Not sure if you have any idea what sarcasm is. I didn't mean he actually eat people, actually even if he did that wouldn't have changed a lot.

sure, like http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing for example? Moloko said her sister was burned to death with a tire around her neck while attending the funeral of one of the youths. Her body had been scorched by f

I'd say "my advice is to attempt startups where the center of a confluence of macrotrends would be in the near future". Optimal "near future" distance is the time needed to develop a working version 1.0 (not exactly

I'd say "Rest in a necklace, Madiba". It completely escapes me how sane people can so seriously worship cannibals like Mandela.

Okay, how do you suppose to exit then? I take $150K from you, create a small SaaS service a la @patio11 and then start slowly crank up customer base, showing stable 10-25% y/y growth. I see no exit for your 15%

Linus for example isn't the nicest guy in town either. I know a few devs who are parsecs ahead of me, in knowledge and/or productivity. None of them could qualify as a nice and polite person. May be observation bias, but I see a c

Miserably if you apply the same rules. But I can't imagine a Russian female software developer being offended by Russian "he" in the documentation. Every occupation has a gender too and 'software developer' is &#x27

Yup, exactly. That's how computer software industry transforms into civil rights movement. I guess we developed all possible softwares on earth and need no industry anymore.

<sarcasm>"to reject a pull request that eliminates a gendered pronoun on the principle that pronouns should in fact be gendered would constitute a fireable offense" - nice place to work, congrats Joyent employees.</s

Built from the start, yes. and... what? you mean what would happen if I undo the creation of the doc? Like I was deleting the doc - the system either would not allow me because of the linked docs/events/objects or would do a casca

I just went through it, it is actually difficult, but not THAT difficult. You don't flip a flag, you implement a Command pattern of sorts: instead of deleting an object you record the command "DELETE" along with the copy of t

There is absolutely no problem implementing undo on the web with restful interfaces. I just built a quite complex data management application where almost anything is undoable in a very Photoshop way (you see the "History" pane in

Wow. There're experiences that you may think of but never really anticipate to encounter. For me it was feeling shame for buying a Kindle edition of the book. But I really want to read it and if so I need to buy it in the Kindle form.

There's no such thing as "software development". It's like "math" - a very broad term. If you're getting good scores at engineering and math, you definitely could switch to development, you just need to as

I'm not thinking about special favors for cyclists, roundabouts allow everyone not to stop if there's no cross traffic.

I've worked in Ams for few months, about 15 years ago. And I've seen car-bike accidents there too. Not sure what do you mean by "excuse". Cars and bikes are not equal, that's right, as well as small sedans and large

I don't see such classy combination at once often, it's just a sum of everything I see. But running lights and stops is very-very common here.

I do not bike to work, right, it's 50 miles one way. But I ride the bike for recreational purposes.

some of them just speed through the intersection if they consider it safe, I've heard screeching tires a few times, which means they misjudged. Stopping at every stop sign is a financial pain for a motorist, because MPG drops considera

I see them too. I also see them got ticketed heavily and some even lost the privilege to drive. But I can't say that vast majority of cars run stop signs. Your link is not relevant, sorry.

this guy got injured right where thickest part of the standard styrofoam helmet is. About half way above the eyebrow to the temple. He survived (but there was a lot of blood) but with the helmet he'd walked from the scene with a few sc

I can't resist the urge: responsible government should still allow people to use cars, but full-auto cars should be banned! :-)

No, it is not. But it is also not OK to prevent cyclists to kill themselves by car. I've witnessed an accident recently when the car in front of me hit a cyclist. He was: a) riding at night without lights b) running red light c) agains

Btw, what always escaped me about US weapons laws is that police can have 10+ round mags, full auto weapons, etc, but the individual can not. As opposed to military, police fights basically the same criminals as we, mere mortals, do. The on

Collectively we do justice, not revenge. Justice differs in one important aspect - we give the other party the ability to prepare and defend itself.

We need a list, somewhere on wiki, to collect all these notices and store them forever. Then one day when I'm working on a next venture round and the law firm comes knocking, trying to "help" me for the sizable chunk of this
