On the one hand I see the issue too, but on the other hand, it is very useful, and it looks like those tools are some kind of open source collaboration: https://duck.co/ia/view/color_picker I don't know who c

The more interesting question is: Which large companies are morally worth getting our support?

Don't take away the illusion of free will when you can't give it back. Some people might actually like to think that they have free will. Or at least you could ask them which pill they want beforehand ;-)

Somehow this reminds me of the time when Google started to unify their login experience (one login for all Google services). That was the time I started actively avoiding Google services, and I still do. This incident is a good reminder of

Nice write up. If you want it down to the point I can recommend this StackOverflow/AskUbuntu answer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/68175/how-to-create-script-w...

I kind of wonder why everybody is so negative about me posting JAI here. I mean, yes the compiler isn't released yet, but that's why I wrote ' upcoming '. You write about the 'next great thing', but I was merel

You mean like stealing someone's business cards in order to promote his company?

So all this is about is bandwidth and attribution?!? I mean aren't they sending their users to your web page? Other people would be glad if they would just have to pay the hosting costs for an image to get people on their page.

I don't get it either... It's like calling a lawyer because Google links to your page.

I am sure it depends on the topic you are talking about. When I see something that doesn't match my ideals, I start talking about it, which creates some sort of a negative atmosphere. While I am sure the people around me value that per

Once upon a time, Google was known for those low-distraction text-only banners... What I am trying to say: The whole online advertising business would not be that creepy if Google and Facebook wouldn't compete on who can track more out

The correct response would be along the lines: 'Sorry, but you have to ask my boss if we can push it to the top of our task list as she has the overview over the priority queue'. That is different than a 'No, I don't hav

OT: Any idea why he doesn't seem to like the idea of an Open Source Nvidia driver for Linux? Does he see it as a risk, distraction or something?

Probably just a pat on the back :-/ but I don't know since they were employed at a different company. Nevertheless, my feedback towards their team lead was very positive, and that might have helped them too since they both collect

I know that once I motivated two full-stack developers to work a lot more than they were being paid for by saying 'just because the New York Times frontend developers can't do it, doesn't mean we can't do it'. I sti

It depends on the task at hand. The traditional project management knows three resources: Time, Quality and Budget. So if the job requires a very high level of Quality you might start by telling people you want them to do it right and time

Sure, the intention is relevant.

Most of what you say are qualities I like managers to have too, but 'someone tried to ask us for help with someone else's project without asking her first--she was furious.' is a quality I do not value. I mean, protecting you

IMHO, this reads like an email from someone who finally grew up and regrets the mistakes of his youth ;-) I think it is a good sign that Linus tries to improve upon his people skills and hope it will end with more than just 'a tool&#x2

Canada, UK, US and US territories use miles instead of kilometers [1]. So in a boolean sense you are right, but it doesn't really change the overall situation. Large version of the meme on that Page: https://i.pinimg.com&#x2
