Mailinator, even considering any praise it has ever gotten, is still one of the most underrated tools on the internet. I love it and use it all the time.

That is the lamest takedown of pair programming I've ever seen. I don't even do it, I don't even like doing it, but I know that the justification for it was never "more is better", and so does Steve.

I wonder how long the libraries of America could operate on the money we spent for one week of the Iraq war.

Good point. Maybe the best thing then is to add a rule for "img" or maybe ".fixed-size" with "box-sizing: content-box" right after after the "*" rule.

Good points. I am concerned about this coming sandboxing. I don't use the Mac app store, but the sandboxing seems to be too restrictive, and I'd hate to see apps giving up functionality just to stay in the store. I think long-term Apple wil

The Little Schemer made me understand programming in a functional style much better than I did before reading it. It also solidified my opinion that I really would not like working in that style at all.

So, developers will do their contact stealing with Mac or Windows apps instead. Better than nothing.

On one hand, I'd like to see Apple get better at this. On the other, I'd like to see Congress get better at basically everything, including paying attention to things much more important than this.

"It’s tough being a journalist, especially if you’re covering technology and living in Silicon Valley, because it seems as if everyone around you is getting fabulously rich while you’re stuck in a job that will never, ever make you wealthy.

The anti-meeting attitude has pervaded my workplace to the point that we don't have meetings for things we really should. It's a strange feeling to wish for more meetings. For a while, we had a scrum master contracting with us that ran meet

I have worked pretty much my whole career in .NET, and I think it's pretty good in terms of actual coding and development. It has gotten better by leaps and bounds in recent years. .NET and C# aren't the problem, the insanity of the Windows

That is simply ridiculous.

Indeed, why not. I like writing code, let someone else deal with the boring stuff.

Oh, I thought startups actually were like that, since I've never worked at one because being in perpetual crunch-mode sounds terrible. Plus I feel like any promise of some payoff in the future is really a setup to get fucked by someone wh

I've been using Prototype for years and am now using jQuery more, and I have to agree. The knock against Prototype was that it modifies built-in classes, but I seriously doubt how much that actually matters, and as a programming library it

That ad aired when I was a very young child, and I have trouble believing anyone took it seriously. Like, really? You really think using a personal computer with a point-and-click interface is pretty much the same thing as defeating totalit

A/B testing and the like will only guide you to local maxima. Human thought and intuition, ie design, will retain its importance as the impetus for original ideas which can then be optimized through testing. And users will continue to evalu

Node seems unnecessarily complicated and faddish, but if you really want to mire yourself in callback soup then go ahead. I'll just be over here, not tearing my hear out.
