diestl··on I Had a Stroke at 33
Not sure what this has got to do with programming?
diestl··on A brand new Foursquare, with a brand new logo and look
How are Foursquare still going? Most useless app ever.
diestl··on Show HN: Mowbly – Open source enterprise mobile SDK
You shouldn't really call it cross platform when it only supports iOS and Android.
diestl··on Waffle.io
I have a rule, if I can't understand what your start-up is about from your home page then it won't work.
diestl··on Apple, Google to pay $324 million to settle conspiracy lawsuit
They are the antithesis of what I believe a technology company should be. Everything is closed source, locked down and designed to make maximum profit at the expense of the customer/developer/artist.
diestl··on Apple, Google to pay $324 million to settle conspiracy lawsuit
This will leave a bad taste in the mouth around these companies. Apple really sound like a disgusting corporation when you look behind their well orchestrated PR image.
diestl··on Drop Dropbox
I just switched to Google Drive, it's cheaper as well.
diestl··on Mt. Gox Files for Bankruptcy Protection
A currency is only as good as it's exchanges, AFAIK Mtgok was the biggest and most trusted, for me this is a death blow to bitcoin.
diestl··on Mt. Gox Files for Bankruptcy Protection
Anyone stupid enough to invest a significant portion of their net worth in a nascent currency like BitCoin only have themselves to blame, high risk.
diestl··on Show HN: I redesigned the Microsoft employee badge
This is a real company man, holy crap!, spending your own time redesigning the your employers badge is really quite sad.

Microsoft is known for hiring young gullible people and indoctrinating them with the idea that MS is a good company rather than the reason the software industry was held back for decades, using illegal tactics. If it could have killed open source it would have.

diestl··on Web server for Linux written in amd64 assembly
Why would you do this, write it in C and let the compiler do the hard work.
diestl··on Today my startup failed
Startup delusion is the new gold rush, the only ones making money are those selling the dream. As soon as I see someone using startup buzzwords like runway, pivot etc I see a sucker who is has stars in their eyes.
diestl··on OpenBSD will shut down if we do not have the funding to keep the lights on
I wonder if this is a case of OS Darwinism. The fact that it seems to be hanging on by a thread shows most companies are using and contributing to Linux. I have never used OpenBSD so not sure what it overs over Linux as a Unix implementation?
