Of course you aren't going to have access to outstanding bandwidth, but I've used it for business purposes for years. Whether or not you would want to use it for business depends on a number of factors, but I don't think you can flat-out say it isn't realistic for any business.

I've personally never had issues with my ISP blocking it, but I read accounts from time to time (in this thread for instance) where people had issues with ToS enforcement. You'll have to evaluate your own situation, or just give it a shot until they explicitly react.

But you are right about email- it's a pain. Most likely you will have a bad time trying to get something authentic-looking working with a home ISP. Even doing it on a legit VPS is fairly complex.
The only thing those machines had was direct execution of what you can consider Lisp bytecode and direct support for data types tagging, which could optimize code execution.

But general purpose processors proved to be fast enough for executing code generated by Lisp compilers, hence one of the reasons such machines did not succeed.

Same was tried with Pascal and Java, but it is not worth it.

You don't need a Lisp machine to do system programming in Lisp. All you need is compilation to native code and a set of primitives for low level hardware access.
My hacker friend convinced me to switch to Mac. It's a great host OS to run your virtual machines. (And fun to explore something different.)
Thanks for mentioning it. Intercom is in there, kind of crammed into the "support" category. I'll definitely add Customer.io and create a dedicated category.

Ultimately, this wasn't meant to be an exhaustive list. It's just a quick list from some very superficial collecting of URLs. There's still a lot of work to do for the book before the list is complete.

Good for you. I'm neither in the Bay Area nor a Rails developer, but I really wish I could find work like that.
The key word is coordination. Unfortunately to some it means making a list and making sure every one knows what to do. Here's the goal, here's what you need to do, "make it so."

In reality, coordination takes place in the face of constant change. Goals are critical, but purpose and trust are primary. When we know WHY we're doing work, and we trust the people we're working with, then coordination becomes two explicit acts. It is distribution of responsibility as widely as possible, and assignment of the right authority to carry out the responsibility.

If you trust the people you're coordinating with, then what and how they meet their responsibility doesn't matter. You can rely on their individual creativity/talent. When change happens, everyone has enough authority to adjust to the change in their own area of responsibility. If you don't know WHY and you don't trust the people you're coordinating with, then slave-labour tactics and task lists will be required, which means the effort is very likely to fail anyway.

The fact that they offer the same API does not make them a clone and a recent ruling between Oracle and Google would even suggest it's not a copyright issue. Theres also an exception in the DMCA that allows reverse engineering for purposes of interoperability (IANAL).

I definitely agree with the YMMV bit; I have found this category of tools to be incredibly divisive. I know a lot of folks who thought that going in the opposite direction of yours, Jira to Pivotal, was one of the best decisions they've made for a project.

I've only ever casually used Jira, however, so am ill qualified to speak to its strengths.

It's an admirable attitude to have but sadly only in theory. In practice there's sadly far too much crackpottery on the Internet. That's absolutely fine if the only people reading it are experts who can judge it for themselves, but often that isn't the case. If you are an expert then I agree; don't dismiss something out of hand because it isn't peer reviewed! but if you're one of those people, you don't need to be told that.

To illustrate my point, consider the hoards of climate change deniers, or young earthers out there. To someone who doesn't study the climate or geology, their arguments might sound valid but are actually dangerously misleading. Physics crackpottery is a slightly more intellectual version of that, in that the subject matter isn't accessible to most, but it's no less dangerous. And there's so much of it. So, so much. Some physics bloggers have all but given up the will having battled these people for so long. They're like the conspiracy theorists of the science world. So I feel like it's not unreasonable for a layman to dismiss things out of hand until it's been properly peer reviewed.

We should all be wary of argument to authority, but perhaps less so to argument to experience and mutual respect.
This is just a No True Scotsman argument. You've been given at least a dozen examples but none of them are "dominating" enough for you.

Frankly, I needed to read your blog post for a "situation" I'm currently in, so your embarrassment is not in vain :)
I'm glad you brought this up. Trust is a big thing in the workplace. Take cross-department coordination for example. You're supposed to trust that another department will deliver what they promised so your project can succeed. I've been in situations where the manager did not trust the other department to deliver. So it was required that we implement our own solution "just in case".

How domains became backwards
Nice post. I'll take revenue and profitability over media hype and "it" status any day of the week. It's kind of shocking how many early stage companies have absolutely no plan for revenue/profit, and point to outliers like Facebook and Twitter as their playbook for success. There are meaningless debates about 10 millions users being the new 1 million (http://www.businessinsider.com/10-million-users-is-not-the-n...). To me, it is just indicative of a pervasive sickness in early stage tech. Remember, it doesn't matter how many users you have unless you can monetize them.

This was a nice intro to vim, showing the concepts fast. I was just wondering about the match braces commands. I propose that you show off the yank registers, and the @ macro function as well, along with the marks. Another great command is q: and q/. Another area is movement with marks, and filtering, maybe filtering isn't that easy to implement in your tutorial.

It would also be nice if SSHd had an option to block an IP address after a certain number of failed attempts. Sure, you can hack something together with iptables but that's just horrible.

Again, you're confusing DRM with access to the private keys. Any time you say you can't publicly specify how DRM works, you are either speaking in ignorance or trying to deceive, both of which help the pro-DRM PR campaign.

If we can't get Hollywood to accept reality, we would at least be better off with the open W3C proposal (you did read it, right?) rather than continuing to entrench a massive proprietary plugin.
This neatly illustrates another problem with redesigning popular software: no matter how much time you spend, no matter how beautiful you make the design, the people who're already using it are used to its current layout, and don't care about learning a new interface.

If you could give people a completely fresh, unprejudiced choice between Gnome 2 & 3, Windows 7 & 8, or Firefox 3.5 & 18, I bet many of them would choose the newer version. I don't think (most of) these UI decisions are objectively bad, and over the long run they might even pay off. But when the user upgrades and suddenly can't see how to make it Frobnicate, they get angry.

When we humans see things clustered together in a multidimensional configuration space we often try to draw borders between the clusters and give them names.

To use a computer analogy, we divide laptops into clusters like 'netbook', 'budget laptop', 'desktop replacement', 'ultrabook', 'gaming laptop' and so on - based on their position in the screen size-performance-cost-weight configuration space.

These aren't clear-cut lines, there are border cases and people's opinions vary - but we can still tell an Eee PC from a Alienware from a Macbook Pro!

Genericization happens all the time. Many brands throughout modern history have fallen into similar patterns[0] (capitalization sometimes, but not always, survives). Where I grew up in Mississippi, many people would refer to soft drinks as "[Cc]oke" which led to interesting excerpts such as "What kind of coke do you want? We have Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper...".

While I'm not sure if you can argue 'no protection' while at the same time admitting that the number of attacks was greatly reduced for a while: I always hated that advice with a passion.

No, do not run SSH on a non-default port. It's nothing but an obscurity hack, does little good and breaks a lot of workflows (routers that prioritize port 22 as interactive traffic, firewalls that explicitly allow ssh - on port 22 of course, tools that are awkward to use as soon as you need to use a different port than the _standard_ one).

I admit that I mocked people recommending that practice in the past. That's childish of course, but if the data of this submission is correct I can now add a more serious 'Please do not do that' argument to my list.

You would think I would take that too but apparently I'm an idiot and got caught up in useless crap. We make marketing software for big brands so all our "users" are monetized because well ummm that is our business model. Enterprise is great that way! No one gets the product for free!

It might help to think of the Hollywood model. The pretty young men they put out front are the actors and you are the writer. It's been noted before many times that writers don't get much respect, but they are the geniuses who come up with the narrative, the dialog, and the ideas that make up a successful production. Writers usually don't show off well to investors or at parties. That's where the pretty faces come in. I'm usually dismissive of the next young genius on the cover, because I'm more interested in the real brains behind the outfit, who may or may not be marginally social-able introvert living in an eco-bunker somewhere who definitely does not want the attention.

I love Pivotal. While I haven't used Jira, I've gotten the feeling that other members of my team have used it in the past, and don't like it at all. On another note, Siebel time tracking is a pit of hell.
As far as 'where the money goes', I can't speak for everyone but in my case I have asked myself this question a number of times and I think the answer is pretty simple.

Firstly, I have more past-times than I did when I was broke. This is partly because I can afford to, and partly because I have more time. (When I was broke, I was a busy student)

Secondly, I no longer stop and think as much about goods quality. When I had no money, it made sense to spend ridiculous amounts of time carefully selecting goods to maximize "bang-for-buck". Now that my time is more valuable, I will more often opt for the best quality item.

The same carries over to food as well. Not a foodie, but eating healthy is simply more expensive than ramen.
My basic issue with the up button is the way you describe it conflates it with the back button, while the two should be considered different things (even though in many cases they will do the same thing). I blame Google more than anyone for this as they themselves conflate the issue mightily by, for example, styling the "up button" so it looks exactly like a back button.
I think were it comes from is this: Ask yourself what your target audience is for your projects. Where will your code run later on? Is it going to be a Mac or possibly some UNIX/Linux server?

Your problem is going to be that you won't be able to have a development environment close enough to production as needed to test properly.

I don't have a problem with the building. I do have a problem if somebody starts to preach.
Part of the problem is that the more successful businesses in the traditional sense (revenue, etc) are run by people who, as a whole, are more humble. There are plenty of successful business owners here and elsewhere who feel no need to stroke their ego or fight for mindshare in the glamour of silicon valley.

>As I've argued elsewhere, obscuring your login service via non-standard ports or even a requirement to try several ports in sequence really only buys you security equivalent to lengthening your password by two characters per port. After all, TCP and UDP port numbers are limited to 65536 distinct values, within the scope of a 16-bit value. Moving your service to a non-standard port means that the would-be intruder has to guess a two-byte value. Introducing a sequence of ports buys you the added obscurity of two bytes per port.

It needs to be pointed out that it is actually worse than that. Guessing a password is O(2^n) on the length of the password. Making the attacker guess a random m bit value before starting to guess passwords is O(2^m + 2^n). To put numbers behind this, a password with 32 bits of entropy has ~4 billion possible combinations, 16 bits of random port + 32 bits of password has 65536 + ~4 billion possible combinations (also known as ~4 billion), while a 34 bit password would have ~16 billion possible combinations.
NPR talked about this the other week. It hasn't quite 100% independently gotten to where it is without major label help. They hired a Warner Bros owned marketing company to help with distribution once they were relatively big enough in the Pacific NW, and then signed to a major to get them on the radio to get where they are now.

So they've gotten further on their own than they would have in years past which is a good thing.
