Apparently, Google, Apple, Nokia, and RIM all submit patches to the Webkit project. Google's contributions have surpassed Apple's in recent years.. Edit: I did a little more digging, and it looks like Chrome did start out as a (not very) s

If X and Y cost the same but do not solve the same amount of pain, one of them is underpriced.

True, but she'll probably use the PTO for doctor's visits and other pre/postpartum stuff.

I'm a big fan of octopress now, which is just jekyll with some rake tasks and plugins already set up to make things even easier to get started.. https://github.com/imathis/octopress

Hmm, you sound like you've got yourself upset by reading all the Marissa Mayer news, then trying to compare yourself to her and falling short. Am I right? Anyway, here is the "secret": Find an opportunity that seems interesting to you and

Your job is not you. In fact, if your job is the least interesting thing about your life, then you're probably doing fine. I agree that you do need to learn something new or go on a trip somewhere. Don't quit your job unless you have a be

I can share notebooks in Evernote with people and it Just Works. Where's the pain? I hope there's more to your app than "I see them type on my screen, and they see me type on their screen".

We just had our first baby 7 months ago. Parenthood does throw off your work-life balance, but you will still get free time sometimes, you just need to be focused and patient and organized. Teamwork between you and your partner is key. Al

Have you tried any of the traditional "sleep training" stuff (e.g. Ferberizing etc)? We have a 7mo that we just started sleep training last week, and it's going surprisingly well. She goes to bed around 7:30-8pm, sleeps through night, and

Without a package manager, I really can't see myself using this. Cygwin + apt-cyg is just easy.

Here's a thought. Do you know your Meyers-Briggs type? It sounds like you might be more of a "thinker" than a "feeler". If you're more of a "thinker", start at the beginning, learning about the roots of blues and ragtime, what life was li
