Wow, looks slick and nice Just curious, how many people have been working on this? One small thing is that you should maybe allow people to view a sample trip from your main page (maybe also a link to something like http://zipalong.com/zip

When I worked in japan, I often got tired of people witholding their criticism out of politeness... For example, just to get my coworkers to actually correct my japanese took a few month of me insisting that no I won't be angry at them for

I got really used to the low travel of keys on my laptop keyboard and just can't stand using external keyboards from that...

I've been using colemak for the last 3 months and the result has been very positive: - The wrist pains I used to have disappeared (since that was the main reason to switch, the switch is a definite succes) - It took me about 1 month and a

Yes that's what I want to know. My company is incorporated in Hong Kong and apart from paypal I haven't found other payment processors I could use (that are not too expensive)... BTW, if anyone has some tips on that I'd be interested.

I've had the same behavior as a kid. Starting middle school I stopped doing any homework whatsoever partly to better fit in by not seeming too serious, partly to prove to myself that I could succeed without (and have a convenient excuse if

The biggest problem I have with websites like hometown that shut down with insuficiant notice is that burned users are less likely to trust new websites... And as a webapplication developper I care about having users trust me with their con

shush... please don't reveal this well guarded secret... I love always coming late in the plane and still getting the exit row. But if you start teaching other people that those are nice sits....

Of course my experience is just anecdotical but I lived in a a small village in the countryside (350 inhabitants if you count the cows) until I was 17. I find that since living in big cities, I have more energy, I'm much more upbeat and muc

Well that was my thoughts before I actually did it.. Now that I have the experience, I would say that planning a bit before quitting is important too (that was my failure), also make sure you have sufficiant reserve money to bounce back. So

Learn to manage my time better and stop procastinating with HN :-) More seriously, I want to read SICP seriously and play again with Ocaml (I used it quite a bit in university and really liked this language) On things outside of programming

That's why I said 'I'd like to see an implementation that does not suck', it means all the ones I've seen (= familiar with) suck... :-)

I tried using fogbugz a couple of time and agree with you. For the ease of use, I know that there were quite a few things I didn't really get (though I forgot which one). In the end I'm now using pivotal tracker instead. Now apart from that

I'm french and living in japan. Japanese patent law is not much better than the us one (or at least from the little I learned about it) and in europe we are constantly fighting to prevent software patents... Now in truth, while I used to be

I think part of the problem with cloning a website is the motivation. Feeling that you're just cloning a succesful website without adding your own touch is just not as motivating (at least for me). I'm a bit in this situation currently sinc

I think that cloning a website by localizing it for another country only really makes sense when the community around the website is a big part of its value. In this case the new community surronding the localized version is going to provid

In my experience, all of my friends who have lived long enough in japan and particularly had such a toiled in their rented appartment (rather rare usually the owners don't spend money on this when they just want to rent you the appartment),

I got intrigued how come I don't know about pooswa in french... Then looking at urban dictionary seems like they got it from the sentence 'voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir', which got transcribed to 'voule vu coche avec moi POOSWA!', so

The ability to not suck it up when you think it's definetely pointless is a great ability to have. It's what pushes some of us to choose challenging jobs or to go and create our own company. There are sometimes when you have to do work that
