   I can't imagine Google ever implementing that feature request. Apple had a PR nightmare after not unlocking a phone. Imagine the fallout if Google made it easy to quickly hide evidence from the authorities. It would be a legal and PR d

   I agree with you. If there is one correct way, then software writers are fungible, and software can be built with commodity parts. I don't think this is true. If it is, then we have an awful hard time finding correct ways; just look at

   Individual contributor here. How “good” a founder is doesn’t fix relationships across the organization. Communication and people management are very hard to get right. I’ve been angry at a founder or two, but holding them accountable for ev

    Wait, was the last 30 years some Picard-and-the-flute dream? Thank God! Hopefully the next FORTRAN version will keep the name all-caps.

    As late as 2003 (when I separated from them), Sterling Commerce, a Columbus based EDI network now owned by IBM, used an OS/2 system to convert zModem and FTP traffic to SNA, so that PCs could talk to a mainframe without needing to to b

    CompuServe charged more if you connected at a higher baud rate, like $12.80 per hour for 14.4k... I think - I haven't worked there for 22 years, so my memory is hazy. There was also an ecosystem of apps to script connections to minimiz

    The system should prevent 0 from being pushed as a notification. Each teacher or school should be forced to deal with 0 in some other way, preferably erring on the side of helping students, rather than punishing them.

    I discovered Claire North this year after she was interviewed on the Imaginary Worlds podcast. I picked up Touch, The Sudden Appearance of Hope, and The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, all of which were wonderful.

    I like the inclusion of his "no more cities" idea in this. A short story of his from the 40s, Rescue Party, includes this concept, where everyone lived far apart and flew around in their helicopters. This is also the story where &

    "take some profit from your pocket" is needlessly severe, but the sentiment that doctors are juggling too many patients resonates with me. "Doctors don't have time anywhere in the world" probably isn't accurate
