My takeaway was that he doesn't want to be in the crossfire in the ads war. I can imagine that being very stressful and unpleasant with lots of hate mail etc. Especially if you compare it to an app like Overcast that brings joy to ever

Neat project! Last christmas in SF I wanted to create a "winter vibe" as we were celebrating with the family, and I was looking for videos showing cozy snowfall and winter landscapes. It was surprisingly hard to find something rea

That is certainly one source for error. There are many. Another is that testing does not give you exhaustive coverage of the state space just because each branch of the code is visited. The standard does mention "formal verification&#x

HEADS UP TO IOS DEVS: You may want to update your iPhone to iOS 8.2. You'll need to download the new XCode to deploy the app after that but it's not possible at the moment due to STATUS_CODE_ERROR.

I used it pretty much daily in Sweden back in the 80s and 90s to check news, broadcasting schedule, weather, etc. There were a few hundred "pages" and each page had a 3 digit number that you'd punch in to retrieve it.

During my 14 years in Silicon Valley I haven't met any successful founders that I'd characterize as mean. Lots of them have come across as sociopathic and ruthlessly egoistic, but that's something different. They've made

I wonder if Boosted Boards has tried putting the propulsion system on a regular skate deck instead of a longboard. Looking at the powered truck design it seems it should be doable. It seems the market would be bigger since most skaters don&

It might be better to include a parachute above the rotors. The Cirrus SR22 single engine aircraft has this (their system's called CAPS.) It lets you sail to the ground in the event of some catastrophic failure preventing you from land

No matter how high taxes are, if you let people in a first world country work with whatever they want, you're not going to end up with university educated professionals in a shoe sweat shop. If they work in a sweatshop in Sweden, it wi

The way I think about economic systems is - Level of business regulation. From left wing Marx style central production control to pure capitalism. - Level of redistribution of wealth. From high taxation with redistribution of wealth and str

I grew up in Sweden and I second that. Stockholm imo is literally paradise on earth three months per year, especially the archipelagos. I've never seen a place like it, unbelievably beautiful, people are so full of life, you can wear a

I'm Swedish and I emigrated first from Sweden to France and then France to the US. I can't speak about going the other way, but having done this twice I think it takes a long time to make _real_ friends with locals almost anywhere

I went to the best physics program in Sweden. It was pretty amazing and at something like $50 per year essentially free. In addition, the government provided ~$300 per month in assistance plus a low interest ~$900 loan. Any good policy or f

Yeah, Jobs did the same thing. There are plenty of people that feel they want to get that psychological tumor out of their lives after being fired and I think it's understandable even if it's not entirely rational in all cases. I&

I guess the only consequence being resentment from the people close to you, and missed opportunities to develop deep lasting relationships.

As a Swede I can honestly say that for all intents and purposes Sweden, Norway and Denmark are all the same and we love each other.

Thanks for sharing your structure! My feeling is that it's maybe more important which states and principles one has and that everyone understands them than whether they reside in one or four projects. Personally, I think it's a bi

Author here: I agree Kanban boards have benefits. I've helped other people implement the system I described in Trello as well. Personally, I think it's harder to get an overview of what's going on in Trello - especially on a

This description made me laugh. Yes, clearly there's >>10x difference between a useless programmer and an amazing one - I've always thought of a "10x programmer" as one that is 10x more valuable than one that is me

This resonated with me. If the programming tasks are somewhat mechanical/procedural, I am not sure that an exceptional engineer can create 10x as much value as a quite good one. I've never seen it. What I've seen several time

My understanding is that one of the reasons that relays are still used for many these systems is that the latency for going into a safe state is very low, and that they are easier to verify than so called solid-state interlocking systems. A
