Thanks, I missed that (I stopped after a couple paragraphs). I did do a quick Google Search after I searched for how many Googlers are in NYC. (Was verifying there's actually 7K.) It's pretty amazing how large some of the non-home

FinTech isn't always all it cracks up to be. I was looking forward to selling people Amazon-branded Toothbrushes.

Countering my counter: would have been nice to have alternative large tech company to earn a living at.

Would be interesting to know how many employees Amazon currently has in NY. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's already in the thousands.

As a counter, I don't have to worry about or co-workers exiting for this fierce competitor with hiring.

Wonder how many people started real-estate speculation who might be hurt from this?

Except, I'd argue that most large distributed systems these days are using much more than two types of data stores, especially when you start including name/value keystores (and in memory caching variants), big data pipelines, tra

I was going to post about Bloomberg Terminals, but figured since I'm late to the story, someone else already did. Yeup. It's funny how little credit we give to business users these days, and how much marketing UX there can be. The

I was one of the lucky kids who played piano in Jazz band and had a DX7 in high-school during that era. Pretty great to see it living on as a retro music tool. This video went beyond my knowledge of creating sounds back then, but did bring

Don't forget about Digsby, which I believe was OS Native and written in Python.

Not a VIM user here, but I think it's pretty great that someone used a tool, often seen as a techie, coder tool, and optimize it to his content creation needs.... ...on top of all the cognitive space he opens up. And the ability to qui

I like optimizations that also free up cognitive load. So that even if you can't "justify" the time savings from spending a couple days optimizing something, it might pay bigger dividends in not having to think about item aga

I've had similar problems with editing photos on an iPad using iPhoto and loosing all the edits when it tried syncing back up when I got connectivity again. I wonder if it's more of a quirk in the iPad APIs or something?

It seems like Google Documents has enough momentum that it's not going to just randomly get shot down. And it doesn't seem to be in the phase of getting neglected.

I've done this for 20 years. In fact, when I was out of college, I was a SDE at a top technology company. My personal motto was that I should never own a car that costs more than two months of my salary. All my other young counterpart

I worked on a large C++ project with design-by-contract pattern a long time ago. It was not the most pleasant experience. There was so much more code to validate pre and post conditions and class invariants. It might have had a lot to do b

There's actually some decent enough places to stop in Nevada, like the Ruby mountains (especially if you're traveling from Utah to Tahoe and need to go by them anyway).

Great advice. Especially for people who might not know the realities of living a nomad lifestyle who might just be enamored with the marketing of it. I toured around for 6 weeks in a van, all down the West Coast, visiting national parks, hi

If your org is anything like mine, mostly things (data) are "additive" onto the existing structure. When you want to deprecate something, you can notify all the consumers like a thirst party would, if you were going to change som

Haa...I remember those days. Actually, I saw some kids playing pond hockey yesterday who were playing shirts vs skins in the 40 degree (f) temperatures.

This is a great series. I'm going to share with my team, just to make sure they can fill in any items they're missing, like using bash functions for shortcuts or aliasing. BTW, Stanford did an online training course 5 years ago o

This is true. I bought my Brydge keyboard at Microcenter and had to look through a couple packages to get one that had even keys.

I do lots of real work on mine. I wish it could do 4K output to an external monitor. But I run things like Emacs and VS Code for smaller projects, iTerm for SSHing into all my beefier machines. Battery life is still great for a machine alm

I've not really been a fan of iOS, but for the holidays this year, I got a cheap 10" iPad 6, and and add-on Brydge keyboard for it. It makes for a small 10" laptop and I'm finding myself using it for 90% of my home compu

I'd buy that if all the research into making them addictive wasn't pursued. Just like cigarettes, a lot of people are being targeted by the addictive nature of these devices. Sure, there's some people who just won't smo

I enjoyed the book, but when I was done, it felt like it really could have been a blog post. In fact, I pointed people on my team at some summaries of it, and then said if they need more, read the book....
