You know what you need to do. You've got to push yourself forward! Try not to lament about the past, just concentrate on making your future better.

I wasn't aware of this project! I may indeed switch from GReader to Newsblur, since it seems to be more in line with my habits. I guess Newsblur and the subject of this topic solve different problems.

Garbage collection, (now) JIT compilation, combined with Dalvik, plus lots of developers know the syntax. Not to mention you can use native code with the NDK. Java was a good choice in my opinion. I've done enough development for Android to

Thanks for reminding me of that! Definitely my favourite moment.

I think more a more likely explanation is that they lacked the infrastructure to roll it out effectively. If that's the case then they should have just waited until they could deliver. It's pure conjecture of course!

The entire event model has been shifted from Carbon to Cocoa, which means a huge headache for their code. Not to mention a horrendous mess of new drawing models. The NPAPI is a dated, ancient, neglected API that gets more difficult to work

It's a choice that many people trivialize. The point of the post was, I think, a bit of a warning to think about startup life seriously before diving in.

It's things like this email that make the Ruby community sparkly and tantalizing for all of us.

If you have the flexibility to rewrite the project in Rails, absolutely do it :)

I am by no means a philosopher, but I've read some Rawls and found him both clear and accessible. I wish more philosophical writing was this way!

I hop between Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows all the time, so little annoyances like this just fade into the background for me. I can appreciate how this would annoy somebody, though.

It's worn on the pinky finger of the working hand so that it drags across your work, serving as a constant reminder. It doesn't smudge, it just presses against your skill all the time. That's also why it has the rugged "hammered" look. It

Nah all the camps still offer them, you just need to ask. I wanted a stainless steel one, since the only thing that really matters to me is the symbolism.

I imagine you will have better luck trying to found co-founders amongst the people you know and can trust that you've met in real life. Having said that, this is the Internet! Reddit named a whale Mr. Splashy Pants! There's nothing we aren'

The entire point of the website is that the team is looking for a new job. They are all team players... they are practically the shining example of how a good team operates. Being a team player doesn't necessarily mean mindlessly obeying

You forget that their "singular vision and balls" would be useless if no engineers every actually implemented it. The point of stock allocation is to get people to do the work that needs to be done, and it's risky because at the time of h
