How do you fit an elephant? One parameter at a time.

The version of this I have heard is "The creative adult is the child who survives"

The most important insights I have to offer is this: Ask for help. Offer it as well, but you _must_ ask for it. Do you want to be friends with invincible people who never need your…

I am reminded of Pratchett and co's ideas on narrativium, which I apparently imbibed and internalized early enough that it has made me one of these life-writers. "We are not Homo s…

I love that Matthias is getting some love on Hacker News. His home page is one of those amazing corners of the internet I really enjoy revisiting. And as a fun way to pass time I a…

Same goes for many of the NYC offices. Our space near Empire State seems to have a lot of consulting businesses that would otherwise be renting out something more complicated (need…

If you stay within the Apple ecosystem like they really want you to, then you don't need that because your thunderbolt display has an ethernet adapter as well as some extra usb por…

I actually just read through the last dozen or so articles about the F-35 on breadkingdefense, they don't sound like fans of the F-35 so much as they just are enthusiastic in gener…

Could someone who has seen this and the other version point out what makes it alternate? This is the only version I have seen.

One of the things I always feel when I read something like this is that I am running out of time. I'm 29, so this is a comparison that's easy to make. And because I feel like maybe…

Given the choice between a lecture in which I am more engaged, learn more (however slightly more), and am fundamentally just enjoying myself more or the alternative: give me the fu…

The idea that: "By reading, you learn through others’ experiences, generally a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are …

Every yacht seems to go backwards as well! Glad someone else noticed.

It's interesting to hear that "A" means "competent" in the USA. I'm assuming that you aren't just making an off the cuff statement of course, and if you aren't I'd like to share so…

I help run a leadership conference where there is a significant portion of the time devoted to small group reflection. I find personal reflection greatly rewarding and practice it …

Sounds a lot like a graphical version of Dwarf Fortress, without a lot of the complexity.

Looking forward to his Joomla based Texas Poker app also :-/
