For incompatibilities there would/will quickly rise frameworks that abstract you from them.

So if I were to sum it up (talking about the local business part), the problem consists of: - Fragmented and competitive market due to low barriers to entry - High-maintenance, low-yield customers Thank you for your reply and the food for t

Why do you think that anything "local" in general is a money/energy drain?

Avoid writing naive setters and getters And let clients manipulate the class properties directly. After all encapsulation is overrated. Best use only global variables. Don't copy variables for no reason Forget about the distinction betw

Regarding comments, I really liked a technique Martin Fowler talked about in Refactoring. Whenever he feels the need to comment, he extracts the commented block into a new method and gives it a name that explains the purpose - instead of th

I second the recommendation of Mrs. Dweck's texts. Her book "Self-Theories..." changed my life. Or at least reinforced the changes I was undergoing then: The right strategy and appropriate effort are much more important than results.

Negotiating can be learned and trained, it's nothing innate and static. This book helped me learn something about it; despite its name. http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Power-Negotiating-Inside-Negot...

I found HN this year and it changed my life. I try to spread the message further with my own means. Thanks to all of you!

I want to deliberately look for people like you. How do I tell it's you? The skilled but modest/unsociable/shy/... programmer.

Tangentially: In the real life, friends rarely go through the formal notion of "accepting the other as a friend" (aka send/accept friend requests). Friends are those who I talk to gladly and often. Simple as that.

What you're talking about is a problem of the political culture (that takes centuries to establish) and of the legitimacy of the core institutions and of the political system (democracy). I don't see how a revolution instead of a peaceful t

This article is just a conversation starter. What career path does your company offer to engineers? If you're an engineer/developer/programmer, what career path should a dream company offer? Are the technical skills wasted if the engineers

How would you handle the mixed content e.g. on a secure forum where some content sent by the users contains non-secure elements like images?

Thank you for the tip on the Mindset. I enjoyed Self-Theories so much I will definitely pick this one up, even if just to reinforce the point she makes.

That's actually more true than it sounds. Just a week ago I read Self-Theories by Carol Dweck where she sums up the 30 years of her research. Summary: People who hold entity theory about their traits (ie they believe their traits - like int

Hi, I just checked Readwarp out and have absolutely no clue what it does. If it's some kind of personal, learning newsfeed I'd be definitely interested in it but without a clear proposition I can't be bothered to dive in deeply (you know, r

In this context I'd like to quote Peter Norvig talking directly here on HN just a few days ago (in this case about Lisp vs Python): In terms of programming-in-the-large, at Google and elsewhere, I think that language choice is not as impor

Absolutely fascinating, agree. So just by talking on other ports they use the NoSQL or SQL approach, depending on whether they are doing primary-key-reads or more complicated joins. And the best part - they released the plugin to the public

Either you are passionate and keen on learning or not. I don't believe the mentioned coworkers wear one mask at work and another at home.

Shouldn't you have a ticket system/todo-list/... for the whole team? As for the last paragraph - whether they understand your mission or not depends IMO again largely on yourself.

Instead of creating easily warezable infoproducts, create scalable services. For an example see how Aaron Wall turned his SEO Book into a platform (forum, tools).

Hi Joshua, thank you for chiming in. Can you estimate how much users/visitors you lost due to the complicated domain name?
