the post-9/11 insanity that persists today will seem like a happy memory.
He may not run Microsoft, but he's the Chairman of the Board that CHOOSES the guy that runs Microsoft. And year after year, Microsoft's Gates-led Board reaffirms its faith in Ballmer.
Considering the lead Microsoft had in the mobile phone market, they were there in 2002 (before Blackberry, I believe), but somehow they never made it work.
Because Microsoft has no taste. It can't design for shit, and it never could. Thus we now have a situation where, in spite of Microsoft being "there in 2002", the iPhone business unit at Apple generates more revenue than Microsoft. Not the Windows Phone business unit - the entirety of Microsoft.
"I must say that for a product to reach the widest possible audience in a given time period, marketing is a necessity"
Two things:
1. You are confusing marketing with advertising.
2. You're jumping to a conclusion without asking the most obvious question: what sort of audience do you need to reach? Hint: where technical products are concerned "widest possible" is almost always the worst sort of audience to pursue.
The bible of technology marketing is still G.A. Moore's Crossing the Chasm. You should read it.
After study a couple of of the weblog posts on your internet site now, and I genuinely like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark web site list and will probably be checking back soon. I certainly will be recommend dice.com to all friends and good family.
Just like that 2012 Gallup survey of US citizens, the one that found 46% of American respondents believe an invisible superhero who lives in the sky created humans in their present form.
Forgive me if I consider US citizens something of an unreliable group when it comes to science.
Yeah, but Apple runs out of stock when it sells fifty million things in the first 48 hours after launch. Microsoft announcing "SOLD OUT" because it only sent one single unit to the retailer is a little bit different.
Yeah but thanks to the War on Terror, War on Drugs, and War on Just About Everything, US citizens are too pants-shittingly scared of the government to do anything.
As a southerhemispherer I remember being able to go outside without sun protection. Because the sun protection was, you know, the upper atmosphere. No chance of that now.
a loanshark an inconceivably large sum of money, and was only able to go about my business and you know, exist, because of the loanshark's continuing goodwill... I'd probably go out of my way to wish him happy birthday when it rolled around.

One restaurant/bar I frequent has a cellphone jammer behind the bar. Your shit goes offline when you enter the premises.
This.
My personal policy is to never face or engage in conversation anyone wearing Google Glasses. Ever.
Why isn't EVERYONE IN CONGRESS alarmed by this?
They like power.
No - they're afraid of looking unpatriotic. DRONES IS WHAT WE KILLS THE TERRISTS WITH, RIGHT? USA! USA!
Agreed that he's overrated in general, but the original Ender novel is excellent
Read it again as an adult. It's really not.
It's shallow, cliched, ethically-grey shit for emo pre-teens.
/facepalm
It's more helpful if, in the parent article, you replace "interact with other people" with "view advertisements".

It's a great piece.
Yep it's an apex predator all right. I hear Great White Sharks can't cross the international date line either.

How's that worked out for them?
Considering the lead Microsoft had in the mobile phone market, they were there in 2002 (before Blackberry, I believe), but somehow they never made it work.

Jewish science left two cities glowing in the dark?
some portion of the population continues to believe the outward physical differences between Blacks, Caucasians, and Orientals are significant

News for nerds, stuff that matters.

Just saying.
To be fair, a couple of exploits have slipped into the Android Market over time
Yes, in the sense that Apple is not on the verge of bankruptcy.
