Do you work out or do physical exercise of some sort? For me, that was/is the key to good sleep.

Writing is a highly underrated skill. Start practicing how to write effectively, to be succinct and precise.

Reading helps in more ways than you might imagine - voraciously read.

Build many things. They don't need to be large, they don't need to be fancy.

Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand. Story of human grit and survival in the Pacific WWII theater that I hadn't heard of before. I was blown away by the story, and about what I learned about the War that I didn't already know.

Creativity Inc. Re-read it this year, re-inspired.

The Outsider - Stephen King. Well written, engrossing but a typical Stephen King novel

Shoe Dog - Phil Knight. Story of Nike. Phenomenal.

Bad blood - John Carreyrou. Story of Theranos. Absolutely crazy read.

7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy - Hamilton Helmer. Good insights on strategy

Not currently, unfortunately. The complexity of how the Dropbox client works is enough to not pollute libdropbox with at this time. The idea here is correct though - were we to rebuild it at this time, we would look at potentially abstracting a lot things into a libdropbox-like library

The ultimate fallback always is to revert to letting user sign in manually. Installation success doesn't depend on cookies, so that should be just fine.

Ever sat backwards on a train? Or first class in a plane? It doesn't matter if you're not driving.

I'm late to the party - where is part 1? Tldr?

This isn't new, is it? Why is it here?

Older developers get garbage collected

UberX is essentially Lyft. Do you know if the driver involved was an UberX driver or a professional driver? His car make/model seems to indicate UberX.

What if the cause for the accident was that the driver was responding to a 'ride available' text from Uber? It's not a bad argument to say that Uber requires that drivers pay attention to their cell phone when not in an active ride, hence they should be liable when the driver is able to respond to pick up requests (ie, is looking to do a pickup)

Way to not apologize or really 'fix' the issue. For all users who don't opt out (which they don't say will be default) this vulnerability will still exist and be exploitable. They'll just make it (somewhat) harder.

Wait, where did you read that poor people vote republican? I would've guessed otherwise.

'On average, Google takes about 45 days to hire.'

That's a ridiculously long time to keep a candidate waiting.

It's easy to judge, isn't it? It takes some courage to be honest and introspective, regardless of how you may judge the poster. What you say about this person says as much about you as it does about them.

I think you misunderstand what csrf is. Here it is in layman terms http://crazyviraj.blogspot.com/2009/10/xsrfcsrf-attacks-in-n...

There's opportunity here. Exec, Über, Lyft etc get rid of tipping for cleaning, taxis and I love it. I am happy to know total cost upfront. Matter of time before this is extended to food service.

Unless it's BRK.A ;)

You don't see the sarcasm there?

'Whatever. Fucking Apple.'

As a developer, I find myself saying that more often than I would like. Glad this isn't just a developer thing that Apple does - it seems like a consistent part of their DNA.

This is how doctors in India (and a lot of other countries) work, and it's super efficient. His prices feel very competitive to me. I would carry a high-deductible insurance plan for catastrophes but this would otherwise be a great option.

More doctors need to follow this lead.

Your attitude speaks for itself too.

Make new friends? Meet new people? Learn new things? Rather presumptuous to assume that just because 'your friends' won't be there, those who will aren't going to be 'as good' for an arbitrary definition of good.

A mobile developer with iOS skills makes 65k in San Jose but 90k+ in all the little cities around it. Something must really suck about San Jose. ;)

Practically though, this exposes their underlying data source. Averaging across limite data sources can suck sometimes.

Thanks. Most media sites have Open Graph tags - I wonder why Twitter didn't just reuse those. I understand they're from a competitor but they are somewhat standard. All these proprietary tags add unnecessary overhead to developers and bloat to pages. Sigh!

So what are they doing, technically, that makes it hard for the twitter app to display an image inline? That URL just points to an image, so I'm not sure what broke here.

As a legal immigrant who has been in the country for 12 years and still waiting for a green card, I'm willing to accept that the administration will reject this bill if and only if it makes good on its promise for comprehensive reform. I also oppose the idea of cannibalizing the diversity visas - that seems to go against the spirit of the foundation of America's origins.
