I already applied the leap second to my browser so it won't hurt me at all.
Serious calamity averted again, by my Super-Programming Skills.
The rest of you, good luck. I'll probably be the only one on the Internet for that second.

After prolonged negotiations, EU authorities have finally agreed on laws that will ban roaming charges and enshrine the concept of net neutrality into our legislative systems. Road trip!

Nice!  It's only a rip-off these days anyways.

Microsoft may be interested in buying AMD, according to a new report citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Because... because... wait, there has to be a reason, right?
|
|
|
|

I'm not seeing the reason. Don't be an IBM, Microsoft. You've done such a good job consolidating your bloated divisions and assets. Don't jump back into full-fledged hardware, Nadella.

It sounds like a scene from a straight-to-DVD animated movie, but two rival self-driving cars almost collided in the middle of a Silicon Valley street earlier this week. The futuristic-sounding near miss happened when Google’s autonomous Lexus RH400h prototype cut off Delphi’s Audi Q5 when it attempted to change lanes.
Google cutting off competitors?
Not giong to mention Search Results here...

But did Audi show the Lexus a middle finger? If not, there is a bug...

Today, you are walking with the equivalent of what was supercomputer not too long ago — in your pocket. Long live the new Moore's Law?

3D circuits is the way to go! Putting RAM next to CPU could eliminate much access latency.

Is that a supercomputer in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Yup, people have been saying similar for a while. Doesn't make it not-news, IMO.

The way Livecoding works is pretty simple. Developers stream live video of themselves coding, and users watching can ask questions or give feedback. Thanks. I'll stick with Netflix

Don't know if they had backups at that time.
Today, most code on GitHub is duplicated on numerous client machines (as well as offsite backups); so loosing the main GitHub database will not be that bad.
I'd rather be phishing!

The article is about risk of Github becoming the next SourceForge!
I have repositories on every popular source code hosting. I dun put all my eggs in one basket! Right now, I am migrating away from SourceForge and Google Code(closing down).

GitHub et al. may be fine for open-source projects, but there is still plenty of proprietary code out there that no-one in their right mind would put on a server that they don't control.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The transition from command line to line-of-command requires a new mind-set -- and a thick skin. "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
Because I couldn't remember the source of, "The easy part was losing my mind."
|
|
|
|
|
In the (slightly depressing) possibility that anyone is actually considering this transition, I recommend the book : Managing Humans[^] (I used it in my brief time amongst the slippy ones)

Very much this. I did my time as a supervisor. When my boss pulled me aside one day during a corporate "restructuring" and told me that my direct reports were being taken away from me and all of us were going to report direct to him, I was actually giddy. I felt happier about that change than any pay raise I'd ever received.
