thiswebhost.com appears to be hosted on LiquidWeb's servers, which makes me think it might be a reseller account for Sonet7 (reseller hosting owned by LiquidWeb). I know a couple of people who resell white-label cPanel hosting, and it's def

I hate to say it, but when you go with bargain basement hosting, you're often going to get bargain basement quality. I'm sure we've all heard horror stories of shared hosting providers, but personally I've had one just completely disappear,

It's doubly worse at a porn company. People already half-expect you to be scamming them somehow, and come into it with apprehension if not outright hostility. The upshot is when you give them amazing customer service, they turn into instant

This doesn't just bug me for URLs that are shorter than the t.co URL, but also when I'm posting a link to a website and I want people to see the full URL. e.g. It is often sufficiently descriptive to tweet "This is a great site: http://act

I use MacVim. Keyboard navigation works great for me when moving around small areas, but I use the scrollwheel and clicking all the time for moving around larger areas of a file (and for navigating NERDtree).

This might sound kind of trivial, but the lack of split panes (and no hope on the horizon) is what finally pushed me over the edge to learning vim. Haven't looked back :)

You have to consider two things though: 1) They pay good salaries. 2) They are not seeking an exit strategy, and this is merely a "just in case" scenario. I would guess that most technical and executive hires come to the company with full k

That's what I was going off of. It's a pretty big "dot dot dot" on the end of the article.

It certainly is an interesting possibility that quantum entanglement could play a role in the brain, but my understanding is that a member of an entangled particle pair would still need to be mechanically transported to a different location

This might be taking a step back toward fluff from programs like WriteRoom, but I really like typing up blog posts with OmmWriter: http://www.ommwriter.com/en/ It's just relaxing. Edit: The site makes it look like it's only for iPad at fi

I have no idea whether or not pg is a prude. What I meant was that it's a hyper-competitive, highly saturated market and most porn companies these days are "innovating" with traffic generation and content, and not with technology or novel b

It's hard to imagine YC funding a porn company, but I will say from experience that there are worse jobs than being a programmer at a porn company. Aside from the fun parties and social work atmosphere, it can be very technically challengin

Pretty nice, but I actually do really like having gemsets. It gets me as close to the production environment as possible, plus it makes it really easy to clean up unused gems when I'm done with a project.

I think maybe on a macro level, but microbial life seems likely to be pretty similar to ours. Even on a macro scale though, I imagine you'd probably see some of the same themes (assuming an Earth-like planet): photosynthesis, bilateral symm

With homebrew I didn't even have to do that, since the Lion upgrade leaves /usr/local and launchd alone. The only rough spot I had was installing the App Store version of XCode, because I was a dumbo and installed the beta version of XCode

While I've tried using various distros of Linux as my primary OS (and I used to really love hacking and tweaking my UI like crazy), I'll say that nowadays I want an environment that I can hack on when I need to, but that I rarely need to h

I think this is probably directly or indirectly responsible for the recent health and longevity kick people have been on in the Bay area. Many people in their 20s-40s are right at the age where we can see some of the amazing things on the h

Accelerando by Charles Stross (available for free here: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelera... ) has a great take on the whole idea (and is just a great novel for futurists in general). Its conjecture is that phy

No hyperbole here, but Underscore.php might actually convince me to start taking on PHP projects again. I got spoiled by other languages.

Although I am deeply unreligious and disagree with much of what the Vatican says regarding birth control etc, I've been impressed with the Vatican's statements in past years re: the Big Bang, evolution, aliens, etc. The Vatican's chief astr

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe Coca-Cola successfully protected "Cola" from being genericized by asserting that the generic term was "cola drink". Pepsi is now just known as Pepsi, and the company's name is now PepsiCo instead

This might be a long shot, but try deleting the project.xcworkspace directory for your project. I've heard doing that can speed things up.

I think it MIGHT be worth it for some specialized niche that isn't covered yet, but yeah I've tried several Rails-oriented IDEs like RubyMine, etc. and nothing really "feels" right compared to XCode. For some reason, using Eclipse doesn't r

Are you using the new disk-wide FileVault in Lion? I had to turn that off because it was making MacVim and XCode both run horribly slow (apparently they both write to disk constantly).

I find myself trying to do vim keystrokes in XCode, but I've tried using vim for editing iOS code and it's just not as enjoyable as using XCode. I use vim for everything else, though.

2xSaI would be amazing on both Android and iPad. If it can breathe new life into SNES games, it would probably work nicely on apps.
