I'm so weary of people pitching the solution to WordPress and then tossing a proprietary cloud hosted thing at me. That's a complete non-starter. All the time I hear from fellow devs "oh don't advertise you use WordPress

How does other people being able to now access the book for free affect you at all? Besides, you got the ebook, it's still not free.

Reg: Is there a way after reading the book to donate a few bucks in a tip jar? It's unlikely that I ever purchase this ebook but I would maybe like to toss a 10 spot your way for the value I will extract from this.

It seems like the hipster-as-a-pejorative thing started around the total collapse of the music industry in the mid-2000's and unfortunately was driven by indie scenesters who resented the influx of popularity when say, Modest Mouse had

In general, the point of something like castle doctrine is to maintain defense of life, not property. If I went down to the edge of my property and someone came onto my property and was not threatening me you can't then shoot them. The

I get what you're aiming at but if you're holding the shotgun, that's not government. Government is when I cede the right to protect my forest with a shotgun in order that a government entity will do it for me. We give govern

This is not about design or layout, it's about antiquated and unacceptable code. You could fix all the problems I'm complaining about and not change the look or feel one pixel. I'm actually surprised that any programmer worth

Oh right, I guarantee you this is correct. It's the popularity of high center of gravity cars like SUVs combined with a lack of driving ability. Nice thinking.

I agree with you but I think doing things like eliminating table layout and having some sort of improved experience on mobile would not affect usership at all. You could keep the look and feel the same. There are profound technical issues w

Not even an SUV. They only made it flat and crossover-looking so they didn't have to admit it's basically a hatchback. Far closer to a wagon, honestly.

This could actually be even lower on the highway as well due to the smart suspension (optional, but common) that lowers the car at highway speeds. Why are suspensions softer in the US? Is that simply related to the fact that a large slice o

That's why you get paid. Plenty of people build cool stuff in their garages and never distribute it to the world. Lots of people worked hard for the money they pay to these companies, too. That's no excuse for incivility though.
