Believing anything is good, takes a special kind of delusion. To have and behold one opinion is... well there is history that shows where that goes. Let us not single out JS specifically as a 'special kind of delusion'. We've all seen 'delu

Sounds kind of crazy to not test engines under real world conditions. What I mean is not be able to test it under conditions found during actual work (found in the air) prior to release.

How can we assume Brightbox won't raise prices? How can we assume Amazon won't raise base prices, possibly affecting the spot market, then again this is a spot market! It's like asking how can you assume stock prices (not exactly equiv, but

I don't want people knowing what services I signed up for even if mainstream. Anytime you leak any user info you potentially weaken security.

True, but enterprise and edu account for roughly 90% of total R&D in 2011 [1]. One look at the list will show you how much of 'high-tech' R&D was attributed to RIM alone[2]. But what of the Tar Sands though? Looks like the total R&#

"is another shot in the arm for our burgeoning startup community" still doesn't mean "tech sector" or 1.XB of R&D spending _Per Year_. These shots are but a drop in the bucket, and that is the point. Long term entrenched growth what thi

I agree and that would seem so, but why then all the hate from Java developers no less?

+1 on the sentiment though I'm not fully understanding why this would be useful for me... To me this is like a crutch that the language itself cannot solve. Ultimately, Scala will be held back because of Java. Scala deserves to live on by i

It's an issue I see when things go public. Public then mainstream. As such mainstream users mean mainstream docs. So my evaluation was in those eyes. The most important thing to gain is refinement that can be learned for the next lib you ma

Yeah and I 100000% thank you for contributing!!! It is a great contribution to the community and personally, regardless of my or other's personal technicalities.

True, but taking that aside and focusing on practicality, both underscorejs and Preludejs together provide one heck of a toolbox. I really enjoy functional programming a great deal and have been using it every which place I can the last sev

My interaction with this 'team' came earlier, where I wouldn't email replies nor pertinent information even when forwarded by 'big names' (to get attention). This only backs up my impressions and feedback from others. As a founder you need

Google still and probably will always appeal to me as a team I'd join to solve hard problems. Even if they invent some of those problems themselves. I'm all for seeing your family but I think you can strike a balance. Google can put in a si

Rebrand as the others have said. If you really want to segment users you can rebrand by city, that is a new app per city. This would also afford you another means to A/B beta test features. Personally anytime I see "social" I stay away. Oth

And then when there are no cashiers and customer service is at an time low someone will say hey let's put dedicated staff on the line! Customers will be happier and sales might go up! Honestly we need to strike a balance.

I bought Maxtor back in the day because of their customer service. I also recommended them to everyone I knew. Without at least good customer service I don't know what I'll do. I would pay $200+ for a 250-500GB if I knew the thing would abs

I think as developers we try to put our experiences in to patterns that we can repeat or at least have the illusion of repeating (to ourselves, or others). Ultimately, you can do all these things but still not have a successful startup. The

"There will never be native CoffeeScript" Sure, but we'll learn from CoffeeScript and apply it to the next ECMA ver. The CoffeeScript discussion is a worthy one, but declaring it unworthy to have a seat at said table prevents progress. I'd

The numbers for 150k through 11m are very believable. However the 'greater than $11M' is really looking like a totally anomaly. http://opani.com/dirk/crunch-acquisitions/results/#key=(redu...

Save as much as you can. Be prepared to work very long hours, back to the 100+ hour routine. Downsize everything so your runway is longer. Be prepared to spend less time with your family and with your wife. My honest opinion, let your side
