TechCrunch is just a joke. I would never go there outside of HN posts, but it's really amusing to see how self-important a bunch of hipster bloggers can be when writing about people doing actual work. The puff pieces that they run as the ma

Old article is old. In the 4 years since this article was written, nothing much has changed. You don't have an Ari Gold because the economics of software recruitment are different from that of the fictionalized A-list acting crowd. See othe

I'm newish to github and submitting pull requests but the OP's experience is very unfortunate and orthogonal to mine. People I don't know and who are better devs than I am have all been very nice. I started using a small PHP framework plugi

Watch out, we've got a badass over here. Not so much 'news' but perhaps a quick hack, nice reminder, a quick intro for the less experienced (who may not know what they are missing in the first place). Or perhaps someone who has set this up

No, I did not. I deleted my facebook account a year ago, and this was a new email on a domain I created a month ago. Edit: must have been my mobile number, though I can't remember if I went through the confirmation/security step for this on

If that's the case, then the Facebook app I can't delete from my Verizon Incredible has full access to read my Mail configurations. Edit: (and then correlate the account I used to use for Facebook to my newer LLC FB account I use for testin

Yahoo's been profitable for a long time, but their imminent death has been on the books for years. No growth, so the stock doesn't increase. Facebook was somehow hyped as being above the middling concerns that every other public company mus

I deleted my account a year ago but just signed up with a new account so I could test results for contract projects. From account deletion, to clearing out my OS X and installing Lion on a new SSD, and using a fresh email for the new signup

I used Ubuntu for laptops for about 6 years. I moved to Mac because Linux laptops were no longer allowed for the new company. I don't really understand the shock from early adopters that core things have changed. In Ubuntu, I wouldn't compe

I drove delivery during high school and college, and did food service work as well. I really enjoyed delivery and did pretty well for a younger person working on tips. I tried working for one of those 'food taxi' companies, who provide deli

So because the private licensing terms offered were not optimal for PadMapper, it follows that PadMapper should just ignore their public licensing altogether?

What is your point, master philosopher? Government accountability is a complete joke, but we should expect and demand better.

by mikescar 14y ago
Yes, it has happened. I'm comfortable forming an opinion based on the facts available. As I said in my comment, I'd like more info since it's ostensibly a public function to run a government court. Otherwise we can all just run around with

But what's the difference really? Zynga games vs. non-Zynga games, slot machines vs. WoW, and games vs drugs? All of these things are designed to let you go somewhere else for a while. I partake in all of them, but also spend time volunteer

Well, we know that they both pled guilty. That's publicly available. Other than that major point, we don't have context. Yes, I would like everything to be public so we know what we're paying for. I'm going to 'pass judgement', and leave yo

Victim's rights? More human policy-making? I wish. Apparently not, guess the GP must be right and the victim got what was coming to her. It's insane how detached we've become from the real world. Arguing about patents and iOS vs Android an

Two people pled guilty to sexual assault, in a public courtroom that we all fund to some degree. You "hope grace prevails"? Are you trolling? Grace for the victim, or the attackers? Whom, if they were a couple years older would have their n

How is it that only the girl's name is released and published in the article? Seems like if the two guys pleaded guilty, we should know all of the parties involved.

This is not an example of a controversial issue. The consensus for years has been to store a path in the DB to a file resource, and if you store images in the DB you should have a really compelling, edge-case reason to do so.

I've found it's networking, all the way. A lot of random work will come from the ether once you've done good work for a few clients, and then they recommend you to their contacts. I quit my full-time a couple months ago and it's how I've go

git: 'clone' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. What? I don't know if this is allowed later and everything is sandboxed.

If I was being called out as a liar after being very public about a business deal, I would lose my sense of tact also. Seriously, how much of the hate is from folks that will never have this opportunity, wouldn't do it the same way even if
