Again. These are classes for _beginners_. I'm not suggesting that you should never learn these things. They should also learn functional programming, estimating how algorithms perform, concurrent programming, binary trees, and a few hundred

I agree - in fact the problem was solved by removing some unnecessary type-checking code. The point I was trying to make is that it's easier to learn the basics of types and logic in a strict system. Implicit type conversion and polymorphis

I spent a lot of time trying to track down bug in a system once (in php) that was caused by this. I don't remember the exact problem but basically it did something like "if(x == 5)" which is true for both 5 and "5" - but later in the code i

It's not about an "inferior API". The web version of Instapaper is free - but if you want to use a native client on your phone then you either have to pay a subscription fee to get API access, or buy the official iPhone client.

That really depends on how far you stretch the term "often". I think the number of unprofitable free websites vastly outnumber the "hugely profitable free websites".

Indeed. How dare they advertise a book by giving advice that relate to it. The important things to remember when reading books like Getting Things Done and 4 Hour Work Week is that they are not written specifically for you. If you read them

I think the problem is the exact opposite. It's easier to blame everything on some single, specific thing like high fructose syrup or saturated fat. If you eat varied and in moderation (and don't sit on the couch all day) then you wont be o

That was my first thought as well. But it I'm afraid the "right now" is the key part of your first sentence. It doesn't really seem like TC is trying to help startups with the prize. It looks more like an attempt to push out DEMO so they ca

Godin, or maybe Gladwell (haven't read the book), is missing the point of the "10,000 hours" theory. It is about being "good" at a subject, not being famous for it. Tiger Woods has spent thousands of hours practicing and is one of the best

If the site contains any sort of CMS or code generated html then don't remove padding and margin with a wildcard (unless you plan to specifying it manually for every tag). Some things are supposed to have margin and padding.

These criteria fit almost anything that requires dedication. Anything from starting a family to funding a company to joining a professional sports team. (except maybe "They are subject to entrapment (isolation from friends, relatives, and t
