If a developer pulls out of Apple, the developer loses half of their mobile market, and Apple loses a single customer. I guess if you got all developers to leave Apple, and then all iOS users switched to Android, then it could hurt Apple mo

If you drive 60mph for 20 minutes, you will go 20 miles. If you drove 65mph, then you would travel the same distance 1 minute 32 seconds sooner. At lower speeds, the effect is bigger, e.g. going 45 instead of 40 saves 2:13, and 35 instead o

Other comments give more detail, but some of the good ideas made it into Firefox. A similar thing happened at Google when Omega seemed like it might replace Borg. Borg adopted the best ideas and Omega got cancelled. Sometimes it's easi

These mobile platforms are two sided markets. They only compete on one side for users. They don't compete on the other side for app developers since developers need to use both platforms to reach all users since each user is exclusive

Fd stores are an awesome way to do this too. We used to start up a new version of the process and then they would have to find each other and pass the fds. It's pretty complicated and it's a weird model for the supervisor.

The 409a isn't based on what the market will pay since private shares aren't on the stock market. It's a guess about what the market might pay, but since the shares aren't liquid, the guess can't be tested, so there

The gas burners are wildly inefficient at transferring heat to the pot/pan. E.g. Wirecutter says gas is only 32% efficient, so the nominal 18 BTUs is only 5.8 BTUs in the pan. Whereas electric is at least 75% efficient (higher for indu

They had Google Code. I think it might have first been deprecated before Critique was popular (the prior code review tools at Google weren't quite as beloved). Also since then, buganizer was made partially public facing. It sounds sill

Note that glibc has a similar problem in multithreaded contexts. It strands unused memory in thread-local pools, which grows your memory usage over time like a memory leak. We got lower memory usage that didn't grow over time by switch

I've seen companies give the range for an entire career ladder even though the listing is for a specific level. The laws aren't comprehensive enough to require it, but they should actually break it down instead. E.g. SWE1 135-155,

The scariest thing about the salary transparency laws is that it makes it blindingly obvious that companies do not regularly follow the law. Adherence is both very public and easy, but imagine all the other laws being broken all the time th

It probably seems dumb if you do 6 flambes each night, but the patrons probably eat mostly for sustenance and taste 99% of the time and want a little show this once. It's not like every restaurant has tableside preparations.

Maybe we just had a great inspector, but they found a ton of issues for us and were the cheapest part of the buying process. Compared to all the other mystery fees, I was happiest paying for the inspection.

This is the dartboard paradox. If you throw an ideal dart at a dartboard that hits exactly 1 point, the probability that it hits any particular point is 0, but the probability that it hits a point is 1.
