Interested in hearing more about what you're up to. What's the best way to get in touch?

I think this is where editors would come in who (presumably) don't have the same incentives.

Super cool, thanks for sharing this!

Wild Wild Country completely blew my mind. It didn't happen that long ago, seems like it would have been major national news on a number of occasions, and yet I had never heard anything about it before watching the doc.

Really interesting, thanks for sharing this. Why is it called Cedar & Sail when (as far as I can tell) it has nothing to do with either of those things? :p In any case, congrats on hitting it big with Baremetrics!

I chuckled when I read it and took it as tongue-in-cheek.

I can definitely sympathize with the issues that come from not being familiar with ES6. I'm working through a React Native tutorial currently and, while I've managed to understand some of it via context, there's some very odd

I like the advice to actively record your ideas (every little one). Thinking about things in abstract, it can seem like all the good problems are solved, but listed out on paper it is a lot easier to analyze and notice patterns.

I think you're stretching the definition (at least at a conceptual level) of "Air-Gapped" when your means of communication are connections that go through the air-gap. I guess there are probably real systems referred to as &q

The most advanced autopilot systems today can navigate and even land the aircraft, but the majority of systems (especially on general aviation aircraft, but even many commercial) are closer to what you describe, and can kill you if you&#x27

I think the analogy breaks down somewhat due to the relative scale of their misses vs. hits. A batter can only get so many runs with one hit, but a good investment can make all of the misses look like rounding errors.

My impression was that he wasn't under oath for the hearing. Honestly, for the level of technical complexity they are discussing (often in very non-specific and general terms), I don't think they'd be able to have a conversat

They really are effective, though. The conscious part of me is actually turned off by videos with these kinds of title images, but they still draw my attention and produce an impulse to click.

> But it's more interesting to compare the philosophies between the two tools. So what are their philosophies? Fossil is for small things and git is for scalability?

by ccostes 8y ago
Interesting, I hadn't heard of Fossil before. It is useful to have a 'lingua franca' of open-source version control, but I'm not sure git is necessarily the best choice for that (not that network-effects usually result i

I think the idea was to actively consider whether you are working on the right things, rather than suggesting inaction.

I like the effort to categorize previous writings. I primarily listen to the podcast and think Ben has some really great insights and theories that he's clearly put a lot of thought into (the perennial favorite: aggregation theory), bu

I think the point about unconscious states was not that you "become no one", but rather that it is an interruption to the continuity of consciousness. As a thought experiment, imagine you were magically replicated during sleep suc

I found that odd, too. Guess it's sort of like a tl;dr, but it felt repetitive.

It's really true that, as someone in my 20's, polio really did seem like a thing of the past before reading this. While I knew what an iron lung was (always disliking the name, though), I had no idea there were still people using

Merger may be unlikely, but reorganization seems like a fairly low bar.

The counter-argument to this being that the safety checks imposed by Rust prevent errors in the first place, saving debugging time and getting features out more quickly.

They spin out each of their products (Stack Overflow, Trello) as separate corporations so Fog Creek didn't own Trello. Edit: I guess the spinning-out doesn't say anything about ownership (though the article does say Trello did a r

Side note: having hobbies unrelated to your day job is perfectly normal and healthier, imo, than spending all of your time on one thing. Life is all about balance.

I applaud Medium for renewing their focus on achieving what seems to be the holy grail for virtually all content producers, but especially writers: getting people to pay directly for content. Netflix and the like seem to have it figured out

Part of the issue stopping me from jumping in is that it feels like the language is still changing in ways large enough to make it difficult to learn. That may not be true anymore, but it seems like it would take a lot of work to keep up wi

Their video from 2013 shows some pretty cool applications of an earlier version of this tech that looks essentially like passive NFC using ambient RF rather than using 802.11. Very cool stuff!

I like the idea as a way to distribute gains to employees. Wondering why the units are limited to integer years rather than allowing constant accrual up to the 5 units. Additionally, it seems unfair that employee units go immediately to 0 u
