It might be great functionally, but it looks like there's no design or aesthetics at all - kind of like an iphone made with matte plastic and without rounded corners.

No comments on the interiors? It looks more befitting in a prototype than a $36,000+ car.

RIP and condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. RescueTime looks like a product I should've gotten several years ago.

I wish I heard of it earlier from some other news.

This sounds eerily similar to an experience I had. The CEO of a 10 year old company that kept growing in revenue and profits (even during the recession) went from being the most level headed and inspiring person to totally incompetent. He suddenly gave up and stopped coming to the office and and gave the employees a free reign to do what they wanted. Things actually worked but every time we needed his involvement he would show up and just fuck everything up.

After months of declining business he told me privately that the reason for his behavior was because he was burned out but felt everything could be fixed in 6 months. I didn't stay to find out and quit immediately. 6 months later those who remained ended up working 3 months without pay and found themselves out of a job while the CEO declared bankruptcy. Towards the end I heard he got more erratic and started blaming the employees, the board and everyone but himself for his situation.

It still baffles me how someone who seemed like he could turn anything to gold and had such good judgement could suddenly lose everything and become so hopeless because of burnout. Over a year later he still hasn't recovered and is being sued by several people.

Since you're an engineer - I'd say tell the board (verbally) what you think and put in a notice of resignation. If they change things for the better they might ask you to reconsider your resignation. If they take offense and side with the CEO - you're better off quitting anyway.

It seems to be a common mindset among python developers. You often hear the reason you can't have something in Python is because it's theoretically impossible, impractical and too difficult - but then it happens in another language. I was convinced that dynamic languages would always be slow (see https://wiki.python.org/moin/Why%20is%20Python%20slower%20th...) but then Google gave us V8.

The tool doesn't look like it's meant to be run within a cloud. Instances in a VPC without internet access would have only private IP addresses within the CIDR range of the subnet in which they are launched.

It's to find out which cloud a public IP address belongs to, for which the public data source/whois lookup seems the only option.

PS: the metadata (in case of AWS) can be accessed only within the instance itself.

Wouldn't deploying cloudfoundry to AWS GovCloud accomplish the same thing? (Sorry, if the question seems too ignorant)

Bootcamps have become more about cash and I know quite a few that are in trouble financially. Though they've gotten postive reviews lately it seems they will eventually be viewed in the same vein as Online degrees.

You forgot the iphone SE, it's much worse for the Apple watch and Macbooks.

Even if the customer doesn't demand it, you should have your own standards for quality and performance and never compromise on them when it comes to your deliverables.

You're actually harming your business if you choose to do shitty work for small bucks and good work for big bucks. If you take your standards very seriously it improves the capabilities of your team and let's you take on more lucrative contracts.

And developers don't like to work for free.

Oddly enough, the highest earning developers I know don't think like that.

I like this comment and I'd add one more thing:

Yes developers your developer-time is the most precious thing in the universe but please consider your user's time and their computing resources as well.

A lot of people are evaluating too much based on the ideas, rather than the background of the founders and whether that background gives them the experience to execute the idea.

I don't want to accuse you of backpeddaling, but your point would have been more clear if you had said "overlooking the background" instead of "rather than the background"

Teams are important, but recent events have shown that we've been giving teams with bad ideas more credit than they deserve because of their credentials or alma matter. Maybe YCF will help someone with a great idea build a great team :)

Another possibility in contested elections is party members tracking down opposing voters with a comprehensive list of who to threaten/kill and where to find them.

If you're talking only about the certificate: No.

Put the skills you learned in your resume or start working on projects which demonstrates those skills. List out the courses you completed under the 'Trainings' section of the resume and Mention MOOCs under your hobbies (If you have such a section a resume).

I was very interested in MOOCs (ai-class was awesome!) but unfortunately most of them seem to have gone the 'pay XX to get this certificate you can to print out!' route to make money.

The fact that you're interested in MOOCs says many positive things about you and shows that you're interested in learning and improving your skill-set, and at this point in time, I would be very surprised if anyone gave two shits about the certificate, because who the hell lies about taking a MOOC?

And in the case of coursera - many of the courses are actually poor quality. Udacity and Edx (especially EdX) seem to take quality much more seriously.

Wow, out for only a few hours and they're not pulling any punches with the criticism and suggestions in the comments.

Maybe in a few months we'll end up with one damn fine app.

On a sidenote, one obviously bad thing is the overuse of referral URLs and tracking redirects for every link.

The levels are fun but if you're job hunting and that's your primary objective, there are better places to hunt.

When you feel you need a sabbatical : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXsQAXx_ao0

Sorry, but why are you (actually looks like a lot of people) congratulating someone going on a sabbatical?

Good luck jl. Hope you come back refreshed with new ideas.

Was hoping to find some sabbatical stories in the comments. I was working 12 hours a day with no weekends and felt trapped in a state of urgency and like I was missing out on things. Took a 3 month sabbatical and it changed everything!

Sometimes you don't notice that you could have done things better or differently until you take a step back. I'm about to pass out and wish I could've written more.

@dang I'm sorry for this. Please understand I was inebriated when I posted this comment, but I will always appreciate your work and if you ban me for the following comment, I understand.

-------------------------------------------------

syste - I love you man. You are an amazing CEO. Your company does great work and has a great product. I always become so happy when I see you actively responding to the comments here. You are a role model CEO.

Something so many companies overlook is actually listening to their users and taking their feedback seriously. I love you man, if you wrote an autobiography I would buy it. Congratulations to you and your team.

Holy shit. That's some of the most egregiously racist things I've seen and I'm not white! No business from me, ever!

Elaboration : I feel like apologising for the knee jerk reaction. A tweet I would forgive, but that corporate slide in a corporation that aggressively claims to be social, inclusive, community etc. is simply terrible hypocrisy.

But anyway I checked with my PM and my team uses self hosted gitlab and the decision was purely technical :)

Bouncing emails back and forth isn't the best.

Seems to work just fine for the linux kernel.

So sensational it's embarrassing.

Also, over what distance were they able to achieve 57Gbps? I can't access the original paper.

maybe a hundred times over---PARC spent a few million but the laser printer pulled in a few billion

Difference being Xerox made billions after spending a few million on research. Alphabet/Google on the other hand have poured in billions into what are now called their 'Other Bets' over the past two years and despite what impact they've made the revenues have been dismal and growth was stagnant last year.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned roller coaster tycoon. 99% of the game was written by one man in x86 assembly and it ran beautifully.

For me, several years ago when the ISP technician finally setup my modem after spending hours doing do, the first site I visited in my life was www.yahoo.com :)

AWS is alright though: http://status.aws.amazon.com/

If she has a software patent, it could mean she understands how the system works, you wouldn't hire a lawyer who doesn't have a title, on the other hand, one that has written a law would appear more knowledgeable.

You're being too considerate. It's not like hiring a lawyer who's written a law or has a title. It's like saying a lawyer needs to commit a crime to be a better lawyer.

Good riddance. Everything about her has been a disaster. From her single edit history to her statement that she was afraid to address the community.

She even has her name on a damn SOFTWARE PATENT. What were they thinking when they put her in charge?

Well, his account is 1937 days older than yours.
