What's sort of peculiar is - as far as I've seen/read - he's never been penitent about his past unethical behavior. No: "Yeah, I used to be a dick. I regret leading my company that way" or anything like that. Maybe I'm…
sure, but the issue is that it's conflating things and making an appeal to authority
Won't I condemn myself to be always restless and always working just enough to be able to quit and run away again?

"When you get back to the "real world" you'll never see it the same again :)" I've been thinking about taking 9 months off (specifically traveling China, and learning Mandarin). I'm worried that with all that taste of…

Can you elaborate on what you're trying to say? MATLAB already have MATLAB->HDL, which works very well. We have a team that uses it exclusively for FPGA programming.
I think the general priority has been to improve single thread performance and for good reasons. While there are plenty of problems that are parallelizable, a great majority of problems are sequential. Even if you think…
After a first reading I felt that it really resonated. However, if you think of people that do persue what THEY want from life, they are often quite miserable too. Asking yourself "what would you do if money wasn't a…
Well that's a lot more reasonable - but it seems like they should just hold off on publishing the thing till they finish editing it. The system seems a bit sloppy
Holy shit. How is this not highly illegal? That's like if Congress started changing laws without telling anyone... And you can't really sue the guys...
Thanks for the pointer. In truth, I use a GUI (gitExtentions). I like it a lot more than the command line. Hopefully this is implemented somewhere. I'll look into it!
If you step back for a second. You say: " HFT does NOT take anything from most investors most of the time." Yet the HFT people are making tons of money. Where is it ultimately coming from?
I'd be very hesitant with "commit often". Each commit should represent a finished bit of a bigger feature.. Each commit should compile (...generally. With exceptions). Commits that fix spelling, or change some spacing…
I grew up in the area, and I no longer want to go back; and neither do most of the friends I grew up with. It has not only gotten more expensive, but the culture has changed significantly. The intransigent "family farm"…
Just read the links that were posted. "If the modules are included in the same executable file, they are definitely combined in one program." Piping programs into each other is okay, but once you start bundling it's all…
The links you gave leave the issue ambiguous. It still seems that you can't for instance launch an executable that runs cigwin in the background.
I have a similar issue with the Metro color scheme. It's incredibly overstimulating. Each time I open the start menu, I feel like I just walked in to a kindergarten. I wish there was a way to make it black and white b.c…
cygwin has a license problem b/c it's GPL. So it's a no-go. You can't bundle your proprietary software with it easily.
Sounds like they need oil-rig hours. 2 weeks on, 1 week off. Or something to that effect. Make people work insane hours, but give them 2-3 months of vacation a year.
Aren't they recyclable?
