If you can tell me how Typekit Sync falls into this legal spaghetti, I'd give you a gold star. Because either it solves a lot of problems, or it creates some new ones and basically makes it super easy to fall into a license trap.

In fact, one could argue that it's necessary in order to ensure the success of your visionary ideas in this economy.

Adobe Flex had the same model and it worked quite well (despite the framework's other flaws).

This is a silly argument. You're all assuming this type of integration will be have the UI quality of your dishwasher. Of course context switches and irrelevant information will be distracting if done poorly. This is a UX challenge—n

This is pretty shortsighted. It's not the simple case of "what you can already do with two tools" that we should be thinking about. It's that stuff that you can't even imagine was possible until it integrated, in th

And, given those optimizations, the programmers get sufficiently dumber to compensate, resulting in a constant or decreasing level of performance. That's gotta be a law codified somewhere, right?

Someday we have to figure out this app-death thing. There has to be a better way. If anything, this highlights a problem with the model of SAAS in general: whether it be 3 years out, 10 years out, or 25 years away, these companies and the t

Management's main problem is that they believe the problem is one of people, and designing counter-productive incentive systems to try to get people to do better work , with raises and firings and carrot-and-stick motivation, and not,

It does, however, exhibit the properties we use language to describe. There's a kernel of truth at the center of it.

Wait, this is just a train of thought... and it's got almost nothing in it. I'll save you the read: "Good software is produced by teams who represent the people they’re building software for." I feel like this has to be

This is a useful perspective, but not the whole picture. Quality drives a portion of sales. Technical ability to perform, create features, respond to customer needs, and maintain a service contributes highly to quality. The technology and t

Very fair point. I'm not saying "grow up" here in a condescending way, as much as explaining my perspective once I did grow up and start seeing people's behavior in another light. But it does come off as exclusionary and

To begin with, it's a column store, which has all kinds of cool implications for data that repeats itself a lot, such as analytics.

You're entirely missing the point about the psychology of communication. Whether or not Snapchat landed on what they did by sheer accident or by intentionally making the interaction more human, they did land on something.

"his family never communicated" This is ridiculous. You're making baseless assumptions. What I said was that we communicate visually where we never communicated before: we didn't communicate visually on a daily basis b

As a user of snapchat, I've found unexpected value in the type of interaction it offers. My entire family is on it: we communicate visually daily where we never communicated before. We don't have to worry about making the communic

"They offer nil in the way of progress, yet act like they are all about progress." There's some lesson here in the value of distilling an experience to its bare emotional essence. They did actually capture something of value,

For reference, a college-level CS databases course I took had us hack on the Postgres query planner to improve a very specific case such as this. It's large and slightly complicated, but damn it's clean and understandable. Or at l

At least with Postgres (and MySQL to some degree, but Postgres is probably a better launching point), you could hack the query optimizer to handle situations like this if you really wanted to. I like to think this is how Postgres would like

It's hard for a public, respected company to statistically bash the quality of another public, respected brand. It just ain't gonna happen, what with all the lawyers and money and connections. Glad to have smaller entities which a
