The non-invasive restriction seems bad to me. Or is it there to get around government crated problems, which I could agree with? I think the medical tricoder is completely non-invasive on TV, because it's a great way to create the fantasy o

This probably depends on the local culture. Yep, and what I've heard (and only heard, never worked there myself) is that Microsoft has some of the most programmer friendly corporate culture around. A lot (if not most) big companies are no

And you shouldn't allow confrontational people on your team anyways A lot of great hackers are very confrontation, it comes from love of truth. Look at Linux and Linus Torvalds, Linus freely calls himself an asshole, because well, he is

One hour+ commute, enough time to prep and eat or go out and eat food, enough time at night to not go bed right after eating, not good for your health, squeeze in an hour of exercise per day, a tiny bit of social interaction with friends an

So yes, I made a choice to have a mobile phone, but what kind of choice did I make? I think this is sort of an interesting phenomenon. What happens is a choice is introduced; it starts as a very simple choice: the choice of whether or not

Paperclips? I'd use actual papers, make it look like they spilled on the floor and you are picking them up.

Oh if only it was just free loading at large companies! The reality is much more complicated. I worked with some great people at a huge company, a lot of them had families, one had a child with very severe asthma, and one time only a heli

Now I work for the machine, and naps are unfortunately not allowed. OK, here's a crazy idea! I work for the machine, MOST of us work for the machine. Unions are in our past. But government might just be the way to force the machine to su

I just have an incredibly hard time imagining how I could nap on a yoga mat in my cubile without everyone else stopping to watch it like a circus, and my manger wanting to discuss why I am literally sleeping on the job.

I am not certain about this, but I think true TrueType fonts are only slightly improved by font smoothing technologies like ClearType and Quartz. Where as fonts made specifically to be used with ClearType look like utter crap on LCDs withou

America vs Europe. In America most houses are wood, and I don't mean log houses. And there is no way wall plugs would work in that kind of American wall.

Unlike generic politics posts, this is very narrowly focused, and shows how we, using our tools, can make real and immediate difference in how we are governed. This isn't just "politics", it's practical self-determination.

That's..... really not much of a silver lining in this situation. I would have gone with caught early, modern medicine, etc, but A for effort.

The difference between "agile" and "waterfall" isn't that easy to pin down. Some people think of "agile" as just going through their full waterfall process every month or every two weeks. Other people insist the core of "agile" is TDD, othe

Speaking as a foreigner who spent one year in a US high-school, I was shocked that both disabled students and non-disabled students were in the same school. To me it was obvious this was bad for both, but especially the disabled students wh

That makes sense. Still incredible that it had so much energy that it was still going after making it through a door and a wall. Keep in mind these are American houses, flimsy paper cardboard and this bits of wood things.

I am relating patio11's expertise in web advertising to ad blocking browsers. As in, would he be interested in how the web looks to someone using ad blocking.

Yep, visual A/B testing. But seriously, does this mean there isn't even any point in trying to find a way to give people who use ad blocking something which would almost never be blocked, and yet could still be considered advertising if not
