I have worked at a startup before and after acquisition. I am a morning person and have small kids so I normally worked 8-4. I got a little push-back for leaving early, but after a few days of telling my boss what I had already accomplished

I am not an expert, but as someone who has occasionally paid cash for medical procedures, I know one way it happens: deliberately mis-classifying procedures. You've probably seen doctors check off a few things in a tiny print grid that

Wouldn't Mr. Kay say that it is education that builds the continuity of the entirety of human understanding? Greek philosophy and astronomy survived in the Muslim world and not in the European, though both possessed plenty of texts, be

Anecdotally, switching back from an iPhone to a flip phone has been very revealing for me. I don't know about all the generalizations made in this piece, or decrying overall social change. And I expect I am an outlier as being far more

Honest question: If Brave doesn't sell ads, where do the sandboxed ads come from that are under #2? Presumably your software is stripping out the bad stuff and putting in something , which marketers have agreed to pay you for. Or how

Thank you very much for this answer. I am glad to hear that you still expect pseudo-time approaches to yield fruit. And I appreciate some pointers to more recent work in this direction. I only recently read David Reed's thesis and did

What are your current thoughts on objects and simulation in distributed environments? You have historically worked or advised on projects using approaches that never reached the mainstream. I'm thinking primarily of the nice properties

But also remember that risk isn't just about actual money, it's also about opportunity costs. If you join a startup that gets acquired but before your shares vest (or with preferences that kill the value of your shares), it's

For sure, a small team can do the work. The question is: who will pay them to? Your five smart compiler friends could maybe get contract work making specific hotspots a bit faster for some specific medium-sized company. But who is going to

Yeah, OP is reading the wrong lesson into this. If his employees aren't bold enough to lie/negotiate a raise, that doesn't mean he gets to pay them less. It means some day they will just walk out and take a higher offer elsew

I think it's largely a question of community. Many users of MS SQL or Oracle learned advanced SQL or platform-specific features which they take for granted. They work at companies that spend lots of money for DBs and hire people who us

Yeah! (You probably know about this but others may not.) I like Elm's architecture, which has typed update functions that can be nested. This makes the full stack of the component composable and is something like a cursor: https:&#x2F

I think the "React.js way" through a Flux flow takes this idea even farther. Now, instead of an individual object being allowed to change itself, we go through an even greater indirection, firing an abstract action and letting a s

As I understand it, the problem is that template strings evaluate to strings, whereas JSX evaluates to function calls creating a data structure. So render would produce a string, React would have to parse it back out of the XML syntax to fi
