This guy better brace himself for internet fame, he's got a full page dating profile on The Guardian. He might never leave Wales but I bet people come to him now.

While it's nice that Dell promotes Linux, they need to greatly improve their support for the products they sell. I bought an XPS with Ubuntu and regret it: persistent wifi issues, erratic power consumption with sleep/suspend, and

Bundling service config and launch makes the whole process easier, for sure. There's also more than one way to configure this depending on what your needs are, so it'd be cool to have a few different versions of SCAR. I started wi

I've seen this more where I'm from, too. Our underwater ecosystem is collapsing. Their world must be like some of our smog-choked, acid rain hellscapes, if not moreso and even more acute.

I agree with you about government action. That said, if you work for a company, rally together with your like-minded coworkers to push for change within your organization. Even small companies can have an outsized impact on both mindshare a

I use a shared host for some personal projects, clients, and friends. Most people I know aren't tech-savvy and want WordPress or small no-frills HTML website and the ability to upload files through FTP. I want email forwarders and mail

Is organizational politics inevitable once you reach a certain size? Any ideas or lessons in avoiding politics in favor of solving problems – short of a mind meld?

I think PG makes a few assumptions in this musing that deserve more though and criticism. Power and charisma together often brew megalomania, and I don't see charisma itself as a powerful person's antidote to being hated. Without

Fix the SFMTA would be a great hackathon project. I'm sure there's more than a few willing and talented people in the city to lend their skills to solving this immediate problem...

I like the post, and the ambitious GitHub repo with a single README made me smile. We're re-discussing an existing idea to see if maybe something sticks or clicks. An idea might be the same, but circumstances change. That said, I agree

How much better this letter would be if it were reframed: we can't ignore the pain, struggle, and despair of the homeless; we need to do more to help – and here's what I plan to do. San Francisco, like many other towns, is a troub

I'm glad someone else picked up on this. I cringed when I read that paragraph. For some interesting perspective on men's issues, take a look at the Men's rights movement. It's ambitious, broad, controversial, and contrad

And for a tiny fraction of $88 million. There's something about throwing such a large amount of money at a project that causes it to bloat into failure.
