I find the argument that piracy is bad for Microsoft be so far from the truth. Are you kidding me? They practically owe their market share to the fact that the choice isn't "learn linux" or "pay for windows" it's "learn linux" or "get windo

Yes, yes, yes. I'm glad the author mentioned pacman. It's definitely been my best package management experience. I still use macports, but it does feel pretty tacked on. That being said I'm definitely excited about homebrew [ http://github.

I would guess it's because the same account could be used to distribute paid apps. So incompetence in the fact that they don't have two users types, or just an unwillingness to deal with any of those complexities? Or they want people spendi

Does Google have any incentive to fight this? I find myself wishing that they would just reply with "No, that is ridiculous." Why, WHY?, would someone be held legally responsible for not replying to an email!? That is the most ridiculous an

So instead of people in threads like this going "WTF, how did I not know about this?" ... they will be like ... "Yeah, that's in the documentations I use it everyday it's great."

Yeah. I have a relative who is deathly afraid of flying and she has tried taking anxiety meds. She said they just make want to talk to strangers more about how scared she is. ha ha. It breaks down normal social barriers but she is still dea

Thanks for the reply, that's too bad that it doesn't exist, but I appreciate knowing now instead of looking for it all the time. :)

This isn't utterly pointless. I'm glad I know about it, and I wouldn't have without this essay. Or were you just saying "in general"? If so, point me to something PG has put online that is utterly pointless. He has a remarkably good filter

Forgive me, but I'm hoping there are a lot of nerdy Mail.app users in this thread... Does anyone here that uses Mail.app and has it sync up only the last month, or couple months of mail? Or even the last..50 or 100 messages like the iPhone

Consider toying around with Objective-C. I was pleasantly surprised. I had never used SmallTalk, and I had a good time with the idea of "message passing". This doesn't take away the requirement of having to own a Mac, so it's free to try it

Absolutely. I see people basically chatting in comments on status updates. I think the problem would be more about spreading the story quickly. Twitter doesn't have the "friend" requirement, ultimately making it the better tool(?) here.

I think the point is that if you come looking for a pat on the head from a person who has actually put in a huge amount of time to gain their experience, you're setting yourself up for failure. The article is a lot more about how it sucks t

I really like the idea of no wasted time before lunch. Trying to remove reader/hn for the entire day sucks, but maybe knowing "only" after lunch would help increase my rate on my already more productive morning time.

If you're on your way up to Seattle from SF, I live in Portland and would totally let you sleep on my futon. I'd even share some beers for a good story or two. Good luck, and definitely do it.

I was going to suggest "Snow Crash" as well, so I'll just second it. Very cool book.

I always start the sentence with... "I know this is weird, but..." It helps me get to the actual point of direct confrontation, but by blaming it on myself it helps absorb some of the awkward. Truly though, I hate it when people touch my la
