I think there's a book by Ashwin Sanghi called the "Rozabal Line" that is on these same ideas. Read it a while back, so I'm not sure. All I can remember is that it was a 3/5, would probably read again.

Fellow NaNoWrimo-er! You should have started this exercise in October. Anyway, here's mine: The current iteration of God and Satan (or whatever fictional supernatural character you choose) BOTH suddenly go AWOL and throw the entire sys

I'm still very much a newbie but your explanation has now left me in a better position than where I was when I first commented. :) A few follow up questions: 1. They could have achieved the same using cookies too, right? How is it diff

Sure, there were 1700 YouTubes before YouTube and yeah, the YouTube we know and use today just happened to make it due to a serendipitous combination of "execution, focus, timing and luck." I have an idea for Twitter that's b

"This website (w3dt.net) is asking to store data on your compute for offline use." Can someone explain to me why they would need that? My instinct tells me that they are trying to circumvent people who delete cookies when the brow

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (both and with and without VMs.) I am a newbie dev who usually uses Heroku to deploy but I also want to know how to go about doing deployments using Chef/Puppet/Fabric and I want to know exactly how to go about do

Not the first time, I must add. When Orkut was all the rage, Google claimed that Orkut would never be merged with the Google core and would remain separate to Google. The same seems tobe happening with YouTube. Sure, they still allow users

This thread along with the wiki article reads like a punster's/stand-up comic's wet dream. Speaking of which, the next stand-up comic to adopt an aptronym (or an inaptronym) stands a great chance of being immortalized on a Wi

Awesome job! A few things immediately jumped out at me: 1. On an average, Fox, seems to be more positive than CNN. Hmm. 2. The headlines were more positive than most {sources/days} on CNN Politics in the second half of 2009. Obama&#x27

The metric given to the client is that of time, but the metric that ends up being measured is (for lack of a better term) "visible product completion", i.e. percentage of product that 'looks' completed. If I read OP righ

TL;DR: I may or may not have contributed to a point on that curve and I am not sure how to feel about it. I began filling out the form on the day the application window was announced. Halfway through, I realized the answers I had to some of

Respectfully disagree. The key phrase in your response is: "all else being equal" When it comes to marketing what you've made, you do get the first-mover advantage but that's about all you get. I've made many a usef

A few years back, when web2.0 was the buzz word and RSS-based mashups were all the rage, I believe a few websites tried offering this service. I don't remember the names of these services now but IIRC, input.io (or something like that)

OT, but I've been seeing the "proud to be a co" thing on a lot of .co websites. I think I saw it on 500.co, last night. Seems like .co is trying to position itself as a premier, aspirational domain.

Allow me to explain the Physics/Chem part of his comment. The education system in India offers a fork-in-the-road twice: 1. Grade 10 - at which point you get to choose the general direction you want to head in (primarily Arts, Science,

Interesting process, especially the emphasis on the 10th class marks - I think I know where you are coming from. However, I'd disagree with you about the top colleges criterion: top colleges don't necessarily produce the best prog

Allow me to disagree with you here. Good people, who are starting out, often undercut their rates to ensure they stay competitive with the plethora of options available to the buyer in the market. Suppose, I value my work at $30 an hour and

Yeah, I've been on the other side of this, working in the trenches. Granted, I wasn't a developer but the situation wasn't any different. The problem is no one asks us how much time it will take. As an (exaggerated) example,

Well, there's also the fact that Indians associate a slightly different (slightly class-ist) experiential value with chain-outlet foods, for a variety of reasons. While most fast food outlets in America are seen as quick and (relativel

I liked what I saw. Sure, it's a bit rough around the edges, but it is a brilliant thing for non-devs to play around with. With a little tinkering sround, I managed to create a simple chatroom app: http://truthful-week-478.a

Well, to be honest with you, I poll feeds with an hourly cronjob. So you may not get the DMs the second they happen, but you'll get them within the hour for sure... :-) Good luck and tell me what you think. Also, any feedback would be

Do SO questions come with their own RSS feeds? If yes, then try using http://twitter.com/updt_me to 'follow' the questions - you'll get a DM whenever there are new answers in the RSS/Atom feed! :) It&#x2

The impostor syndrome is not for my experiences as a developer. It's for a different part of my life. :) Also, I thought it had nothing to do with experience and was strictly about 'internalizing accomplishments' - at least t

I am not much of a TV-person but I like some of the characters and some parts/episodes/scenes of the show. And yeah, while it was a fitting reference, I should have known that I had it coming. :(
