To state your comment more effectively, you should have said, "My current partner would make a most excellent boat anchor." As albertcardona mentioned, it's always best to remain positive when you're in a leadership position.

There is no inherent morality to the copyright monopoly as it is not a natural right. It was created foremost as a mutually beneficial arrangement between the Crown and publishers to ensure certain subjects were not published in exchange fo

If society declines to acknowledge the limited monopoly granted, why is it immoral for an individual within that society to also ignore the monopoly?

YC auto-scribds PDFs, there was an Ask YC poll about it last week. I guess the result was to leave it the way it was. The problem with your link wasn't that it was to scribd, but that scribd couldn't import it as a PDF.

You're right. Unfortunately, due to the distributed nature of open-source application development, making that sort of shallow usability integral to the whole system is very difficult. Until there exists an incentive for open-source develop

Lack of usability for novices and intermediate users should not be considered a bug unless ease of use for novices and intermediate users was a planned or expected function of the software. If an author writes software for experts, one shou

Sure, but I don't know that I'd characterize the lack of tool-tip bubbles as a show-stopping bug.

Every hour spent developing these features is an hour not-spent developing real features that differentiate your application from its competitors. Besides, if the features are so easy to implement, surely you have a patch ready for submissi

If they had added two additional widgets, that UI wouldn't be that bad. Collapse the top, and collapse the bottom, and it's pretty much exactly what you'd want in a task tracking system.

I see. His example is meaningful only in a language that does not provide a convention for handling missing methods in the composed class. For instance, in ruby, I can distill your example to: class Parent def a; ... end def b; ...

I disagree. Microsoft presented an offer, Yahoo! rejected it outright. After being rebuffed, it is incumbent upon Microsoft to either inquire about more amenable terms (to Yahoo!), or to withdraw their pretense of negotiation and go to the

It is likely I'm misunderstanding, but why would you use inheritance instead of composition in your example?

Fewer Digg users might result in a higher quality digg, because the community is more tightly-knit.

It does make sense for Microsoft to deprecate continued development of C, when one considers their push toward .NET and getting various languages implemented on it.
