For the most part, facebook, twitter and sms. Trying to get people I know IRL to check their emails is a battle I lost about five years ago. If we're talking intra-company, then it's slack, hipchat, Yammer, google hangouts, trello

People outside of tech bubbles use snapchat, facebook or whatever chat program is popular this week. I know this because I can't get anybody to return my emails. :(

I'm willing to accept email is rigged. Who uses it for actual communication these days anyway? I use mine primarily to get lifecycle emails from webapps I tried once and to reset passwords. What's next, then? There have been lots

You're missing the biggest feature for a console gamer: not having to plan a full blown PC build and build it yourself. The whole point of consoles is to be able to plug it in and have it just work. While the NUC isn't quite that

"don't rock the boat for being different" only applies to followers, not leaders. Nobody would ever accuse the college hockey star or the startup founder of rocking the boat because he doesn't drink. They would think it

It's $130 one way. Surely, people don't use that to commute on a daily basis? A round trip flight is faster and cheaper ($80-$300 vs $260).

Because it wouldn't matter and it would set a horrible precedent. Who's going to define and enforce what a "reasonable expectation of safety" is? The government, who has a revolving door with the same industry it's

I wonder if somebody would buy a "highly opinionated calorie tracker" that only has non-barcode foods stored in it and mocks you when you try to add bad food to its database. If you miss your macros for the day, it would then text

It's helpful if you don't refer to the loud folk as assholes for the crime of being themselves. I've never had a coworker tell me "no" when I've asked them if they could take their conversation to a meeting roo

I'm not sure it has anything to do with empathy. You can empathize with somebody else's need to either work alone or work with other people, but that doesn't really change anything. Pair programmers still need people to talk

Different learning styles. I once worked with a programmer who needed to externalize thoughts before he could make sense of them. He needed a sounding board and was constantly talking to anyone who would listen and respond. That was his tho

Have you ever used Lazarus? I'm curious how it compares to Delphi specifically for GUI development. From a rapid GUI development standpoint, they seem to be the only game in town aside from VisualBasic.

The way I look at it, that internet still exists. The stuff worth reading is still found on blogs. The rest - twitter, facebook, reddit, et al - is mostly noise. The biggest change is finding the good blogs is even easier these days, thanks

My biggest problem with inoreader is there are feeds I subscribe to that it either doesn't recognize as feeds or won't update them for some reason. That makes it an instant fail for me. Which is a shame; I love the interface.

It's a distinction without a difference. The likelihood of a candidate "fall off" is low because companies tend to be extra aggressive in vetting candidates that apply through recruiting agencies. My personal experience with

A lot of ink has been spilled here on HN about the dysfunction of the video game industry. I won't rehash that here, but I will speak about my specific experience. I worked in the video game industry for three years before burning out.
