From Isaacson's excellent biography of Jobs, the one thing I gathered is that he had taste (turtlenecks and baggy jeans notwithstanding... ok, haven't seen the yacht either). He bullied a whole company into satisfying…
Because millions of others have a much more desperate need for some love and some feeling of self worth. Even a surrogate one. There's no insulin for that...
Of course, I assume nobody wants Ms. Ortiz to spin into deep guilt-driven depression for doing what she believed was right. This kind of emotional blackmail is probably not helping anyone or anything, at least not this…
Some publicity is bad publicity, Novus Partners....
> these kinds of post (and we seem to get a lot) usually strike me as "a list of good things about me" or "why everyone should be like me". Yep... That's why the mysteriously named skill, "spiritual" may actually be…
Thank you Terminator!!! We knew you'd do a great job!...
... and may be you don't call her a slapper in your blog posts or she may slap you for real. I would. She should...
Yeah, not a big waterfall (or agile, or any other pyramid scheme) fan myself, but this kind of bullshit did get a man on the Moon and then a mixture of them got some kit on Mars, and generally they are doing OK. Some of…
In all fairness, the US corporations probably owe more than a little to Mexico. On purely ethical grounds, I'd rather buy an IBM machine built in Mexico than in the US. It's that little personal satisfaction.... But it…
If you spent your life being inconvenienced by the things you made earlier to make your life convenient, you'll go to extraordinary lengths to make other things that seem to make your life convenient given all the…
So what's wrong with it is that it feels clunky to you...
This posted by Dell or something?! What's with the over-excitement?
You can (and should) be removed from private property for not complying with the rules. Apple makes it very clear: "We view Apps different than books or songs, which we do not curate. If you want to criticize a…
That's why you "Inherit a codebase", as opposed to "Build a codebase". People who maintain and people who build are... well... they're just different people. We do need them both, but, they are different. Which is why…
Yeah, the next time you go to your local yoga class and the local bleached bimbo starts babbling on about quantum physics (for some reason, a favourite subject), ask them if they can solve a quadratic equation. Guess…
Original post. iOS in Java?! Why?! GWT! Why. Just learn ObjC, Javascript, whatever the local language is... It's not that hard really...
Why is it so hard for Java programmers to learn anything other than Java?!
60 seconds?! It took me at least 10 seconds of looking for a 60-second thing to work out that the shortest one of the things you can see that has some meaning is almost five minutes long. Am I missing something??
'He said Codecademy wasn’t just about teaching people to be programmers, but about helping people learn higher skills. “There are definitely people who become programmers through the site, but there are also people…
I'm not against money in any way whatsoever, but, really, you don't do this kind of stuff for cash. You just don't. It should have been done already and the money should be flowing in without kickstarter to YC or other…
OK now, this is a whole new business model and I like it. Early supporters pay for the demo and get a t-shirt. Later supporters pay for the continuing refinement of the demo and get a t-shirt. Later supporters pay for…
No, don't quit! Embrace! That's 14 hours (if I remember correctly) you could have spent working on your own projects instead of being pissed off on HN. The world is full of this, and it's well accepted and nobody…
This is completely unrelated to the subject, and I have not used mongodb, have no idea if it's good or bad, and I don't even know how to spell it, but isn't it ironic that this post shows up on the day when the top HN…
