There's nothing wrong with having a good job and a life, man. You got a good gig. Enjoy that shit. If you want more, more will be asked of you. Don't call people stupid or arrogant because they were willing to sacrifice to do so

Just because the government didn't need to put their thumb on the scale, yet, doesn't mean they would let a foreign entity take the lead in as critical a piece of infrastructure as transportation. I strongly suspect it was a &quot

Cars are expensive. Cars are also mostly sitting idle. These are objective facts. For most of the country, the only bill bigger than their combined car payment/maintenance is their mortgage. That's a lot of money. I think a co

Yeah, the car companies are also fucked. Prepare for massive consolidation on that front. One or perhaps two or three car manufacturers will swallow the whole market as demand craters. (We all own our own cars because it's a necessi

Sure, but that presupposes that they aren't buying units already. I don't think that's likely.

More stock is more stock. The guys moving into the rich condos live somewhere now, presumably somewhere worse, since they want to move. It's demonstrably effective in freeing up lower income apartments. Perhaps these lower income ap

I suppose all I can say to that is, I do not believe this level of gamesmanship to extract Twitter's value proposition is going to work out. I think they're asking too much of their users, and if they can't figure it out, th

This is such an important point, lost in the punditry. Twitter gets a lot of love from journalists and people with a profile, who write the articles about twitter and control public perception. They have an interest in maintaining a person

I think the root of office politics comes when positions and influence within the company become a zero sum game. It wasn't until relatively late in Microsoft's career that you started hearing about all the reindeer games in Redm

I've had some experience with the H1B staffing mills, and yeah, I'd say exploited is pretty fair, if you compare the work they could be doing vs the work they are doing. I would imagine most of those people would call it a fa

by warcher 10y ago
Listen, there's no point claiming the H1 situation isn't a rampant clusterfuck. Actual skilled laborers lie in limbo while busloads of cheap, disposable foreign workers are brought over to get exploited and depress domestic wages

Well, you see a little microcosm of how the whole San Francisco housing boondoggle was born. New York's building codes in particular are... stunning in their complexity. Same shit, different city. People get real, real, real hot abou

The last interaction resulted in my then-girlfriend's next door neighbor banging on her door and literally screaming at her. I'm not exaggerating. I've never seen a grown man foam at the mouth, but yeah, that apparently did

I have gotten in not one, but several, extremely heated discussions over the years after parking on a public street in front of somebody's house. I'm not a big defender of, say, Airbnb running gypsy hotels in secret defiance of

I can do some remote server management on the phone, but that's about it. And depending on the circumstances, can be a very, very useful thing to be able to do if you find yourself out living, you know, your real life and the server c

Uhh, have you? Cause man, I'll tell you straight up, I despise Eclipse. To the marrow of my bones. But if you wanna do native debugging, they're it. Native debugging is very important when you're getting nasty (and if yo

Uhhh, I never suggested writing lisp in a C style, or ruby in a functional style (well, more so than it encourages at least). That would be crazy. My point is that there aren't that many ideas under the sun. Lazy evaluation, super.

I guess I see it as a form of technical debt-- you move faster, but past a certain level of performance it's all gotta go native. There are a lot of places it would be a decisive win. There are a lot of mobile websites that are grea

So here's the real bear of it, and the crux of my argument. The delegate thing is an iOS thing. Android uses a totally different pattern . I mean, there are delegates, to be sure, but android loves their anonymous inner classes in m

Concurrency is a real bear on mobile, and it isn't something that can be ignored (a la the web) when you're that close to the metal. I'm an explicit js chauvinist, so maybe they've gotten something together on that fron

Truthfully, the language barriers are nothing next to the API barriers dealing with your platform of choice. I am probably giving away my age here, but there's very little that's new under the sun after you've tussled with

I'm consistently disappointed at the (IMHO) mischaracterization of Twitter's woes by prominent writers. While I realize that they are experiencing some real stress, and yeah, it should get fixed, I think they're blind to Twi

Professional services partnerships have been around a long time. This is pretty well trod ground for law firms and medical practices. I don't understand why we'd need to reinvent the wheel here.

I'll be the first to admit that I didn't really get the upshot of this article, but it seemed like they were trying to figure out a way to get more consultants into the startup business. As somebody who does a lot of startup stuff

It turns out that devs are great at a lot of ops type tasks. Basically what you get is developers' innate tendencies towards laziness and over-automation yield really good ops solutions. Where your typical sysadmin will be perfectly

Take care of yourself. And with all due respect, pump the brakes, man. The behavior you are claiming to indulge in is NOT OK.
