If you're interested in MIDI and how it's been used in some really weird ways I'd recommend Adrian Belew's "History & Future of Guitar Noise". You can watch it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWfxQ4QFM4M

Is there an online community of Dublin entrepreneurs or a meetup? I'd start there since a lot of the people there have ideas but no programming chops. You can probably post to the startup/technology subreddits and see if you can fish someon

For those unfamiliar with the company in the article, Rachel's talking about her experience at Google. One problem I've seen in big tech. companies (especially Google) is that most employees hate doing interviews, they think it's worthless

If Android's growth is X times the iPhone's growth, and Android had a bigger "market share" a year ago (according to the article's chart), shouldn't iPhone's share be lower than Android's?

They already have the infrastructure for this and they have to maintain it running for Basecamp so what they're doing here is more of their "sell your byproducts" thing.

5x more expensive than what? Owning/leasing servers? Similar cloud providers?

This has nothing to do with Ruby or Rails. Setting a proper HTML encoding (UTF-8) would fix it.

Not necessarily. Some authors think that the best thing they can provide is a small framework that does the most basic stuff and then you plug-in the rest of the components you need. An example of this is Sinatra where you get a router, som

Indirection. Every time you add a new class to do something and call it from somewhere else you've added an extra level of indirection. This can be good when dealing with complex logic but for many cases it just hinders code readability.

You might be interested in learning more about Priceonomics ( http://priceonomics.com/ ), a company does price comparisons for a bunch of stuff. I don't know what their engine is written on but it's certainly something custom, and that's mo

The other answers are pretty complete so I'd just like to highlight some points: * The H1B quotas tend to get filled pretty quick, this year they were covered by July (iirc). They start accepting applications on April so try to get that don

These are not particularly good arguments he puts forth here Would you care to explain why you think they're not particularly good? You're blaming DHH of being "hand wavy" but I don't see any more depth from your comment.

They're not removing downloads, only the uploads that can't be generated from the repo itself. You can still provide downloads that work just a a .zip of the repo contents.

If your binary files are not huge you can always add them directly to your repo (they don't have a repo file size limit anymore). If we're talking about multiple GB just go for S3, we're talking about cents per month.

Out of curiosity, does this bother you? I'm sometimes glad when authors take the time to be concise and put their ideas out there in the shortest way possible while still being interesting.

What's interesting about their blog is that they never post about managing projects or how to organize your contacts. You know, the problems/solutions related to their popular products. Although I agree with most of the other things you s

Have you tried the new Basecamp? I never got to appreciate the old one but the newest version I've been a happy user for a couple of months now. It supports all the things you need and I personally think the UI/UX is amazing.

I think the current answer fails to mention two important things: 1. GitHub. 2. Linus himself wrote it (the kernel previously used BitKeeper but that never got any real traction AFAIK). Having said that, I think this phrase totally nails it

Heroku and EC2/CE are different services: Heroku is a platform that takes care of all the "plumbing" for you, you do a `git push` and your application is instantly running on their servers. They take care of installing all their dependencie

Don't even consider shared hosting, unless you're setting up a cheap Wordpress site you're better off going for Heroku/AppFog or even a VPS. Shared hosting tends to be slow, unreliable, the support usually sucks and all their promises about

If you are not really into sysadmin stuff you should try to avoid VPS if possible. It's not hard but you don't want to be learning while you have more important stuff to do. Check out Heroku or AppFog. Having said that, Softlayer has a prog

I've always wondered why Twitter doesn't do something like this. Why wouldn't they change their rules to something like: Once you have more than 100k users you pay us 5-10% of every copy of your software sold. If your app's free then you do
