   Also noteworthy that Google+ didn't even get a mention, even if to mock it.

   Depends on the kind of work... If I'm working out the math on a new design for a robot, I prefer to be completely alone (in an individual office, or simply working from home). Later, when I'm building the robot and just tightening

   Usually, the litmus test is: Does the software work at all without the GPL'd parts? If not, it doesn't matter how segregated you think it is, because it's still dependent on that GPL'd code.

   It sucks, but this is always the risk when developing on someone else's proprietary platform.

   I have a crazy theory: There is no such thing as open source hardware. It's a myth. If a project has any electronics, there's a closed bit in there somewhere. Even if there are published layout files, the chip is still closed. Can

   I was born in New York City, grew up in L.A., started a company in SF, and live in Chicago, but the only place I've ever been held up at gunpoint was in San Francisco at 4th and Mission.

    Housing cost is the #1 reason I moved away, and the #1 reason I stay away. I lived in Mountain View 2007 to mid-2008 for my job at Google. We were renting a house close to campus at the time and contemplated what it would cost to put down r

    Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I learned to program in HyperTalk as a kid and loved it. I still miss it. AppleScript, on the other hand, I can't stand. I think the difference is that HyperTalk can be considered a DSL for t

    Right, I don't care so much about the getUserMedia part at the moment. But what you've done is totally awesome, by the way! With that said, I was looking for "take an array of images, spit out a gif file, and, oh yeah, put th

    I was really hoping this would work on the server-side, too. It didn't. :-( Or maybe I configured something wrong? Here's what I found: $ git clone https://github.com/yahoo/gifshot.git $ cd gifshot

    I miss HyperTalk. It was my first "love" programming language. I agree, HyperTalk was different enough from AppleScript that you could be productive in HyperTalk, but lost in AppleScript. It might be due to the fact that AppleScri

    I may want something awesome, but wanting something now is a higher priority. When prototyping, I value my time and how fast I can iterate through the create-test-modify cycle more than build quality. At home, the quality has to be good e

    Ironically, lack of DIY/consumer powder coating (and, perhaps, more significantly -- steel bending) tools were reasons Bre Pettis gave for why MakerBot went closed source. "Some of the shifts we’ve just made, that’ve made some peo

    Gravity on the Moon is 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. Re-inventing every sport to take advantage of this could be pretty fun. Who wouldn't want to see a basketball game played inside an arena on the Moon?

    Money. I think we should build hotels there and make it a tourist attraction. For many countries, their main source of revenue is tourism. Why not the moon, too?
