Filters are pretty easily replaced with Sieve and Sieve-Manage. At least anecdotally they have adequately replaced them for me.

I had to stop using my phone's vibrate mode completely because I started to feel the phantom vibrations when I didn't even have my phone in the same room with me.

It's anecdotal but it didn't stop until I decided that my phone would never vibrate again. This is only moderately inconvenient to me as I also refuse unless I'm aware of a real window of availability to turn on a ringer at all.. If I answer my cell phone it's because I saw the display light up.

The right answer. With a design that focuses on simplicity ( reducing the entry points ) you can be pretty well assured that if someone attempts to gain access to your data you will likely know.

For me that is an important factor. I rather dislike the fact that in scenarios like Gmail and other providers of their ilk -- access is provided transparently to a third party.

Running your own server can give you a reasonable expectation of privacy. Even in a hosted/colocated environment if you take the time and effort.

It ends in tears.

I agree. Sony's actions have just been more insidious from my admittedly anecdotal perspective.

Personally, I don't care if the Kinect is always connected if the thing isn't online at all.

Also a $100 Discount doesn't have any traction with me regarding all of the bad will they created from the decades of pushing highly proprietary technologies into the market. Their terrible practices for me hit a crescendo when they made my life miserable via in-laws putting Sony rootkit audio-cd's into their PC.

Nope. Not getting any more of my dollars.

Thankfully Dovecot + Sieve makes the transition pretty easy.

I use GitLab extensively and it has an acceptable level of friction:value for me.

It's possible to use both Twitter and Github in a less public fashion.

It's an excellent service but sadly just like Gmail is nestled snug in Patriot Act-landia.

I feel less and less comfortable relying on Google for something this important.

Leaning more towards solutions that I can completely control and host/backup myself.

One could also argue that your willingness to quickly diagnose an individual coping with a traditionally high-anxiety situation (interviewing) with trendy cognitive bias issues calls your ability to recognize your own weaknesses into question.

After watching that I get the distinct impression that I've only got 7 days left to live...

I pretty well matured PHP5 based "Rails-inspired" framework is SilverStripe.

http://www.silverstripe.org/framework-introduction/

It's a license that requires any changes you make to the code be made available to the public as well as all code that connects to it in related services.

It is a license that touts "ultimate freedom" but the reality is that it removes your freedom to make changes that you would like to keep private.

It was a cruel thing for them to do, honestly. As someone with ADHD-PI who was diagnosed at 11 years old (jeez, 24 years ago) I never appreciated being lumped in with hyperactive people. I am the opposite of that (although I am prone to mania.. but it's very rarely manifests physically) by nature.

This damned problem has been just that. I went without medication for over 18 years but in the last year have had to seek treatment again. I definitely needed to do it sooner but as life becomes more and more complex and I'm beholden to other's schedules something had to give.

Life with the medication is a much better place for me. Wish I'd pursued it again sooner.

I thought I was the only one who used SilverStripe!

I was building a system in early 2004 that crawled and cached RSS feeds to collate them into streams for users based on subscriptions. My intention was to have one set of crawlers bring things into a large cache that could be accessed by a use base vs. having everyone constantly hitting up every website for the latest RSS entries and reduce overall traffic (excessive RSS traffic was an issue at the time) and to also provide people with consistent website formatting (enhancing readability) and all of those other no-brainer things that we take for granted now.

I'd progressed quite well and had a handful of people who were helping me test it out thoroughly addicted to using it to consume the latest news from their favorite sites.

I spent entirely too much time building in social features and essentially recreating LiveJournal (Live Journal's ability to allow you to follow all of your friends blogs in a somewhat clean format was my inspiration but applied to any RSS source) and by the time I was ready to take it to the next level Google announced Reader and I abandoned the project (beaten to market by Google yet again)

I had other distractions that made it an easy decision but I guess I shouldn't have given in so easily. Live and learn!

It's cute but once you outfit the thing you might as well buy a Mac Mini.. you'll get a better CPU.

No, what I'm saying is that she was expendable.

It's always an equation. If someone is not worth the trouble they represent in the situation at hand -- this is the result.

The reason it has come to this is that Adria Richards never expressed even a minor amount of remorse for costing the other person his job.

She never re-evaluated her actions and acknowledged that she did something wrong.

She had every right to be offended and A) confront them or B) Report them to convention staff.

She reported them to convention staff and that was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately she also decided to publicly shame them and that resulted in a knee-jerk firing.

If Adria had expressed any amount of remorse vs. proclaiming herself a "hero" multiple times in the situation then the whole thing might have been perceived differently.

I'd like to think that everyone will learn something from this situation but the world is really divided into those who can accept responsibility and those who always find someone else to blame when things don't go as they expected.

She's been fired because SendGrid doesn't need a "Developer Evangelist"

If she was an indispensable asset they would have found another way to handle the situation.

New staff means lower wages and higher profit margins.

There is no room for social dynamics in a corporate environment.

The shareholders see no value in it.

The funny thing about success is that it's highly subjective and sometimes the perception of failure is just a issue of narrow perspective.

If during the course of working toward some arbitrary goal you enjoy yourself and learn something then you have accomplished something that is more important than most end results.

What you do for a living does not define you as a person. It's just the shortcut that others use to categorize other people into easy to quantify values for comparison. You can certainly through the course of your professional life enact change that touches the everyday lives of countless people. The majority of actions that change lives though are the plain, boring, and downright ordinary actions of the majority. The combined machinations of our every day lives and how we impact those directly connected to us are just as important as that next disruptive idea that shifts culture.

Live inspired and find joy in the things that really matter.

This looks really cool. I'd definitely be interested if I had the option of hosting my own instance. My line of work requires collaboration but borders matter in regards to where things are stored geographically.

Detox, withdrawls.

You can use non-Thunderbolt displays with your iMac. The DisplayPort adapters still work with the thunderbolt ports.

I have a feeling this is an initial marketing feature for him.

You pull in users who value the convenience and ease of signup and once you reach critical mass the feature no longer yields the percentage of conversion that makes/breaks your venture.
