This is somewhat interesting, but I can always work half the speed and save that $3,000 for marketing on the way to completion of the MVP, get a friend to come along with much less equity to help out. Then again you want the idea, you want

Go to sleep, it's not good to be awake for 30 hours. You are sleep deprived and this makes it tough and confusing. MVC does not complicate matters. MVC is just a standard way to structure your code. You probably are reading somewhat right b

I will not go paperless at least not for now, because I do not see how paper production is more polluting compared to server farms which use ton of electricity which has to be generated somehow and we still generate ton of electricity from

Please share that script when you do it. It might be fancy to read man pages when one is bored instead of watching something as the randomness might dig some cool facts of the system for you which you did not know before hand.

You seriously think GCC is the only C compiler which exists? Though now you understood that GNU/Linux is the OS and not only GNU. Though it is true that you need to patch the stock Linux to compile it with some other compiler like Intel CC

GNU is not either the operation system as without Hurd, Linux or some other kernel you can not use the GNU tools. GNU/Linux is a collection of software which forms the operation system though this collection can contain even more software a

For me when I find something to be angry at I feel great for a while and it turns out to frustration and then it starts to depress me and I am now even more depressed about something which I most likely can not help. Though I have learned t

Thanks to the discussion I have realized that performance of product is much more important for the user experience than I originally have thought compared to other things like feature Y. If the product does not have competition and is prof

Not in case of those books you listed, but if you have some books about basics of technology which does not age that fast. Seriously some old security books for example are good reading.

It's true that in a competition where features dominate the performance won't make much difference, but what if your competitor realizes this and matches your feature set with better performance? You just lost pretty much all of your users

This is nice example, but you kinda missed the point. This search algorithm is purposely making the search engine to sleep for maximum amount of time even if the results come faster. This is really done with the user in mind like you said a

I just laughed out loud. Thanks for today's laugh. I have seriously never heard that someone would think circling the mouse would make internet faster. Though I have heard of other things for making internet faster. Well yeah optimizing tha

Duh. Of course you can use compilers to dump to native, but then why no-one is doing it? They lose the power of the jre cross-platform support, which is pretty much all of the hype of Java and argument of pretty much every developer who I h

I agree that sometimes the language you use does not matter, but how the developer does not care about the speed of his application. I am asking why the developer is wasting those CPU cycles. Anyway comparing web site backend with compiled

by aleprok 14y ago
I know it's not always about the language choice, but it does matter too. Java for example requires easily 2 to 20 times more memory compared to c++? So why do we exchange we few fine lines of code for that memory consumption and easier cro

Maybe people are not willing to pay more for software that runs faster, but I'm sure more people are willing to use your software longer time when they don't have to complain about the user experience. In the game industry we often see the

Really depends on what kind of product I would have at which state and what I need to do next. If I were at your position and the product is actually ready already I would spend all of that cash on advertising after I would make sure that m

I sleep around 6-7 hours, but I have really hard sleep pattern problems. So it might be 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening or anything like that. :/

Any social network where you can post messages for the user in the users message stream.

There is just one major trouble with not needing stinking API. You can not POST as a possible client without requiring them to give their password to you, which actually would give you full access to their account instead of limited access

Why to set a fixed end time for your zone? Your zone will end when you have finished your task and start to look for the next task.

I do drink coffee, but not as stimulant to boost my productivity. The only time I drink coffee regularly is when I wake up. Otherwise I drink coffee only when I feel like wanting cup of it. Though usually its about 3 cups a day. I do drink
