The thing is good execution can make a mediocre idea into a success. The reason we ascribe so much more to execution around here is because coming up with good ideas doesn't seem incredibly difficult. However it is one of those things that

How many people use rack? Is it almost always used when deploying rails apps?

Doesn't this make you feel kinda small? I mean the internet address space for IPv4 is now so tiny relative to our computing resources that visualizing and interpreting the data is fairly easy. Of course storing a response packet for every I

I WANT ONE! (Or two if supplies last). Seriously though it is about time we saw some more change in the laptop market. I love macbooks as much as the next guy but they aren't perfect. Higher vertical resolutions rock.

Congrats to everyone on the team for shipping this. You guys are missing the point with the content argument. Developing for consoles has generally been a ridiculously expensive endeavor. This breaks that mold. Also what makes you think tha

Refactors like this are super cool and often needed but I sometimes have to think why we don't store the easier to read code as well. I know we have git and we can always do a diff to see what changed. What I am talking about is a more holi

Why isn't it an exact science? Science teaches us that things should be repeatable and reproducible. Running through a form of questions and ticking off boxes doesn't seem very "advanced" to me. In fact it seems like the very definition of

If there is one thing I've learned about depression is that we suck at identifying it and we suck even more at "curing" it. I'm not a doctor. But there is a huge difference between being sad and killing yourself. There are some people who t

We have to study it from multiple angles. I don't have a problem with more research into SSRIs. Hell I don't even have a problem with SSRIs. The main issue I have is that people think our understanding of mental illness / psychiatry is as g

And what I'm getting at is the fact that there SHOULD be a blood test. Or a biopsy. Or something more concrete. Is it not possible? I'd like scientific research to say that it is impossible.

How do you definitively test for depression? Are the diagnostic methods pretty good? Both accurate and precise with very low false positive rates? Is the medication proven to work for depression? Sorry but I think a lot of that can be argue

by jtchang 14y ago
The problem with depression is that it is hard to diagnose. If anything we are still in the dark ages of mental illness. If you have an infection we have a way to tell you what infection. Right now there is no way to test for depression. Mo

What happens if we take this idea and instead encrypt the messages using PGP. If bluetooth wasn't so crazy on power consumption you could delivery peer to peer SMS's. It would probably take a while though for delivery to happen if you weren

I freaking love OXO products. Why? When you browse the kitchen utensil aisle at target you have a choice: Do you go for the cheap ass $1 dishbrush or do you splurge and get the awesome OXO brush? Time and again I think OXO does a great job

This is amazing. I love how they are moving so fast they simply publish results to a Google Doc spreadsheet. This foreshadows an era where non-profits must aggressively publish their spending and compete on how lean they become. My guess is

If you are going to put backdoors (I can't believe I am even saying this) on your product then it might be good to at least disable normal password logins and only do SSH key exchange. That said why the hell are there UNDOCUMENTED backdoors

This is one of the cases where it is hard as hell to infer what tone Steve Jobs wanted to reply back with. It sure sounds assholish but it is very well possible he knew that Palm was actively poaching and blatantly disregarding existing NDA

Best thing to do is provide the logs and see if it is idling. I agree though that if you are hitting the damn thing every second it shouldn't go idle.

Major props to Mr. Chen. Just because we think Silicon Valley is the hotbed of innovation doesn't mean it isn't happening elsewhere. In fact I'd wager that a large part of the silicon valley culture is getting set in their ways and not will

So many trash comments on the site about how NASA should be "offering more money" or how this is a way for them to "save money" and it is all a scam. Seriously? Any decent hacker attempting this is probably doing it for props. The money is

Regardless of what you may think about KimDotCom he certainly has persistence. You'd think anyone would quit after a FBI raid and being sued into oblivion. So what if the service falls flat? I don't really plan to use it until the kinks are
