The key insight here is that random tokens should be self-describing, so you know their intended use and therefore can make decisions and take action when one is detected. If a script sees "ABC123" in a code commit, that's me

Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 did get significant benefit if you tuned the GC because the simple GC it used back then was tuned for quick command line startup. More recent versions have a much improved GC that doesn’t need tuning for most cases.

This is one of the advantages of using background jobs. Any call to a 3rd party service should be in the background to handle network and reliability issues. The job system handles automatic retry.

I've been running a "happy hour" at Friday 10am for 4-5 years now. Some weeks no one shows up. Some weeks 3-4 people will show up. The important thing is that I'm talking with users regularly so I get to help them and he

Capitalism can only give us better products. It can't solve societal issues requiring political leadership to step up. That said, in a perfect world Apple would build commuter and cargo e-bikes and heavily lobby for federal transportat

This is a bad idea for Apple. We don't need electric or self-driving cars. We need cities designed for walking and biking. Our society is choked with multi-lane roads and giant parking lots everywhere, making all other transportation o

Exactly. If you have good growth at the beginning (not hyper), you can afford to bootstrap without any VC at all. To me, VC money pays for marketing spend, most of which is ineffectual. Be hyper-focused on putting out the best possible prod

> housing isn't very dense (compared to a typical US city) Maybe we are thinking of different things but I see the average US city as suburban with 4 people per quarter acre lot. Paris is 10-100x more dense than that. That's wh

The ever present memory bloat with Ruby has been discovered to be a glibc issue. Jemalloc makes MRI memory usage much more predictable and stable.

You can't do a traditional quote, PO, invoice, receipt purchase process when you're selling $99/mo. It just doesn't work. That process makes sense when you're buying and shipping pallets of physical inventory for 5-

The price of wind and solar is coming down so fast that what didn't work in 2015 is perfectly feasible in 2020. My town's sustainability plan was developed in 2014, passed in 2020 and it's already obsolete. Many organizations
