I was hoping this was a game about data types.

Hopefully you kept your options then? Can you elaborate on what went downhill?

I once met a young man who just graduated from college and started working for the NSA. During a Microsoft Kernel Drivers conference I grabbed a few minutes at my hotel gym and we struck up a conversation; or should I say he forced a conver

Yes, a hardware USB bus analyzer could record the entire usb session from when you plug it in to when you unplug. You'd think any researcher would have one of those considering they cost well below $2000 http://www.totalphas

This is exactly the rebuttal that was given for Facebook 2 years ago. Facebook has been hitting or besting their numbers since IPO. Yes, creating a valuation for a company that doesn't make money is going to be somewhat inaccurate, but

Abandoning APIs to me is a sign of bad management, and that's what I really can't stand any more. I have spent my career building apps side by side for OS X and Windows and I just can't stomach Windows any more. The thing is,

I started to give a vague answer, but I realized you asked specifically how I got started, so I'll answer that: I took any random job that came up. First it was updating the website for my friend's art gallery getting paid $20 an

I like the example you gave about offering websites with a back end by going door to door because it's different than what most people say when this question is asked. You made a product to sell: Website for the business; then you went

When recruiters call me about contracting work that's always true, but when I find my own I find I can set the terms.

I was in your shoes, and I know your pain. It's the awful pain of knowing that you live in a time where you could work from everywhere, and yet, YOU are the person who is still stuck in an office almost the entire daylight of your week

This is a very interesting take. If true, the book is not the product. They don't care how well the book sells. They care that you and I know they wrote a book on the topic and so therefore, they are the authority.

I'm kind of interested in the meta story around this remote campaign. Assuming 37 signals is doing this book at least partially for money, they're making a play relating to a trend using themselves as the model of what works. Is t

Great article. I don't agree that you should focus on anything less than the "Give me results" clients. First off, you know what they say is the problem with goals? You'll probably reach them. Meaning, you're settin

I do too. I also started using Wave for Payroll and it's been fantastic.

"Sometimes you have to get comfortable with the idea the non-programmers are as good at their disciplines as programmers are with theirs." I'm not under the impression that "programmers" are good at their discipline

The goal of a contractor is to extract as much money as possible from their client, not necissarily to do efficient quality work. In some cases it makes sense for a contractor to do quality efficient work, meaning that is the best path to p

Has this concept ever been tried in court? There's an implication there that it's translated into "plain English". They even use the word "legalese". What's the difference between a blog post and a static

If they write a summary of the TOS for a user to read "instead" aren't they then legally bound to their summary?

"The real problem is finding a laptop that isn't built like crap" The other day I went to Best Buy with the intent of buying a non-Apple laptop to make it easier for me to do some Windows development. I left empty handed afte

I agree. I think the safest bet would be to keep a static image as well. Without a static image would will always question if the rendering engine has even slightly changed the look.

DSP related jobs are pretty math heavy, albeit in a very particular focused area of math. These jobs are in demand and highly specialized, so you aren't going to see a thousand job postings, but when you find one, if you are good, they

This is semi related tangent. I've worked in at a lot of software companies where they spent a lot of time being concerned about small groups of customers that were using old builds, how we would keep their setup working, etc. It alway

I don't think even the Freakonomics followup is valid because there's a huge difference between telling someone to run some searches and actual search engine use. Here's what I might type if someone asked me to try their sear

Perhaps best case is that the FTC concludes that patent trolls aren't breaking the law at all. That could be the start of software patent reform.

This article lacks substance. Martha Stewart may not have it in for patent trolls at all. It may be that she's a big target and her council has advised her to make an example out of any patent trolls that approach her. This could also

Totally agree with your concerns. There's also another piece to this that I've run into: Deliberately focusing my profile on specific skills increased the number of recruiters that contact me for job opportunities. One might say t

I'm still hung up on what happens if there's an emergency on board? Yes, bathroom related would be one, but what about something like a heart attack? Are there any other forms of mass transit that don't allow for an emergency

Interesting. They aren't explaining how they plan to make money. To me the most obvious path is an acquisition by a company that wants to jump into the Android market. If they succeed at creating a "better" Android experience

Yeah this is totally a words game. So if I bought an ounce of gold for $600 ten years ago and sold it today for $600, yes technically, I didn't lose any money, even though gold is worth a lot more than that now. I wasted potential mone
