Ok, lemme ask you this: What has been your favorite Bloomberg keyboard over the years? I preferred the mid-2000s mechanical keyboard before they started going lower profile keys, which suffered from off-center binding when pressing near the edge of a key.

Hey Andrew, former BB employee here. What's the dev experience like over there now? Back in 2011 when I left, RnD was leaning heavily on the custom JavaScript + IDE for frontend dev, and mostly cpp and non-relational mmap DBs on the backend. How have things evolved?

Does this also provide an api to paginate and provide text and images from the ebook?

This would also be useful for making signatures when needed on a website.

I had a lot more fun with that than I expected great work! I found my finger maneuvers not crisp enough to do anything with real detail.

One idea I immediately had was to use a key on the keyboard (if not on mobile of course) as triggers for draw, hover, erase, etc. You could also control different colors that way, possibly even draw generated shapes like circles and rectangles (press 'c' to start a circle, then use your finger to drag out the size, stop with 'c' again).

and if you want to get really advanced, allow rotation of the drawn object and then choose a new plane to draw on.

Why does ddg care much about desktop? Aren't they an online search portal?

make it optional =)

Hey, my 5 year old daughter loves that!

Freudian slip? =P

But it did say this: "For SAP, Oracle and PayPal, the majority of the employment reductions will be in software jobs."

I think it depends largely on the market you're in. In a rural area (or something far enough away from a large city) and may not have a lot of supply of software developers: credentials likely don't come into play as much. Raw experience may suffice.

But more populated areas will mean larger talent pools. Unless you're in a tech hub or a fast growing mid-size city, the amount of software jobs might not serve the pool. Credentials will matter more. Practically speaking :)

These could be today's satirists

>say, intimate private sharing, or the antithesis of the narcissist fest) and build up a loyal core of rabidly passionate users

Kind of describes Google Wave in a sense - private collaboration and passionate users. But it couldn't expand out of that niche set of users/use-cases.

I think you mean Toyota invested $500 million.

And what happens after I read...

Very similar idea to Multi User Dungeon (MUD) RPG games back in the day. Was that your inspiration? If you're not familiar with those you should check out their history.

Sure. But the headline leads the reader in a different direction despite "change" not meaning what people think it means: "NASA Study Finds Astronaut's Genes Changed While In Space"

I disagree. He targeted a specific audience linked to manga and anime. It's likely that demographic already knows the kinds of treats this service would likely offer. They just need to know there's service out there that will get them to you easily and regularly.

How about no managers with no management experience. I've seen countless senior devs promoted to eng/dev management roles who were either clearly not ready for the role or were simply not the personality to "lead".

Fingers crossed we don't see "PC Load Material" errors..

Many of Invisialign's patents ran out last year [1] and there have been a few 'startups' cropping up in this space doing discounted Invisialign-like work.

>My guess is that ultimately streaming rights will end up as their own category

That could get complicated if labels and artists have clauses to be involved in any new rights management categories. Everyone might have to renegotiate from the bottom up.

>but assuming that so called home countries brains only can do serious engineering is quite short sighted.

I don't think thats the point he's trying to make. The Indian IT industry was designed and built for a certain type of labor/outsourcing market. It will take serious investment and attitude shift internally for local startups to grow and retain talent. Much of that talent that is able to perform the serious engineering you describe continually leave the country for the U.S. and other markets.
