Developer starfuckers. I'm not saying YC is without value, I think for certain people it's fantastic. Not everyone knows how to build a business out of the box. But the obsession with certain types of getting into YC is purely so they can b

Really, then what exactly would you call it? You are essentially subject to all manner of ridiculous punishment for what would be considered minor or non-offenses in most free countries. Most of their elections are uncontested. You can dres

Software patents should not exist. Implementation is everything, ideas are easy. Copyright covers everything important.

I somewhat disagree with homebrew being thrown in with Fink and Macports. The benefit to homebrew is that it doesn't require having package maintainers to babysit packages and make sure the binaries work and are updated. You basically just

Agreed, which is why when it comes to testing a legit setup, I usually do it on a virtual machine. Or of course one of those $5 Digital Ocean VPSes.

Well for one, you probably don't want them to be apt-get in terms of installing binaries. We had that with Fink, etc. and it sucked and was outdated quickly. Homebrew is pretty solid though, probably better than what Apple would come up wit

It's not really about Macs per se, it's about the Unix toolchain and unlike Linux, Macs have Photoshop, etc.

Yeah, you're right, we don't necessarily know the details, but if I were the gym owner and I felt like I was in the right, I'd stand up for myself rather than cower, close down all my Facebook pages to not face criticism, and tell everyone

They don't see themselves in that market...yet, and the trends don't look good in that direction either. As we all know, Apple has continued to shy away from actual computing in recent years. Now if you could do something like this for Linu

No, I don't think it was an unfortunate side effect, I think it's exactly what he wanted to happen. I know if I were a customer at that gym that I would never be back if someone was trying to screw with my industry. I'd also tell everyone I

Oh yeah, it would be sooooo much better for a small business to spend possibly thousands and thousands of dollars on a judgement that will never get paid. But you are right about installments. I have a very specific set of language in my co

Well, I was trying to be nice so the ones that read the forum can convince themselves they are in the good group.

All I can say to Disqus is a big "fuck you" and I will never be back. At least try to sell me something. Right now, it's either whore out my blog to your advertisers or pay $999 for VIP service. The first rule of making a product is to actu

I'm one of the whitest, blond-haired, blue-eyed crackers you'll ever meet and when I had a large beard, even I got profiled. For a while, I understood it, just kind of shrugged it off. In 2013, it's getting a lot harder to do so when it's s

While you made a lot of mistakes here, it's also pretty frustrating that there's a good deal of VCs who are basically only looking for the next Twitter. Why would anyone think viral growth would be realistic for this product? How does one a

While I generally agree with your thoughts, I also wonder what's the reason for continuing to misrepresent their service until you dig 20 layers deep in docs.

I hope he follows it up with another apology about the horrible unreadable text on that website. Good luck with that career, though, bud. You're going to need it.

Developers did not drive this, users did. I don't develop off what I like but what my analytics tell me.

Is there any benefit to still having multiple rendering engines out there? Should IE move to webkit? Firefox? Should prefixes now be -ms-webkit and -opera-webkit so browser makers can still innovate?

I run a site that is not technical at all, it's a legal site related to divorcing fathers. Last year the site had 1,111,795 total visits and 5429 of them were from Opera. So I'm not sure who is this community that cares that much about Oper

Well, maybe you want the HTML formatting without the styles or all the CSS classes. Say you wanted to do something like grab all the docs off a website and then apply your own styling or put them on an internal reference. I can see that bei

This market is not established and is rapidly evolving. There's zero reason to assume pricing in the virtual computing market will stabilize anytime soon. Plus these services are not equal, he makes a pretty clear point that DO offers less

You're WAAAAAAY past the fundamental problem IMO. The problem is not the king, it's the entire court. The US now has a dysfunctional relationship with a federal government that continually grabs powers they don't have.

That's a BS argument, that's like saying Windows servers are better than Linux because they cost more. There's no reason to distrust them SOLELY because they are cheap. You're getting 1/4th the cores, that's why it's so cheap.

They claim forever if you read the comments on the article. It seems likely if they're limiting CPU access.

A lot of people use Windows, that doesn't attest to quality.
