Genius does not emerge solely from tenacity. Genius comes from figuring out new things to try in pursuit of a goal over a long period of time. If you tried something and failed, how many permutations could you go through before you ran out

I've been told that the fewer times your die bounces, the more random the roll will be. The reason given was that each time it bounces, you give an opportunity for a slightly heavier side to roll towards the bottom. Obviously you shoul

This might make the VRML included in MPEG4 useful. Could possibly use it to pass along the physical constraints and other data needed to make it interactive. ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_11

This happened long ago with the turn signal solenoid. That clicky sound when you flip your trafficator? That used to be a real physical switch opening and closing with electromagnets. Now most people have forgotten what it really sounded li

Why does the size of a base image matter? What happened to the shared layers between images? Did the new file systems completely sacrifice that? The original filesystem (AUFS) used shared read-only layers, so if two images used the same bas

Does anyone track the quantity of work under Creative Commons? How does that compare to the volume and quality of public domain works lost to draconian Copyright extensions?

I remember when Microsoft teamed up with IBM on OS/2, so I'd predict that Microsoft comes out with its own brand of Linux within 5 years. That will give them time to learn what they need to include/exclude and support.

Any way to find out how many machines had this capability? I don't think the universities were installing the monitoring hardware, just tapping into them. I seem to remember one on the UF campus in the early 90's.

Agreed, that's why I shut down a company account with 1200 Likes -- even when I paid the Facebook $10 toll, I couldn't reach the 1200 who'd already said they wanted to hear from me. It was better to stay with my Mailchimp mai

Given that most startups fail, one could consider the whole startup ecosystem a form of charity that, hopefully, produces enough wealthy people to keep the wheels turning. With luck, some of the beneficiaries of GiveDirectly prosper enough

The video poison is spreading to software documentation too. I can't imagine a bigger waste of time than watching someone type code or work on a command line, yet I've gotten the request many times. For GUIs I can somewhat sympath

Ditto on the interview -- and if you really enjoy helping other engineers meet their goals you might want to consider a career in Developer Support. I've really enjoyed mine! Other variations on Developer Support include Professional S

Thanks for the compliment! I ran the dotCloud support group from 2012 until we sold the platform, and we tried very hard to be approachable. I also worked with the acquiring engineers and found them to be excellent. They're super nice,

Why were they only taking 4 classes per day? They are 30 minutes longer than my high school classes were, but we had 7+ different classes per day. I'm pretty sure our day lasted till 3:30 or 4pm. We had 5 minutes to get to the next cla

One of the problems with writing about super intelligence is that none of us are smart enough to do it. Writing already makes us wittier than speaking, giving us a chance to edit our words and show our thoughts in the very best light we can

I have a hard time believing this is a real appeal for sympathy and advice. It sounds too much like a parody. If it is true, then you're probably doing the right thing by quitting your current job. You don't want to be the bad app
