Not to shamelessly plug a YC-funded startup, but with regard to source control, I've found Dropbox ( https://www.dropbox.com/ ) a good solution. Granted, it's more GUI-inclined than SVN, Git, et al. I've read there are CLI interfaces with i

What? I'm not affiliated with 1001 rules for my unborn son.

It'll drive you miserable and grouchy if you think of them as petty annoyances. Thinking of them as opportunities for improvement is more healthy.

This is a great example of how the comments on HN are often more useful than the articles themselves. Thanks, everyone.

My current resume: http://evanmeagher.net/resume.pdf Bear in mind that I'm a student and it's targeted toward internship opportunities.

Poor 1001 Rules for My Unborn Son . 406 updates and all I got was this lousy book deal. http://rulesformyunbornson.tumblr.com/

That's a valid argument. If your blog post had mentioned anything nearly as reasonable as what you just typed, this comment thread wouldn't be here.

A bit of an overreaction, I'd say.

I'm not sure you can mimic pg's ability to inspire, even in a theatrical setting. That being said, I'm sure it's an enjoyable show, for those who know who he is.

I got a 502 also, but it seems to actually create the accounts. Try logging in with the credentials you entered.

Asimov's Nemesis doesn't really have anything to do with the topic of this article.

That's odd. It runs just fine for me on Snow Leopard. I still miss Gnome Do + Docky on Linux, though. It's the one instance where an open source Linux app outdoes anything UX- and design-wise on OS X.

That's quite a comprehensive list. Cool to see Screenr on there in addition to Screenflow. Have you tried Google Quick Search Box? ( http://code.google.com/p/qsb-mac/ ) It does all the same things as Quicksilver, but has always seemed snapp

More of an interesting anecdote than evidence of a trend. Between name-dropping Seth Godin and mentioning how he eschewed football, this comes off as a linkbait appeal to the internet design crowd.

Good point. Luddite is the wrong word. I meant to say that there should be some minimum assumed level of expertise of your target market. "Intuitive" is often synonymous with "familiar," and an interface should be able to make some assump

What they should have said was, "Press down the key marked CTRL. While holding it down, press the B key. Now release these keys and press the key marked RETURN." I understand the "where's the 'any key'?" argument, but we shouldn't all be

This article is a good in conjunction with last week's "I Was Told I Was Very Smart." http://theferrett.livejournal.com/1346357.html An interesting trend in those labeled remarkably intelligent is a tendency toward stymied feeling of self

I can say the same for the University of Washington. A lot of my peers don't know or care much about real-world development, but those of us who realize its importance seek out jobs, research, and internships to fill in the gaps.

I'm in a similar situation, as I'm trying to decide whether or not to minor in statistics on top of computer engineering. From a hacker's perspective, I've found that playing around with the language R is the best way to relate to the field

Comparing caffeine content in tea vs coffee is a tricky argument to make. The caffeine content in tea varies on many factors, including oxidation level, steep time, and leaf agitation. On average, the amount of theine/caffeine in a cup of t

I don't think they could have made it look more like Last.fm.

Read the comments, but don’t believe them Love that one. A grad student friend I work with, whenever he catches me poring over documentation, always tells me to read the code. Such a seemingly simple tip, but so valuable.

Agreed. He's basically been the face of modern web design from the beginning. Even his emotionally-charged posts contain valuable bits of wisdom.

That's for sure. He recently divorced his wife and lost custody of his child. It's a lot of painful stuff to deal with and it's very much bleeding into his web presence.

Perhaps we can help make the conclusion of 3001: The Final Odyssey a reality?

Cool idea. What's their specific target market? Frequent craigslisters? Drug dealers? I'm a little wary of a point of sale system that could be so easily grabbed and stolen.
