I rather enjoyed the article, but the fact that: * The site isn't https by default * Going to https://www.blueleaf.com (or non-www) shows an untrusted warning in Firefox made me weary of signing up. It looks like a beautiful servic

It is cool. I once ran OpenGLForums.com and when the movie Blade was really popular, I ran a contest to make a 3D movie programmatically about Blade and the winner would win the sword (or a replica, rather) from the movie. Unfortunately, it

I'd prefer to donate their organs to science/living people who need them more. This is neat, and I'm sure the tradition behind it is interesting, but there's far more useful things to do with the dead.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to work with this guy. Working at Google may not be like a starup, but you're with some of the most intelligent and well respected developers in the industry working on products that when launched, will instantly

I love reading posts like this. As a long time PHPer, I've pretty much exhausted my learning with the language. I rather enjoy it, and I'll probably always develop in it, but this post makes me seriously want to consider investigating Erlan

Absolutely, Collected is a great collection of their best work, and Mezzanine is great as well. Surprisingly, another piece of music that's great to listen to is the soundtrack from the movie Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner. It's great for co

A more genuine title would've been: "How I made one client with a tremendous amount of traffic an extra $500k a year". It's not like someone implemented a new feature that brought in an extra $500k.

I'm glad I learned sales experience in college. Like most programmers, I have a tendency to be introverted and avoid people to just do my work. However, in college I forced myself to take two very outward jobs: Resident Adviser and Personal

Do what incredibly successful SomethingAwful does: it's pretty much free to browse and read (but saturated with ads) or you can pay $10 for life, and rid yourself of most ads and post content. It removes 99% of the shitheads and creates a g

Here's a good article you might want to read I just discovered on the Parenting Reddit: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/familyadvice/3355719/Idle-... Of course, a new born obviously requires a lot of attention (I have a 3 month old), bu

Happy to see PHP be taken more seriously around here. Trust me, we're not all moronic programmers using register globals, magic quotes, and other abominations originally available in PHP. This is a pretty cool project.

Some of these frameworks still say they're PHP4 compliant. That's no longer a feature but a detriment, please stop using it. If your host can't be bothered to upgrade to a somewhat recent version of PHP5, I'd switch hosts.

Exactly, I love this type of advertising. It's useful, pretty, non-intrusive and works well. It's the same way Mint advertises by having large infographics. They're pretty to look at and advertise Mint at the same time.

Advertising on forums that are specific to what you're selling. I sell firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition, so I spend a great deal of time on forums. One of the best is SomethingAwful. They have a sub-forum dedicated to firearms,

Yup, when you have very little to spend on ads, they're mostly a waste of money I've found, especially if you're in a competitive industry with big name players already established. Build a good name by word of mouth: you spend nothing and

A lot of other posters are saying that the web dev you're doing is boring (and as someone who's been doing it for 10 years, I can concur). Setting up the 1000th Wordpress blog or making a basic 10 page website gets boring after a while. So,

Shouldn't it work oppositely? Prevent the post from appearing until you explicitly approve it from a link in an email.

Oh, you're totally right, but you know Google could implement a competent phone support system. And I love correspondence by email as well, but it appears Google even goes to great lengths to avoid that (this case exempting).

I love Google as much as the next guy, but how could a legitimate business that handles money not have a phone number to call to speak to a human to resolve this? It's absolutely ridiculous that they can threaten your livelihood and not hav

People are impulsive, but businesses aren't. If you're some guy wanting to start transaction, you might need a smaller solution. For businesses, I think they want a big set up process because it makes the managers feel safer.
