My favorite example for this is Lego. It started as a small startup making toys and it became a multi-billion, multi national business and one of the worlds most loveable brands. It can happen to you too! Q.E.D. ;p

A group of people standing around watching a person who is clearly confused and in distress but do nothing. Uniformed armed officers arrive to take charge of the situation, use little judgment and follow what they think is procedure, when i

I’ve declared it a “shameless plug” and winked it was a “ritual”. None of those makes it neither acceptable nor unacceptable. Why I posted it? I posted it, as a comment, mainly because it is fun for a couple of hundred people to play every

I am pretty sure I would write it differently if I gave it a go, but I don’t think I’d change anything in the UX. Obviously nothing is going to change in the game play also. So why a software rewrite? For myself. But, if I’m writing somethi

Another rainy Friday morning, another shameless plug time! Someone says "minesweeper", I post my implementation - “bugsweeper”. It's an established ritual. Here go: http://www.ronilan.com/bugsweeper/ Few

Google translate, like a screwdriver is a tool. One can possibly do nasty things with it, but one, if is not a tool, and if limits oneself to just screwing things, should be ok. Can we translate that? Naaa. But that doesn’t make the tool sh

> Fundamentally, the thing that scares me is that I’m worried about not being great at the things I do. My daughter learns Mandarin at school. I try to catch up with Duolingo (which btw is amazingly good). Mandarin is a great antidote

Kind of disappointing to see it is about cars not for cars . Kitt and Lighting Mcqueen must feel kind of left out.

I’m not a vet, so I won’t comment on the subject itself, but on a related note, I always found “Google Preferred” to be a bizarre naming choice. Why would a global, and generally loved brand, use the name of another to market a product?

First, good for you. Second, if the transfer of wealth from employers with 300k+ jobs to the public does not lead them to change their practices, than even better for you. Go get the money. But, for the vast majority of people and employers

Employers should be required, by law, to compensate interviewees for their time at a rate equivalent to the job for which they are interviewing. (Macdonald’s, Goldman Sachs, line cook, VP legal, same law, everyone, everywhere)

This is well written. The tweet was well written. And brew, well, yah, well written. Thanks Max for making the missing package manager for macOS. I use it, I taught my kids to use it and will probably keep using it for the next decade. Than

I have nothing to add to the article, but just wanted to point out regarding that YouTube instant thing: 1. Feross never got the job he was "offered" and reportedly "accepted"[1]. He went on to do other things. 2. He is

It will most likely be worse as inflation will hit widely consumed products (basics) harder than least consumed ones. Quantitive easing 2.0. Anyone said housing?

A lot of things have been "historically OK" (at Google and elsewhere), but are no longer acceptable in today's society. It is called progress. Reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/GrlEQ15mVPM

It is simpler than that. There is a social link between age and authority. For the first third of your life almost anyone you interact with who has authorarive power over you is also older than you. Think parents, teachers, coaches, manager
