Dev Hoopla:

Why don’t designers take Android seriously?

Hack Programming Language

• Hack Isn’t PHP – Marco.org

PHP has always been poorly designed and poorly stewarded, but it\’s appealing to developers because it\’s easy to learn (and tons of programmers already know it, so it\’s easy to hire for), it\’s everywhere and runs on anything, it\’s very fast, and it\’s very simple to host and maintain server-side. In short, it\’s extremely practical.

Since Facebook is migrating its own code to Hack, pure PHP will become a less-tested second-class citizen on HHVM. This could devalue HHVM to the outside world, throwing away the benefits it’s bringing to PHP programmers everywhere. The closeness of the two languages will probably prevent this from becoming a significant problem, but it’s a problem nonetheless.

The post Office Hours | CR 61 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

Private citizen contractors engaged in the theater of battle might seem common place now, thanks to the war on terror, but in reality it’s one of the most transformational changes our Military has ever gone through, and most of us never noticed.

ACT 1: A new once a day drug can help prevent HIV infection, but it’s been announced during a major FDA Spying scandal, plus the biggest threat facing the United States of America, according to Lamar Smith.

ACT 2: How did companies like Blackwater get their start, what major policy changes were put in place to make this legal, and what the future looks like for these companies. We answer those questions, and a lot more.

ACT 3: It’s your feedback, and some of our follow up.

All that and much more, is coming up right now on, Unfilter.
