I agree, I believe it is because of the shift in programming languages from Compiled (C/C++) to Hybrid(Java/C#) to Interpreted(JavaScript). Most people probably went to school and learned at least one Compiled language, and are familiar with the concepts of a Hybrid language so that is an easy jump, but even I have a little trouble getting used to the Interpreted language style of JavaScript, and yes, of course the DOM as well.
"Hire someone who annoys you" Seriously? Do you want to spend the whole day having arguments and being stressed out about stupid shit? Is that really a better way to build products?
There's no insight here, just soundbytes that everyone interprets differently.
I believe what he meant by this, and don't take my word for it, but I believe what he was saying is that someone who may annoy you, is probably someone who will challenge your decisions and ideas, and that will make a better product because he may point out something that you did not think about.
At least, that is what I got out of that statement
So what about locked BIOSs and the like, where booting off of a CD/USB Drive is either not enabled or isn't first
I mean it would work in some situations but in other situations you would be forced to use whatever you have in front of you.
Of course, I'm thinking the computers would have competent IT workers...
Wait a minute, couldn't this be easily done with a simple timer, that every X minutes, when the user is at his desk (could be registered with mouse movements or if the computer is locked or not depending on the policy), and tells the user to take a break.
Much less invasive and can be programmed by any decent coder in less than a day.
Really? I grew up in a religious household and I respect people for their views on creationism (although I do not agree, no matter how long you believe a "day" is), but evolution is just as plausible if not more so, because they have some evidence, not none(well besides an old book re-written a million times and re-worded just as many times).
From the article: "In 2009 the Texas Board of Education said that students should be taught "all sides" of current scientific theories."
but creationism isn't allowed because it's religious. I'm so confused.
Sorry Texas but stop your backwards ideas/views and join the real world
I think it is that people expect online streaming/downloading/storage as a standard now, pushing companies to release (often half-@$$) products to make a quick buck and get your online business.
It is US that must slow down and force companies to re-think whether they really need that product online or not.
Think of use cases. What are the clients of your API be doing the most?
What choice will cause the least astonishment to your users?
This is a usability problem. Do what will confuse your user the least. Ask them if you have to.
Write code for both cases against your API. Use it and see what works and what doesn't.
There is no easy answer, this is a design question and aesthetics matter, hence it's rather subjective.
In any case, take into account if your target development platform uses any conventions, and if so stick to them.
I agree, the most common usage of your Stream API is where you should derive the names from
Also you should think of who will be using this, are they experienced developers??
If so, then they probably just need a clarification of which is which in your documentation, and they should be fine with either version.
Just my 2 cents, from a programmers perspective.
This is why a lot of stores provide free wi-fi. Strangely, competitors sites are slow to load. Hmm.
Do you think that stores will create a giant Faraday Cage around themselves to limit access to outside influences?
I mean I have seen it in schools, whether by design or just the over-use of concrete with rebar.. it makes me wonder... what if?
Having at least 2 Projectors each capable of running either the same or different desktops can be very nice. you could even have them set up to their own computers or better yet to a giant kvm switch so anyone's computer can be displayed for everyone to see.
break rooms/vending machines/gyms are nice, and lockers are even better to store everything for work in.
ever consider a simple courtyard with a few benches?? might be nice to relax for a few or to have lunch under a tree or a cig.
i'm not a fan of particle board walls, so keep it open with lower walls if any to separate desks.
I find that sometimes having multiple people working at one desk can inspire more collaboration and creativity if they work tightly together.(based on projects, not personality)
Just my 2 cents....

Raspberry Pi anyone?
Thank you CmdrTaco (Rob),
You have inspired countless tech freaks(geeks) over the years, and hopefully for years to come
You have created a great community here, even if there are a few trolls, you can't kill get them all. =D
Thanks again,

Sry it took so long. Your invite should be in your inbox
So did everyone on slashdot get an invite already? Or do you need one? Reply with an e-mail and ill try to get ya one asap

Wait a Minute... Didn't they take away the Install Another OS feature due to "security concerns."
And now the PSN has been hacked, my information taken and I'm now at risk of fraudulent credit card charges....
I'm sorry but where's my check????
