I don't believe advertising itself is necessarily evil, and it provides an easy way for website owners to fund operations. You're provided a service for no monetary cost but, in return, you must requite some of your focus to an advertisemen

I really enjoyed your writing style. It didn't push its (successful!) attempts at humor and used them sparingly enough to be a joy when they were read.

This is a great article for an introduction to HTTP caching. It's well-written and even covers how to set up caching in Apache.

>Apple was taught that this is how you play the game. This implies that Apple was some naive child entering the Big Bad World of Business. I doubt they were unaware of how to play the game.

Thanks so much for linking to this post. I was just thinking how I would go about caching QuerySets for a Django project.

Gotcha. Thanks for your reply. Do you have any plans to include some sort of "conversion" functionality that turns Wordless themes into standalone themes that dont' require the Wordless plugin? I could see a lot of people who make and sell

I got the feeling this plugin was for people who need to— for whatever reason, be it work or otherwise— make a lot of Wordpress themes. In that regard, it's pretty neat. I wouldn't go so far as to learn HAML and how to use the RVM just to m

I'm not a Ruby developer, so I can't comment if this makes it easier for someone who lives in both Rails and Wordpress, but as someone who has to occasionally make a custom Wordpress theme and has no experience in Rails, this looks like a

I agree. I was hoping for a little more content from Mr. Rose himself— especially what he plans on doing in the future for Digg and how he decided to deal with the problems that arose.

This looks really cool, but I'm not sure what it is. Is this sort of like a cross between Heroku and WordPress.com?

This is anecdotal, but I've seen more Python articles in the past couple of weeks than Ruby. node.js is a pretty useful tool for random hackery, and most of the CSS articles have been "hacks" for creating cool UIs. I like to think of the "H

Just to nit-pick: record companies have always "[sucked] up all the money". I don't believe there ever was a golden age where record companies were Nice Guys and everyone was happy.

To be fair, I don't believe Facebook ever allowed users to opt out of certain permissions (barring their recent beta auth[0]). Certainly you'd want to handle missing permissions gracefully, but I can't blame a dev for making their app non-f

I agree. I don't think I would ever enter a generic search term in to Google and trust the first thing that pops up with hundreds of dollars of my money. Not to say this is the customer's fault. Just saying people place too much trust into

How do you quantify the importance of a major compared to another? Certainly poets, historians, artists, and writers have more than a monetary importance in society. How do you measure the inspiration a great writer generates? How do you ob

I wish he had more to back up his 10m US iPad sales than "a conservative guess." 40% of all iPad sales being in the US seems a bit much. Maybe he could extrapolate from the other manufacturers' worldwide sales? So if Samsung sold 192,000 ta

I think your parent post was talking about the Facebook Like/Google+ +1 buttons. In order for those to work, I believe they need to be loaded on the page via an iframe. Things like Facebook's "share" and Twitter's "tweet" buttons don't exec

It would be confusing to the user to give three separate options for the same country and expect them to know they are the same. What it should do is if you type "deuts", it should return Germany (Deutschland) or if you're on a Ger
