The problem is that older folks are very few and far between. You're right about shipping I think. My experience is only anecdotal, but older people, for me, have been the difference between shipping and floundering.

Not to defend ranker.com, but maybe maddox@xmission.com really isn't in their database. It's possible that someone is automatically forwarding a different address to maddox's inbox. It'd be worth examining the SMTP header of one of these me

I really don't want to mentally lump Facebook with Groupon. I hope we hear an official statement about this from Facebook.

My boss is a workaholic. I didn't think much of it at first. It's his company, I understand why he's putting so much effort into it. But it didn't take too long to start feeling the pressure from everyone to put in crazy hours like he is..

I wrote exponentially worse and worse code as the hours went on and then pushed right as I left for the “real life” component. None of that code ended up working. If only my boss would understand this.

Comcast, of course, says that its new, usage-based pricing policy is pro-consumer Comcast is not in the business of making-less-money.

I'm confused by this "greenshoe" business. To prevent the price of something from falling, you can: (1) Increase its demand. (2) Decrease its supply. Which one does the "greenshoe" do?

Worse than Daikatana, would be another APB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APB:_All_Points_Bulletin Development costs were in excess of $100 million.

Non-French here, but trying to learn. What's the difference between "manger le fromage" and "manger du fromage"?

I second that. I'd also love to see a tool which would allow you to provide a binary and tell you what built it.

iOS. Apple won't allow us to submit apps built with Xcode 4.1 forever. (4.1 was the last to include GCC.)

I'm in the same boat. A large code base relying on GCC and Boost heavily. The code builds with Clang, but the runtime crashes deep inside Boost. It's been very frustrating because we're well past the point where refactoring-out Boost would

That's a real shame. The client's impression of the wait staff is greatly influenced by the kitchen staff. That's why we would split our tips.

Or maybe skip the fancy UIs and recommend paying cash for tips? As someone who's worked service jobs in my youth, I'd really like to stress the importance of cash over CC tips. Pay is usually abysmal and CC tips don't always make it into th

The idea of working 80 hours a week means you’re doing something really inefficiently, or you’re just warming your ass at the office on Facebook, Twitter or Youtube. I've seen this so many times! A friend of mine told me his emp

One other valid problem I've heard raised about git-based deploys is that you can end up with cruft in your working copy that sticks around like .pyc files where the original .py file is deleted and there is the chance that thi
