To me, our triumphs will likely never out weigh our failures. There are a small group of people in this world doing amazing things. However what is the point if we can't survive as a species? As technology improves, one day making something

This is impossible to answer. As a freelancer sometimes I have absolutely no work on a given day, sometimes I'm piling in 12+ hours a day for a deadline. You should add "it depends" as an option.

This is 100% true, but what this guy is failing to mention is that it seems that economists don't understand macroeconomics. We are in a terrible terrible mess that was predicted by a very select few that have been shouting out for years by

Not to be mean, but this is a little ignorant. The areas in which Gates does his work are extremely impoverished. Getting food is a real issue, having a bed net is a luxury.

I hate articles like this. All the statements in the last couple paragraphs that start with "You start to fell..." or "You don't get..." should have the "You" replaced with an "I". I totally understand that someone why someone who works fro

I probably do sell myself a little short, but again hanging around here it's not that hard to do. In the end, I probably reacted a little strongly, this is a community of experts and you were venting. I doubt you go stomping around the offi

"Struck a nerve, huh?" Yes. I am not a great programmer. I only started caring about it a couple of years ago and since I don't have a real education in it I am very behind in many areas. I am trying to get better, but it's not easy. "No on

"Only when you dip down into the mediocre masses do you need this help." And what is wrong with that? Some of us aren't the programming gods you are. If it helps people why get so high and mighty about it? I know with your superior intellec

Looks like it was done by the same people who did IGN's new home page.

I agree. Pandora has literally changed my life. I am a musician as well as a coder, but I have recently fell in love with jazz fusion. Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, Tribel Tech, etc... but I don't have a friend who is really in to jazz that wo

I installed 8.10 and couldn't get enough of what I wanted to working and quickly reinstalled 8.04.

So if google came out against slavery or child molestation that would be a bad thing? I understand that the board has legal obligations, but to say that this is an issue that is even debatable is beyond ridiculous to me. Look at every compa

"There is no point taking a risk if there is no reward." The reward is equal treatment for our gay brothers and sisters. The reward is doing the right thing, even if it means profits go down, not that I think they will. Are we so blinded by

I do. It really is a great service. For $13 a month you get pretty much all the music you want streaming to your computer. For someone who is at a computer all day, its great. Also, as someone who goes from obsession to obsession, it really

I personally thought the old site was beyond bad. I think for better or worse, a well designed site does matter when attracting new customers. Sure, the service may be the same, but people will be more willing to use it if it has a function

This is what I needed to hear. Thanks for the great advice.

More about the philosophy of quality code. I am going to do the work, that's not the issue, but I was asking for advice on how to proceed with the coding. I'm sure this has happened to people before and will happen again. I was also thinkin

Yes. I am a freelancer and this project has come from one of my best sources for work. These changes have come over the course of a year or two so the issue is more about maintainability than initial planning. There was no way to know what

Thanks for the reddit thread. Code quality seems to be something I have never really learned. I understand some of the principles of it, but executing them over a long period of time on a project that keeps expanding is certainly something

The site is online and live. They use it daily. The changes have been made over a couple of years, so I have been paid for the work that has been completed, which is everything except this last round of changes.

Does anyone know the deal with this game? I have seen it on various sites many times but no actual details on when the game will come out. Did I miss something?

Doesn't the step "have a kick ass portfolio online" seem unhelpful to someone who is just starting out?

No matter how good the service is, I think the design of the homepage could use a lot of work. Just my two cents.

Can it be neither?

Right off the bat there is no link for a more in depth review. You have a good pitch, but no 'Read more here' link. You have links to other sites reviewing your product, but I would like to see an explanation(more than 3 steps) of how it al

That and "Maybe journalists will do proper research again". This guy has some decent points but in the end has his head so far up his, well you get the idea. The internet is far from 'shit'. Here in America it is single handedly saving our
