Just an observation - seems much cooler nowadays to talk about how you rejected the offer from Google to do XYZ other cool thing, or how you worked there for a bit and then were like, yeah, it's nice being at everyone else's dream company, but I got better things to do.
Interesting how it's become a nice way to humblebrag.
I guess I'm digging myself in a hole here since apparently my opinion isn't very popular. But I just wanted to explain why I said what I did, based on a moment of reflection:
- Founder allegations: sounds like they already came to the conclusion that TPW wasn't acting appropriately, so I'm not sure what the fact that it happened before adds to that.
- Engineer allegations: this is about people other than TPW.
- Github's working environment: Maybe Severini could have added some dishing on TPW, in particular (but not necessarily the company). But given the non-disparagement agreement and the fact that her feelings are apparently general knowledge, was another interview with her really necessary?
As @waterlesscloud says above, I'm wondering, "Is anyone disputing the activities of the Preston-Werners at this point?" The fact that it's happened before is relevant if you want to dish more on TPW's character or the fact that GH made a mistake, both of which have already been done. Adding more at this point is almost sensationalist.
This is great and all, but it's something that happened in the past and was settled, so I'm not sure how relevant it was in this case in particular. I think you're blurring a past mistake (this should have raised flags from the beginning) with the current events.
Um, the point isn't about photo quality in the comparison. I have to agree that it's confusing, but actually they're trying to highlight the fact that their phone has a wider viewing angle. (If you look, their picture includes more people.)
Interesting - I just made something exactly like this (screenshot looks exactly the same): https://github.com/billyeh/termchat! I even had to publish a Node package to do it (pixelr).
Except it's got a chat function with other users as well :)
This is some pretty amazing code, actually. An MVC in 400 lines? Awesome. I could learn from this for days, lack of semicolons and one-line loops notwithstanding.
This is great, and I'd love using it. What's the (if any) connection with WebRTC? And PPSPP is a pretty unfortunate choice of acronym... A Google search only unearths something about emulating a PlayStation Portable.
If you think about it, it's amazing what we're valuing at billions of dollars these days. Twitter, $4 billion? That's for a lot of lines of code, and, sure, some server infrastructure, etc. that will be obsolete in the next few years. The same goes for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, almost any Silicon Valley startup we can name. Just a bunch of lines of code, not really solving any problems. But it makes money, and that's what people care about.
It's incredible to me that an amazing service like this, solving real problems would fail while stupid (let's be honest and call them what they really are) social media startups are prospering all over the place. It's quite sad.
I was looking forward to a mathematical proof of how symmetrical cases can be solved, but I was surprised to find that they basically brute-forced it with a computer. I'd learned about how much controversy that approach generated with the Four Color Theorem, but I'm impressed with how much proofs have moved forward since then.
