... Most people getting work done are typically on a Maker schedule. People scheduling and benefiting from the meetings are typically on a Manager schedule. This article can help those on a Manager schedule understand why large blocks of work time should be reserved for those doing the work. Managers need to strive to make meetings short, sweet and at the beginning or end of a day and concentrated on a specific day. Those are very specific items that can improve the Maker's productivity. The Manager should be protecting Makers from meetings, not subjecting them to meetings and this article makes that clear.
> you are calling all the game industry studios that specialize in platforms, porting and tooling, a practice that goes all the way back to the industry roots, jerks.

How exactly did you read that into my words? I said those who force people to do double work are jerks. I.e. those who create and enforce lock-in (MS and their ilk). Why would developers who have no option but to do that double work be jerks? It wasn't their decision and they have no control over those who create those walled gardens and lock-in.

Practice of lock-in doesn't go to "industry roots". It goes to those jerks who don't care about the industry and want to make life harder for developers by making tooling useless outside given walled gardens. Their selfish and stupid idea is based on assumption that the harder and more costly it is for anyone to do the work (because of duplication), the less likely they'll do it, thus sticking only to the walled garden they initially focused on. I.e. their usual exclusivity idea. Remember browser lock-in? Same idea here. It has nothing to do with the industry - it's all about jerkiness of those who make the tools and control the market.

Extremely well put. I was going to say it shows humans as not heroes or villains but hypocrites, from the point of view of an amused god -- like Feynman once said of being put up in a super-fancy hotel with gold trimmings in the bathroom, as if something grand and marvelous took place there.

Enigma|http://enigma.io/| New York, NY

The volume of data created by governments and businesses is growing exponentially. Organizations struggle just to store it all, let alone make sense of it. Enigma helps organizations and individuals fuse, organize, and explore data to make smarter decisions.​​

At Enigma, we started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come.
After winning TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in '13, we have since grown into a Series B Startup, and we're growing quickly!

Currently hiring Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers and more.

Basecamp | REMOTE | INTERN

Basecamp is hiring programming, design, marketing, operations, and data interns for summer 2016.

Interns at Basecamp work on real projects and are mentored one-on-one by a member of our team who will guide you throughout your time at Basecamp. The projects you'll work on as an intern at Basecamp are all derived from real problems we face as a business, and we expect you'll have a meaningful impact during your time here. You'll leave Basecamp with new technical, creative, and business skills and having accomplished something significant.

Internships at Basecamp are remote -- you can work from anywhere you want, provided there's some overlap in time zones with your assigned mentor. We'll fly you to Chicago once or twice during the summer to get together with your mentor and the rest of the intern class, and you'll talk regularly with your mentor via phone, Skype, or Google Hangouts. You'll also participate in some of our dozens of Campfire chat rooms every day.

All internships are paid and require a commitment of 8-12 weeks of full time work between May and August 2016 (we're flexible on start/end dates, planned vacations, etc.).

Learn more and apply via https://basecamp.com/internships. Apply by Wednesday, February 24th.

If you have any questions, you can email me directly at noah@basecamp.com.
This is (still) a stupidly reckless approach to "addressing" the supply chain counterfeit problem.

One of these days they're going to brick a pacemaker and kill someone. You have to be a special kind of delusional to think that the courts are going to care about your "good intentions" when you knowingly release a driver like this.

And "pacemaker" is really a placeholder for any system that could end up affecting safety of life, regardless of whether it was intentionally designed to. How many of these FTDI chips do you suppose are on a 747? An elevator controller? A fire suppression system? A one-off alarm system at a power plant? A nuclear power plant? How many hoops do you have to jump through before you start to leave your comfort zone? Not many...

A single lawsuit from a bad enough accident could end the company in one fell swoop. This should be a much bigger existential concern for FTDI than any amount of potential IP theft. If I were their general council, I would be looking for the vigilante engineer to sumarily fire, and put in place mechanisms to ensure that this never happens in the future.
As someone that has been running a free API for coming up to 5 years now, I really don't think you handled the shut down very well.

I understand you were offering a free service, but nowhere on your site did you ever mention it was an "experiment" and that you might shut it down at any time. If that was the goal, I think it's only fair to give your potential users notice. Is it a smart idea to build anything on a free service? No, but this services as a prime example of why not to. I think we need to be a bit more responsible with how we handle these shut downs. If you have a heavily used (180 million requests per day!), free, public service, you should really plan around slowly decommissioning it, rather than a two weeks heads up before an abrupt hard shutdown.

I feel for the guys who had to come up with a quick patch for the set top boxes. They most likely had nothing to do with implementing your API, but now there are thousands of customers who's set top boxes are crashing because you were unwilling to work something out with them. It's not your fault, but it's not their customers fault either. In this case, minimal work on your part would have given them the chance to patch and push a firmware update out. I'm not sure what really happened, but from what you wrote it didn't sound like you really gave them any options, which seems pretty irresponsible.
Cypress also has a bunch of USB UART chips, with comparable ones being about half the price of their FTDI equivalents.

...But wayland can't replace X. As I understand it, wayland is linux specific, and so saying X will die is saying that no other unix needs graphics.

As for what's wrong with systemd: Where to start! Journald is the root of all evil, it puts way to much stuff in to pid 1, the developers want dbus in the kernel (which is an awful, awful, awful idea), and the project is encouraging higher level software, that has to business being system dependent, link to a library that is linux-only by design. And that's only to tip of the iceburg. Its default's animostiy, its design is an atrocity, the implementation a catastrophe, the only question left to ask is: Where did they go RIGHT?

Do you honestly believe the success of web applications is merely an accident and not a reflection of how much better they fit our world?

Admittedly, many of the benefits of the web, like storage in the cloud and online collaboration, could be replicated with traditional installable applications, but they mostly weren't. And, the lack of "installation" is a big deal. Many people are utterly helpless with computers and would be terrified of installing everything...and maybe should be. Viruses and malware have proven very difficult to defeat in installable applications, while on the web the risk of poor security is usually concentrated on the developer (or the company the developer works for) rather than the consumer.

Further, low bandwidth is a reason to use web apps over installables in a lot of cases, and not the other way around as you suggest. Downloading Office on a slow/expensive link would be horrible. Using Google Docs, not so bad. I work on slow internet most of the time (I travel full-time, and use 3G/4G internet, sometimes with weak connectivity and expensive data); I save my "ooh, I want to download this new game/app" moments for when I'm somewhere with free/fast wifi. But, I still do lots of work on the web, and I don't find GMail/Inbox problematic at all on this slow link. Of course "no Internet" is different from "slow/expensive" Internet, but without Internet, you're limited to packaged software purchased at brick and mortar stores, which is not a very wise target market for developers making new stuff, in the general case.
I think the MatHem hack is pretty neat, why would anyone be offended by it?

One thing that irks me about libre office is its hacky VBA support. I would think that they would try to support it where I could open an excel file and have the VBA code run the same in both platforms. But a lot of the time it crashes even with that VBA support tag at the top.

If they could provide full support for that I could see a lot of my customers switching to Libre Office for their reports and business tools which in turn would let me switch to it as well.

I think I am similar to you, I find two pairs of walls a big help.
Correct, it's Handel's Sarabande.
The appeal of physical labor? People only do physical labor because they are either unlucky or simply lack the knowledge to choose another path. I don't expect that to be the popular perspective on "PC" hacker news but that is the real world for you. Show me a gardener who wouldn't want to make 6 figures instead of breaking their back day in and day out for close to if not minimum wage? Appeal? Yeah right.
I love it. My job is full of interesting challenges and the things I do really matter to the business. My ideas are thoughtfully considered. There is something to learn from everyone on the team. I feel like the company cares about its employees and there is a lot of room for growth, both personally and for the business. There are occasionally tedious things we have to do, but they at least have clear reasons that they need to happen -- it isn't just bullshit being handed down by management.

But it wasn't always that way -- my last job wasn't very challenging and it felt like I was just a cog in a giant machine (which, I was). It was pretty soul crushing despite being a "good" job. I felt bad about hating it so much, because compared to most people's jobs it was still much, much better in every aspect.
Not sure what you mean by that, it's nothing like server side templates. Server side templates work by string interpolation, like older JavaScript templating languages (Mustache, for example).
