I think the biggest issue for me is the fact that I have to work with people who should have been fired a long time ago instead of some co-founders that know how to execute. Working at a company that has never had a lean year can be very fr

Isn't the point not having to worry about presentation and messing the templates? Perhaps I just don't have your command line fu but I don't see how I could do what you are talking about in a single line/simply.

So on one hand this is a nice little framework, on the other hand using html5's timeupdate to load things dynamically based on approx timestamp isn't exactly a new idea. This is definitely going to popularize the concept due to the lower ba

Yeah, the profile of this machine looks radically different than the profile of an iMac. People forget that almost all all-in-one desktops are effectively just clones of past flatscreen stands/mountings, with computer bits crammed in, the b

Seriously, Opera was customizable enough that the way I used it back then was completely indistinguishable from modern tabs. And quite frankly, the ability to occasionally use grid view made it far superior for my common edge cases. Opera's

I used Opera exclusively during that period. It was a far superior browser both in standards support and speed, but the entrenchment of IE6 meant that I had to switch browsers when I accessed my insurance and bank account. The truly frustra

Someone? I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war

About point 3. That solution is actually already pretty well in place for some browsers, people just haven't been building them out yet. http://usejquery.com/posts/create-a-self-caching-website-rea...

Pretty sure the ribbon is a brilliant piece of well researched UI work. Definitely a case of people just not wanting to break from the familiar.

Finally! A small glimmer of light at the end of a dark tunnel. Yes, emailing a dev, give it a shot! Hell, in my first post I even just suggested posting your question on StackOverflow (you do know what stackoverflow is right?), then if it g

Did you email them and ask? Or submit an issue via Github? Did you ask for help on Stack Overflow? Once you found the fix for yourself did you submit a pull request? Did you contribute? Maybe write a guide for others so they won't have the

When you run your own site your job is to do whatever you want, however you want, it's your chance to be opinionated and exclusionary, and as long as you are not begging me to invest money, more power to you. Also open source and sharing is

There are many great communities, I will single out Ruby because you chose to do so in your post. For many in the Ruby community, nothing does exist prior to their favorite framework. This is because a core ethos of the ruby communities has

Well, yes it isn't new, there are also still 900 numbers. But just look at the offerings, Skype, AT&T(ether), the services are either a "value add" for the company or just look like crap. This space is begging for an implementation that

Awesome, this whole issue has been a bugaboo for me a long time. Make sure you create a embeddable widget that people can plaster on blog posts, articles, "maker" sites, Knol(lol, but I think something like this would have given that servic

by fellowniusmonk 15y ago
I seriously wonder why someone hasn't created an app/escrow service to mimic/enhance 900 numbers. Experts enter, hours available, and their price per unit (minutes, hours, whatever). Users would basically pay the experts premium to cut thro

Your analogy is wrong "terminology" and "language" encompass a radically different scope. The actual analogy you should have used is: English is too hard, so we will use simplified, task specific terminology (or better yet, pictographs) to

Music is like air in the sense that it will always be created, it is as natural as speech for humans, stories and song are to people as oxygen creation is to a plant, the amount of funding may effect the quality (subjective) and quantity (u

Thought 1: This may be overly cynical, but it is hard to believe that this isn't just another way to dump more people into their adwords system. People who "over optimize" on a large scale are probably the same people making money off of we

Looks like TODO list for textmate. After trying nearly everything under the sun and have found this as the only way of reproducing the idea "flow" of writing on paper.

Portuguese speakers have long used "isto" (translated as this) as an affirmative statement, regular usage of a term meaning "this" as an affirmative didn't start with the internet.

Yeah, back at my last company we added 1 outside the box feature to the site and it increased per page conversion 50%, this was after years of rigorous optimization. It's always interesting what lateral thinking can do.

Thank goodness I always use mailinator for junk like that.
