You really added to the conversation with this, thanks.

God forbid anyone make any money. Where I work we feed our engineers on the appreciation of free users. That's the only way to fly. Self-entitled much?

I didn't really like the article. It was too conversational with unnecessary anecdotes. While reading it I was pretty much annoyed by how the writer didn't respect my time and coul…

For years, from one job in the bay area to the next I worked on products that never made any money and ended up being canceled. Even when I worked on a project that ended up making…

> and the rest is total crap. Do you actually have an Android phone? Because this is totally not true at all. Like for example I just installed the imgur app and it's fantastic. I …

People with a shared opinion may have a variety of reasons for why they stand on an issue. By creating a label you make it very easy to dismiss at once the entire group without hav…

One of the quoted "transhumanists" is labeling those opposed to CRISPR as "bioconservatives", my first encounter with this word. Let's just keep labeling people and calling them na…

I carefully manage notifications. Notifications that buzz actually require my immediate attention: slack notifications, texts from my wife, important emails.

I don't think my pebble time is a gimmick. Not having to fumble through my bag to pull out my phone on every other notification or to check the time makes the pebble worth it. It's…

If I recall correctly this is a problem with virtualbox and not docker and it's only if the symlink is made in a specific way, like how npm makes symlinks.

It survived that with a cash infusion from Microsoft, not because it was showing results.

I love containers as I can finally give up OS X because docker makes developing with virtual machines so painless. I can now once again buy windows hardware and just do my dev usin…

Imperative != low level.

How is Java low level. Java is a high level language. What is "low level" about Java? Do you mean statically typed makes it low level? No it doesn't. It makes it safer though. Low …

> As far as the cultural impact of the companies themselves, I think it's been modest at best. Parents staring at their phones instead of paying attention to kids. Social networks …

The killer list app will appear when AI is better. Lists are very personal things. They can cause stress, they can be important or not so much depending on the context. They inters…

Oh I wasn't saying not to use a bipolar transistor. In any case, both would work. Good luck!

The gpio pins have low tolerance. Apply more than the 8mA or 3.3v and you permanently damage your board. LED's usually require 20mA to achieve a good brightness so you have to crea…

Have you tried a BeagleBone Black or any kind of BeagleBoard? What are you scaling RPi's for? Arduino and Raspberry pis strike me as toys compared to BBB's. BBBs are a lot less for…

That's a nice setup. Only thing that is incompatible with our react redux setup is thunk. We use redux-promise to work with async/await from babel stage 0.

The $1mm donation to St Jude's was pretty classy, even given the crooked scam. I hope it helps some kids.

Maybe there's no response because you tried to contact them over thanksgiving and not because of malice.

Did he even try to contact Udemy support and get a response? It would seem like the thing to do before writing a hit piece. I interviewed at Udemy, but ended up taking a position s…

What you're saying sounds like that in the absence of evidence that GMO causes harm you're just going believe whatever you want. There's no scientific basis to suspect GMO of causi…

Like the other commentator, the stated problems in your comment have nothing to do with GMO, they are a problem with a specific company and patent politics. I don't like software p…
