I'm not sure how you're reading this to get that take away. Hiring for potential is what you want to do – what matters is what someone _will_ do, not what they've done in the past. Obviously past accomplishments are an indica

The harm would have been done even if the memo was not leaked, due to the otherwise discussed effects on google employees.

If you've somehow never met someone with horror stories of interacting with their advisor, I'm impressed.

Sandboxing. All third party apps in the Mac app store, and many system apps. Safari, Mail, Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Notes, and Reminders are all sandboxed. I also really like how Gatekeeper ( https://en.wik

This suggests that you think there is no perception bias that affirmative action is trying to counteract. You might be interested to know that when people try to correct for bias, they typically undercorrect. Also, for people coming from mo

When I interview people, I care about tangible evidence to back up what they're saying. That doesn't have to be side projects, but it can be, especially for people who have boring day jobs. (Conversely, if you actually did communi

When hiring a junior developer (or anyone, really), the attraction is the gleaming future potential of a person. So, if you want to get hired, you'll need to be projecting an exciting upward trajectory no matter what. I think you'

Maybe I'm too cynical. This just seems like corporate largesse on Stripe's part, which is kind of neat, except for what happens to things like IndieHackers when that largesse runs out. I guess nice to know Stripe's doing so w

Anyone know how this is bootstrapped to code execution? In the part written up, seems to get as far as “data reads past the end of a buffer”.

This argument is no different when Joel first wrote the test, so to say the question is "out of date" isn't very accurate. Furthermore, I would suggest that five years ago people were arguing about whether open plans were bet

I don't think he's mocking it, but he might not know much about it. Swift's probably on par with go. You have to diverge a bit from normal practice or involve concurrency to be unsafe. This is in contrast to C, where "no

Actually, here's one way of putting it: the Mint developers would write this exact same marketing copy to describe their app. That means that as a user, I'm unable to tell how you differ. What would you say about Penny that Mint w

I suppose feedback / question: I'm a Mint user, and it wasn't clear to me why I should consider switching to this? I'm potentially interested since I do care about this stuff. Here's my reaction reading the faq: &#x

Not endorsing it. For starters, $100 means a lot more to some people than others. But it's not like this is a money making venture for him, it pretty well has to be operating as a filter.

I would regard that $100 as an indicator that you have a real question that is important to you. Marc doesn't need or care about the money.

Did you read the whole article? It sounds like you're only reacting to the first incident. And yes, anyone in your management chain making moves on you is 100% inappropriate. There's a power relationship there. Most companies hav

Focus is on the word "other," here. Paul's been consistent about the need for both something that immediately solves a real problem, even if it looks like a toy to _other_ people, and a big picture key idea.

Mm, I disagree. It's amazing and admirable how hard Chris has pushed on LLVM and such, but if he sees an opportunity to do something he thinks is really important, why wouldn't he take it?

> you cannot plug an iPhone to their own computer, not even to charge it Am I just confused? A USB-C to lightning cable connects an iPhone to a new mac without a dongle, no? It's just a different cable than before.
