In addition to crappy mounted volumes, Docker for Mac eats up CPU like crazy: https://forums.docker.com/t/com-docker-hyperkit-up-cpu-to-34...

And, also like the mounted voluems issue, despite this being on of the top things on the forum, it's still been a problem for like 8 months with no attention.

It seems like every time a serial entrepreneur or founder writes something about starting a business there's a surprisingly high number of people that think "How dare they fund their company with cash!"

Bootstraping is using your own personal assets to pull up your business yes?

I will be honest. I use ghost as my blogging platform for about a year, and in comparison to wordpress... it just doesn't hold up. Everything from stuff as big as upgrading, mid range as plugins, and even simple things like spell check were overlooked (at least in the version I have). It kind of reminds me of the Pepsi Vs. Coke test. Went to it for that initial appeal of simplicity.. and now am very dissatisfied due to how much its lacking.

Aside from the usual flame of whether or not to go to college, this is HIGHLY impressive in design and function. It's also an amazing idea.

Good job OP!

Okay so I think I'm missing something -

This new model favors mentorship (adhoc and scheduled) but for the most part, self-education. And, as mentioned in the article, graduation rates are kind of variable due to the lack of physical accountability (lectures, fellow students, etc).

But. It's self-education. The way I'm interpreting this is a new, viable way for Universities to increase profit margins by accepting more students and delegating more of the core offering ("learning") to other students, while saving costs on traditional overhead (facilities, professors) AND increasing sales outreach (online).

Now don't get me wrong, self-education and finding your own way in learning is the key to real, personal potential. And honestly, this is really the only way a student can succeed in college anyway. However, encouraging institutions to scale back even more on what most already view as a secondary function (Yes, most view research as their primary) seems wrong.

Now if the cost of these acquired degrees we're to plummet I'd understand it a bit more. But I highly doubt the big name institutions will ever do this.

I don't know, maybe I missed something, after all it was a long article and I have to get back to my kickass programming gig ... which is a skill I learned via self-education and experience. (Yes I went to college for economics and marketing. No I haven't used it at all professionally.)

I'll make the opinion purely from a self-interested developer standpoint:

I'd rather push the web forward and have it at least stay "somewhat" close to native (no it'll never be better) and constantly learn new features... rather than:

.... have it lag behind native even more and thus create even more pressure on myself, my company, and my career to adopt, learn, and build native alongside web.

If you want to win over someone from an opinion... the last thing you do is tell them that their wrong.

Apparently I have no clue what full stack means. I thought it was being able to manage front-end, back-end, and (maybe) devops code.

After this, I think it's a reference to a new type of Medium post whereby an author stacks full the post with Tweets.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. I love icomoon. It makes bringing in vectors from illustrator 0 hassle. Sure there are a few nuances here and there, but like you said, it's free.

OHHH! That makes SO much more sense. Okay, yeah you guys should clarify that, that's a huge selling point. Thanks for the response.

So the blog post on connect says "Managed Accounts" are available to anywhere that stripe is supported. However, on the docs, it says that it can only be used in the US and Canada. Which one is it?

Of course the varying measures are out there, but the most powerful ones are the ones which get press time (and generally only the most favorable looking ones do)

I was just discussing this with someone the other night. I got the first iPad and for the first 2 years, I was a junkie for new apps. Little pieces of software that specialize in 1 thing? GREAT!

Nowdays though, even with the newest iPad, I barely use it for anything beyond browsing, video, and books. I know they keep pushing it to be a tool, but when I want to do real work, I go to my computer.

You know you play too much Destiny when...

But seriously. It's so difficult to realize how much of a game changer a great package manager can be. I've never tried Haskell, but is this really THAT much of a problem? I hear so much praise and worship about Haskell...

This update is insane! Great job Meteor team!

Holy crap man, this is almost the exact same boat I'm in (except I'm 26) and I feel the exact same way.

I find my biggest problem is a lack energy / motivation to start that next thing. I really have no clue where the fuck it came from... a few years ago I could work endlessly...

This is really cool! does mess up the history though. Every URL gets saved to history.

People that go to college likely put more value on their degree to in order to defend the fact that they haven't wasted their time.

People that didn't go to college likely put more value on not going to college in order to defend the fact that they don't have a degree.

Anecdotal of course. But college will increase your chances of success due to the connections you make. It will not, however, by any chance in freezing hell, guarantee it.

Yeah, /r/startups is totally not a jobs place. It's like a watered down HN. With more trolls.

Sublime Text 2 + Vim mode + Markdown Plugin is amazing. It's like iA Writer except with VIM and all the fun Sublime Texyness.

So, just in my opinion and in my experience. The more I work with clientele who are successful, the more I find that....

...the more successful they've been, the more detached from reality they are. Because they've been so successful, who's to argue with their view point in life? They must be right.

Again, just in my opinion and experience.

As time moves forward, I find advice from the older entrepreneurs more and more irrelevant. NOT because it's bad advice, NOT because it's with ill intention, but simply because their situation, experience, and background is completely different from my own. So different, that I fear if I followed it, it'd have the opposite effect.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

Upvote because of the part about email. Email forces the communicator to focus their damn thoughts and not spew on for hours. It's courteous and time saving if done right.

Angular can be confusing, but the speed of development you can achieve with it has helped give me back many hours of my life.

Cool. Just curious, will "FreeStyle" ever become something that Cocoa (non iOS) apps will be able to use? :D

Huh? I've written quite a few large scale angular apps...and I haven't written a bunch of code to do any of that. If you have something that needs to be checked outside of angular, it belongs in a directive.

I'm trying to also include a Git workflow here too. I figure, the more realistic I make the process, the more useful it will be?

Ahh... That last part makes sense. This is what I was trying to get around to. If you only have a handful of designers and developers, you shouldn't be focusing on min/maxing your landing page. It's not that this is a "myth", it just doesn't make sense for a new team to worry about it vs product development.

I'm not claiming this to be truth or anything. Just in my experience. Bringing up a/b testing to my clients or teams just results in a "we have better things to do."

(I suppose being the head at a co. that does this would make it biased on at least some level).

I'm not really sure what you mean by this? In my experience redesigns occur when new features are added, major updates, or changes to the team (whom chime that something should change). Yes likely everyone will redesign at some point, but to do so just for a test?

Based on this article, only larger changes should be done by smaller startups. But smaller startups have less resources to throw at larger changes. I mean, what of we're not planning on redesigning our web page?

It's funny, but I've noticed that all of my clients in this space are just outright opposed to a/b testing. Most don't even bother to leverage analytics at all. I think more than anything they see the level of effort to ROI ratio too high.

For example, a startup not testing small changes right? Well unfortunately, an entire landing page makeover, while not overly difficult can windup taking a great deal of time. The redesign alone is just such an "opinionated" process (even by people who know nothing about design...) that throwing that much investment just to test is hard to justify. So even though most startups shouldn't waste time on stuff like button colors...that's often the only thing they'd have time for.

Of course I'm talking about the smaller scrappy startups. Not the ones backed by prolific amounts of capital.

Don't get me wrong. This is a GREAT article, I just would like to know the best level of effort for ab testing for the smaller guys.
