My opinion is you are just a pessimist. They just have a slow ass system and his app is slowing it down even more. If their app was fast at the start of the semester, they wouldn't care. If he can figure out how not to add load to the sy

Do you have a google account? All you do is click on the google icon on the stackoverflow login page and put in your info. It's not that difficult. It's certainly easier than creating a new account. Also the point of the article you are

"High school is a massive, pointless waste of time. It's like prison." Maybe parts of it. In that it's extremely unlikely in ten years you'll talk to more than one person from your high school, but you'll still talk to many of your friends

Awesome advice! Don't worry if your school has an AP class (they are mostly busted). I think you can even take the AP exams multiple times (if you don't do so well the first time).

Like the other posters said, look into taking classes at your local college. If your grades are good enough in HS, it won't be a problem. Take something like econ 101 (not programming) or physics. Depending on the school you can take clas

I'd like to know a little more about the end... he says they switched back to private salaries and then a bit later half of the team left and half got merged into another company. Uh, that sounds like a bad result (but may have been totall

Unpaid internships are becoming EXTREMELY common (if not in the CS field, certainly elsewhere). In NYC this used to be only the case for fashion, but has now spread to basically every other industry. We had a discussion the other day at lu

Another problem not mentioned is this business model doesn't scale well for the companies it targets. It isn't just Get Satisfaction's pages you have to check... it's UserVoice's as well, and I'm sure there are others. If people have a pro

All it says is that your customers could be bad google searchers. Jason pointed out that depending on what you search for GS is the 3rd hit on google. It's not fair that I should have to compete with other people for my own product on Goog

"I think it puts the impetus on companies to either really flush out their support processes, or to find a vendor that will do it for them." I have to say, I think you're missing the complaint. It's not against them providing support FOR C

That's not true. Some of the great earlier episodes had HUGE blowups between Ramsay and the not fit for kitchen people. Watch the Babylon, NY episode, or the one about the Indian restaurant in NYC. I think you fail to consider that the pla

You should clarify that saltwater is easy if your tank is FISH ONLY. Reef tanks ARE difficult.

I feel that this is a function of the size of the community plus the type of people in that community. As it gets larger, it gets filled with more of the type you don't want. Compare the Joel on Software discussion forum with the Business

For your tanks, how do you do water changes? Where's the protein skimmer? the carbon filters? How will people make sg 1.025 water in their office? Saltwater tanks are a LOT of work. I'm just curious if jellies are somehow easier (like hav

The title is misleading. The blog post author states his estimate is they made $3mm last year and may make $5mm this year, not $8 million / year.

To be fair, that team has tried to do this with tags. If you want to see a sub view, you can. I think it's a typical programmer fallacy to look at the technology behind SO and say, "Hey, that could be used to answer anything, like plumbing
