What specifically about Ruby leads you to prefer it over Python? Are there better/more modules or is the language itself more expressive or powerful in some way? Also, was there a specific reason you chose Sinatra over Rails? I'm not famili

His autobiography, incidentally, is one of the finest I've read. Even those with no interest in history will find it enjoyable.

The comments about alienating the development community aside, the post just seems to be the constantly rehashed "it has no revenue model, thus it will fail," argument. I don't necessarily disagree, but I certainly don't think this blog pos

Two especially interesting nodes (95, 91). On one you either win or you die on the next page. On the other you win no matter what.

TakeComics, one of the companies mentioned, has the absolute worst copy ever on their landing page. It is rife with grammatical and spelling errors. A fine example of how to turn off visitors.

I think there's a risk of overgeneralizing here. The title may hold true for world-class athletes , but the author offers nothing to suggest this would be causally related to performance in business.

True, but you also wrote "So there may be a way to capture more of the market Segway hoped to reach [by redesigning it to make the operator look more active]". In all honesty, for how many people do you think "how I look while riding it" is

And here I thought the reason the Segway never caught on was because it was prohibitively expensive to own and didn't fulfill any real need.

Given the sheer number of startups, isn't this a rather statistically likely outcome for at least one individual from a purely random perspective?

"If you build artificial intelligence but don’t think about its moral sense or create a conscious sense that feels regret for doing something wrong, then technically it is a psychopath," says Josh Hall, a scientist who wrote the book Beyon

The obvious difference between this project and CD rippers (a device to which they compare themselves many times on the site) is that the CD ripper is basically "fire-and-forget", while this seems to be an intensely manual process. The site

Excuse my naivete (I'm not a Twitter user), but what is the purpose of artificially inflating your number of followers without tweeting anything interesting? Are there straightforward ways to monetize this solely based on your number of fol

Code itself has no agenda. You would reject code solely on the basis of its submitter even if it adds desired functionality (which seems to be the case here)? That's an extremely slippery slope.

"Here's a company we heard about, trying to do something that sounds ridiculous. They won't tell us how they're going to do it, nor will they name any of their clients. They have funding, though, and since no funded startup ever failed, we

The first stage of being a programmer is having heard of programmers but not being one yourself? In that case, I'm a first stage surgeon, concert pianist, and fighter pilot.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought Amazon capriciously decided to remove this themselves. I was merely saying, in all honesty, how often is a publisher going to withdraw all online copies of a book? It's in neither the publisher's nor Am

I had this on my Kindle and didn't realize it had been deleted until I read the story here. The email from Amazon is in the "Your Amazon.com Order #XXX..." format familiar to anyone who buys kindle content regularly, so many will not even r
