   Hope that in-house chips work out better than in-house maps.

   I worked for a streaming media startup that partnered with old-line media parents. Parents killing their new-media spawn is by now well-established practice, and nobody should be surprised about the struggles of Hulu. The media giants depe

   With this scheme, it looks like gmail is the source, and you can sync from gmail to other devices. Is that true? Could you go the other way, and have a standalone app be the contact source, then sync from the app into gmail??

   Like everything except vundle. (I use tpope's pathogen) Pre-packaged vim on github is a very nice way to distribute.

   I was a manager in the dot-com era, made good money then took a decade off to climb mountains and raise my kids. Now approaching 50, I've taken up programming and just loving it. Today's tools are incredible - I can do myself what used to

   The guy on the video seems like a sociopath. I think his goal is to raise his profile amongst gun-rights activists. Politician in training. Thank god there isn't a 3d printer for viruses. (yet)

   Are you free or slave? Are you successful, or not? Are you loved enough, rich enough, respected enough, powerful enough? Whatever. Don't give too much energy to these thoughts. Bring some prayer/kindness/meditation/mindfulness into your

    Between SF and LA, highway 5 is faster than 101. From SF you'd go thru Gilroy, then over to 5 via Pacheco pass, then south to LA.

    Unity has been an epic disaster. Sad.

    It is fascinating that this low-budget warehouse space is worthy of NYT coverage. I have gone to a bunch of meetups at HD & made a small contribution to the fund - it is a great local resource. I'm just surprised that this inconspicuo

    Yes - I'm using Gnome3 "classic". It is ok - just doesn't seem as configurable as Gnome2. XFCE might be good - I just don't have the time to figure it out.

    IMHO, Gnome2 was great, but since then its all gone downhill. Still cursing Ubuntu for Unity.

    There are lots of 'print bureaus' now that render metal. Anyone can do it. The raw parts can be polished, machined, etc. And the reaction is - abundant negative comments. Everything is amazing, and nobody is happy. http://www.youtube.c

    Erm - the company didn't take a month off. Is there an app to auto-rewrite misleading headlines?

    Well, I have to agree. How you go to market depends on your business and industry. But to the extent that you can align your business with growth-hacking style marketing, the better off you're gonna be. IMHO.

    Old-style marketing is where you run around to meetings and conferences, build relationships, convince people one on one. Old-style marketing is dead. I say this as an old-style marketer. Why dead? Old-style isn't repeatable, it doesn't

    I've started using the DCI technique outlined in Jim Gay's book 'Clean Ruby'. To me Jim's technique is somewhat similar to the Hexagonal Rails approach describe in another comment. The DCI technique is to use the model as a persistence lay

    Firing as a motivational tool to foster open communication. That is priceless. Key learning for me is to avoid working with people who think this is a good idea.

    I appreciate Musk's honesty. I've seen many critical situations where leaders fudge to make things seem more stable than they are. I'm rooting for Tesla's success.

    Does JReisig's work support the Bret Victor idea of selecting the line of code and highlighting the pixels that it draws?? (shown at 8:00 in the Bret Victor video)

    This looks like a raw smear against Assange. Would be interesting to know the political pressures being brought to bear on the Swedish prosecutor's office.

    I don't agree. Was glad to get notified about this bargain. IMHO this is what affiliate programs are for.

    I don't like the Facebook facial recognition thing either. Or when someone tags me on photos that they have uploaded. I think its creepy when someone else posts my photo, then I start getting comments on it. This should be opt-in, not op

    Why are women such an entitled demographic? Where is the love for programmers who are old? Or black? Or hispanic?
