As someone who donated to John Edwards's campaign in 2007, I can sympathize with that scenario. I don't think it's right, and maybe I have just been in DC too long, but this is how this sort of thing works in the media. I never said they ow

Of course it doesn't have anything to do with it directly, I'm talking about the perception created by that sort of story and the coverage it spawned. If you're on record talking about someone's positive qualities, and they make a mistake,

Since I'm not sure if this is in response to me or just a general comment, I want to clarify that I don't personally think YC has much room to maneuver and I don't think they should be the ones out in front of the story. I just think that a

I think it might have something to do with the articles about how saavy the founders are, how some who passed on it regretted doing so, etc., than purely their involvement as investors. This story does not mesh well with that message.

The other big discussion indicates that the SFPD have already made an arrest. I think it's more about the bell that cannot be un-rung at this point.

I do something similar. About 10 years ago or so I decided to force myself into writing the results of that sort of interaction down in a notebook, which forces me to rethink it as I convert it into user stories. This explicit step of recap

I try not to start writing code until I am at the point where it's pretty much just typing. It doesn't always work out this way, and it isn't necessarily always the right move, but it forces me to have a really clear mental model of the pro

I feel like a broken record on this issue, but every few weeks I'll get fed up with something about FF and look to see if Chrome finally has a decent port of this and I'm always disappointed. One day, I hope...

I'm not even going to get into whether they're being honest about it, but when I called to ask about transferring my service to a new apartment, Verizon told me that they'd stopped rolling out FIOS to new locations because they didn't have

Hah, now all you're missing is a feature to erase 6 years of muscle memory and habit to always immediately check Reader.

by smhinsey 15y ago
Excellent, thanks, I think that would probably do it. I was thinking specifically of that screen you'll see that lets you choose whether to add something to Reader or your home page.

by smhinsey 15y ago
Wow, this is pretty excellent. Is there an easy way to subscribe to things similar to how Reader works?

by smhinsey 15y ago
Hm, thanks, I'll check that out. I'll probably still hit the site directly, but it'd be nice to have that archive in my account.

by smhinsey 15y ago
Thanks, that does look useful. It might be a good way to follow some low traffic subreddits without subscribing to them. My main beef, however, is less with the content of the feed per se and more with the fact that they are in a fixed orde

by smhinsey 15y ago
Yeah, I'd settle for a high quality search within reader itself, realizing that integration into the main search might be impossible. I find it really confusing that the "Share" link in Reader still goes to Buzz, which is sort of associated

It's been basically my primary portal to the internet since it came out. Other than HN and reddit, which don't really produce super useful feeds, I don't really browse any sites directly anymore. I have always been looking for the next big

It's pretty unlikely, but fun to think that they might be planning on pulling something similar to the Chrysler Building. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Building#Construction

I didn't say that they were. The fact that a single well chosen asteroid can represent ~5 times the annual global output of a given metal is a nice side effect which happens to make the whole thing financially viable. The goal is to bootstr

This was pretty specifically anti-union behavior, although obviously nothing was done that would generate any paper trail. I am sure there was some exaggeration due to human nature, but it is basically an open secret that large non-union sh

I've never worked for one, but it wasn't an ideological thing. If you worked with people for more than 6 months or so, you'd get your team broken up. If management found out that you were friends with a group of coworkers and were getting t

I totally agree, it's a disaster. I feel the same way about GridMove, which is the best thing I've been able to find for managing multiple windows on a big display. For some reason, the syntax for defining the grids is so opaque to me that

This is part of a pretty disturbing general trend of large corporations using the criminal justice system as if it were an extension of themselves. I honestly don't see how anyone at Cisco who signed off on this sleeps at night.

I still can't quite wrap my head around what it means for a DVCS to have exclusive locks. It seems like either the locks aren't exclusive or the system isn't distributed. Edit: this kind of covers it: http://veracity-scm.com/qa/questions/1

You might want to check out ActualMultipleMonitors as well. It adds some features that I don't believe Ultramon has yet, such as the ability to have a completely functional taskbar on your secondary, complete with its own start button and n

I understand. My main machine has a multimonitor setup with 30'' displays and I have not found anything that can manage the space effectively (pardon the pun) short of xmonad, which I unfortunately can't use for my day job. I didn't post th

I just thought it would be useful to point out, in a conversation about Mission Control, that if you don't like it, you can disable it.

Indeed, but it is not Mission Control.

I personally think Mission Control is pretty excellent, but then, I am running Lion on an Air without an external display. For that use case, Mission Control and the iOS-style features are both significantly more useful than I had any expec
