Whenever I hear about Operating Systems, it reminds me of a comic on how a programmer evaluates the resume of another programmer and one of the items is OS / Compiler development experience is highly valued. So, on a related note, would you

tl; dr: Write email. Copy to USB. Give it to courier who takes it to a distant internet cafe and sends it out. Incoming email is copied into the same USB and delivered back.

Didn't know about the Calendar. That's pretty cool.

Why are so many people using Google tasks ? Give alternatives like Workflowy a chance? Evernote works much better than GTasks even if it's not designed for it.

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I agree with his rant on other tech journalists / editors, but on the other hand, what he's essentially saying is, bias on his part is okay, or even expected, if the company he's writing about is one that he's i

Completely offtopic, but every time I open one of your articles, my first point of focus goes on to the photo on the side. Was this intentional or an accident? It's really cool though, normally I don't pay attention to who wrote an article,

Phew, for a second there, I thought the 9 year old made an iOS game himself.

Hi! Was looking through your website, it doesn't say anything about sponsoring H1Bs. Do you do visa transfers if someone's already working in the US?

Can +1 with my anecdotal evidence too. Indian vegetarian diet is pretty heavy on lentils. They're not that bad :)

Mostly it's just the Android / iOS docs or stackoverflow up to help me out. But the urge to hit Cmd-T is just too bad.

It's interesting that you mention multiple monitors. Despite all cases made for programmer productivity and screen real-estate, I find that having a browser window up, starting at me in my second monitor while I try to code on my main scree

Do you know what the middle of the posted range is, just out of curiosity? If I was interviewing at Microsoft, I don't think I'd want to go look at the salary postings before going in :S

Actually, I honestly think the bias is on your side this time. You're assuming that you're nice and therefore everyone else is nice like you. I've actually walked into an enterprise (the car rental company) and found one of their cards lyin

Interesting, never looked at it from that perspective. Thanks!

Actually, I've experienced something similar when moving from India to the US. In India, you just walk into a store, and say I need x, y, z and get out of the store unless you know the owner of the store personally (in which case, the trans

Actually, I've heard a lot of people pick 2 or 7. Can you confirm if this is true?

Indeed. I voted up on yes, wondering what the hell this was about till I actually got to the comments. Now I feel pretty stupid.

Not really. I'd have to go back to India to do it. In India, the payment problem hasn't been solved yet. People barely use their debit / credit cards to buy stuff at stores let alone online. The initial fear that the US had when online purc

If you look at the average pay for a HBS grad student, I think I'd definitely take selling a company for 10M even if you look at it from a pure monetary perspective. If you consider the meta aspect of it, say, why are you even learning mark

True, I can see Variable insurance premiums based on your likes / friends, it _is_ a scary prospect. I guess a similar problem applies to any form of insurance. I don't know if it's wrong to do that though, if it leads to lower insurance pr

On a slightly unrelated note, are there any UX/UI books that are targetted for programmers? I'm a complete noob with photoshopping and can't create a button to save my life. Working on side projects, this is really annoying.

Sure, we've looked at Phonegap and Appcelerator and it seemed like building native apps seemed a good idea at that time with Apple threatening to ban them because of Flash apps being cross compiled. But right now, I'm just looking for any g

I also find the Stackexchange sites generally give me more relevant answers faster. The advantage of having a beta time where a core group users get to explicitly state their interest perhaps?

Considering that it's only for 48 hours, I wouldn't think any of these factors (snoring, bathrooms, no backout option) would be relevant.
