I made this exact same switch a few months ago! RMBP 15 to Thinkpad X1 Carbon + Arch Linux. I've loved it but I do miss the trackpad (although I've adjusted my workflow to use physical buttons now + thinkpad's trackpad). I al

There's so many nice things like this that Smalltalk offered. Fundamentally, they were inspired a lot by systems thinking / theory and related fields like biology. They seemed obsessed (in a good way) with allowing deeper understa

I highly highly recommend everyone read Deep Work by Cal Newport - http://calnewport.com/books/deep-work/ The key concept Cal talks about that's relevant for this discussion is "attention residue".

Title is definitely overblown. Roll-to-roll production is still very much a small scale process. Linear change not stepwise

This Exponent episode on Spotify is excellent and they discuss how they don't have quite the same power as Netflix but still more than people appreciate - http://exponent.fm/episode-144-90s-alt-forever/

It's quite common for people to start with just $1k and do well and get to that kind of money. I'd recommend doing some research before just jumping to conclusions: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-meyerson-05

I'd personally really like for code to go away / not need to use it. It's an important bootstrapping step, but really only the hardware of the 60s and 70s more / less needed text, files, and source code. With the physica

Some good ideas here, but we have to aim much higher than this. I like some of the ideas Bret suggested in his call for climate change: http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/#media

They may just be "hosting" them. Providing support, space, etc. It's a bit unclear actually. Actually, it looks like you're right that they're looking for funding. It seems like Microsoft is matching employee contri

My understanding is that Casey was specifically bothered by newer game programmers not understanding the underlying internals and writing slow software. Seems like he wanted to do something about it and this was his expression and attempt o
