I actually couldn't tell if it was intended to be a joke, a trolling, or perhaps the rantings of a lunatic. Putting in stuff like "federated bodies of the internet" and the "empire of LinkedIn" makes it seem like i

Not sure if the config file is intended to contain any sensitive info or not? If so it should probably be protected: http://www.sonnyjs.org/demo/config.json

great quote from a great movie. It's bizarre how much animal behavior we have in us when you look closely.

When I was younger and much more stupid, I told a joke once that in hindsight was homophobic. I in no way every considered myself homophobic whatsoever and it was just pure stupidity and thoughtlessness on my part. I was at a party and my

I kinda agree, a PR person of all people should be held accountable for making a terrible joke that comes off as racist. The problem is just the reaction of a mob of arm chair vigilantes thinking they are each delivering some unique tiny bi

Seems to be the way they have been moving for a while on the productivity apps. Now only iMovie and iTunes are left. It would be pretty ballsy (even for Apple) to drop the i and call the iPhone simply "Phone"!

The example is a little bit exaggerated, but basically if you have a major medical problem with huge bills, the insurance companies will look for a ways to get out of paying. It may not be right or even legal, but the process of disputing c

Your mention of exceptions to the GPL is probably what the OP was talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-licensing It might be a little tricky in the case of GPG since it is really a GPL port of the commercia

Nice work, clean looking. There is something to be said for a simple but useful app. I were going to ask for one more field, I'd like to see a field for the task owner (could just be simple text) at which point I think it would defini

It's nothing new, but this mindset can sneak up on you if you are not diligent. It rarely is so simple as A, B & C. As your software is evolving and improving, you could get off track on features that seem reasonable. It's ha

My parents completely hid all finances from me and my sister growing up. My mother in particular would be horrified to think that their kids were stressing out over mortgage and utility bills. They didn't have to sit down and show us

This kinda sucks because, even though Radio Shack has always sold kinda cheap quality components, there were always there when you needed an adapter or plug or cable immediately. It seems like there are a lot of good ideas here about what m

Since the article you point to is about programming then I'd assume your asking about the technical side of things rather that actually acquiring 5-10k users (which is very difficult). It's an interesting question, but as you have

I have tended to feel like you become an entrepreneur because you have a great idea - possibly from having worked in an industry and discovered an opportunity. Declaring one's self an entrepreneur first and then coming up with an idea

I don't have a problem with different types of content being treated differently. It's still a fair playing field for all providers of streaming music. I've always thought that carriers should be allowed to prioritize conte

You can kinda tell when a process is designed around fraud prevention, rather than being designed around user experience. Big companies make big targets and so they naturally become more risk averse.

I would personally alert your competitor before disclosing anything the public. As far as putting them out of business, I wouldn't be so certain of that outcome. For one thing the matter of PCI compliance is between your competitor and

I'm not at all surprised to learn of bots cruising github looking for keys. I think a good lesson is that if you ever accidentally expose your API key - revoke or delete them immediately and generate new key.

The neighborhood probably does make a difference just because that's where certain pizza joints are located (or where their original location started). Some people are extremely loyal to their favorite spot but most, like myself, are h

congrats - I agree with your approach of getting a real business working before worrying about solving every possible problem that will arise. It took my startup 6 years of hustling to become profitable (we're around 50k users now) and

I've used an app called Air Display to do the same thing for quite a while, but instead of USB it connects over WiFi - which is convenient, but the refresh rate is slow. I used it mainly to have my chat client on a 3rd screen.

If I were a DevOps person I would learn and master all of the AWS tools (as well as competitor services). It could be a great opportunity rather than a threat.

I have to agree that age alone doesn't necessarily mean anything. I know plenty of lazy, mediocre old programmers. But in order to run a project it does help to have gone through many project launches using different methodologies. Tha

yea that is kinda what I was thinking as far as why native GUI widgets wouldn't be a good idea - because that leads down the path of long-running stateful UI process which I think is very un-PHP in lots of ways!

A cool. I knew there was some type of thread support. I figured most PHP devs would be more comfortable with the short running "page" concept rather than diving into threads and long-running stateful apps. Anyway, I feel the same

I can see this being pretty useful for utility type apps on the desktop. If you already have a lot invested in PHP then it seems like it would be really comfortable. Since it's basically just running a local server, it's going t

I don't really blame twitter, they're just using information that is being sent to them. The carriers who add these headers are to blame.
