This is interesting, but the home page is the most coherent and readable on the site. Better resources look to be: The Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/243958412369802/ And google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/?

Personally I’d never claim to offer extraordinary support - the expense is insane. There are cheaper ways to brand - with much smaller downsides. My experience is that people who are building things and doing things in a company are actual

What makes you think D&B is a good company? As far as I can tell all their revenue streams sit right on the border of extortion. If they couldn't convince major players like apple or the US Gov to require the usage of a DUNs number, the

True. However I’d say you have to start somewhere. And Ruby’s as good a place as any. After that you can move on to HaskellDrama.com and PrologDrama.com. And once we’ve got the geek community’s head on straight we can dive to the source

Same story for my US company as well. First applied to the Dev Program August 1st, finally got in December 18th. 3 calls to Apple - all good, quality support, but basically the ball was always placed in D&B’s court . That was ~10 call

I would heartily suggest a cleaning service. This actually solved the largest problem in my marriage. As it turns out we live busy lives, hate cleaning, and hate living with the mess. Once we got a cleaning service, we stopped fighting abo

And I think this is where this all leads - at some level all generalizations fail. All the way down to the individual level. Generalizing about my cube-mate fails: he hated Mexican food, till the new waitress started at our Mexican lunch

That article is a way better intro to the site and frankly sold me on qz. The content is good - and not content I’d seen anywhere else. More of this will keep me coming back. --- Link to the hn thread on that article: http://news.ycombina

I’ve in a few basements with a boatload of fiber, and while guarded those watchmen are not paid enough to take on a mad man with a chainsaw. I just think the crazy folk of America, aren’t angry enough at the internet to try to take it on so

The fact that simple ideas can be truly novel inventions, worthy of protection, is the main problem with our patent system at this point. Not everything that is simple is an invention - and that means the only way you can tell if something

Heck, this happens at my company, and we're 2 co-founders and a CSR. This was literally one of the first things we built - as I imagine it must be for any biz that ships products to customers.

Perl has/had this same problem. The route forward, that was chosen, was to formalize the process with Perl6. It's been 12 years in the making so far, it's not quite production ready, and it's certainly very different than Perl5. The lesson

You comments, are exactly what I came here to say particularly 1 and 5. Those have always been the problem spots for me when quiting. Leaving with long notice is doable when there's a great deal of trust - and I done it. But the most commo
