A co-worker at my last job said she even had people go so far as to throw stuff out their windows at her as they passed while she was cycling... ever happened to you?

Really? I can understand different people having different pronunciations, but you have two yourself? Based on your mood or something?

Literally devoid of content. I think Giles sometimes hits the mark, but there was nothing here. Good manager is good, bad manager is bad and gets fired.

emacs Lisp still has that "bug."

Cool. I may have to give this a try.

Same. I can't on purpose. Occasionally on a bus or train I have, but I can't seem to induce that state intentionally.

I'm the same. These guys say 20 minutes is the best, but in that case I think we need to choose a better term than "nap", because I won't be asleep for almost any of that 20 minutes. Rest, perhaps.

That I can handle. It's the afternoon tryst with my secretary that leaves me incapacitated.

So do you just always get up after 30 minutes, even if you don't fall asleep for 10 or 15? I find the idea of timing the wakeup difficult otherwise. I guess WakeMate or a similar device might help.

Interesting point. I'll think about this more in depth. I can't say I'm convinced yet, but there are certainly persuasive arguments in your favor.

The fact that each article makes the front page shows that someone here does care AngelGate. Perhaps not founders, but "hackers."

Your ideas about the white fake CEO's make sense, but I'm not so sure about the hipsters. The problem there is even though hipsters do dress "unfashionably", they always do it in a way thats different than those who aren't trying at all. In

What if we argue, not from the good of the individual, but the good of society? Isn't there a saying that goes something like, "Society progresses one funeral at a time?"

What would the baseline be? Not told whether to nap or not? I imagine that's the same as non-napping, because most people don't nap.
346.
by Psyonic 16y ago
Not everyone can nap well. I can't sleep in the day. Even when really tired, if I try, I end up half-sleeping, waking up feeling really weird with my heart beating faster than normal. I have fallen asleep before (on a bus or something), but

Thanks, lukeqsee. I appreciate that. While I understand that its not unheard of for 8-5's to swallow good hackers, there are plenty of people with the drive to hack working day jobs, and not necessarily because they aren't brave enough to t

Jack London for older boys? Maybe his later works... I re-read The Call of the Wild last year, and it practically reads like a children's book.

Awesome work! Welcome to Google.

Kudos to you for responding to comments like these with patience and class. The cynicism on here about doing anything other than starting your own business drives me up the wall, but comments like yours help me keep my head.

Have you actually worked for google? Where do you get your information? Not everyone works 80 hours a week there, and plenty of smart people have walked through its halls, left to do their own thing, and sometimes even came back after their

I'd definitely be interested in attending that.

by Psyonic 16y ago
If you don't want to expand on that, can you point us towards more information elsewhere? I'm interested in this other paradigm.

Yes, but would a facebook phone really appeal to them? Also, if a market is saturated (i.e. high school kids), it can't grow by definition, so growth can be a misleading statistic.

What is their health insurance? It's true that Google employees don't have private offices (in general), though this isn't a big deal for me personally. Google doesn't have a discount card like Microsoft Prime, but they do have discounts wi

I completely agree. I was specifically asking krschultz why he thinks his hardcore poker-playing roommate would be interested.
358.
by Psyonic 16y ago
Why would a hardcore player want to play on his phone? Away from poker tracker, multi-tabling, etc? Seems risky, but might attract enough fish to be worthwhile.

Don't compare him to Patrick or he'll be next on lionhearted's chopping block!
