Growing up in rural Arkansas I never considered raccoons cute or cuddly. The ones you meet out in the forest there are basically nature's version of the ninja. Vile things that will hiss at you and attack animals of any size. It wasn&#

My personal experience is trying to run a food related startup in Oakland. It didn't go so hot, but then again I think we tried to do too much. We tried to make the food, deliver the food, and provide the technology to order the food.

I wouldn't think that a roadster is the correct vehicle for LRR tires. I had them on my 1st gen Insight and they are terrible, terrible things from a performance point of view.

Yep. Use the built in browser methods? For which browser?!? All of them? I have to support some enterprise guys on IE8, sometimes I'm lucky to have them on IE9. Life isn't always a hipster website where people can get lunch delive

I'm going to paraphrase a friend of mine who is a great mobile developer. They could have used AIR on mobile to re-use the AS3 codebase. Alternately, they could have done c++ on cocos2d-x instead of objective c, so that would have been

These guys need to really study the recent information put out from Microsoft about how they make Office for as many platforms as they do. I think a lot could be done to make the core of the game more portable. It's just not being done

Hopefully they take some of that money and try processing payments other than credit cards. I really wanted to use them, but I have old school customers who want to pay me with a physical check sometimes.

Wow, OSX 64bit chrome can't handle that many animated gifs. 32bit could just fine. What gives?!

Dunno, man. I just let my kids be kids.

If you have kids and want decent schools you do what I did. Leave the bay area. I'm up in Yuba City now. Full time work from home bay area job.

I think there has to be an error for that Orinda number. There's no way anything is that cheap in Orinda.

Our friendsgiving was 45 people this year. 3 turkeys, and everyone brought at least a dish. Lots of fun. We did mini pineapple upside-down cakes and somehow the only corn dish, scalloped corn.

Laugh at Notes/Domino all you want. It was ahead of its time. If it had a pretty GUI it would have played out differently.

It's not necessarily top talent. It's young / youngish single people who are willing to kill their bodies with insane hours at the office that most startups are after. Those people are generally in SF, or at least the kind of

It's funny you mention entity framework. That's what blows up tempdb on one of my many environments with some of the stupidest queries I've ever seen hit the server. Maybe your experience with entity is better than mine, but

I have a mechanically adjustable desk from http://multitable.com/ - the hand crank is kind of pleasing. It's not as fancy as the electric motor desks, but then again it doesn't have an electric motor... I'm a

Doesn't this apply directly to the Xbox One as well? "Xbox On" will turn that on.

Yes, it would. In that case you are also punting on the job queue responsibilities and using a third party for both email and queueing jobs. That's not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing - it's just a thing. You'll want

I don't entirely agree with this. I don't use my own mailer currently. I DO, however, use postfix to queue and relay email to rackspace, who actually sends my email. I don't think the API method is appropriate because then yo

This is how you handle it. Billing alarms at the highest priority. I expect mine to fire off around the 20th of each month. I expect the second alarm to never fire.

If he's serious about that stuff, he should look at a minivan. Or here's a wildcard. It's similar to the Aztek, the GMC Envoy XUV. The Aztek gets about 94 cubic ft of cargo room, the XUV is 95.5. You won't find one new,

I was affected by this, but I realized it at the time. I have an older laptop that I turned on. It was a work laptop a few years ago, linked to my dropbox account, etc. Since then I had added a bunch of things like a bunch of git repos to a

I just replaced a SQL view that was performing 24,000 reads with a procedure that performs 45 reads. Yes, it's a little different to use, but overall don't listen to the premature optimization people. I could wait until the data i

Would you buy a car that guaranteed to never break down? Do you not understand how ridiculous a 100% uptime claim is? I don't even consider companies stupid enough to put out a blurb like that.
