It sure seems like most tech jobs would only need therapy as a means of last resort. Keeping a mindful eye towards burnout and adjusting your response to it based on the type seems…

This approach to discussing inheritance treats JavaScript as if you're a Java or C++ programmer, and completely lacks any clarity with how inheritance in JavaScript really works. B…

A few different police departments in California are trying out camera systems. I've only heard about Rialto, but I know they're being tried out in the Bay Area, and I think wider …

This sort of "git pull" slam is really just an aftershock of shooting yourself in the foot. The UX of git is so different from other tools, but seems so similar. It's a real proble…

Non-compete clauses are void in California http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#California

I wonder if people will be happier or more frustrated with the lottery setup. And... I wonder if such a lottery system would help take on general ticket scalping. (I could see a lo…

edit: I could see this being just a good general approach to development. Like a concrete how-to on doing continuous delivery from day one. I've even started using grunt with a C++…

The effect is just reminiscent of a very simple FM synth; you start with a sine wave and add another waveform whose cycle starts below the audible spectrum. Start cranking it up, a…

I love this idea. I think this is a fantastic opportunity for us plebs to start speculating. It would be very nice to see if the crowd has a different kind of investment trend from…

Right, it's a little disappointing that the blog of a fairly well-known economist just uses some basic anecdotal evidence. I'd hope he'd provide some kind of deeper insight, but I …

The RequireJS plugin system is really useful. Alex Sexton's handlebars plugin is a great example of what sets this apart: https://github.com/SlexAxton/require-handlebars-plugin - T…

Right, the group I'm in often will have "coordinating members" join as well, from designers, QA, the PM, even the VP will stop by to see whats going on, and sometimes we get 10-15 …

Right, the problem is just that "unread counts" aren't that nice of a feature for RSS feeds, because not all posts are created equal. (Hell, it's not even that nice of a feature on…

What's interesting to me here is that I don't see anything but the "Android" brand being mentioned. Several people on this thread mention having several Android phones, but not sev…

TL;DR Gruber says "open vs closed" isn't really useful for determining commercial success. I agree, however, Gruber's writing doesn't make it really obvious that he's slamming some…

Right: we "rescued" a lab who has been great, but had a lot of anxiety built up over being simply being left alone. People coming by the door eventually led to him destroying the f…

It seems like this "diametric incompatability" could be a good subject for case study blog articles. Off the top of my head is the shifting of "sponsored links" to take over the in…

Has anyone actually encountered an issue with version 2 that would really piss them off that it's not fixed? I rarely encounter problems, and when I do, a quick restart get's every…

I tend to think of "coolness" as a kind of reason behind early adoption, more like "this thing as a large opportunity for catching on". I'm not 100% sure would make the argument th…

My sense is that Yahoo is about to start doing some reorganization. - There might be some trial and error runs of different managers (ergo, a period of quick reorganization) - Lead…

Right. I get more of the sense that Google is more "impressive" than "cool". If I were to use "Google's got it in production" I might be told something like "well they can pull thi…

Yes, but at what point does go transition from obscurity to PG's "python paradox"? http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html It sure seems Scala's in this "python paradox" land now. My …

Using syncing as a developer makes sense to me because syncing or backup is not versioning. Versioning (using git) is about marking state at a period of time. Such that, in the fut…

A practical step might be for tool-authors to always ensure their tools are obviously customizable for a variety of initialization needs. Very few IDEs have made it easy to distrib…
