Yes, all of my sessions disappeared

It's a risky idiom in general because it's often used to prevent debate. "Every existing product has feature X, so feature X is table stakes." "Why are we testing whether we really…

I code a lot on these. They're amazing on planes and trains as advertised, but I also spend a lot more time coding outside because they don't have the glare issues of a laptop scre…

I generally agree with your original comment, and I think a lot about Schmidt's quote when operating in a startup context. You're right that it's ironic in the Google context. Sear…

Start by answering why projects need to be easier to deliver. Of course they should be, but the nuance of the answer is the thing you measure. You see something that indicates that…

I think this is only hard for poorly informed KRs. If something has risen to your top hypothesis for what's holding your Objective back, just look at the signal that made you hones…

CloudFormation changesets are reporting "InternalFailure" for us in us-east-1.

Do you have any sense of why? It works best for me on small teams and startups, since that's where we need people to own and iteratively address full problems. "Understand and addr…

I'm not the downvoter, but perhaps they were annoyed with "Would Google of" rather than "Would Google have." That particular error really gets on people's nerves.

We're going too deep into this, for alexgartrell's relatively simple claim that covariant return types have a reason for being in the language, and that smart pointers omit that ca…

There are cases where covariant return types are abused, so it's fine that you treat it as a code smell. However, C++ does make them necessary for several valid patterns. This does…

Their polymorphic factory isn't returning "different types." They're both returning A. The derived one is just returning a specific type of A. If the shared "makeOne" returned nake…

Thank you so much! Sounds like a good ad. It sounds like they're describing the concept in the same way that we do. Shame that they're squeezing their branding into the revolution.…

Thank you. Good thinking. Anyone know a good one in Boston? Also, it turns out that the entire idea of their app was the same as ours. They had to be aware of us. Same name. Same a…

A few months ago, a friend and I created a Facebook app. The Like-o-Meter. It counted the number of Likes on your Facebook wall posts and challenged you to beat your friends. It wa…

That's half true. It's all or nothing on first use, but you can revoke any non-required permissions later: http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications

They should have printed the word. It's critical to understanding the story. This is the same mistake they made when Cheney said "Fuck yourself." They danced around the word, calli…
