As far as I know, yes. This is what I do. Ironically, doing so and thereby solving the issue he's blogging about makes it impossible to comment via Disqus on the 42floors blog.

If you select PHP, you get "So you like your variable names to include dollar signs? That's cool, everyone misses Perl once in a while." Making smartass remarks about their language of choice is not a great way to initiate a relationship wi

This is precisely it. I found an extraordinary mason recently from a friend's referral. He has zero online presence. When I asked him about that, he said "why would I get a website when I already have more work than I can handle?" Being kno

For certain people in certain circumstances, they won't do the gobsmacking, business-killing thing they've been doing. It's not so much a step in the right direction as just tilting their head toward it.

I maintain that the ability to be silly is the measure of office (or community, or family) culture that matters most. It's indicative of being relaxed, confident, and comfortable with yourself and your relationships with others. That doesn'

The condescension in that post is galling. "Try to keep up here." "Again, say it with me:" "Please tell me you know people who aren’t as tech savvy as you. If you don’t, get to know some in order to maintain proper perspective." A lesson in

Attempting to figure out the country of origin for every lawsuit, law, and court case referenced on this site is ridiculous. It's difficult to parse it all even if it's clearly denoted, and it rarely is. Please, please add the country of o

This seems predicated on GitHub needing additional revenue. I don't think their announcement signalled that at all. GitHub accepted an investment partner. My assumption is that they got excellent terms since they are very cashflow-positive,

Yes, I was thoroughly confused until it clicked it was Canadian media. Can we get a bot on the news submitter that asks for a nation to be added when the headline says "Congress" or "Parliament" or "Supreme Court"? :P

While I agree with your take on what the game will be, I'm firmly in the "yes that's exactly what I want" camp. Update it a little, give me new levels, and for God's sake don't ruin it like they did Bomberman.

This seems hugely misleading as an economic barometer. Isn't it the case that real estate wealth was surging absurdly [in 2007], obscuring a rise in debt? If debt growth has leveled off, it seems like the story is Americans getting their sh

I'm on the opposite side of the equation: I quit using it after I discovered it was hiding my positive reviews of establishments I frequent. I refuse to trust anything on that site now.

Yes, I'd be far more interested if the author spent any time analyzing the data rather than dancing gleefully for a dozen paragraphs.

You're sure? I don't understand deafness to mean not sensing any vibrations whatsoever.

If that were my server, I'd pull the data needed and burn the hardware. Never use it again.

As a longtime online community manager, this piece strikes me as another entry in the time-honored tradition of "this place changed and now I don't like it" complaints. Yes, everything changes. No, it's not the same as when you joined. That

This perfectly encapsulates my unease about the MicroPHP Manifesto. Neither drummer was doing it wrong; they both chose the most fitting tools. The reviling of "overkill" solutions is a natural step in becoming an experienced developer but

I believe it was both necessary and not a nitpick. While I agree choosing Cake or Zend by default is a fool's errand, the MicroPHP Manifesto read like someone who'd just found CodeIgniter for the first time.

I already moved all my domains after their CEO's elephant hunting earlier this year. That company is a pit of depravity.

While I don't condone it, it's easy to understand Apple's reasoning. The longer they can delay the standardization of touch events, the easier it is for them to maintain dominance in the tablet and phone markets with their UX design & p

I now own a vibrant community website, started in 2000, that was compromised & erased in 2003. The previous owner had no backups. Hundreds of articles, tens of thousands of forum discussions, and hundreds of thousands comments were lost

My experiences are identical. Their notion of community is tragic.
