Con: *NIX software isn't as easy to install. I mean there's stuff like brew and ports, but it's just not the same. You have to sit there and compile and then oops you have a problem you need to go fix. For instance, postgres9.0 on ports has

I'm preferential to the white version. It's easier for me to see the shades of gray than the shades of green. In particular, the pointing thing's eyes look funny and the ! above its head are just kind of strange. I don't know how to expla

I wonder if it has anything to do with touch interfaces? People need big giant buttons so they can punch them without a mouse. I don't know if Freshbooks really had this in mind, but it could be the basis of the "trend" that sites are rede

I agree. All things being equal, picking one idea will get you somewhere. If all 4 things will make you happy working on them, and now you're just trying to figure out which is the "best" then just pick something so long as they meet your

Realize how you can reduce your fears to nothing. >1. Fear of not having thought of ever legal angle. You pay your lawyer to figure that out. If you get a C&D figure out then what your solution is, don't pre-optimize. >2. Fear

You probably want to get a real live sysadmin to set this up, rather than DIY. Best practices go a real long way in getting the environment healthy and compatible with whatever stuff you want to add later (been there, done that...) With 20+

While I agree with you that the instructions matter, are your numbers x86 (or arm) instructions, or are they micro-instructions that your high level instruction set is translated in to? If so, the other factor is how many micro-instructions

I didn't find the scaffolding that difficult to understand, because I've used CakePHP before, but what gets me in Rails is the magic helper keywords. For instance: ActiveRecord.find_by_columnname(value), {controller}_path, {controller}_url

While I'm not interested in taking this, I am very curious as to the metrics and trying to sift through the data to find useful information, like the number of unique SMS addresses sent to, and how many times on average each user sends mess

How would you classify these things? Bugs that are resulting from "undocumented features"? Or is it PEBKAC and they're calling you to be personal tech support? If it's 1 you can point to the spec, and if it's 2 you might have to sit down a

I'm not sure if you'd find this interesting or not, but your server performance can actually depend on your memory configuration. For example, you should definitely populate the dual channel, tri channel, or quad channel recommended. Howev

You don't have to distract from the current project at hand though. You would do this maybe once a year. A credit would simply appear in their account, and you send them an email saying something like "Thank you for supporting open source

What about a co-op of sorts? You could take your cut while people are donating, and then you give back the extra money in the form of a voucher or something that can be applied to another crowdsourced project (that way you don't have to ex

I hear this, but then see it in places. When I went to get my license plate there was a 3% "convenience fee" to use your debit or credit card. Is it something in the wording?

A professor of mine one asked the class: "How would you like to live your life 10% better?" Everyone was like "yeah, of course" The professor's friend would always ask for discounts, everywhere he went. He would normally get a discount of a

I agree with this. There's nothing wrong with this model and it's quite reasonable as far as expectations. The only time I would do monthly fee per laptop is if you owned the laptops and they were leasing the hardware from you or if you own

The career office at my school requires 2 weeks for students, including internships. Most of them play by the rules but I did have an internship offer that wanted a decision in 24 hours.

As an extension to this, have you validated the idea? I ask because your phrasing is "what I think our app should do," but this could easily mean "my interpretation of customer feedback/iteration." This doesn't matter to someone who is g

I was noticing this, as I've been trying to learn Rails. I already know some Ruby and I wanted to try to learn the web framework so I just didn't know CakePHP. The gem thing is getting to me. I understand gems as a function of something l

Another reason why I think you'd have 3 plans is so people can compare. If you offer 3 products, 2 that are similar and 1 that is different, most people will discard the dissimilar item and compare the remaining 2, making a decision based o

I code in Perl at my day job, and I still use awk and grep. Sometimes it's quicker to do it in awk than perl, especially when you're doing it in command line and have to figure out quotes. awk -F, '{print $3}' foo | xargs -I{} echo 'comman
