   I'm fascinated by Chinese restaurants and Chinatowns. I hadn't thought about the Linux analogy before but that's pretty accurate. Although it's more accurate to say that Linux follows the Chinese restaurant model since it predates Linux by

   This is a novel concept for blocking ads but not a practical one for blocking "parasites". It's not clear to me what they are referring to when they say "parasites". Regardless, the intrepid hooligans go through domains and subdomains like

   So the solution to selling confusing software is a sales call. That's a novel idea worth exploring.

    Haha, ya that was me. There were a couple others too. That was in 2006. It was so well hidden in the code that no one found it until I mentioned it to someone at the company this past spring (I had hidden in the jar of a 3rd party library).

    This is the best thing to happen to site hosting in a long, long time. It's possibly even the nail in the *forge coffin.

    What is the definition of "traffic" in this case? Page views? Regardless, "traffic" is not a basis for determining the value or even the popularity of a site.

    You don't understand the situation. Flickr was created by Ludicorp, a start-up that was acquired by Yahoo. George worked for Ludicorp. Whether you think Flickr is valuable or not is irrelevant. She was there in the beginning and now she's b

    Don't forget about the added sting of having worked on Flickr from the beginning. She was an employee of Ludicorp before being an employee of Yahoo.

    SV entrepreneurs are not a cohesive group. Neither are Europeans. It's just as ridiculous to say "Europeans are lazy" as it is to say, "entrepreneurs have a terrible track record". It's worse in the case of "Europe" because that's a group o

    Ah okay. Try Tsung, the Grinder, or JMeter if you have extra machines. For less heavy-duty testing try httperf. Siege and Apache bench are okay for basic testing. And always use a separate machine to generate load.

    This story is going from bad to worse. The site was up again and I made it to page 5 looking for code examples (I was pretty interested to see some Haskell). The closest I found was a shell call for find. Page 6, "Server Error". The site is

    I can't make a claim as to whether entrepreneurship is noble but it's far more than "not completely useless". Let's continue with your example. We have millions of true computer lovers coding for free. Let's expand that to include people pu

    There is a lot of tech coming out of the Netherlands and we hear about it because their english is very good. There's a lot of tech inside Germany, France, Italy, etc obviously but most of it is in their mother tongue. Just a few links off
