He’s been pursuing an old vision disguised as a new one. It turns out that Ozzie wasn’t finished with the problems Groove set out to solve. The app prophesied a new age of internet services where you could share files, instant message, and manage tasks with colleagues in real-time, but floundered under Microsoft (similarly, Wave floundered at Google). Today, Ozzie is reviving that vision with Talko, a new app for iPhone that’s coming soon to Android and web.

Ray Ozzie just can't stop rewriting this damn app, again and again and again, and taking 5-7 years each time.

As a former Groove/MS developer, I can't disagree, but the guy is fundamentally right. Groove was way better than SharePoint + email + Yammer + whatever...

At work we use Lync. Done.

Lync is fine for conferencing and IMs, but Groove was about secure workspaces in which you could share documents, calendars, messages, whiteboards, etc. and you could be sure that only the people who were invited to a workspace had access to the content.

It's fine up to http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/23/6829581/ray-ozzie-talko-app-confer. I think the link is just too long.

Good find. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

I've been fortunate enough to have never used blotus goats; but groove evolved into sharepoint, and having tried to do some development against SP once is reason enough to light my torch and grab the pitchfork from the barn.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

To get this straight, Ray wants to kill the conference call and replace it with an app that does conference calls, kind of like a bunch of apps already available. Genius!

I don't get it - why would a company pay to get likes on their page that they know not to be real?

I think the word you are looking is 'herd'...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

If I saw a page with 1 like, and a page with 1000 likes, I'm more likely to click like on the page with 1000.

mmm... strange. I just use the decription if there is any, if not I briefly open both and stay in the one it seems better for me or whatever... But I usually fully ignore the likes. Within and out facebook.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Higgs demonstrates how lazy code generation and other techniques improve compiler performance. That's not new: I've been using lazy code generation for years

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

I would like to see more details. But actually the many layers used by other compilers isn't to make things complex (no one will make things complex on purpose), on the contrary, the layers make things simpler, but lose speed.
Each layer usually is focused on a single kind of optimization. Putting everything in the same layer is like programming in assembler. It can be much faster to execute, but much harder to maintain.

What many people fail to understand is that Minecraft is also a platform for developers, and many of those developers are kids. "No you won't fool the children of the revolution"

Agile-only approach leads to lower quality code, research suggests. "One from Column A, two from Column B"
|
|
|
|

Not every sprint has to result in a coded deliverable - you can do up-front design in Agile if you want... I'd even advise it.
You should also be honest about your technical debt and schedule sprints in to address it - that should improve code quality.
