I'll be honest, I don't get what your site is about. I refreshed the page a few times and got some sentences that barely made any sense, were not specifically funny or insightful. I think I understand the idea (like a Chuck Norris jokes sit

At first, I was surprised to see Apple in that list since they tend to do things their way. But it's true that they've used the iPod connector for ages and that it's been very nice to be able to use any iPod cables laying around to charge p

Is the bubble very widespread though? Facebook is the darling right now and news like these remind of bubbles, but are there many other startups that receive such a treatment right now? Granted I wasn't there and wasn't following when it ha

I'd be interested in reading an explanation of that bug from Apple once it's fixed. Y2K had some valid reasons behind it, but this is kind of strange. Especially since it happened once not too long ago.

To be honest, for the past few years, every time I have read about something like that, I have thought about that question.

I discovered that yesterday. It's been over a year (announcement: http://www.groupon.com/blog/cities/jason-fried-joins-the-gro... ) and it wasn't a secret, but I was surprised that I hadn't heard about it when it happened. It does seem to

Very nicely written. But I realize that my reading comprehension once again fails me. I really didn't get the clue of his loss from these last lines: "I would have said “only one,” but it turns out what I meant was “one who will outlive me.

Just curious: what does it do? (no offense, but it asks for too many things and permissions for me to try it right now)

Oh I see. I figured my number might be a bit misinformed. Yeah, AWS pricing is not simple and I'm not surprised I forgot storage and other things... Thanks for the reply!

I put 6-10 but it's not like I have 25 years of programming experience, or like it was an early calling. It's for the hours spent mostly copying BASIC programs from magazines on an Amstrad CPC464. (with very little success rate: these magaz

Would a Linode VPS be much different than an Amazon instance to host a couple of projects without traffic? I've been thinking about getting something more "proper" than the GoDaddy plan I've been barely using for a couple of years, and was

Until you did one spin wrong and it would start spinning the other way :) It's interesting though that the most common 6-sided pencil would fit perfectly for the cassettes. Had the hole been just a bit bigger or smaller and it wouldn't have

The fact that he didn't know what a browser was and that the sidebar says "director of operations" threw me off into thinking the author was "older" and more advanced in his career before starting to learn programming last year. It turns ou

I could see that. For the past couple of months, I've been lazily trying to learn Ruby-on-Rails without knowing Ruby. I read a bunch of the doc about the framework itself (e.g. routes, RESTful aspects of RoR…), but I know I'll need to get

I'm surprised that support at Twilio is a non-tech role. Considering it's heavily targeted at developers, I would imagine most queries being fairly technical, no? Good for you though! As you say, there's a lot to learn :) (but the good news

I'd be interested to know. I know these guys are smart, so I just hope it's not one of these cases where a couple of people think that some products are not well done but that they know how to do it right and clean, to realize later that th

It doesn't matter for the users at all, of course. But I'd think that phone booths have a few benefits that makes this a good idea. For one thing, there's a phone connection right there. I imagine that they would plug into this for the hots

Sure, phones might replace PCs at some point. However, phones with HDMI outputs are already out there and the current use for HDMI is in my opinion impractical. What you're describing is putting your phone on the desk, next to you while you

I'm not sure I'd be very interested in HDMI connectivity on a phone. I'm much more interested in the direction Apple seems to be taking with the AppleTV and AirPlay. With HDMI on a phone, not only you have to go to your TV to plug your phon

I really think the use of the pictures in the new profile is an interesting "hack", but I wish this was used for more than just spreading your face over them in the same way. It was a good idea to use these smaller pictures for something, n

White goods are washing machines, dish washers, fridges…, while brown goods are the audio/video stuff (TVs, stereo). Kind of old fashion but based on the typical color of these items (mostly from a couple of decades or more ago: washing mac

The first time I have ever heard of Justin Bieber was by seeing his name in the trending topics for weeks in a row. (first half of the year) So a lot of Bieber fans do tweet.

The worst part with that kind of mistakes is that you end up never knowing for sure. :) You start with "ln -s A B" and realize you always make the mistake, so you force yourself to do the opposite of your natural instinct: "ln -s B A". It w

I know it's early, but so far the Chrome Web Store confuses me a little bit, in that almost all the ones I tried were nothing more than a bigger shortcut to the regular website/webapp. I feel that anything that's on the web could be in the
