   Thanks for the info. In the first video Steve Jobs talks about the history of the PC. The prehistoric age, the golden age, the internet age, and then the age they felt we were entering: the digital lifestyle age. That was an accurate assess

   It's from episode 6 in season 1 of the Office (BBC). That was Tim's advice to Dawn when she was thinking about changing careers. I love that quote.

   The iPod was also Apple's first step towards to the corporate market. It looked like a purely consumer play at the time, but with the iPhone and now the iPad, it turns out they were just taking the long road.

   Good punditry? Punditry is just listing all of the ways something can fail. That doesn't take much insight. Insight would tell you how that crazy plan could succeed.

    Are there any tech/startup events in your area? The best way to meet people is to go to places where there are like minded people.

    What a great opportunity! Working on "adult" sites is really challenging work. It's like taking any other application you might work on and throwing 10x - 100x times more traffic at it. You'll have to find totally different ways to solve pr

    This is an interesting observation: The first year or so of the company reminded me a lot of the awkward teenage phase of self-discovery. GitHub the company had sort of sprung up from this side project, so we never had any big vision or dr

    I grew up in Vancouver and lived in Toronto more recently, so it's possible things changed significantly. You're probably right about real estate, but that's generally not a factor for startups. Food is definitely not more expensive (unless

    There's actually more money flowing in Montreal (as mtw points out in an adjacent thread) and the cost of living is about 2/3 what you need to live on in Vancouver (and almost half that of Toronto). That said, it's a lot easier to maintain

    I've worked a lot with Redis over the past 6 months (my own projects + analytics for yellowpages.ca) and not so much with rrd. Would you be interested in an email exchange?

    That's true. It would be helpful to have dynamic reloading as an option with the JVM.

    When delegating any work, it's more productive to focus on the problems you want to address rather than the solutions you had in mind. Solving problems is fun. Don't steal their thunder.

    Dynamically reloading classes is a nightmare in production systems. I'm not a .NET guy by any means, but one thing that it has that others could use it code signing. This is precisely the opposite of dynamic reloading and it's much more val
