Why do you have 143 files open at the same time? Personally I use some (2-7?) buffers in vim and cycle through them. When I don't anticipate editing a file for a while I close that buffer.

Good comments are still put at the top. Mentally filter out the recent comments, and you should be able to see quite easily how "good" a comment is. I honestly don't see the big difference.

Apart from a CEO shift, what evidence if any exists that Page will be a Wartime CEO? The analogy with Jobs looks baseless to me, Google is making huge profits and with 6000 new employees coming in 2011 they are hardly in a war. Obviously th

I don't get it. What does it do? EDIT: I get it after checking out the demo. Right now it's far from (for me) clear what the service is all about.

The way I understood Spolsky the IOU was between the founders, i.e. it would even apply if the company went bankrupt. If that is the correct interpretation, they share the same risk. I re-read the entry and it isn't clear to me if Spolsky t

For that to be fair, you'd have to set a super high interest rate on the loan. Why? Hypothetically someone could take a standard loan and use that. That would be cumbersome, and sometimes impossible, but it wouldn't require a "super high"

if the emails are fake, it should be easy for Facebook to demonstrate that. How? It's easy for FB to demonstrate that the emails are real, but not the opposite. Even if Zuckerberg didn't Delete the emails himself, it is in the interest of

Link to the actual book: http://www.scribd.com/doc/52729281/The-Best-Of-edw519 I really like this idea and will buy the book. However, it would be nice if the comments were time-stamped, as not all advice is timeless. Anyone know of any o

What does the US Government gain by doing this? It's not obvious to me that the deterring of similar opinions being voiced really outweight the current and future negative publicity. It would be interesting to hear inside stories about what

The second sentence of yours hardly speaks against a hype curve. Rather the opposite, given recent valuations and the little market doubt/backlash.

That's the reason I didn't give it an honest chance. Nice to hear that was a misconception! The other problem I have with it is the length. It seems as if its ideas could've been expressed a lot more succinctly. Is this another misconceptio

Comment scores should either follow the opinion of the elite (role models, learn-from-the-best) or your "peers" (like snide remarks? go ahead). Currently it's the tyranny of majority. Suggestion for b (possibly intensive processing): Change

I don't get this. On the one hand there's the 40h-a-week camp, backed up by plenty of research [1] and on the other hand there's the work-as-much-as-you-possibly-can camp, which seems to be what plenty of successful startup have been follow
