Right, and things like the media lab and EC have culture. WeWork doesn't even know the meaning of that word.

I worked in a WeWork for about a year. Their biggest gap, which they are nowhere near overcoming, is culture. The culture at WeWork is incredibly artificial and made everyone there feel disconnected and unhappy. A huge focus on sports and d

It seems like a more realistic/useful current valuation than many of these pie-in-the-sky valuations or acquisitions, given that they actually have real revenue, do a useful thing, etc... seems about right to me for today. Surely that

What's interesting to me is that Apple products generally don't have margins anywhere near this large. Apple's products aren't generally built the 'easiest' way possible for fast assembly and such. The optimiza

Until recently I was teaching for another 'coding bootcamp' (or something that could be described as such) and when I was reading the linked article/pdf my jaw was on the floor. We surely weren't perfect, but this type o

It does seem that if there's no way to buy from the USA that there's a hell of a business opportunity there. I know nothing about this, but if that gap exists and anyone wants to work on the problem together... let's do this?

Strange question; why didn't many games in this era exploit this? I'd guess that the knowledge just wasn't as easily shared? Seems these systems were capable of pretty amazing things, but those things were frequently overlook

Wait, they just imposed water restrictions? Wouldn't have that made sense to start like... near the beginning of all of this?

I really wish Heroku would support http2/spdy easily without the use of clunky buildpacks that I never really trust fully in production.

While not NES, one of my students at General Assembly made a Chip-8 emulator/interpreter in JavaScript for their final project. Chip-8 has 30-something instructions and is relatively simple to implement, and test driving it is pretty e

A serious question; did developers in the 90's simply not know things that we know to be good and true today (mutability can induce bugs, consistent naming is good, global state is almost always bad, huge switch statements bad, various

Seriously. My cats are assholes and the Magsafe helped so much. I even have one installed in my motorcycle trunk for on-the-road charging. No worries about it damaging the machine.

I've been interviewing for the past month or so and its been terrible from many perspectives; I'm fine with the interviews content-wise (silly questions excluded), but the entire process is such a time-sink. I have a current posit

NYC's real estate is hard for me to understand. As of 2004, I was able to get a cheap/ugly hotel room 2 blocks from Central Park for $90/night. Fast forward through a recession and housing crisis and I can't seem to find

What are the benefits of being on Subversion and Google Code at this point for a project like this? Or is it just that moving over is hard?

Since Tinder imports images from Facebook, this could be used to suggest the 'best' photos from their Facebook. In my brief looking over Tinder, it seems that images of people in groups, their dogs or their cars are probably ineff

The predefined message trees were kinda terrible, "I can't wait to introduce you to my mom"?!?!? Aside from that, its pretty neat. Edit: kinda wish it ran data analysis on multiple threads/cores. Edit2: It seems to be ta

While maybe it's silly to do it electronically, thousands of people switch out the exhausts on their cars/motorcycles not often for increases in performance... but to have a different sound. Doing it electronically is new, but the

Not to make light of this, but doesn't this sound like the plot to Metal Gear Solid 4? Private armies and all? Not sure I like it when reality mimics fiction like this.

I created a quick gem (which you shouldn't install) that demonstrates having some untrusted code in your app which will post all of your environmental variables to a 3rd party server: https://github.com/tibbon/env_

I dunno about you, but when I'm developing something quickly I often like to just use (and test on) the newest thing out there. Backwards compatibility (and sometimes lack of developer features) is costly if you're on a budget. Fo

Pry changed my life for Rails development. Before it I was still using IRB and attempting to just log things to the terminal constantly to figure out what I could do. Pry has made me 2x as fast (if not more) as a Ruby developer.

These companies (bank in specific) often repeatedly do these type of things trying to get away with m/billions in profit. When caught, the penalties just aren't enough to dissuade them from it. They probably get away with it most

Still, perhaps a good idea to help learn Monads if Ruby is your native programming language. Its helped me, as Haskell is still weird to my eyes

I thought this was really interesting to read, because it hinted to me that with enough buy-in... that even a physically embedded and implemented standard can change if enough effort is put in. This gives me hope for some digital standard
