Exercise. Bike, blade, or run. I go and rollerblade the Embarcedero. You get some sun, you tire yourself out in a different way, your eyes get to focus more than two feet in front of you. There are people around but you don’t have to be soc

It’s not hard to understand - land doesn’t vote, people vote, and measuring party share by the wrong metric is silly. Tango’s explanation was very clear and perhaps helpful to others but didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know. Ed: Yo

I can’t see how you came to that conclusion whatsoever, though I may be biased as an SF-born Democrat. If you’re looking at the governor race, the votes eyeball to 2.8m Dem, 1.7m Rep. As well, it was surprising to me that you would choose t

He reduced 2040 to 204 by dividing by 2 and 5 because he’s not interested in the factoring so much as just whether 7 is a factor.

That’s not quite true. There are still illegal reasons for firing (discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, etc) though fighting back can be difficult and costly. But if you’re okay with the current state of affairs (I was with my ow

If you find this interesting and would like to read about another money pit, HN led me to read about the Oak Island Money Pit many months ago. http://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/topics/oakisland/story....

Pivotal has nearly 100% of developer time spent pairing. This requires entire teams to be in sync on in/out and lunch schedules, else there will be non-pairing time. That's not the end of the world, but most teams don't have

I used to work at Pivotal and have many friends still there. The 9:06 and reasons here are correct. The line "Then the firm's programmers hit their computers, with no other meetings or distractions for the rest of the day," i

Please slow your roll, you don't need to comment on every single post in here. Also, your definition of blackmail is wrong. From Google: noun: blackmail 1. the action, treated as a criminal offense, of demanding money from a pe

In 2008, Aaron P. from UrbanDictionary let me pair with him for a few weeks at the end of the summer. We used Rails and some JS and did TDD, which is pretty much the same thing that I do today.

I just left Pivotal Labs myself, albeit a bit more voluntarily (after seven years), and Jeremiah isn't completely wrong, but he seems to think he's seen a huge change over his three months working there in a role that is hardly on

I like this. Only thing that I don't like is that many candidates will assume that they have to fix the code within the parser, given those instructions, even if they know that a battle-tested library is how they would actually do it.

$190k[1] before Kickstarter took its cut (5%, plus an estimated 3-5% from credit card fees[2]), which conservatively puts it at more like $175k. Also, that was a full year ago. If the guys decided to pay themselves a year's salary out of th

Your two examples differ in a way you fail to recognize. The illegality of the beer example comes in the act of giving to the underage person. The illegality of the documents example is the first exposure of the documents to someone without

I second this. This book is the textbook for my 'Heuristic Problem Solving' course @ NYU this semester. I'm normally not one to touch my textbooks, but over Thanksgiving break I decided to crack it open - suddenly I was 200 pages deep into

So the 2001st customer costs you $650 - how much they're paying. Still, that's probably > $600 for most startups, especially when you include trialing or 0-cost plan customers. I'd much prefer a graduated system, with different overall

I focus on whatever I'm currently doing really well to Tool and Daft Punk, so mostly them. The music definitely fades into the background, and could probably just as well not be playing, though.

At work, a typical response I've received upon mentioning that I get most of my games through Steam is "Oh. Isn't that the one with DRM?" At first, this threw me; I wasn't even aware that there was DRM on Steam. Well, of course I intuitivel

An offscreen computer on another seed posted some messages. They then propagated from one seed to the others and then websockets automagically sent the posts through to the users sitting at their browsers, which jammed them into the page as

I can understand the issue the author discusses with making tabbing MRU, but I think preference for this behavior differ between users. I have no trouble internalizing the order of the last few applications (or browser windows), thus MRU is

I also agree, but how would you write a nonlinear book? "Choose your own adventure - Math" would be a tricky textbook to produce.
