Of all the things we need to spend Billions of dollars on, it isn't a move to change numbers on road signs and create mass confusion. Like QWERTY, imperial units work fine enough for most people despite advantages of other systems.

Sqlite filled a desperate need with no contenders, while Fossil, released in 2006, was going up against git and hg (both released a year earlier). Though Fossil is much more than a SCM (wiki, bug tracker, blog) and while not mainstream, is

You can use SQL as a document store, you don't have to use joins. MongoDB queues inserts into memory before flushing it to disk. This means it's not durable in case of a power outage before the data is flushed. Turn on the safety of flushin

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take away from this. Wow, this guy was really lucky, I guess. There are probably thousands of blog posts just like this for websites that didn't become popular or mainstream.

This is really well done! I would recommend putting the defaults back in and playing around with and finding a good value for "remove connections that have less than" using a number based on a percentage of the posts in sub instead of an ar

Make sure you have only one flash enabled in your plugin settings, if you have two different flash plugins running they will fight to be the chosen one and most likely lag and crash your browser.

This is so true, but it's more than just cpu speed vs programmer speed. There are philosophies that are built in to the language and you can see them in decisions made about the language, the kinds of patterns baked in, the libraries and th

I can see from an clean request to google.com that they set two cookies on your browser that are set to expires 6 months from the last request to google.com. So assuming you use google more than once every 6 months they can keep a running l

I thought good design was about designing for the extremes, not the mass majority of people that don't use your product to the fullest.

Is it just me or are these blogs posts increasing more and more about name dropping? Blah blah blah artsnapz , blah artsnapz . 7 out of the 10 paragraphs had the word artsnapz in it, and 1 out of 2 pictures had it. It doesn't mean the a

Yeah, I don't mind some heavy criticism at all when it's deserved-- but not everyone can take critism as well. I don't know if this is true, but the stereotype of geeks is that they lack "emotional intelligence". I think it's important to r

I always thought people shouted the "Help us Disrupt" thing because they want people to shift to them because they are 'better' than the evil mega-corps and 'have the best interest of their users at heart' instead of, you know, actually hav

Strangely, this behavior will ultimately be reward with a huge influx in user base due to awareness. Might even cover that 800k fine easily.

I've seen this a couple times. Honestly, it's not surprising so much as it's cool. Subways are fairly predictable and they have a natural rhythm to them, animals can deal to deal with this sort of system. We should be designing more user ex

I thought the idea was really great as well, on the flipside I love Dota2's ability to "commend" as it makes people try harder to be friendly and lead in order to earn those points positively. (Though in reality I've only gotten those point

I don't know if the author realizes it, but he just "announced" his product over his blog. He just launched it. It's pretty common to wrap a product launch into your blog, Joel Sposky did it with Trello (and continued to do it every post) a
