Don't use webfonts? Lame but effective.

I've used it to bolt file storage on a REST API for enterprise stuff. It seems to be a good fit. I'm even using the Windows WebDAV implementation... working around its quirks is madness: http://www.greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webdav-redirec

It's common in engineering. I like it because it makes matching parenthesis much easier.

Exactly, I'd love more interactivity but you can pry my plain text source files from my cold dead hands. The smalltalk environment was way too magical and too easy to mess up when I tried it.

Why the dislike? It's not a bad protocol.

Alright, I was just wondering if you had experienced the origin of pixel art.

Honest question: how old are you?

Scraping a website is absurdly easy. You can have the data before you'd have finished writing the email.

If you're going to use them a lot you're cheaper off using consumer grade computers with the most expensive intel processors available. What I usually do is take the Passmark CPU list, add $500 for the cost of the rest of the system and sor

Oh, they really have an API for everything. That's awesome. Now... I wonder if there are companies in China that have an API to order a pallet of stuff?

Google hosting stuff on Github and not on Google Code? Is that because of the easier forking? Is this the first sign of Google abandoning its own open source project hosting?

I don't get much mail, but I usually respond to them at once and then leave them in my inbox forever. If I need to take action at a later time I usually still respond, and then write it on my paper todo list. I've got some filters for maili

I actually like old and ancient. That means all bugs have been fixed already. Systems become complex quickly enough and you need to use the most boring bricks imaginable if you want to build something sturdy.

I think we agree?

Well... I would like to disagree on your opinion about cleaning up prostitution. Over here in the Netherlands it seems to work just fine. If person A pays person B for doing intimate stuff that doesn't really harm anyone.

The Segway... is back! Cool product!

by DoubleCluster 14y ago
You've got a nice site but I think the product is not useful enough. You've got to install those bulbs and any enterprise I've been in uses fluorescent lights and not the classic fittings. I couldn't even use those in my home. If you want a

In my experience it's quite doable (with a good IDE) to refactor the working but messy code into something maintainable. It might take the same amount of time as a rewrite but you'll still have all the features and corner cases covered. Usu

That's fine. Did the code become easier to maintain? It's not clear from the article. The "The good" section is relatively weak and the "The not-so-good" has some painful points about memory management and api instability. It sounds a bit l

It's great that Amazon keeps innovating. Or are they just using the tools from Netflix?

You really can't be a good developer on rules of thumb. The best code just does the minimum it needs to do (YAGNI) but still has the necessary abstractions for for easy extensibility in the future. It's a fine line to walk on.

For a second I was hoping for 18+ features. That might actually get some people on Google+.
