It would probably be interesting to know what type of companies these are. I see the majority has voted $0 salary. Are these companies that have employees, office space, payroll, etc? Or are these projects that one or two friends are wor

Ah, so much for Wikipedia! Well I guess that goes to prove my point even further than CEOs can appear to be making no salary but are actually receiving tons of money.

Yes this article is somewhat misleading in my opinion. I would imagine that a lot of CEOs only pay themselves a fraction of their income through typical payroll. Steve Jobs famously paid himself $1 salary. Although in his case he apparen

They do an OK job if everything is absolutely positioned and the PSD is really clean with layers for everything. But that isn't really acceptable these days where a good conversion is expected to be responsive and interactive. I think

Does anybody know what technology is used for the Spotify desktop apps? I was poking around to see if I could figure it out. It seems like something perhaps written in C with a hybrid of widget toolkit and HTML. I was just curious becaus

This happened to me last year. A young guy with a wife and two kids hit his head getting out of a cab and died a few days later from sudden complications. He was the life of the party type of guy, kinda like the Kramer of the group. Real

I think you have valuable and interesting things to say. I was actually in a band when you first started CD Baby and we emailed a few times until we ultimately signed with a label. It's fantastic to see the success that came about do

I was thinking the same thing except more generally just being reasonably close to my family. It's kinda crazy when I was younger I would have thought nothing about just packing up and going anywhere. But you get older, you really st

Exactly - a great programmer would put his/her ego aside and become any one of these stereotypes if the situation demanded it. Sometimes it may be prudent to keep some old tech running. Other times it may be better to push the boundar

Hehe, no worries. It probably is somewhat due to our generations, but it may also be that as you age your salaries naturally will begin to diverge. And with a certain amount of success it's not exactly smart to go around broadcasting

I suppose it is true that when we turn 40 our brains rot. All we care about is keeping kids off of our lawn and catching the early-bird special. Many people don't like to share their salary - not because they wouldn't "dare&

They mention the compatibility of the projects unit tests with their own testing so perhaps WordPress has some things in their test setup that didn't fit. They mentioned CakePHP as another example that wasn't included.

It would seem more fair to charge for the privilege of making calls (either access to a talking area, or a seat in a talking area). But, of course it would probably be an easier sell to say "hey, pay an extra $50 so that you don't

Backbone does in the docs recommend "bootstrapping" your data to eliminate the round-trip to get the initial JSON. I personally don't usually do that myself since the call to the server for JSON doesn't have a significa

I love this kind of ingenuity to modify things. I have to admit in my old age I'm getting a little out of touch and I don't relate very well with crafting your bedroom into living quarters. Though I remember the days of having r

As far as I know this is a DIY solution for what companies sell as a "bonded" internet connection..? I spent weeks trying to get a reliable setup for streaming concerts in HD from all varieties of spotty WiFi and 4G hotspots. The

The authors also seems to lack backbone and hedges his bets with a final sentence. Something to the effect that bitcoin will continue to do well as long as government is not doing well. Despite the link-bait title, he doesn't seem to

Ah, well that is good to know - thank you! I have been thinking of heading to Whistler but it's just quite a trek for me to get there (from Chicago). It looks fantastic.

This is a great piece and probably mirrors the process that a lot of us have gone through over the years. I know it definitely rang true for me. I would hazard to guess that functional programming or any other solution will go through the

Definitely true a bitcoin-related app is going to have a much greater percentage of hitting people with bitcoin wallets than, say, a crack for photoshop. But, the point being that any software from an unknown or untrusted source should be

I am so cheering on FTB and salivating for a sweet, sweet verdict against the patent troll. Seeing someone like Eileen Shapiro named and shamed plus forced to pay $200k court costs would be the most wonderful Christmas gift ever!

There's nothing really unique about this compared to any other app that you allow to run on your computer. It's a great reason to only install from trusted sources and be very wary of cracked software, keygens, etc.

We should change the word "lobbying" to "bribing" and then it would make more sense to the average person.
