It's largely a service to help people get content they could already get, but at a lower price. "Free exchange of information". As Frank Zappa would say, pheeeeeuuuuuw .

Forgive me if I am a bit put off by the spectacle of a bunch of people calling themselves heroes for downloading the latest episode of "Glee". By the way, those hits from North Korea? Those aren't exactly coming from the average man on the

I can appreciate making web services a lot simpler than horseshit like SOAP. If all we want to do is get data in and out, let's do it simply and without a bunch of extra ceremony. I can appreciate the notion of using concepts we've already

My feeling is, at least in California you're getting something for your money. DC rents are high because the average income there is so high, but you don't get very much "city" for your money, culturally at least. In SF it's just the opposi

Emphasis on the "quiet". Be quiet about how smart you think you are; you're probably wrong anyway.

I lived in DC for about 6 years, never worked in politics, and his statement rings true to me. Even if you're not involved in politics, pretty much everyone else around you is, and it tends to just permeate everyone's life. One of the main

Gruber has explicitly stated before that he doesn't own AAPL. I remember him saying this on his podcast so I don't have a link. No idea about Siegler, I wish people would stop paying that guy attention.

Exactly, but people always come up with bullshit reasons to harp on Apple about this instead of any other company or discussing it as an industry-wide problem. It shows that they are more interested in doing that and hanging onto petty noti

Nerds seem to think they can just slap a UI together and users will be blown away by the code's modularity and spectacular unit-test coverage. Devs who ignore Joel's iceberg principle are in for it, because normal people think if it looks c

No, it's definitely not just you. This seems way too difficult for trying to accomplish something so simple.

Do people seriously consider this guy a liberal? He spent most of the 2000s talking about how awesome globalization is and how the free market was gonna fix everything.

This is getting way over-complicated. Look. When a company IPOs, ownership of that concern is split up into x pieces. The company has some amount of value, which is divided among the shares. As the company increases in value (hopefully), so

Well, sounds like the man has a vision, and is being unambiguous about what it is. I can appreciate that, at least. Count me among the folks that don't "get it", though.

Stupid, wrong, and garbage are the correct words for this. People are taking leave of their senses over this bust.

Well, you used to be able to graduate from high school and get a job that could afford you a house and enough to provide for your family, and a pension you could retire comfortably on. I can certainly see the appeal there. Maybe a lot of th

I was irked by her insisting how smart she is at the outset of the article. In my experience, people who think this don't see the need to learn anything new, or to change themselves in any way because they're just fine the way they are. All

I guess people have quarrel with some of the tactics, but the people who ran this site are just pieces of shit. There just seems to be so little question that they were acting in bad faith. Again, if some of the tactics were bad I have no a

Crockford's "JavaScript: The Good Parts" is the gold standard for best practices. Pretty much anyone who works in JS will recommend it. Here's a video which is a condensed version of what's in the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTI

Yeah, I didn't see a date anywhere, but parts of this advice seem old. That doesn't matter for some things that will never change, but nobody should be writing onclick attributes in 2012. I have found that when you're looking for JS help o

Parts of this seem unrealistic to me. How would anyone say with a straight face "That's great! I was thinking anywhere from 60k up to 130k"? Sixty to a buck thirty ? Nobody has that kind of range. In the first example, if the company was

And a libertarian would count this as yet another instance where government intervention causes problems. To a worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish.
