I'm currently reading "On Writing" by King and he recommends 1k/day and allows you to take a day off each week. He also recommends the obvious (room with a shut door and no distractions) and lots of reading (he averages

I'm not exactly a fan of Salesforce the product but their acquisition strategy seems to be pretty solid. They tend to buy stuff I associate with high quality and good dev teams (Heroku now Quip).

It sounds like a good idea in a vacuum. However I'm a bit worried that this might be in direct violation of some studies from psychology that basically say "as soon as you get money for something you do as a passion project you wi

Direct link to the github repo since the author seeks translators/all sorts of help and it's probably easiest to use a pull request: https://github.com/dennis714/RE-for-beginners

Well Ingress also exists. But I'd agree if you mean mass/mainstream use case.

Technically I'd say it's not just the PokemonCamera (which everone has turned off except when they want to take a picture of a pokemon in a cool location). The game augments reality by providing a virtual layer that you can only s

Thanks for sharing. I just watched the first couple of episodes and they were pretty great. Reminds me a lot of "Design of everyday things" meets buildings. And of course the mental transfer to software is fairly obvious (think us

I mostly read nonfiction and usually do it "marker and pencil in hand" so I try to read carefully and soak up new ideas. I commute by train and read about a midsized book/week that way (sometimes I sleep instead of reading, s

I managed to finish it and mostly share your sentiment however I think it is a decent vision/motivation for VR (not so much AR/Pokemon Go style as mentioned in the post). At least for my personal research in VR-UI/UX I like t

I guess I'll be "that guy" who brings up non-technical concerns. I'd think very long and hard about using MySQL these days. Oracle is pretty much bizzaro treating it and widening the feature gap between the open source a

My feeling is that you'd do extremely well if you focus on employee liquidity. I don't think that's your focus or overall vision but a well working and trustworthy place were employees can sell their options hassle free and n

Negative productivity for 3 months seems like a very conservative estimation. Most places I know have people commit to the code base pretty early. Quite often the onboarding process already has them commit small stuff. You might say...well

I am quite the critic of the EU but by and large it works surprisingly well given the history of the continent and the cultural/language diversity. Specifically the Schengen model which I believe the AU one is loosely based on is a gre

I have worked on the premises of the AU roughly 10 years ago (for a couple of month). I knew next to nothing about it before I worked there. They are pretty advanced from what I could tell. There's clear French and English blocks (+the

Those are pretty hard to assign to a country I'd say. I mean is the Linux kernel Finnish? But yeah if the point is just to use non-US tech they could run Ubuntu Linux (SA) or OpenBSD (Canada) or I suppose Red Flag Linux (China). Langua

Solid read, good basic thinking with regards to scalability via basically prefiltering data except for the one query you need to run at runtime. It's a bit strange that the author mentions Scala as lean/fast with lots of libraries

I think market sizing is a fairly valuable activity. Worst case you are forced to think about it and write down assumptions you can test. The initial guesstimate might as well be throwing a dart but you can use it as an orientation to see w

How is this a problem? You don't save to hoard, you save to use that money later. Delaying the urge to consume in favor of investment is very much correlated to the growth of an economy (afaik, not an economist but a somewhat intereste

I have to wonder if college is actually the right choice altogether. The brothers basically learned everything on their own and most importantly actually shipped. Seems like a solid investment for some tech company to just offer them a job

Predictive policing is quite the buzz word these days. IBM (via SPSS) is one of the big players in the field. The most common use case is burglary, I suspect because that's somewhat easy (and also directly actionable). You rarely find

Indeed anything with constraints is usually a great use case for Prolog. I particularly like this version in ECLiPSe which is specialized on constraint programming with Prolog: https://gist.github.com/JuanitoFatas/22277

It's an interesting language no doubt. There are a lot of different implementations though. I generally prefer free implementations and would recommend SWI-Prolog as it's reasonably fast and has the most documentation. Of the prop

I own an NES and quite a few games but this seems like an instabuy for me. Solid list of games. Metroid, Castlevania 1+2 and both Zeldas. Tecomo, the Mario games, and Ghost 'n' Goblins to keep you frustrated. Pretty cool actually

Pretty interesting that you use "1password (PeopleOps vault)". I guess I never thought about using PW-vaults in a corporate setting. Seems like an interesting approach (compared to some alternatives I know that don't work wel

I'd actually go hard for British (elite) universities as partners for the next round of Horizon. It'll take longer until they get no funding and others will avoid them. Most importantly there's still going to be plenty of Bri

FWIW I have worked in marketing (B2B) at a technology company. I left that out of the post because I thought it was irrelevant (because it's basically an appeal to authority). I'm also a programmer and have a dual CS/MBA-ish
