Is this a precedent that Google or any company wants to have, though? Engineers with access to company-wide tools or extensions can put political or divisive content into them? This is more than just a "poster in the cafe" because

Not true. There is no pressure to use a "corp phone" as your main device. It's not even hinted.

This person chose to have their free phone from the company as their personal phone too. This is completely optional at Google, a really nice perk, and it's made very clear that anything under your work profile will be wiped if you lea

I have no idea why this is on the front page of Hacker News but I'm not hating it. I moved from Omaha to the Denver/Boulder area two years ago and besides the Henry Doorly Zoo, I miss Nebraska Furniture Mart the most. NFM is a gre

I've been using it for a year or so and it's brilliant. I love that I can screen calls in a meeting without anyone knowing. Disclosure: I work for Google.

I remember the battle between Jamie Cansdale and Microsoft regarding Jamie's MVP status [1]. The TL;DR was that Jamie developed TestDriven.NET as an add-on to Visual Studio. He released it for the pay versions and the free version: V

I've picked up a few gigs on Mechanical Turk. You pick up the tasks that are worth your time (that you are qualified for). If you don't like the microtask for the price offered move onto the next one. If the entity offering the mi

Using a Lisp-like language is great for creating a new language because of the S-expressions that Lisp depends on. S-expressions are very compact and are easy to parse. There was actually some support for using S-expressions over XML and JS

I have the exact same alias for git status and I'm very familiar with that error message! A few more I live and die by: gf git fetch --all; git fetch --tags gh git log --oneline --abbrev-commit --all --graph --decorate

Ha! Sometimes. But getting around in the editor is so easy with the Vim keys that the arrow keys seem archaic. But I still push the arrow keys from time to time, you know, to make sure they still work.

Funny, I use Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code a lot. The first extensions I install are VsVim for Visual Studio and Vim in Code. After being productive in Vim, I can't go back to using the arrow keys and the mouse. It feels like I

I believe this hack (JSON Hijacking) was discovered by Jeremiah Grossman in 2005[1]. It's fascinating to read how he discovered it and how quickly Google responded. [1] - http://blog.jeremiahgrossman.com/2006/01&#x

This part was most interesting to me: "Incidentally, when you write a paper, you can expect most reviewers (and readers) to make only one pass over it." I understand reviewers are busy, but we depend on peer review to filter out

Man it looks really cool to use this in an enterprise. It seems like you'd need a lot of support to introduce it into an Enterprise environment. Ramp-up time for learning and it looks like it runs really slow, so you'd need buy-in

You made the point I wanted to make. The problem is Enterprise, not a framework. I'll admit--the Microsoft stack is a walled garden. It offers some nice features like Visual Studio integrating with Visual Studio Team Services with its

Exactly. Even moving data between services in AWS or Azure can become costly if you aren't managing it properly. Moving that data to another cloud provider (images and video) would be a tough sell considering that both AWS and Azure ha
