I kid, a baseline grid is the least of his worries.
I really enjoy these designs.

I see the Sony and Toshiba labels and they still throw me. I'd really like to see Microsoft step up their game in hardware. I know they all come from the same factories, but there's something about the simplicity of and the lack of another brand on Apple's products that make them so gorgeous to me.
Is the meta-leaning here that you should not hire programmers in the Bay Area, until you can pay $120-200K + stock for experienced guys, and 80-90K for top college grads?

Maybe that sets a hard target when you know to grow your start-up to the third developer, when bootstrapping. Can you pay someone 100-200k per year? Time to grow.
You'd think that tiki-taka relies on unattainable levels of coordination and high training between players, but it's not that simple. Barcelona's believed in a high-possession, fluid mentality since Johan Cruyff, but their tactic and style under Frank Rijkaard was far more flashy and flair-driven than Guardiola's patient, possession-driving short-passing game.

It also turns out that a high-possession short passing style is within the grasp of many teams. Look at Swansea in the Premier League this past season.

And it oversimplifies things to say that England is all kick-and-rush and continental Europe is more focused on possession. For one, some English clubs have favored possession for decades, including Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. For another, counterattacking, as opposed to patient, possession-driven build up play, is very popular in Italy. If you saw much of Italy before the final, they did appear to "hoof it up to the big striker"--but really, they were making pinpoint passes down the length of the field right as Balotelli broke the onside trap. And the teams that do beat Barcelona, continental and otherwise, seem to do so by abandoning possession and "parking the bus"--Jose Mourinho's Inter would even clear the ball as soon as they managed to win it as to hold their defensive shape, rather than try to make attacking moves and be drawn out of position so they were vulnerable to Barcelona's attack.
I'm confused if this is sarcasm or not. I'd like to believe sarcasm, but if it's not, then could you explain why they would ever drop 32 bit support outright? Perhaps on new versions, but are there not problems that come with 64 bit installs and 32 bit drivers? I would assume that much of the scientific/technical drivers, not to mention old printer drivers, would not get updated and therefore be unusable. However I could be completely wrong, so I'd like some more information on this. Thanks.
Try not worry about how you stack up in absolute terms, and think more in terms of relative accomplishments. It helps me when I have these thoughts too.
Well, why not organize one over there? It doesn't have to start a big, just find 2 other HNers who can meet on a Friday night, set the location and then announce it on your blog/HN/meetup.com.
It will be interesting to see more details on how these bridges or threads (I'll avoid calling them portals) affect the magnetosphere, particularly if they are hidden. Are they responsible for previously unexpected behavior in the magnetosphere? Are they a navigation hazard for high orbiting craft?

On the other hand, the video and article seem to be reaching for views and the narration is terrible.
Does Felicia Day matter, games journalist tweets. The answer is yes
I believe that the top trait in A players is the same as in the top founders, which is determination [1]. That determination often manifests itself as the desire to understand how something really works, rather than glossing over the details, the drive to learn a new language well enough to use it to implement ideas, to take on the learning curve for a new tool or system, to automate something, or to test their code before releasing it into the wild.

I've seen less-than-enthusiastic programmers who release shoddy work, expend more effort moving work onto other's plates that they'd expend just doing it themselves, let bad ideas stand without a fight, and never bother to keep up with changes in technology.

I've also seen very smart developers who've constantly been taken in by the latest shiny new thing to cross their path, think that testing is for the weak, and have no real determination to get something up and running completely.

If I have to be honest, I would describe very few of the developers I've worked with as "dumb".
But many of them are either too passive [2], or lack the determination or desire to really compete a project.

One thing I've done to grow is to not try very hard to gloss over the details. Software is supposed to abstract away details, but it's too easy to think "I'll never learn that." or "Who cares what's under the covers? It just works." Understanding the subtleties isn't just an intellectual pursuit. Knowing the internals of a system allows a developer to know the limitations and strengths of a system, so it can be built upon or even repaired and improved.

I constantly am in disagreement with those who say "what problem does this solve?".

Many, if not most, start-ups don't solve real world problems, and I'd argue that those with the most opportunity capitalize on a consumers want vs. need.

We can start at the top, Twitter, Facebook (contrary to what the article says), Skype, Angry Birds, Little Wings, Pintrest, etc. did not solve a problem.
They created something that people wanted.

Basecamp, MailChimp, SalesForce solved problems. You don't have to solve a problem to have a business.
Does it warm your heart that key signing parties still happen about twice each year at Caltech?
No. For one, that was said 10 or 15 years ago and things change. Second, talented engineers (like everyone) value a variety of things other than money. Finally, other competencies are becoming as important or more so than raw engineering for a lot of companies.

Fake it 'til you make it. Throw yourself at problems that you think are over your head. If you care and you want to do good work you'll figure out a way to get something done. Especially if you have a good mentor or someone that can guide you to answers to hard questions or take you under their wing.

Learn to effectively communicate and then communicate with your peers. You'll never know what you don't know unless you discover it (and there are only so many hours in a day), or you learn from other people. And you'll have an easier time trying to articulate your visions when you can communicate them effectively.

Don't worry about how good other people are. In fact, it's good to surround yourself with people that are more talented than you are, because it's easier to learn from them. Try to surround yourself with people smarter than you are. This is a lot easier if you contribute heavily to OSS or work in a product-focused group or company. It's pretty easy to let your skill set stagnate if your primary responsibilities are writing internal-use-only software.
So what do B and C developers do?

I can confirm IBM uses an evaluation technique that is modeled off the stack technique. All employees have a band for their job. Rank employees by performance per band. Then assign raises/promos based on performance relative to band.

I can assure you that this description of the system doesn't begin to describe the hilarity involved. Any system where you have people proud to be ignorant of what their subordinates doing then being tasked to do meaningful evaluations is nonsensical in my mind. I guess its a 'growing pain' ... like how a heart attack is a growing pain.
You wouldn't miss Xavi, but I'd say it would be a lot easier to miss Busquets. His style of play doesn't get as much attention, because he does very little, but what little he does has the biggest impact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijDdpNxPyPU

You can't. What you should do is acknowledge that fact.
I think it depends on what you're trying to achieve. For example if you're trying to pull off the iPhone in one year with 5 guys, it makes sense to spend time finding the best guys.

You can also try to find 15-20 decent guys, but there are benefits to smaller teams — lower communication cost, a potential compounding effect when smart people work together, etc…
You made his point again. In the golden Microsoft years, Exchange, SQL, SMS, etc all sucked. Really sucked. But you needed to take your medicine (aka buy the Windows platform), because the oxygen was snuffed out from the alternatives.

Today, the tools are keeping folks on the platform. That's dangerous to Microsoft's well being.
not sure why that would be happening. will take a look into the problem.

Yes its especially true for non-white backgrounds. It all has to do with contrast. With black on white we have 100% contrast, if we use dark gray on light gray the contrast becomes say 70%. The lighter the contrast the easier it is on the eyes. Here's a quick example of what it looks like.

Rolling back to an old revision in Mercurial (like git reset)
I think it has something to do with what Steve Jobs identified - monopolistic companies don't value product folks, thus they end up getting run by sales and marketing people, and the company rots from within.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2011/11/19/peggy-no...

“The company does a great job, innovates and becomes a monopoly or close to it in some field, and then the quality of the product becomes less important. The company starts valuing the great salesman, because they’re the ones who can move the needle on revenues.”
This sentence is true. True or false?

I took two classes by George Boolos at MIT. They were a lot of fun, and Prof. Boolos was a rather strange fellow.

The Department of Linguistics and Philosophy has a memorial display case filled with some of Boolos's favorite puzzles. You should check it out if you're in the area.
Try marijuana. No, really. I know "A" types who do, and I'm looked at as being "A" by my peers. I'm far more creative than any of my co-workers and my contributions frequently put us far ahead of the competition. I'm prolific and focused on writing code. Give me some music I like, some of California's best herb, and as many LCDs as I can fit on a desk and I deliver results day after day after day. I know it doesn't work for everyone though. Smoking is optional when you can get it in a cookie or a pill or 100 other ways. But seriously, if you are feeling like a B or a C and you think you have a passion for code but aren't as creative as you could be, you may want to expand your mind a bit. It worked for Steve Jobs after all.
I went through more or less all of the comments out here and many of them say that the effort is great but it's not implementable.

I really don't understand what makes you say that, many of the people have given out points like:
* typefaces suck
* 'moonshot' ain't nice
* the slate doesn't mean much

To be frank I am quite amazed by the point I put above. I have been following minimallyminimal's blog for quite some time now and his work is really amazing. And specifically this rebranding effort carries a lot of meaning and shows the dedication he put in. He has taken so many cases to showcase the usage of the 'slate' logo.

As for me, I love the slate logo a lot. He is able to make different combinations by transforming the original base unit and created logos for other products. I feel that it adds more value to the logo because of it's flexibility and fluidity. The old logo couldn't be transformed in any manner to generate logos of their other products.

--

And the worst part of all this discussion here is that it went astray at so many places.
But, if Microsoft had this logo in the Windows 7 products, no one would have said a thing then. We just accept what the company is offering. When someone put in his time in doing a rebranding, I guess we better appreciate it and put in relevant points. Pouring in crap like 'the design is poor' doesn't do any good to anyone.
I assume he means something like the Surface Pro? I don't think we'll see anything like that from Apple until the weight issues are resolved. The MS Surface Pro is 2 pounds. The original iPad at 1.5 pounds was pushing the limits of what most people found acceptable for a device you might hold for a long period of time. Even the small weight difference between the 2nd and 3rd generation iPads is noticeable. Now add more than half a pound to that weight and you're holding a boat anchor. Microsoft seems to think that perhaps a device like the Surface Pro is a better value than two separate devices. I can't see how that would be true. You end up with half a laptop and a tablet too heavy to actually use as a tablet. Two devices cost more but are actually a better value because they can both be very good devices.
Sure but the reality is that there will always be B and C people, and sorry if it sounds harsh, but some people will never achieve A status. Someone's going to have to give them something productive to do.
I believe Tim Cook has already stated very clearly to the press that Apple will NOT be making any laptop/tablet hybrid. At this point a change of direction seems unlikely.
Can't say I like the company, it's good that a lot of their files are legitimate but they really didn't care about pirated files in the slightest. One of my friends ran a company selling physical software and hired outside help to find and serve DMCA notices to sites hosting cracked full versions of the software. Megaupload generally complied with the notices but every single time the file was taken down it was put up again a few days later (the exact same file with the exact same file size). They could have implemented even a very basic md5 check to stop this from happening but they chose not to because they knew it would bring more profits if they didn't.
My life would be twice as tedious if I took that advice. And if mine is the harshest criticism that young writer comes across today, them he should consider himself a fortunate soul.

Here is the remark sans ad hominem: Twitter is not a skill. Remove it from your resume because it undermines any authority you might have as a writer.

Additionally, the piece is rhetoric. It is perfectly acceptable to question the character of the speaker when that is a mode being appealed to.
Hundreds of times? 100 points in an NBA game is about 50 times on average--you miss 1 out of 2 free throws about as often as you get a three point play, probably. 10 runs is high for a baseball game. 50 points in an NFL game is about ten scoring opportunities, if you figure five touchdowns and five field goals. And yet statistics are meaningful for all of these games, just as they are for soccer.
I found the About page very useful for understanding the use case. I recommend putting the search feature that's on the About page on your home page as well.

Also, why is the ability to Add a role on the home page in the list of example roles? Perhaps if it was called Request it would make more sense.

The Browse section is for individual skills versus roles. It seems that having it centered on Roles makes more sense. At least have the option to browse Roles without following them.

I don't know. I imagine it's like this: you want a tablet for lounging on your couch and watching movies or browsing the internet; you want a light laptop for doing actual work at Starbucks or your local library. You could get an iPad and an MBA, or you could just get a Surface and have both in one.

So it's not really some new capability--rather, it's a single device that can do the job of two. Not only is this more cheaper but it is also more convenient: you don't have to sync your files between devices or keep track of two different computers (with different operating systems, at that!); you can just use your single Windows computer for both tasks.

I think the slightly odd design of Windows 8 is actually very conducive to this: for lounging around, you have Metro and for actual work you have the classic desktop. I could certainly see people currently on Windows liking that.

Now, I don't know if the Surface actually fulfills that role in practice, but that's what I imagine the idea to be.

I also suspect that this isn't aimed at Apple customers at all--the person getting the iPad and MBA would still get them out of brand loyalty. Rather, this is aimed at your stalwart Windows user who is considering getting an iPad but isn't crazy about Apple and wouldn't want to switch to OS X.

On a completely unrelated note, I would love to get one and run Linux. Unfortunately, it seems there is going to be a lot of useless nonsense around secure boot that would make this difficult (at least for the ARM version). But I think this is the perfect device to play around with the new KDE touch interface.
The entertainment industry an ticket scalpers have a very healthy symbiotic relationship. Industry gets to sell tickets at fan-friendly prices and rich people get to go to the shows they want to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And I have no problem with this experiment.
The US penny: Should it be scrapped?
I'm skeptical about this catching on, but I hope something replaces GDP. It's used everywhere, and treated as gospel by the media and politicians, but it's absolutely terrible.

Consider the broken window fallacy. It's Econ 101 that you don't gain anything by breaking a window just to create work for the glazer, window installer, etc. Yet, if I went around breaking all the windows in my neighborhood, GDP would increase! This is actually a pervasive problem with the measure. Consider polluting activities. A coal plant that creates tremendous air pollution contributes doubly to GDP. First, the activity itself contributes to GDP. Second, the health damage created by the pollution creates work for doctors, etc, which also contributes to GDP! If you replaced the coal plant with a wind power plant that cost the same, but didn't create any health damage, GDP would actually go down, even though it's quite obvious that the economy is better served by the latter.

The degree of reverence with which the media and political system treats GDP is completely ridiculous given how stupid the measure really is.

At this point you're getting a little overgeneral, I think. One of Steve Jobs' A players was undoubtedly Bill Atkinson, but what he lacked in business knowledge, he more than made up for in technical skills. If you're an A player working in one of Intel or Microsoft's compilers teams, you win based on deep technical knowledge, not understanding the "greater context of the organisation".

Just for the record, I'm not downvoting you (only have 200 karma points, can't downvote) and disagree that you need to be downvoted.

The CCP is not sensitive to real public opinion since they censor/hide/or simply ignore facts. They are very much vested in shaping opinion, of course, but they care nothing about honest opinions. Consider that they don't even want to perform scientific polls (or have them performed by third parties), since they don't care about the results and would find them embarrassing regardless.

That China is the bad guy has nothing to do with them being non-demecratic, and everything to do with just being overtly dishonest about world truth. If the CCP tomorrow started being honest about everything, good and bad, we would see them in a much more sympathetic light even as we contined to disagree with them and bad things continued to happen (we want clarity, not perfection). But the CCP contines to see face as being much more important to their continued existence than truth, and so I doubt this will end very soon.
