I've worked for a big Scribd competitor (bigger than Scribd by some measures) and I am blown away that they would move in this direction. Those saying that they are not taking a great risk are missing the point in a serious way. In this bus

Upvoted for some very good comments in that reddit thread (a lot more balanced than here, surprisingly.)

Try imagining that you are in a (contemporary) large city in the subcontinent and you will feel right at home: - No sidewalks or discernible rules of the road - Cycles, cars, trams and horse buggies all mixing it up - People standing around

Nasty. I haven't seen it before even though the app sees a fair amount of use. Do you have the complete stack trace? Any unusual browser / configuration?

If you use Java it is a no-brainer: GWT. You can check out our app for an example: http://demo.teampostgresql.com . It is a fairly complex AJAX app written 99% in plain Java. GWT automatically compiles the source to JavaScript targeting di

A lot of comments miss the point that the table should allow you to stand OR sit - standing all day is probably as hard on the back and legs as sitting. That rules out most of the DIY options. I also wouldn't trade away a properly crafted d

Here in Denmark motorized desks are the norm rather than the exception. I am always surprised when others speak of them as a curiosity. I tend to stand for about 25-50% of my time working. It really relieves the back to get up and shift aro

I don't get the difference? The important thing is that this kind of video is made publically available. Who cares what commentary the publisher chooses to make alongside of it and how is that different from what you get from any of the mai

Again, thanks for your comments, I believe you are right. Particularly administrators are less concerned with what is in the database than how the database is organized and performs - for them the product does not currently offer any partic

Thanks for the comments, I do appreciate the input. A couple of advantages over pgAdmin for an offsite database is that it will not drop connections, and it can easily be configured for SSL using https. Also, clients don't have to install a

Thanks, will fix. It is actually a permission getting denied for the demo account (there is an error message being obscured by the progress dialog). Note that it should work fine when you run as administrator.

Good luck, been following you since Business of Software and the launch of uISV on a Shoestring. I have always been curious about what you could do if you put your dedication and talent to work in a larger market. By the way, I've made the

How does that work? Supposedly a bran muffin is high in fiber which would help digestion and prevent constipation.

Penny Arcade is an awesome example of somebody succeeding just by doing what they enjoy and giving a damn about "monetization" and "business models". They really make you wonder if traditional business has it all backwards. Jerry Holkins (T

I like Crazy Egg, but when I used it it the scripts absolutely killed my site's load time. That was around a year and a half ago, I don't know if it has improved since.

Java must be the best example I know of a technology that is so solid that it has survived every kind of adversity and ill-conceived marketing, eventually finding a niche anywhere but where it was intended to go. Paul's, and most other crit

What I don't get is why he doesn't block the guys jerking off? If +5 people report the feed as offensive then blacklist the IP for a couple of hours or something like that. That would instantly improve the site's appeal a lot.

This is one of the greatest insights that I have had lately - throwing stuff out is liberating and makes you feel physically lighter . Sorry to repeat you verbatim but that is exactly how I feel. I fight with my wife over this. She wants t
