For all my career, I've worked late. When running my own business or consulting, I tended to have a 3 or 4 am bedtime. This fall my daughter started school. I have to be up at 6:00 AM in order to get the day started and drop her off for c

As I mentioned in my comment, I think it actually makes the politics worse. There's not a lot of pressure to merge code back into a single master and there's no good place for the network of forks to come together and communicate on how to

So, I'm not a huge GitHub fan for open source projects. Why? Because while it's a great site and tool (don't get me wrong, I can understand the attraction), GitHub can be a pain in the ass for end users. How so? I don't know how many ti

Inflation is preferable to deflation. And the goal of no inflation is unrealistic from both practical and theoretical perspectives. There are a number of inherent incentives for a minimal inflation policy: to hedge against deflation, to

Depending on the JVM is a bigger issue than you suggest. Without an unencumbered open source JVM, any languages which rely on the JVM will ultimately be dependent on Oracle. Bugs can't get fixed, new platforms can't be ported to, improvem

I mention this event because it started with a couple of founders getting together for coffee last fall. We had just been at a startup event in HK that was very US centric and sorta top down. Dave McClure, who attended, suggested we build

It's not actually blocked! It's a problem with Google's reporting.

Or just put the toolbar at the bottom nearer where your hand and the input pops up anyway.

Excellent points, I'm glad someone helped add some facts. I moved my startup from the US to Hong Kong in 2007. I've spent the last three years there and in Southern China doing business. At the moment, I've moved back to the US (to LA) fo

Most of art school is unlearning the "natural" way one might draw and paint and relearning ways to look at things and build up paintings and drawings in a much more iterative and incremental manor.

Exactly. I don't understand why so many people can't actually read and understand a simple article.

Berkeley DB has always (i.e. before being bought by Oracle) been released under a GPL-like license with the option to purchase a commercial licenses for those that don't want to deal with the reciprocity clauses.

My thoughts as well. The Apple article seems to be saying exactly what the AnandTech article said: However, in locales that have less signal, but where iOS still displays 5 bars, the drop of 24 dB is visualized much differe

Here's another vote for Audible. A couple years ago I had to weekly commute from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. Audiobooks not only kept me sane on the 5 hour commute, but I began to wish the commute were longer. And just yesterday I finished

If it's my current car, then she's done me a favor. The cars likely worth less than blue book value. Seriously, I call it my first "disposable car" because we only needed a car for a few months and I wasn't willing to pay much. Luckily I

I'm a coder and I have an iPad. I haven't yet used my iPad for coding. I don't think I will. I do have a really great ssh/vpn app for the iPhone/iPad, so in a pinch, I can get to my servers and make a fix or check a log file. But other th

What about the ergonomics of a book or magazine? Aren't those effectively the same as an iPad?

That's odd because I haven't had had a similar experience. The ergonomics feel the same as a book, magazine, or notepad to me.

There are some basic code editors [1] with built in FTP or similar protocols. Basically they're intended to let you edit scripts and web pages on servers. A more interesting scenario is when Mozilla's Bespin works properly on the iPad. It
