I became aware of nautilus via HN and subscribed a few weeks ago. Please keep up the good work. While print is exactly the medium I want for something of this sort, I do think it would be wise to look into some sort of digital subscription

I got an invite to Ingress pretty early on, played heavily for several months then dropped it completely. I never got into the lore and didn't particularly care for bar-hopping meetups. As a game it felt really uneven, free to enact su

It is, but what I've found a bit funny about the entire recent 'diversity' discussion is that such things aren't already done as a matter of course. We're in an industry where modeling, A/B testing, logging, tr

Coincidentally, in the past two weeks - this week in particular I've been seeing a load of crap sent to my address registered with LinkedIn which is otherwise spam-free. I'd guess it's related to LinkedIn or GitHub as this pa

Every time I need to unlock developer settings in a recent Android phone I get a little nostalgic for the codes of old. If you're of that era you likely also remember... 007 373 5963 ...and... JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------

Ouch, I feel for whoever let this slip. Experiencing some small scale analogs to this is what taught me to really appreciate the sort of simple, manual rigor that I often see from (much) older engineers. That's not to say that such thi

Neat, subscribed. I make a point to read TempleOS' comments. Looking past the frequent nastiness they're sometimes interesting and even poetic, in a way that's as sadly familiar as the intonation in these videos.

I'd liken worries about staying productive while raising children to worries about being able to run a marathon. You're probably safely certain you couldn't do it tomorrow, but that says little about your ability to do it 9 m

I never played M59, but heard about it endlessly as "the good old days" when I played EverQuest. Every few years I Google for happenings on the EQ server I frequented in 1999. There have been all sorts of mergers and consolidation

Exactly. Hardware, software, anything really - there's probably an analog to this in most things. Personally, what I run up against most often aren't questions about fulfilling the initial requests, but the aftermath of someone fo

I have mixed feelings about this sort of thing. As an interviewer I've done something like this when needing to hire for a very straightforward job with very little time and an effectively endless supply of candidates. This addressed t

Not exactly. What really sets this book apart, in my opinion, is just how readable it is. I haven't run across anything with quite the same combination of style and depth for Linux. You could read through something like The Linux Progr

Mine arrived yesterday. The size and heft of the print book is a welcome surprise, it's something that you could toss in a bag and hold to read without support (2.7 lbs, 9.4x6.4x1.4) - relevant for something that will eventually be she

All right in line with just about any sort of "Enterprise" software. Training and implementation services are downright cheap. Maintenance is the standard 20%. The last big vendor PO I had to look at put every professional service

Unfortunate phrasing it seems 1989 refers to the Game & Watch Gallery 3 release. The original Egg was released in 1981. [1] 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_%26_Watch_games

The most frequent obstacle to telework I've seen in Government is basically "If I can't work from home, you can't either!" from managers. I can't help but think that this case is more of the same. If the work i

I was just about to suggest Daniel Pink's book [1] when I clicked through and saw that a talk from him is a segment on the podcast. In any case, the book is worth a read. I had a copy forced on me years and didn't crack it open fo
