Thanks for the link to that page, which contains a large image of a screenshot using San Francisco as the system font. To me, it looks really great as a system font. The reason is that it is legible. That legibility comes thru the junk on

The ONLY reason I've ever seen to hate iOS is ideological. The stuff you're suffering from is due to the good things about iOS-- it treats the battery well giving better life, and longevity. Apple doesn't hate widgets and bl

I cut my teeth programming this machine and learning the ins and outs of how it worked. We were much closer to the hardware in those days-- you could have things like disks that wouldn't work on some machines because the variance of t

I'm sure he meant the other springfield. (There's a lot of them.)

You're correct that the FISA needs to be repealed as well, and it's continued existence shows the PATRIOT ACT is not an anomaly. Those egregious violations of human rights need to be prosecuted, not "reformed". I don&#x

I don't like the word reform. I think the correct word is Repeal. "Reforming" by bandaging over is not sufficient. These "reform" bills can also be very long and end up containing things that make things works. A r

Whatever happens in the short term the PATRIOT Act can be repealed. If, that is, we have a congress and presidency that will let it die. Since 2001- 14 years- we've had both congresses and presidencies that supported and renewed this p

Can't really see the code on the left, it's blocked by the big margins and the split with the webGL on the right. Enlargement gets rid of the margins but also makes the text in the code box bigger.

I'm guessing it's the best domain name the founders had already.

IF there are 10X engineers out there, would they not be charging at least 2X what regular engineers charge? And where is the startup who is willing to pay even 1X what an engineer is worth? The people going on and on about "hire the be

This is an important topic, but I disagree with their results: -- Squatting is not a sign of failure of name coin or it being in "disrepair". Despite it's unpopularity (mainly due to "someone got there first!" jeal

I worked at Amazon at the time that blog post was written and this was not a part of the methodology. While it's true they released press releases with BS. EG: The "drone delivery" is an example (no way they are working on

Consider this: People are different. The answer may be specific to you. One area that's getting some awareness in the literature is that some people are normally sensitive to insulin and some people are resistant to it. Now, I'

I think they will. They shipped "Hitachi" drives for awhile, but now are branding them Toshiba. I think the same thing will happen with OCZ-- they introduce a Toshiba branded drive, that's exactly the same as the OCZ and ov

Absolutely. I had dinner last night with a Millennial (I'm Gen X) and he was telling me something about how people acted and I reacted surprised-- and it turns out he means people of his generation. He was an exception to that behavi

Binding Arbitration is a solution to this- companies don't sue each other so much these days because they just get it resolved by hiring a mutually agreed arbitrator from one of the Binding Arbitration organizations. The number of case

C Players think that they are A Players and believe in only hiring A players. This has been my experience for the past 30+ years. I've worked with people much better than me and much worse than me, and hired many people for startups

Yep. There's nothing wrong with presenting them with a problem and asking how they would solve it, and giving them constraints as they go. Making them write code is much more challenging because it brings up things irrelevant to thei

I don't think there is such a thing as someone who has the potential but hasn't done it. You should always have some projects you did, even in school, to talk about. If you haven't done any projects then your education is

This is a good strategy and it's one I've employed, but what I've found a lot of the time is that you get nothing from the candidate. Basically you ask them questions and they give you short, often vague answers. They don&#x

I'd like a real explanation for why containers are better than unikernels. Yes, unikernals are still early, and containers are convenient, because you have all of linux there... but it seems that running several linuxes on a linux mac

Regarding #1 specifically, it sounds like there are more than one founder already. I know solo founders are frowned upon, but more than 2 and you have to wonder how many of them are dead weight. The ideal team might be 3 or 4, but really at

You can go to vegas and blow $100,000 in a weekend, but you think it's too dangerous to let people put that in 10 seed stage startups? Because they might lose the money? Further, I'm a sophisticated investor, I've done very

You're not missing anything. It's kind of intrinsic to the system-- when you have VC that wants really high rates of growth then they will require/force the startup to take a path that may be much higher risk but also much h

That people try to dominate and manipulate others for business gain? Is that what you have an incredible amount of difficulty believing? Well, I can tell you based on my experience in startups going back to the early 1990s that it happens
