I hope it's ok to drop a small advert in here, it seems to be on topic. If a good artist, designer or usability engineer is looking for a project over Christmas week then I and a friend(1) are going to be building a web app and would love a

I'm curious about your concatenation technique. Dynamically creating multiple script objects (with document.createElement) from a data file and injecting them has been reasonably robust for me but I'm not writing a framework so I have far f

Most browsers can handle two concurrent connections. I wonder if you could create a single diff file for minor revisions. Clients would get both files in parallel as most are configured to allow two connections per host. E.g.: - index.html

A quick dig shows that these folk are behind it: http://www.killerstartups.com/ I'd say that not having their blog linked all over the home page earns them a credibility point. (The TC post linked from their FAQ says the domain cost 'mid-

Wouldn't it be very subjective? Reviews of walking shoes are pretty useless, for example.

Performance is much improved on Linux these days (at least the x64 version). My Macbook Pro running Ubuntu 9.10 uses about 5-10% CPU at most for flash video, and usually a little less for flash-only sites. The only problem is that when it c

If you have a good reference for leap seconds and platform implementations thereof I would love to read it.

You can ask for slices in different places if you have more than one. The outage took out my primary and secondary app servers (resulting in an outage/apology e-mail to customers, ouch) and so now I'm thinking about accelerating my move to

http://theplanis.com/blog/preview/10/ might be of interest. The technical work is about 50% working on new features and 50% tracking down customer issues. The non-technical stuff is a mix of blogging, twitter, going to events, public spea

I think any team consisting of 2-3 people can't afford any person who has only one skill. It's a pretty common evolution for a designer to branch out into UX, so if one is looking for a designer it would be natural to look for a designer +

I rather liked this bit: "If you require a motivational writer or speaker to live differently, then as soon as that external energy shot wears off, you will fizzle and burn out. But if everyone is trying to discourage you from doing somethi

There are a few companies that do a VoIP -> Skype bridge by scripting the Linux client. In line with your comment an open source client would make that kind of hack more reliable.

In Europe the protections are better, and there are requirements that must be complied with including no data processing outside of the EEA without consent. You can read about the UK variant here: http://www.ico.gov.uk/

No matter how brilliant one is are there are people out there who make one look like rather like a badly shaved monkey. Obviously this is not true at the limit, but unless you happen to be Hawking posting incognito that consideration is pro

By the same author I can recommend The New Science of Strong Materials: Or Why You Don't Fall Through the Floor. (The section on wooden planes is particularly interesting.) http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Science-Strong-Materials-Through...

I agree with you that there are a lot of people who are extremely valuable to an economy despite not having a degree. However I would suggest that a degree is still a good bar to have in place. - The average quality of the with-degree pool

Wikipedia lists 9 1/2 manufacturers of buses currently in use in London: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bus_types_used_in_Londo... (Not to dispute your main point though. The buses here seem to last pretty well.)

This is correct. The limit appears to be 16gb to qualify for the (very large) discount. http://www.itexaminer.com/microsoft-adds-to-atoms-restrictio... Supposedly the Win 7 license has no such restriction.

If you change two things at once, you won't know which change led to the response. (I say this as an idiot who released _three_ big changes today, and is trying to work out which feature the feedback relates to.)

Credible. If I hit a road block (such as having to register) before I feel that you are going to deliver on your promises then I move on without bothering. For example: I won't register for your new social network, because I feel there's a

Sliding keyboards are nowhere near as good as BlackBerry style keyboards. I had an E71 for a while and the reason I loved it was because the keyboard was _always there_. It was never a pain to pull it out, wait for the screen orientation to

You laugh but there is a lot of truth in that! I have an Eee 1000 which had a 40gb SSD - there are two reasons that you can't get that today. - SSD prices have gone up. - You can't put the cheap version of Windows on a device with a large S

Up to a point. There are some things that the right name can help with: - It gets really boring to have to spell your name out to everyone you meet and talk to. Therefore having one that is unambiguously easy to communicate will save you ho

Seconded. I have done resource allocation for companies from 1 employee to 100k employees and the one common factor is that there is always too much to do and too few people to do it.

The only one I know personally who is a FTE is making about $40-50k (in the UK). Most programmers of his seniority in central London are in about the same range. An good architect/team lead with about 10 years experience would be lucky to m

I don't normally submit my own blog articles to YC but I thought this one might be interesting as it includes some of my time tracker data before and after starting up. It's also the time of year when a lot of questions about solo YC applic
