Screw it, let's all get chips embedded in our fingers.

Thanks, super relevant.

Yes, exactly. This scared the [expletive] out of me until I read it and saw it was mostly theoretical, as I just purchased a home in the Boston area. I think as you say the main issue (or challenge) here is that it would be a monumental cha

Thanks. It's difficult to maintain composure in the face of almost comical wrongness throughout the business world, and saying things like that tends to get you shunned. My fault, I need to improve my tact. I wrote more about it here:

No, because personal integrity is a fairly unimportant concept to leadership, besides being a made-up trait that has almost no meaning. Leadership is about the ability to understand and manipulate reality. To do that, you need to know about

Complete fluff. Thank you both. Even the leaders in this specific post had a model and influence, Ed Catmull saying specifically, "As we struggled to get Pixar off the ground, Deming’s work was like a beacon that lit my way." Demi

Having integrity, being able to judge people, and being a smart thinker? That's how you measure the leaders of an organization which was heavily influenced by the management principles of W. Edwards Deming? Have you even read Creativit

Sadly, it's approximately you plus like 12 other people who care about the issue you describe. The experience works and works well, so very few people care how it works.

Most of the workflows that feed into Plex handle this pretty seamlessly. To be honest, I never even knew it had an issue, so I'm speaking out of a state of blissful ignorance of filenames—but that's how I want it to be, so can&#x2

Yet another piece of proof that Linux remains a great operating system for programmers and techies. For the rest of the world... sadly, just look at it.

Southern Maryland is a lot different from Vancouver, that's all I'll say...

In other words, how people feel about their position and their contributions trumps everything. Politics is just relationships and emotions. Yet another argument for building empathy and getting to know who cares about what.

This is nostalgic to me, because it's reminiscent of how I thought about business and software about 10 years ago. I got some very good advice from a more senior developer sometime between then and now that I repeat to all people start

I have seen 3-lane roads where the middle lane switches direction depending on time of day, with clear lit-up overhead signage telling you which lanes are going which direction. During non-rush hours it acts as a standard protected turning

Correct—I meant Positive Punishment (which is hard to remember, since it's decidedly not positive in the obvious sense).

This is why—effectively—use and application of Linux is limited to developers.

This got into negative territory, but I was being serious. Define "good." Is quality a thing just defined by code style and properness, or is it defined as fitness for a purpose, connection to human use and usefulness, usability o

Yep, no way around it, Google is just really bad at people.

Define "good" and "software."

You don't want never negative, or never stern to put a lighter touch on it—but many people, probably the audience of this article at large, simply don't know enough behavior theory to even know of the alternative. Save the negat

So many parallels to Zen here. Fascinating. For others, if you like this type of thinking, then I would recommend checking out the much larger body of resources and practices around Zen Buddhism.

One interesting thing is that when the port is the same for everything, the port itself (the shape, size, look and whether it matches the other thing you're looking at) ceases to be a useful interface for connecting things together phy

Same with Drucker, Deming, and other great management thinkers of the 20th century who repeated similar mantras: respect your people, build good systems, and you have a better chance of succeeding. We're doomed to repeat ourselves, as

That's okay, I wouldn't be heard by them anyway :-)

Yep, you'll have to do more work than just breathing. :-P

They haven't been building things for you. They've been building things for advertisers.

by calinet6 10y ago
I think that their focus has been on the experience for advertisers, which are less visible or feel negative to the end user (such as tweaks to the timeline—100% for advertisers and brands). However, those choices are probably highly influe

Yeah, that's one of the major benefits—it really can bring people together around specific topics, and democratizes and enables communication between people of all levels. I've connected with and formed relationships with experts

a) twitter's reason to exist is as a communication system where the primary mode is individual > public, in short form. No other communication platform exists that has those characteristics. The web is the next closest thing, but th

Kids, you should start companies. Really. But maybe get some experience first before taking major investments.
