Make Something People Want. Have the poster framed on the wall in my office. It's part of the ethos I've lived my life by. Changed an industry, made a lot of money, and pretty much nobody knows who I am (which I'm completel

I told our VP of engineering the other day that the problem they're having is putting everything into locked-in/managed services when you should be owning your product. The service I built has 99.99% availability, most of that was

Having started a number of businesses, I very much prefer having "all the bosses" as opposed to a corporate structure. Can get things done that need to be done without going through the layers to get permission/budget/e

Their sleep is obviously problematic, but they're able to fall asleep (just not for long). Have little sympathy for them as an actual insomniac where I simply can't fall asleep no matter how tired. Hours and hours of laying there

When they started the pickup lines, I started just parking about half a mile away from the school. He knew exactly where I would be and we completely avoided the traffic and insanity of that nonsense. We live about a mile from his current

Physical buttons alone don't solve the problem. Have a relatively new Subaru, if I don't wait long enough after turning on the car, the front and rear defrost buttons won't register that I pushed them (my son thought I was cr

We finally got ours sorted out. Address is wrong (old location), and I submitted old documents (pre-acquisition articles of incorporation and sales tax filings to satisfy their inane requirements), but got our app back into the EU store. Mi

Correct. Just the EU app store. Sold my company more than two years ago, and they failed to transition any of the information to their company account and/or address. It's been like pulling teeth trying to get Apple to update our

You can doubt me all you want, but it works. (I've been boarding for more than 30 years, you'll usually find me on the double-blacks) Obviously can't start them on a slope with moguls, but it needs to be a steeper slope th

I've taught several snowboarders how to ride and the teaching process is about putting them in a position where they forget about the distracting things. Always start them on a blue (or blue-black) slope, because it forces them to lear

Don't know if he was involved with the recent app updates, but they really suck. Additionally, they recently added a handful of Sonos channels to my favorites. This is my territory that you're not welcome to invade.

I would definitely agree with this. When you're starting a business, a very key part of it is velocity... use what you know well. Once you've proved that it's viable, you can go back and rework things to be better/coole

There is no replacement for displacement. Have several V8 Mustangs (both NA and supercharged), and an M4 with an S58 (twin turbo). Completely different profiles. I like all of them, but they aren't even close to the same thing. I lik

Totally agree. It's definitely not the right tool for what they're doing, but some of the engineers don't seem to know better, or understand, the point of being able to run scripts on Redis. Lots of Lua scripting and calcula

by marklubi 2y ago
This sort of makes me sad. Redis has strayed from what its original goal/purpose was. I’ve been using it since it was in beta. Simple, clear, fast. The company I’m working for now keeps trying to add more and more functionality using

When it happens nearly every time you go to sleep, it gets rather tiresome (I’ll show myself out) Seriously though, I wish I could turn it off. Almost every single night. No thanks. Edit: When it gets to be that common, it really starts t

I was doing this in 2007. Most of my time was spent trying to figure out how to automatically de-duplicate the tripe, and filter out the AP re-posted stuff.

VS for Mac was junk. Better off trashing it and pushing people the VS Code route. I use VS Code daily for .NET development. It's probably 70% of what VS on Windows is, but it works well and I don't need to run a VM for it (if I

The lists can be ridiculous sometimes. Many sites have an 'unsubscribe from all' option, that is basically just an unsubscribe from all CURRENT lists. Later they create another list and you end up subscribed to just that new one,

Simonis is pretty much the gold standard. Their 860 is my preference, but their others play really well too. The Predator Arcadia is good, but plays really fast. Haven't really had issues with the other brands I've played on (asid

Humidity also plays a huge factor with the felt, same with the tip of your cue and how it hits. If a tournament is using Andy Cloth (Taiwan based producer), I won't even bother entering. Their felt isn't a consistent thickness, an

I'm 45 and have been in the industry for more than 25 years. I think it was closer to 2010/11 when things went sideways. The birth of the iPhone changed a lot of things, but it took a few years to reach critical mass.
