I had to spend a lot of time to find monitors that use technology with a decent vertical viewing angle. Nowadays most LCDs use cheaper techs like TN panels that only give a good viewing angle when used horizontally. You have to look for mon

Use a vertical monitor for your code editing. Having twice as many lines of code in front of you at once makes a big difference. Most skeptics haven't really tried it. Stop wasting time obsessing about the best coding setup and the best edi

Some countries have special forces operating in Somalia hunting these guys down. Parading and bragging about how much money he's earned makes him a target.

Can't wait for Twitter to join Myspace in the slow death club. This move is certainly a step in that direction.

The companies providing the APIs don't have to justify the "why". When I was working on Facebook applications a few years ago they would change the API calls and rules almost monthly, app developers had to adapt or die. The changes were oft

Facebook already updates their API and policies very regularly, nothing they give an application access to can be given for granted in the long term. Especially when it deals with private content. When your service is dependent on another,

It looks like he's using APIs, which means that he can only index as much data as the services are willing to provide. They can squeeze him out of business by shutting down or reducing access to the data whenever they please. Or just add to

My thoughts exactly, also that of story reminds me of many articles published in the bubble era, as do many valuation and funding stories lately.

Looks nice, but who would bother creating an account to see if there are any job offers on that site? What's the point of forcing candidate registration if access is free?

If interfaces like reason's and ultrabeat's were the best UI possible for music software, then the interface for Final Cut Pro would be a rack of virtual VCRs and assorted machines, maybe even a bench for cutting and taping virtual pieces o

Only some of the data, when it makes sense to use that technique. Most of the data fetching on our pages is still done the old-fashioned MVC way. You can keep the best of both worlds by carefully selecting which parts you decide to defer. T

I think you misunderstood the article, the point of that technique is to greatly reduce the amount of database calls. We don't "pepper the templates with database calls", to the contrary, we avoid doing them on the spot like a bad implement

Yeah, I think you have a good understanding of what we do. It gives a lot of control over when, in which order and how you group your data needs, and allows you to "drop" promise objects in the output. You can create dependencies between pr

A good example would require an entire source tree, as the full technique requires a different structure and flow of code for the entire application. That's why I found it a bit hard to fit into an article. Anyway, I'll give a shot at givin

When we deployed it, I started by adding only the overhead (output buffering and storing the output in a tree to render it later) throughout the entire codebase. When I benchmarked the before/after of this step, the performance difference o

disclaimer: I'm the author of the article I can share more details about how we use it. I didn't feel like giving code samples because our implementation is kind of "besides the point". People might find better ways to implement the same co
