My 2 year old X200 has 1.3 hours battery time, decreasing rapidly. The display plastic is broken, the camera is broken and the mouse tracking nob is broken. It's the worst piece of laptop hardware I've ever had (compared to older IBM Thin

I have the suspicion - no, deep deep creepy fear that engulfs your heart - that E3 will become the next Duke Nukem. This might push me into insanity.

Of which 50% are abandoned and 25% are alpha. And 12% are duplicates and you need to decide which to use. At least that was the state in the 90s when all I did was Perl. [Fixed some English]

My take on this http://codemonkeyism.com/6-reasons-why-my-vc-funded-startup-... 1. We didn’t sell anything 2. We didn’t sell anything 3. We didn’t sell anything 4. The market window was not yet open 5. We focused too much on technology 6.

It's not about consumer satisfaction but about business models. They want the high margin Apple model (into which HP also wants so they bought Palm and in which RIM is). Then they need their own OS. That their OS setup is behind the market

Nokia wants to be Apple but acts like Dell, this does not make any sense. Disclaimer: Being Dell is nice, but you need to think like Dell concerning their, much lower, margins. And whatever Microsoft tells you, you're just one of many and c

50% of my Google use, as a non native English speaker, is for spell checking, even for tricky native German stuff, USD to EUR conversion etc and I've also never been using a calculator beside Google for some years now. Google just does that

From my experience people can programm( ) or they can't. I rarely have seen someone "learn" programming. A CS degree has nothing to do with it. Becoming a good programmer is something different. ( ) Deconstructing problems into smaller prob

Does the world need Malcom Gladwell?

Yes, astonishing how Oracle (and others) didn't check their code when this surfaced in PHP to determine if they are affected too.

I assume this hits Clojure, JRuby, etc. harder because it affects all values which are converted to Strings, but only affects Java when one explicitly converts to Double? So when a (Java) website expects an Int as input, it's not affected,

What I have learned: Take Munin (or your solution of choice) and install all plugins for infrastructure to use. It's hard to monitor too much, only too little.

Monitoring is one of the most important thing. Rule of thumb: Think of everything you wish you had monitored after a crisis has happened (which might be "everything").

I also (same book lineup as you and 4 hour week, Godin stuff, those other bad books from Gladwell, yes all of them, I still like Black Swan) came to the conclusion those hype cycle blogosphere books are not for me and only distract.
