Johan Lieu, maker of products. This There is no inevitability to history and you have to work to make it better. I recall all this now simply to rebut the entire line of being “on the right side of history.” History does not have such straight lines. Movements do not move relentlessly forward; progress comes and, just as swiftly, goes. For many years, it felt like one step forward, two steps back. History is a miasma of contingency, and courage, and conviction, and chance. And lover of all things.

Johan Lieu, maker of products. People losing their jobs is not cause for celebration or gloating. This week Microsoft announced plans to cut almost 8,000 jobs, mostly associated with Microsoft’s smartphone division. Some in the tech press took no time at all to exclaim that Microsoft’s smartphone ambitions were dead, and I saw more than one roundup of “Microsoft’s greatest failures.”. 7,800 jobs is nothing to joke about iMore.

Johan Lieu, maker of products. Not to mention that at least the other two advantages at least made the game more interesting to watch. Segregation, if anything, made the game less interesting for fans out of mere spite. My main line? If you’re going to get indignant about steroids — something that unambiguously made the game more interesting — at least have the decency to be just as indignant about letting those segregated records stand un-asterisked. And lover of all things. And Dinner Party Smarty.

Johan Lieu, maker of products. BBC: The strange fate of a person falling into a black hole. Link: http:/ www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150525-a-black-hole-would-clone-you. So the laws of physics require that you be both outside the black hole in a pile of ashes and inside the black hole alive and well. Last but not least, there’s a third law of physics that says information can’t be cloned. You have to be in two places, but there can only be one copy of you. And lover of all things.

Johan Lieu, maker of products. Don’t Rewrite Code From Scratch, Ever. With the release of Yosemite 10.10.4 today and the refreshing rollback. Of Discoveryd to mDNSresponder, I felt it was an appropriate time to dust off one of my favorite articles ever, Joel Spolsky’s seminal post on Things You Should Never Do. And the lessons we can all learn in the tech world. Notably, never rewrite code from scratch. Or, more pointedly in his words:. They decided to rewrite the code from scratch. Find me on Facebook.
