This seems like a cool lecture, thanks. I've read it maybe halfway through before getting distracted also. It was one of the maybe 5 out of over a 100 books I brought with me when I moved.

As a developer, I know how Agile works. It's pretty simple. Now why would I want to waste a few days of working time to go to a conference about it? Most people can probably do zero to two conferences a year paid by their employer. To

It's kind of like putting book authors in this kind of a list. Using more words and more complex ones doesn't really say anything about the quality of the writing. Pretty interesting data-set for fun though.

This is what most programmers-turned-managers keep telling me. The pay is a bit better but they miss programming.

Too bad the work is the polar opposite of a programmer so it's kind of a pointless thing to say in the article that programmers rarely become CEOs. Most people don't want to become CEO's, they're programmers because they

I think of it as Google and Apples failure mostly. Current app stores are terrible for new app discovery. Even for games which used to be a lucrative market a couple of years ago there seems to be just a handful that take in most of the mon

I think it's also partly because of extremely long hours and long commutes and small apartments with even smaller kitchens (Tokyo).

That's like saying a home made burger from top notch ingredients is made with close to identical processes as a McDonald's one. Except of course that they use worse ingredients and cut on all possible costs as long as it still tas

Just offering unpaid time off would mean people who are tight on money would take exactly 0 days off. Because at the end of the month your paycheck is going to be that many days smaller.

It is a bit ridiculous that Iceland and China have the same caps.

We're pretty much surrounded by internet wherever we go these days but still, I could imagine taking four weeks off without any access to the internet and wouldn't want people to think I died.

I can understand not being pumped about having random people come and go if your neighbor is leasing out their place on a site like this regularly. As a traveler I like the service though.

Since we're nitpicking - wearing two condoms is a terrible idea. The friction will break them.

I can say from experience that most people don't get very good value out of expensive gym memberships. Me included most of the time.

I could see this kind of a business working. I don't like the yearly subscription since I would only want one that I really like, not 50 meh styles. All the examples on the front page scream "21 year old hipster designer" and

I'm just worried in reality it would just mean a flood of a thousand clones in the appstore.

It's one of the greatest visionary companies around being bought out by by Facebook who hasn't launched anything relevant but more ads for the last 5 years.

Ramin is criticizing the practices of the big free to play companies by explaining their practices in plain english, he's not saying you should do this (I'm sure some money hungry devs will read this as a guide though).

Nokia's got a long history of internal turf wars. I'm sure it was Symbian vs Meego without Microsoft being in the picture.

Can you explain what is stuck at Gox? Is it peoples bitcoins or their cash? How can they get them out to trade to other people and if they can why are they valued lower than normal bitcoins?

Game engines are pretty well encapsulated so it might be as easy as popping another camera into the scene and configuring them to feel right.

The 3D movies and TV technology is a pointless gimmick anyway. What it does most of the time is give you a couple of planes or layers of "depth" in the picture. Games are actually made out of 3D geometry that you can freely walk a

I'm glad to see they're not the biggest player anymore. Their latest shenanigans are probably to cause a big crash but not a complete chaos (hopefully).

Literally 2 days after I registered on Mt Gox (2011), I got this email: "[Mt.Gox] Account database compromised". I'm glad if they're going away. I've never trusted them since.

I'd also like to point out that most software projects are in maintenance mode right now. Startups focus on creating new products but what do you think every company on earth is running right now? There's infinite amount of work f

My advice to people feverishly trying to keep up with the latest JavaScript frameworks is to take a step back, and learn a new language that's been around - like Java or C++. The only knowledge that's throw-away is too domain spec

Hint to budding SEO people, posting on HN doesn't bring much SEO since links expire and it's not very permissive to crawlers.
