Lessig: The Marshall McLuhan of the internet age. Elliptical to the point of sometimes being cryptic. I took that to mean he wanted Snowden to elaborate on why he feels that there are different ethical considerations for leaking information

For those of you who were a fan of customizing the colors of message bubbles in Messages.app and don't like that Apple removed this ability as part of the iOSification of Yosemite, there's an app for that: https://githu

This is just as underwhelming to me as all the Android ones that were announced earlier. My wish list: 1. Its own cellular connection (not tethered to a smartphone) 2. Tactile (not touch) controls for music 3. Waterproof (even for swimming)

The guys who wrote the agile manifesto are also the same guys who created and promote Scrum though. They kinda are one in the same.

Right brain asleep while you're programming and left brain asleep while you're designing! You could literally never stop working! ;)

No, we lack the ability. Any animal without big selection pressures to develop and maintain this ability seems to lose it rapidly, as other adaptations of the brain for other purposes seem to preclude USWS. Only animals which really need

Offering to pay for it probably puts people off. You're suggesting a quite legitimate (if not common) method of assessing your skills. You're already paying for it with your time, as are they. If they think it's a novel idea

Easy solution: set IM to do not disturb and mute notifications until you're done with the intense focus task.

I strongly recommend reading the "Remote" book. There are sections which detail why the "handicapping" argument you just made is a fallacy. As for the workflow you describe being "impossible with remote communicatio

Here is a repost of a comment I posted directly to the Ars Technica thread in reply to the author endorsing Agile/Scrum and expressing ambivalence towards telecommuting: "That's 20th century thinking, Peter! Marshall McLuhan

You can mitigate some of the perceived speed issues by defaulting to show: false in package.json and manually opening your first window after the full runtime environment loads. More info here: https://github.com/rogerwang&#

Can you elaborate on compressing node-webkit with UPX? I've got a nw app which feels somewhat fat at ~70mb and shaving some of that down would be of interest to me.

It's less data over the wire. Same benefits as minifying CSS and JS.

Another proprietary IM protocol (although the clients are open). Can't we all just use XMPP already?

Also, have you heard of ejs? It seems like it has similar design goals to what you're working on. https://github.com/visionmedia/ejs

How's this take? https://github.com/kethinov/teddy Not exactly a general purpose programming language (as XML really shouldn't be used that way, of course), but I think it takes a lot of the ugly verboseness

I'm less concerned with the reuse of their logos and more concerned with the fact that their logos are implemented in HTML/CSS rather than as images, which means there will be subtle differences. Basically those aren't their

Attacking the credibility of the author doesn't address the merits of the argument. It's an ad hominem attack.

Because you attacked the author, not the argument.

Anecdotally, whenever I try to suggest Scrum-but-without-the-rigidity, I just get dogmatic "that's not Scrum" responses.

It's not about minimizing communication, it's about minimizing unnecessary communication and unnecessarily burdensome forms of communication when other forms suffice. The examples you bring up are excellent examples of when to cal

It seems the opposite to me. There's nothing stopping you from continually improving processes under the async model. On the other hand, Scrum retrospectives are token at best because they assume the premises of Scrum. You can't a

Which they shouldn't do. Both sides of the table should embrace programming language agnosticism. I've spent most of my career doing PHP and later Node.js, but I'd be happy to take a job working on a product written in Python
