(Submitter but not the author.) It looks like that's because its using GitHub's timeline API, which -- in addition to GitHub's general repository API -- only retrieves repositories which are actually rooted at the given user.

The underlying idea behind the quote (and much of Buffett's investment strategy) is that its inherently a bad idea to invest in something when you can't predict what's going to happen.

In that scenario, you'd want to spend as many dollars as you have since you think they're going to rapidly depreciate in value.

I honestly wasn't trying to be condescending, and apologize if it came off that way. (I'll leave the original post unedited so it doesn't look like you're crazy or anything.) That being said, Google employees, why is G

So I don't work for Google and I've never worked for Google. I do, however, have two things you might want to keep in mind: 1. Google, according to Wikipedia, has 46,000 employees. The number of employees who are in a position

Hypothetical: I get a call from my boss's boss at 7pm asking if I can create a weekly metrics spreadsheet for him for the meeting tomorrow. Because I'm a go-getter and want to help him out, I have three options: 1. Wake up crazy

I dislike this article: it seems to suffer from 'perfect is the enemy of good'-itis and willful misunderstanding of how complex -- and difficult -- commerce can be. The author basically argues that things should be wonderful and e

To speak to the first half of the post, I think the tweets by @betsythemuffin are the most interesting: 1. Whether free-time activities are called "work" or "play," the existence of free time to do them in is a privileg

To clarify, you feel that using Eclipse is more work than breaking a file into multiple shards and setting up a build process to recombine them? (I'm not trying to be snarky and I apologize if the above comes off that way.)

Friends don't let friends spend significant amounts of time debating about their IDE. (Eclipse's tabbing scheme is awful , though. Like the author said, its like they have an algorithm to detect which tabs I'm going to need

Well, that was a double whammy of me typing 'ten years' instead of 'ten months' and also reading the wrong commit timestamp. I think my point is still valid, but thanks for pointing that out -- awesome work, btw!

The problem I think your wife had was that her work environment isn't designed for Chromebooks (like having the infrastructure like gas stations for cars). If someone uses Google Docs and GMail for all of their business communications

As much as I love GitHub, I think the exploration paradigm could use a little work -- it seems to have something of a flywheel effect, where popular repositories receive more exposure, thus more stars/forks/watches, thus appear as

To each their own. I think logistics are awesome, and to describe them as requiring 'some algorithmics' is sort of dismissive; this is a field where formulating a 1% improvement over a previous system translates into literally mi

(n.b.: BATNA is 'best alternative to a negotiated agreement', which is exactly what it sounds like. Think of it as the negotiating equivalent of the 9-5 you can always go back to if your startup fails.)

Even if it's not entirely altruistic, I'm glad Big Tech has recognized the tremendous value proposition of dedicating resources to pure unabated research. It's a cliche example, but the work of Xerox PARC will outlive the wo

I love this article except for the argument it makes about preprocessors. While I agree with the author that preprocessors do not replace the need for a deep understanding of CSS3, that doesn't mean that preprocessors are useless or b

I think you overestimate the number of prospective employees who make their ultimate decision whether or not to work at a company based off of stack-ranking.
