We’re already at bus factor of close to zero for most bank code written in cobol lol

I have an XC90 but the hybrid that is not plug in. I can say that the software is complete trash. The screen often goes black. I’ve had to replace twice parts that made the entertainment system dead. My second car is a model Y and now I dread driving the Volvo. It’s bigger so we use it to go to the cottage but other than that, I wish I had something different.

It never occurred to me to have this but in light of ai it makes sense. I bookmark tweets left and right I wish I could just ask ChatGPT about them.

If everything is modelar and can be replaced is the think pad just a box?

Their play is to send emails with those domains but in the emails claiming to be you and when people reading the email go to the domain, they see your page (they got redirected).

Agree 100%

Sounds very legit

Tried a couple of times. It isn’t there yet.

what an incredible hope-giving story!

I think WFH will become a valid - not just pandemic - category requiring businesses to be ready for a "hybrid" model. Software will be needed to support people that will be WFH and the people at the office. I think that's the big opportunity.

I just read this whole thing to find out it didn't work... :(

I get it - the act of staying away from your phone is taking up cognitive capacity. And if you're addicted, the constant reminder to check also takes cognitive capacity. Sex is no different - if you're single, or married and you want more sex than your significant other - believe me, sex will reduce your available cognitive capacity. The constant thought of how do I get more of it (single or married) I'm sure does more than your smartphone and probably the smartphone is just a tool to the idea of getting more sex.

I clicked on this thinking there was a new font, maybe a cousin of Helvetica...

I lot of comments about building a self driving car and zero showing the "real" self-driving car. Show and then tell!

is it? or maybe, unlike other startups, Twitter is willing to make the changes necessary to adjust course and reinvent itself? Google cut Buzz and Wave. They were both great initiatives that never took off. You can't throw good money after bad money. I think developers are important but the users experience is paramount and if to maintain that they need to adjust their service, so be it.

I think if you are just pushing through (brute force) to fix a bug "without thinking" then you will never figure it out. Also, "thinking before" as the article claims, without actually looking at the code or stack traces, that's just mental brute force.

Pretty much it's a combination of both: you look at the code, you think about what's happening and what could go wrong, you look at the code again, you think some more, you look at stacks, variables, output.. and then you think again and BOOM: you figure it out.

The best debugging tool is you. Use all you have.

No matter how much PHP is improved upon, until there is a serious contender framework for it like Rails or Django, PHP will continue its route to extinction. Dinosaurs were once big and powerful. They dominated the landscape. They don't exist anymore.

Another "this is why I quit" + name_of_company doomsday letter. Instead of a company, he's quitting his research and university. We know why this starts: seeking fame. We know how this ends: forgotten.

The tl;dr should go at the top!

Interesting.. shaving that yak allows us to be lazy as it moves us to meaningless and simple(r) tasks than comprimising on some things and attacking the real problem. Now that I'm conscious about this I need to stop shaving that yak!

This bug reminds me of what my dad taught me when I got my driver's license. He taught me that knowing how to drive carefully wasn't enough to prevent accidents. I had to drive for myself and for everyone else. I clearly remember "you don't know what kind of drunk will be blowing a red light".

In this bug, Paul was driving carefully - he relied on the parser to do a good job. But relying on the parser is like crossing in GREEN light without checking. 99.9% of the time you should be OK. Until that one time with the drunk blowing the RED light.

My dad was right. Had Paul not relied entirely in the parser and done accurate memory allocation (checked for that drunk blowing the RED light) - everything would have been fine.

I think you are misjudging. What if he spent a lot of time in the product making sure it works well without too much care for "shininess"? If anything, using twitter bootstrap shows that he cared a bit to make it look usable from a splash site point of view. I think we should give feedback on how the product is actually working rather than complaining that he's using twitter bootstrap.

Finally something to say "you go Microsoft!" - Windows Live was so DOA that you couldn't make lemonade with it!

From the point of view that public markets are accesible to everyone - the secondary market is like a grey market: there's limited information, likelihood of anonymity and weak controls. With that in mind, I would call it "shadowy".

Also, I think making money on timing the market is not a bad thing. To each his own. However, timing the market does not create value. It is merely displacing value or what they call a zero-sum game. I don't think the article goes too far in displaying MA as someone playing that game. In fact, makes the point so valid that it's hard to argue that he has created some sort of permanent value. Other than netscape, the FB board seat is just a fancy chair...

I will not stick to dropbox just because of some general and broad legal mumbo-jumbo. The truth is, both services are identical in terms of their intention to hosting your files. However, I cancelled my account today with dropbox for three reasons:

1) 5gb over 3gb I had at dropbox 2) Integration with gmail - you have to admit, this is awesome 3) Integration with google docs. I don't use excel or word anymore. I use google spreadsheets and docs. Now that ALL my stuff is in google drive, I no longer have to separate office-styled documents from pictures, videos and other files. All of them in one place is just amazing.

There's no doubt dropbox was innovative, but since I'm every day on google/gmail/docs - there's no reason for me to use/login to another service.

There must me something else to it because if the spreadsheet is sitting passively open there would be no need for Google to go an pre-fetch again.

Great resource and like the pros and cons although with stats would've been better.
