My wife is Japanese and we own a house in Saitama which is a little ways outside of Tokyo. I go about 3-4 times a year. I constantly get lost, even doing something as simple as walking the dog. It's not uncommon that I'll take photos of l

Everytime I see "X in N lines of Y code" I want to choke somebody because it's a disingenuous metric. I know it sounds like I'm nit picking, but it's really a giant pet peeve of mine. That is all.

Facebook isn't tiny. Delicious isn't tiny. Digg isn't tiny. Shit, even my little startup, massify.com isn't tiny. I think probably the reason that people don't write non-web applications in PHP is because that's not PHP's expressed purpose.

Dude if PHP is hard for you then you have a serious brain deficit. Nobody said anything about better languages, I don't think anyone would argue that point at all, so why you constantly feel the need to interject it in all of your criticism

I think if PHP is driving you crazy, you're doing it wrong. Get a good framework (Recess is the most promising, CodeIgniter is fairly sane).

I hope people don't take this as a rip but ... Says a lot when your product is cloned in a couple of days. Not that complexity means a better product, but you should at least expect this type of thing if you're app only took you a few days

Why would you not read their resume before the interview? I spend a good 30-45 minutes building a list of questions based entirely on the contents of their resume. I couldn't imagine just looking at a resume and then interviewing a person

Except he has done exactly what you've mentioned. Lamson, fwiw, is a pretty dope project.

Why do people purposely limit themselves due to an irrational allegiance to a brand? An allegiance that you pay for the privilege of having. Isn't the ideal that our choices always produce the best results? So why would you choose the cou

This site is the most aggravating thing I've ever f'ing used in my life. I can't post a link because I'm a new user? Are you f'ing kidding me? I can only post one answer every three minutes? Are you f'ing kidding me? Dudes, I'm an expert

Why would you mock this as a function call and not use __get() so that it shows up as a property: $config->databaseUrl; versus $config->getDatabaseUrl(); ?

All this link says to me is that the people who hang in comp.lang.javascript are all a bunch of smug pricks. David Mark comes across like a complete ass. And while his critique of jQuery might have some validity, his tone and attitude are

A couple of things... First, great app. Very useful. But, since most of these videos are already H.264 mpeg-4's, why the need for the conversion step, instead of simply wrapping it up in a quicktime container (if you even need to do that)?

Lamson is pretty awesome, been dicking around with it as a possible mailing list solution for projects on massify, but I can think of a kajillion things to do with it.

You're way over thinking the problem. I'm not so sure there is a "semantic contract" for comment blocks since they're made available via reflection. Comments are metadata after all. And this is more akin to annotations/attributes ala pytho

by jawngee 17y ago
Really? That's your contribution to the discussion? I have a lot of negative things to say about a lot of different languages, but I think what Kris has done with annotations in PHP is pretty cool, even if it is ultimately a hack. PS. Juno

You can do it with Slicehost's API. http://articles.slicehost.com/assets/2008/10/3/Slicehost_API...

Also, you are wrong. You can do that on slicehost with their API as well. In fact, with the slicehost api, you can take a snapshot of currently running system, and clone a new slice from that snapshot.

But he's talking about hosting, not staging. And what you are describing is a good use of EC2. Hosting 24/7 is not.
