I think it's great that you take the high road and don't resort to dragging other people through the mud. You definitely seem to place the responsibility all on yourself, which I imagine is not always the full truth. Not providing

It's a valid point. I think that certain types of ideas do require capital to start. Uber, for example, probably needed a lot of capital to get their infrastructure going. If you have web-based startup with minimal expenses then inves

I was definitely curious about that too - inquiring minds want to know!

I really appreciated this article. I'm on year 5 of my "startup" which has struggled and kicked and clawed and just barely hit profitability at the end of last year. I have to admit that it feels totally uncool that we have h

One thing that I've noticed about people who are awkward at conversation is that they may be fine with WHAT they say, but they often don't know WHEN to have a conversation. For instance you probably will not have great luck makin

Your tax advice is that if an S-Corporation brought in $80k and incurred $65k of legitimate, legal expenses, that the proprietor should run something more than $15k through payroll because of the "going rate" for developers or for

Thank you I neglected to mention I was talking about an S-corporation.

Great question. Some BnB hotels and condo rentals do have reservation systems that let you choose the specific room. They tend to be places where each room is unique or separately owned, though. As for why you can't pick your room in

(Sorry in advance for this long, rambling response) This applies to the US and forgive me if you have already done some of this. The first step is to get your corporation set up (use an online service or an accountant). It's a bit o

I've always felt like I had some deficiency when it came to viewing stacked area charts. I rarely liked them but couldn't put my finger on why (not that I really gave it much thought). This article's explanation of our eye&

This is really cool - I found it interesting relating the "job satisfaction" statistic with various other things like "hours per week: fixing bugs" or "hours per week: meetings." It goes pretty much as you wou

To my ears, even though you've given some specific examples, your advice is really "get out there and hustle." I totally agree. You should do anything and everything you can think of to get your foot in the door. Hitting the

It's probably true there were ways to get yourself into real trouble before the Internet. I guess phone phreaking or calling in threats and such. Still it seems like there's a lot more temptation out there for a kid to cause mis

To be honest, I don't think it is a huge issue for personal use. But when you're running a businesses then it becomes important to pay attention to software licenses. If you intend to get big enough to where you'll be audit

I don't find the photo particularly scandalous, but taken in the context of the tech industry issues with sexism, it definitely shows a lack of awareness on the part of the organizers. I would hate to see us become so politically corre

I kinda thought the same thing. Finding the perfect navigation can be a huge challenge for larger apps. Though I agree with the article that it's important to analyze and be critical of your app structure as much as possible. As far

Not sure if that was meant as sarcasm, but I'll take it as a real question..! Being a mediocre Objective C programmer myself, I really like the look of Swift. The difficulty of programming for iOS (or any platform) is partly the langua

It's interesting to read that, aside from actual design "mistakes" this article also includes some, I would say, etiquette based suggestions which seem innocence/naive in hindsight. It wasn't too much earlier than t

They link over to this site from the Apple page about Swift http://swift-lang.org/ - I couldn't tell if they are the same thing or if Apple Swift is just based off of this..?

The docs definitely indicate that some magic is occurring but they don't say exactly how. Perhaps If the first parameter contains the word "With"? They do explicitly state that initializers will get "init" and &quo

It's a kinda strange thing. Before the digital age kids like myself just did not have access to many things that could get them into so much trouble. I caused my share of mischief when I was a kid, just like most boys will do. Probably

I think I remember reading that that is something already being used as a loophole. So, closing the loopholes would have to include this particular strategy. I have no idea how that would be done or if our lawmakers will ever try to do so.

A more appropriate title for the article would be "How to improve your writing" but I suppose that's not very dramatic. Perhaps the title of the article was actually the first lesson in a wax-on, wax-off kinda way and we all

I'm really curious about html apps being deployed in native shells and this was actually my first introduction to atom-shell. Does anybody have any experience developing with it? It appears to have everything I would need but so far

I'm not 100% sure your point but if you release work under the GPL then yes, you are giving people explicit permission to copy and share your work under those conditions. But, to use that as an example, if you enjoy pirating music and

I find both examples unethical. However, I never expressed an opinion on the unfairness of their prosecution. You argue a point that I never made. I don't think they should be treated like murders and neither should a GPL infraction. T

I have my own feelings about it which that it is not really theft, but perhaps it is worth considering that the work of musicians and artists is devalued. I hear a lot of rationalization about how the artists don't get any money anyway

by jakejake 12y ago
Yea I think that's true for musicians. I saw a Jimmi Hendrix interview about singing the blues when you are no longer poor. He said that sometimes the more money you have, the more blues you can sing! I thought that was pretty inter
