Yep, a missile from just about anything would spell the end of this "tank". If it stopped.50 rounds, I'd be impressed. Not sure if I'd even want to park one on my drive way, might make the neighbors think less of me.
so basically... unfit for production environments is what you're getting at...
Haven't done a whole lot of work with python, but I'd expect it to be fairly bug free at this point given how long it's been around and what it's used for typically.
Maybe to let UI only devs write for the server side? I once interviewed for a UI position that had AJAX listed in the requirements because the UI's they were making (or something...) had heavy server side integration, so UI code > a lot of server code. Other than that, I could've sworn this was tried and eclipsed before.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet, but 3... 2... 1...
JS programmers belong on the UI side because:
a. Server side code requires a lot more factors to be considered (ex. viewstate (.NET), rendering, # of calls, etc...)
b. The web is trashed with bad javascript, I'm not saying server code is much better, but at least I don't have to see it on a view page source. Too many JS programmers don't understand how to "link" their.js files...
c. It's different enough from server side development that coupled with html and css development can easily eat through 40 hours a week every week.
Developing a hit game doesn't make you good at business. IMHO he jumped way too soon, win 8 hasn't had as much of a chance to catch on yet... and will it catch on? Investing $$$$ & porting to an unproven platform is like installing sql server 2012 on your production environment the day it came out, you're asking for a hailstorm of shit to come down on your head.
Well... I'm comfortable with creating archive parts, so I don't really pay attention to file size limits. Maybe lax restrictions wasn't the best description, but usability and integration with windows is great. It's the first desktop "drive" folder that I've used that works and I've been trying with them ever since google came out and somebody wrote a parts app to upload files to the 2gb they gave you back then. I also like the interface a lot more (yaya windows tiles), dropbox looks very business oriented and I could use a little less of that. Another perk is that it's my windows live account, which is one less account for me to remember.
P.S. It's not supported on Linux to the best of my knowledge, limiting options, google drive is going to be an interesting one to see.
Exactly, the incentive is icing on the cake, the cake however is switch to IPv6 or get off the internet grid. It does cost business man-hours and carries a potential of downtime, but every business IT team is competent enough to do this right?:)
I'm just going to throw this out there... since I don't have any points to mod down
Internet habits can be an expression of mental state... but let's think about this... so IS EVERYTHING ELSE. Your style of clothes, mannerisms, speech patterns, ALL of those stem from mental state. I can have 20-30 tabs open at a time while I'm writing code, does that make me depressed? no, paid? yes.
Some people put the TV on to say drown out external noise and then focus in on what they're doing on their computer, a TV is easier to focus with than the contractor's saw at your neighbor's house.
I can go on and on with examples, but let's just say these studies have no merit.
The fish needs a better name if this does take off, Hagfish is not viable from a marketing standpoint. Also the slime needs a more scientific name: Hagis Slimus shirts anyone?
Sounds like a PR move to me, with all the bad press they've generated lately, they must be desperate for some good PR. Besides that foxconn plant in China seems cursed, can't blame them for wanting to get away from that mess.
True... real business men don't need federal grants to create their money making machines. Quality is their problem, that's a symptom of bad decisions from the top down.
Where you have to make a decision to try and move up from the ground level or not, the truth is that working at ground 0 and being good at it, you can hit your cap pretty quickly. You can become a contractor to try and earn somewhat more, or go fully independent as a consultant at which point your running your own business. Or you can try for that masters and try to move up into management, IT Mgr is typically around 100-120k, which is quite a bit higher than most techs make, even the higher up ones. Senior developers can make about that, I've heard of senior admins making more than that, but management is almost a guarantee (unless you hook up w some sub-par employers, but that applies to all tiers of IT).
The formula isn't as much skill for pay as responsibility for pay. The more you "own" the higher your pay should be, owning a team of engineers is more responsibility intensive than owning your code parts of a program. The personality types that best manage are different form the personality types that are the engineers, so that probably contributes to some of the "flatness". Especially since most companies no longer promote from within (every 2-3y job turnover theory), it's becoming more important to be able to sell yourself as a tech. The worst decision anyone can make in the current IT industry is a 10 year gig: your skills will be outdated 90% of the time, and your pay relatively flat.

So we've gone from using flashlights and reflectors for signalling with light to a wire capable of 1+ T/s also using light. Love it.

I've always like skydrive a lot more than dropbox due to it's more lax restrictions. Nothing to do with the programming language whatsoever.

It was the developers choice to port it, M$ didn't hold a gun to his head on this one.
Nope, look like they're staying "casual" through 2013, and gamers will continue to make up most of the game industry.
He whined, so MS would take notice and help him off-set his loss. Not the most ethical of practices, but seems to have worked.

I'd argue higher QC standards too, but apple hasn't really had a problem with that from a hardware standpoint.

And how do you think monster.com or dice.com or jobseeker.com make their money?
There's big money in big data, it's kind of hard to resist.
Probability wise, some of those execs like little boys so... ... ...
