Yes, but pretty much by definition a message that isn't handled is almost certainly a bug.

I loved Forth as a kid, I thought it was a great language to learn on. I think that it's much better than BASIC for small projects and I would love to see someone make an arduino or BASIC STAMP type product (maybe kickstarter it?) with

Several times I've seen VCs force the shutdown of consulting businesses in companies to make them "focus" on the product. This is an example of where VC's interests and the companies are not aligned and VCs are pursuing

VCs aren't assholes, generally, but their standard terms are a bad deal for founders, generally. I've thought about this a lot over the past 25 years. In the past I've seen VCs do really bad things (like force decisions th

Thought about that, but found a situation before trying it. I think I will do that next time... which is kinda sad, cause really, my experience makes me really valuable.

Please describe the "shit" you would like us to build. I'm asking seriously. Are you saying we should build a big open source project like Angular or Rails? What are the odds that either of us could build the next Rails th

"most bright engineers were promoted into management so the ones left programming at 40 weren't so bright." Just wow. Quite a bit of agism there. In my experience most CEOs are not technical, and thy want "business guy

I'm approaching 50, am employed, though I've found that the job search is a bit harder now-- particularly with bay area startups I saw a %100 correlation: If the interview as on video (eg: they could see the white in my beard) I d

Do you consider losing %98 of its value "stable"? The US Dollar has lost at least that, probably closer to %99.9999, though it's harder to measure now that the fed is not giving us reliable stats anymore. Do you realize the

I'm the kind of guy who would marry another guy. So, I have standing to have an opinion about Gay Marriage. I don't want the government in marriage AT ALL. Making the laws "more neutral" means getting gender out of th

Bailouts are not part of capitalism. IF we want to have a healthy economy, it's imperative-- not just "right" or "good", but imperative -- that uneconomic businesses be allowed to fail. That's what clears the

How about get rid of medallions and let a free market exist? Uber is going to provide it if they don't, in fact, that restriction on the market-- artificially for political purposes-- is what made Uber possible.

It's an alt coin, it's pre-mined and because of that it cannot be a successor to Bitcoin which was not pre-mined. (Though Satoshi mined a little bit, that bitcoin has been left out of circulation.) For alt-coins pre-mining general

It's got Journalling, and since that point I've seen no evidence of it corrupting any data, despite several catastrophic drive failures (early SSDs) and the need to restore from Time Machine.

by MCRed 12y ago
And why isn't he giving more details? He's being kinda broad without being specific enough. At this point my guess is he's been running HFS+ without journaling turned on (you can format drives this way) and experienced data

Plus, since the day they added journaling to HFS+, I haven't lost a single byte of data due to corruption of any kind. I've had drives failed, where I lost a day's data (Was traveling and away from my time machine drive) and

Since Agile became a buzzword (and before that "Extreme Programming!!1!") about 14 years ago, I've never seen it work right. I've never seen either of these have a net addition to the performance of the team. 2 develop

That's excellent! I find the cost of a "15 minute" standup is more like 1.5 hours. First, it's hard to get any work done in the 30 minutes leading up to the meeting because I'm trying to come up with what to talk

When those means are merely exercising free speech rights it really isn't a case of ends justifying the means because there's no need to justify. Free speech doesn't require justification. Plus they're using those free

I give credit to Google for publicly announcing the shutdown and doing so in advance. (Unlike amazon that just rips products out of the site. Can't go there to find movie times anymore!)

Everyone claims they want to hire the best, but their hiring process is all about filling the pipe with unwashed masses and then putting them thru a grueling filtering process. All of these companies, including google, are following a silly

Except they did "bother to go for" me, to the point where they didn't stop until I threatened them with a harassment lawsuit. Google does not have a lot of prestige, they have a long record of questionable at best ethics. How

But, unless you were being an ass to that interviewer, whether you got along or not is not a measure of your quality as an employee. Presumably you were being polite and trying to develop a rapport. That means you didn't get along beca

Why not simply make an SSD Controller that has a thunderbolt port? Since Intel is building thunderbolt into its support chips now, this seems like a good way to get quick performance, plenty of bandwidth without having to come up with new

I think a more interesting question is, how has the ROI of college changed over the past 40 years? The cost has gone up much faster than inflation. The number of people going to college has also risen dramatically. This means there are a l

You should read the book The Creature from Jekyll Island and learn about how the Federal Reserve was created, what it is (hint, it's a private bank), who owns it, and what it has done over the past 100 years. The federal government has

Inflation, by the government's own numbers which tend to under report it, reached over %10 during the bush administration (and has been probably over %20 for most of the Obama administration.) "Inflation" as reported by CNN

No, the Asset Forfieture program came into existence in the 1980s as part of the war on drugs. The USA has only existed for a couple hundred years, and the US constitution has as amendment 4 a specific prohibition on these kinds of thefts.
