This is particularly strange given that Google's gwt is probably the best way to build ajax apps. Bold claim, amichail, bold claim. http://"onclick="alert('Doesnt-anyone-want-to-hack-javascript-anymore?')

Same boat. I'm with joshwa in having a cofounder unwilling to move to boston. Pretty sure that played a way bigger role than my comments here.

I'm pretty happy for just using delicious for that. It's always nicer when sites interact well with existing sites instead of bolting on a half assed version of the same functionality. Not to say that Paul's in the business of half assing t

It seems pretty clear that you're right. What makes it hard to stomach though is that they're seriously on to something with S3 and EC2. Moral issues aside, should developers be wary of the poison spreading to the web services division that

There's always been something fishy about 37signals that I can't put my finger on. I respect what they've done but know that I definitely don't want to run a company like they do. Firstly, they charge for everything they possible can. Th

I have no idea what's going on on that page. Is it a blog? Is it a product?

I'm confident they're just fine. For one thing it's a bad sign for Google that they're resorting to announcing vaporware. They didn't need to pre-announce Google Calendars because they knew it was going to kick ass once it hit the market. S

Seriously though. If you're a good hacker then other good hackers and entrepreneurs want to talk to you. Find an in. Sell yourself. Figure out a way to get a conversation. Start with startups likely to be using technologies you know. It doe

28 million users? Has anyone even heard of them before? The premium account seems to add features that are anti-community fostering. If you're working on a social network I would think it's a bad thing if a writeup about you includes the ph

I hope the same and believe they've still got a shot. They could not have entered the space without knowing this is something Google's probably working on.

That may be true of how people currently use presentation software, but inside of organizations people share decks and slides very frequently and it's a pain. Presentation software probably should be highly collaborative even if existing

Wow. Way to basically take credit for Nic Williams' contribution ( extending Rails to do what you want is often much simpler than you think ) while at the same time including in a completely unnecessary dig on the Twitter guys ( I would of

Yeah. I got lazy. The problem with comments is that many good ones only get 1 or 2 points so the average is less meaningful (not that there aren't all sorts of wacky aberrations in the submissions averages).

Yeah. I started with a require 'hpricot' line and then took it out when I realized pg does not put any classes or other identifying attributes in his html. CSS selectors and XPaths with just html elements seem hard to read. "td td u a" do

a good way to put chunks of code in comments. ideally some wrapper notation around the code that does all or some of the following for its contents: -uses a monospaced font -newlines get turned into <br> so that lines show up next to
