You left out a lot of context for that quote. Here's the full paragraph: > No wonder I feel guilty as I’m driving my children to see “The Lego Movie.” I should be taking them on a long hike or handing out aprons and baking cookies.

And if that's true, is it really much different than what we have today? If you have deep pockets, you can already buy speed by using the services of a CDN like Akamai. We already have an unlevel playing field.

What traditional reading speed/comprehension test did you take? I just took the one at readingsoft.com, and I felt like I could have guessed most of the answers in the test without even reading the text. I'm wondering if mosts com

If he hasn't already, the author should really read The Lean Startup before criticizing the term that it popularized. In the context of the Lean Startup, the V in MVP doesn't refer to financial viability. "To apply the scient

Camlistore looks really cool, thanks for posting it. I've been thinking something like this should exist for some time now.

Some are just websites, but I would say many of them are full blown apps: Gmail - email client Mog - Music player Google Voice / MightyText - Messaging TweetDeck - Twitter client Confluence - Team wiki Trello - Organizational tool Togg

Depends on your definition of inferior. I can count the number of desktop apps that I use on a daily basis on one hand, and they're all development tools. I have more than twice that number of pinned tabs in my browser that are open at

Yeah I think it's interesting that the final approach with "logical units" and "collaboration units" mirrors a functional approach with "functions" and "higher-order functions". The advice to wri

How do you measure educational value? If someone finishes 90% of the class but never takes the final exam, have they learned nothing? If someone finishes the class, aces the exam, and then promptly goes on living their life as an IT profess

Gotcha, thanks for the additional info. I might give this a try. I like how your approach requires some active work in order to check a day off, and how it automatically gives you a history of what you've done each day. I've tried

Are you actually committing code every day, or do you somehow represent non-code related progress (e.g. reading a programming book) in a repo?

You obviously appreciate thoughtful investigation into serious topics, and that's commendable. But I think you're going a bit too far here. I think most people on HN enjoy pg's essays because they tend to be well written and

Drones may cheapen war in the way that you describe, but that still doesn't negate the fact that they kill less innocent people than the weapons and tactics that we used to use. You seem to argue that the expense of a war can act as a

Well, you can already do java based config, which is not the same as annotation based config. As with XML config, Java based config lives outside of your application code in classes dedicated to configuration. You just use Java instead of X

My bad, I have the Galaxy Nexus through Verizon and assumed it was the same for other carriers. I forgot it was available unlocked through the Play store. I'm used to ignoring all of the news from Google and waiting an extra 6+ months
