It depends, but in terms of the ranges, you should probably expect something around the .1% order of magnitude for an engineer - could be higher or lower depending on how close you are to the funding round, how many employees there are tota

My biggest pet peeve about twitter right now is how little useful information they provide when you get a new follower via the notification emails. How about "people you follow in common" or people "who follow both of you"? How about a dige

Thanks - this makes more sense. Just a scheduler wouldn't explain how "With GCD, threads are handled by the operating system, not by individual applications. GCD-enabled programs can automatically distribute their work across all available

This seems like exactly the right way to use a framework - * start by using it as it is intended. Save lots of time by being up and running quickly. * find a flaw. * realize that the workaround is more work than rewriting a piece of the fra

also, don't get me wrong - I'm a technical guy. 90% of each of my days is spent messing around with complicated and complex problems in code. That's what I do, and I respect everyone else who does that. That's WHY I believe the original sen

You are right - doing things just because is a big part of the essence of hacking. I fully respect all the work of people who work on "hard problems" - I even believe that I have and continue to work on "hard problems" every day. The list o

I love the "I like using tools like this because they are hard and it makes me feel smarter than everyone else" attitude. I understand everything on the little laundry list, including things I wish I'd never had to do (UML diagrams, for ins

I just found myself wanting this morning when I was reading through the comment threads of a friend of mine. I really wished that I had seen them at the time they were posted instead of 3 months after the fact. I don't think this would be a

I think reading through Steve Blank's "four steps to the epiphany" or reading up about the customer development process might help you figure out how to turn those mild positives into real sales.

As to the house arrest rumor, when I saw it go by on twitter it was usually marked as unsubstantiated, and it was quickly replaced by reports he was not under house arrest. If you are going to focus on a twitter feed, you need to be a more

Use of proxies is quite common in Iran, and working proxy lists are being passed around on twitter.

Yes, but the coach of a mediocre NBA or NFL team has a lot more to lose than just the game. Take big risks and end up losing 15 football games, and your career as a coach might be over. Play the regular style and lose 15 games, and you have

Actually, the event itself was fine, and I enjoyed it and the people I met. I didn't like how it felt like a big publicity stunt that the twitter community was being asked to support.
