So what was your free cycling like? Did you still do the split schedule you describe? Or did you sleep for 10 hours straight?

When you've been on vacation what happens if you don't force yourself to go back to sleep? What happens if you go to sleep at 7:30pm and set an alarm for 9:00pm? Would you like it better if you got only 7-8 hours of sleep but weren't as ene

"They took their hard earned money and opened a pizza parlor or a garage or a gift shop. They never really wanted to be on the Internet." There it is. That will be right up there with "They never wanted to be an accountant" and "They never

Here's the real reason why: Apple makes products. Other companies make hardware, and include software. Or they make software to run on some platform. Or something. Apple has realized that large numbers of people want whole products, not bit

Never shut up and be satisfied while you are not fulfilled. Keep your job for now, save some of that money, and spend a portion of your non-work time thinking and exploring what you would like to do with your professional life. By the time

Hey, that sounds quite reasonable. Thanks.

Wonderfully indented code is not always readable. Readable code is always indented well.

The reason why there are so many languages is that there's no committee deciding which languages are ok and which are not. And that's really, really awesome, because committees would stink at that. Instead, we have the ability to choose amo

Do you have advice on publishing elsewhere in addition to Amazon? Specifically, are there exclusivity restrictions that must be negotiated away, etc.?

"What if your boss made you miserable every day, but you can't quit because of the mortgage." This situation and others like it are more common with people who put too much importance on money. You can't ignore money, but giving it more w

I think that a lot of people are missing the main point of this article. And Ryan could have stated it a little more clearly. Here's my take on it: Some things cost money, but others don't. Many things that people, including me, want to cha

Indeed. "A Keyboard Better Than the Original" but they messed up the Control key. Sigh.

It baffles me when techie people put critical infrastructure in the hands of others. When you pay and have a support contract it's bad. When it's free it's worse. If it's not critical to you then that's fine.

I don't think so either. But that's what comes out of Thou Shalt Comment. And yes, I have seen loop index comments. Haven't you? I think we'd both agree if we saw a good comment. I just want to focus on the 'good' part rather than the 'co

I comment for "me in six months" and that works ok. Not perfect, but ok. Nothing says "unthinking clod" to me like a few thousand lines of code with comments where I'm told that i is a loop index.

It's nice to see that yet one more person has come to their senses. Not much new in that post, but sometimes that's ok. The code itself is always the first, best, and final authority on how it works. Comments should add something beyond t

I'd say your dream is a good one, but it's going to take some serious work in design. Each of HN, StackOverflow, reddit, etc. have a unique feel to them, their own strengths and weaknesses. But none of them really do this right (or you woul

This is one of many reasons I use a tiling window manager (scrotwm). It doesn't set out to make everything gray, but it ends up having pretty much that effect when the screen is tiled with xterms and there's no wallpaper, desktop icons, tas

A coworker has one of these and the missing caps lock was one of the very first things I noticed, and good riddance indeed. It's too bad Google didn't go the extra step and put the control key back where it was before IBM did the swap.

That's a little backward. If you were going to the moon (either human or robotic) and wanted to operate there for any significant length of time then it becomes desirable to have a source of renewable power on site.

Jason L. Wright is known by many as "Wookiee" for reasons that may be obvious to many of you. Now I realize that it's been done before, but would it be too much to ask that we consider the term Wookieeleaks when referring to this matter? ;-
