I read on a kindle so the physical underlining is tricky. I guess I could try using the digital highlighter. I think I will definitely try writing a summary of Thinking Fast and Slow, and see how that goes.

That's correct. In a nutshell: 60 days max, fire safety equipment is mandatory, and the building home owner's association (body corporate) need to agree to it. The city produced a one-pager to spell it out: https://www.

Ha! This deserves some credit. The tone of the writing makes me think of Starship Troopers. Very tongue in cheek and very funny.

On the contrary, I thought this was a strange and irrelevant fact to include in the article. There's no indication that his role at Google had any bearing on the success of the business. Perhaps if he'd worked on Google Music (or

This all sounds a bit like the Apple security flaw that landed a guy in prison for a year [1]. At least this doesn't leak personal details. On the otherhand, it doesn't take much imagination to see how this could be enough for som

It's a shame that Assembly.com had to close - you'd find tonnes of interesting side projects there.

BDR isn't yet available in core Postgres. Postgres-BDR by a company called 2nd Quadrant seems to be the most widely used / best documented. It can be installed as a plugin [1] and there are patched 9.4 packages available [2]. I se

No doubt they're important factors but I don't think they're the game changer. The blogosphere (with comments + RSS) exhibited those traits long before Twitter arrived.

The 140 char limit is precisely the reason you have the opportunity to "connect" with people to whom you have no professional relationship or interest. It is, roughly, the number of characters you need to make a salient point and

Correct. I'm in Amsterdam and bought from amazon.de last night. I'll usually compare with amazon.co.uk for price and occasionally pay more because the supplier won't ship internationally. There are plenty of Dutch online reta

I see your point. I was thinking that by posting from a personal account, anybody who really wants to find out the company and people involved can do a little digging. You can burn a bridge with individuals or you can nuke the whole area to

I only read the TLDR but it seems this is exactly what he's done. He's just published his account of what happened and how he felt throughout. There are lessons there for other naive tech peeps to learn from so it seems a worthy r

Would this be something like the ability to execute arbitrary code and obtain a passwd file or something like that? I'm curious how to go from obtaining X info/access to an SSH session.

Assuming your company values an aptitude for learning when it makes a hire (at all developer levels), then you should be in good shape and this won't ever be a problem. Note also that there's a subtle difference between senior dev

So, say I'm about 15% into Thinking Fast and Slow, and struggling a little with the pace/density, should I keep going with it? I'm generally interested in the topic but just got side tracked from the book and haven't pic

I'm not sure if most of their large merchant base do have an immediate need for online processing. I always thought they targeted mainly bricks-and-mortar retail, cafes, small chains, etc. I havent thought about this a whole lot by my
