Firebug and LiveHTTPHeaders are basically the only reason I keep Firefox around these days.

That's a good point. I was simply speaking from a usage standpoint, not for development. Also, I suspect you're talking about javascript speed -- I was mainly addressing non-javascript rendering. Chrome feels basically instant, while Firef

For me, Chrome wins purely on speed. Like the article says, "it [Chrome] feels faster, and that's all that matters." Once in a while I need to use Firefox to test something, and it just feels painfully slow in comparison.

The NYTimes just covered a similar idea, in an article titled "Just Manic Enough". An interesting quote from the article, which I think sums it up fairly well, was "You need to suspend disbelief to start a company, because so many people w

At the end of the article, Bourdain admits he succeeded primarily due to luck, and that "luck is not a business model". I suspect many here have heard the more famously quoted "hope is not a business model", which is also true. Perhaps le

The linked article is from 2009, but apparently they actually performed the test last Friday (September 17, 2010). They had a helicopter filming it, but the helicopter crashed.. while filming the autonomous car ascending Pikes Peak! See h

I would love to see this integrated via an API into other sites, as it is definitely the fastest/cleanest image uploading & gallery I've seen to date. Some probably obvious suggestions: different views, display filesize/type info when

As an interesting comparison, I just saw that John Resig posted a benchmark of jQuery.css() performance across browsers. It doesn't include IE9, but does include Opera 10.62 and FF 4.0b6 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeresig/4999526752/

Good question :) I didn't write the article, maybe ask @lucidchart on Twitter? According to the actual article title though, it seems the main interest was testing FF4 and IE9 against existing browsers, which would explain the absence of d

I'm not in a startup currently, but the individual coverage I can purchase is better than what my employer offers. I'm paying ~$140/mo for a HDHCP PPO with United Healthcare. It has a $1900/yearly deductible, and I am putting an extra $220/

Yes, "difficult" can certainly mean "too time consuming to be worthwhile".

I'm not a designer, but as a consumer I think site design is extremely important. If your site looks like it was thrown up hastily or is a fly-by-night operation, I'm definitely less likely to give you my credit card information. Why is i

Yes, it seems that over the past 6-12 months it has been one security vulnerability after another with OpenX -- which is why I switched to Google DFP 2 weeks ago.

It was very telling that each line cook at French Laundry is the equivalent of a sous chef at "any other restaurant". In fact, they are almost an executive chef, as they create and plan their own dishes daily. Furthermore, everyone is cal

It took John Grisham three years (1984-1987) to write "A Time To Kill", and it wasn't published until 1989 because he couldn't find a publisher. Fast forward to 2010 -- in an op-ed to the NY Times, he says that writing is the most difficul

As others have mentioned, tr and cut are extremely useful. Although I had overlooked them in the past, expand/unexpand are also very useful! They convert tabs to spaces, or spaces to tabs. Of course there are other ways to do that, like sub

Reddit is a great Digg replacement -- higher quality, and more personal/human interest stories. HN is like an even higher quality than reddit, /r/hackers+startups (subreddit).
