I don't know any _real_ telecommuters, at least not developers, who would ever be compelled to click on anything related to CareerBuilder. Thus, this survey obviously only attracted monkeys. Worse yet, it is/will be picked up by news sites and used to dissuade companies from considering allowing workers to work remotely.

I say this survey was entirely bunk and unscientific. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the results weren't purely made up by a hungry "writer".

It's cool to sell $100 HDMI cables that people don't need, but omg if you try to sell an adapter that many of us need... well that's illegal!

Hey I've got an idea! Let's just ditch the HDMI on both ends and go mini-dp.

... spend 6 billion to make Larry Ellison's head bigger

or ... spend 10 million to remove Larry Ellison's head

From a pure business standpoint the decision is obvious.

That's a nice idea, but since the US practically revolves around the stock market, Steve Jobs' health is of utmost concern to "the powers that be".

If our economy wasn't so utterly leveraged against play money, the man could have some peace. Not "The Man", mind you, but the man. And hell, "The People" could have better peace too I'm sure.

Markus is a spoiled, rich crybaby. He's made so much money off that hideous site for so many years (and boasted about it for ages on his blog)... you would think he could afford proper security audits and support to close holes.

Basically he's been sitting on his ass technically for nearly the entire time, and now he's pissy because his lack of attention bit him.

And for the record, OkCupid.com is so immeasurably better than PoF in every way, it's time for the old whale to die.

I find it a subtle, tasteful improvement. There's just enough change to be fresh without losing its brand or feel. Also I find it more spacious and cleaner.

Cheers on the redesign!

I won't bother speculating why C++ became dominant (any more than I feel like rehashing VHS vs BetaMax), but I will say this: any language that needs a series of books explaining how NOT to use the language (lest you create obscure bugs) is an inherently flawed language.

With assembly there's an excuse - you have no boundaries (no pun intended). You realize you're operating on bare metal, or at least one step above it. But with C++ you have this belief that you have the illusion of power and safety, but the reality is you have a jumble of constructs and tools that can easily be used wrong (and often are by novices and intermediate developers).

I daresay you could teach an intermediate coder how to do OO in straight C and get better results than if they were trying to use C++.

And yeah, I'm in the camp of "Obj-C is better than C++". But then, I like Ruby, Lisp, Clojure, and Scala too. C++ really needs to die. Any further energy spent on C++ needs instead to be put into JVM and other abstraction technologies.
