The Effective Executive. My company did not prepare me very well for being a team lead.


Is it April 1st again?


Yes, there is in the United States. Oddly enough there are no such laws in Canada.


I'm in Vancouver, BC and the Dual+ can handle any hill here


Sounds good, although I have something of a weight problem as well and so I bet it would struggle with me. Maybe this can be the reward I promise myself if I manage to actually lose weight. Thanks!



Good work! That happened way faster than I expected


I wonder if they know their logo is also the Ionic logo?


Shit, really?

<Googles>

Huh. I just banged this out in ten minutes when I needed an icon for autocomplete. I'll change it.


I feel like it's not/shouldn't be possible to copyright/trademark/etc an element/element's atomic structure unless it's man made.


Regardless of whether that's the case, it's probably best to avoid having a logo that looks very similar to another, if only to avoid confusion.

That said, the atomic structure isn't the concern but rather a specific artistic visualization of it which may be protected.


But the copyright (if there is one in this case) isn't on the element, it's on the specific visual interpretation of it for branding purposes.


I still feel like that's basically "copyrighting"/or otherwise the atomic structure of the element...


A filled circle with a ring round it that has an intersecting filled circle is not an accurate representation of how a hydrogen atom looks. It is an artistic simplification. There are any number of ways of interpreting it.


And also Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen, slightly rotated.


Slow is smooth and smooth is fast


Infinite upvote. A French word for fast is 'vite', from Latin visitus meaning to see; slow -> see -> fast.


I'm putting this on my wall over my desk.


Festina lente.


Inflammatory piece of junk is putting it nicely


Anyone else getting this error? "Coupon 'turkey' doesn't apply to anything in your cart." I have "1x The Pragmatic Programmer (eBook) - Andrew Hunt and David Thomas" in my cart.


If you're at the stage in your career where this is a good book, then this is A Good Book, coupon or not.

Just sayin'.


Purchased!

Kudos to PragProg for putting this collection together, I'm a huge fan. Likewise, my book's on sale as well, as a loving ode to Turkey! For those applying to YC, the book's based on conversations I've had with startup founders here on Hacker News. Ice Cream Startups: How to pick your best idea and run with it. http://bit.ly/TTWUqz


Purchased your book. Looks like an interesting read for when I have nighttime coding breaks, thanks for the sale!


Hey! Thank you! Really appreciate it, put a lot of effort in to writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. If you have any questions, feedback, comments, or even wanna bounce ideas off me, and have me play devil's advocate, I'd be more than happy to do so.


I agree 100%. I was just confused and the coupon terms were not in an obvious place, to me.


If you see $10 on the street, won't you pick it up?


Yes, if it's there. The coupon wasn't there for this book, and I was just encouraging the purchase regardless. One of my favorite reads.


Ah, I didn't realize the coupon was only for some books. Valid reasoning, then.


According to the site:

  The coupon is valid for the entire contents of an order
  (excluding books we do not publish such as The Pragmatic 
  Programmer and a handful of other titles) but does not
  affect shipping costs.


worked fine for me, I picked out 4 titles I've had on my reading list for a while.
