A simple, clean site that conveys the business's value succinctly is a good way to get people to choose you. Differentiate yourself by giving me the information and ability to easily look good to my boss.

This is interesting. Reminds me of http://creditkarma.com . I login to that site about once a month not only to get my current credit score, but also to store and see history. If I managed a big AWS account, I'd be interested in seeing t

That makes sense to me now, but I didn't understand that from 'good bye to localhost'.

Divisible by 4 => leap year Also divisible by 100 => not leap year unless also divisible by 400. It's really not that complicated. [edit: Oops. I messed it up. Irony. Fixed now.]

Also whether or not a year is a leap year is easy to calculate: Year divisible by 4? => leap year; year also divisible by 100? => not a leap year unless year also divisible by 400

I test my app with people. Scripting out unit tests, integration tests, feature tests, regression tests is good, but there's always going to be stuff you miss. I'm not saying you have to hire a full-time tester, but get your friends, famil

Are you confusing Robert Scoble with Michael Arrington? Scoble worked for Microsoft and now works for Rackspace. Arrington worked for Techcrunch before parting ways with parent company AOL. Interestingly, he is more commonly the recipient

Yeah, I agree that I got a bit worked up in my response and my language was a bit stronger than it needed to be. I guess it was driven a bit by: a) nodejs is resulting in a ton of interesting projects. whether it is the best design deci

I agree somewhat with that. I can't place my finger on it, but there's something I don't like about growth needing to be the norm... but that's a whole new topic. Regardless, the opportunity for profit is why people purchase public shares

I love stuff like this. It's like answering a question to which everyone wants to know the answer but is too ashamed or overly confident to ask. It would be interesting to know the variance in responses. I know this wasn't meant to imply s

Agreed. I don't understand how a CEO (Ballmer) can last so long at a company with share price effectively flat between $20 and $30 since 2002 (1). Especially in the tech industry -- unless shareholders think the results would be worse with

I would bet that many of us who manage servers have multiple anomalies in logs we can't explain, but we just don't scan our logs in enough detail to find the anomalies in the first place. The fact that LastPass has methods to notice small a

It is a bit complicated, but I think the author's writing style may make it sound more complicated than it is. Yes, it'll take a little time upfront to get it going, but this, to me, seems like a solution that would require very little mon
