My thoughts exactly. It looks like something that I would build by hand (messy) as opposed to something that comes out of a factory. I guess it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be unreliable, but I can't help but think so. All would be

I've seen their review of the Leaf. Clarkson was anticipating the car running out and talking about it while looking at the dial, which he pointed out. What made it "unexpected" in the program, as this article claims, must have been lost on

I have an app in the webOS app store. Palm/HP have been absolutely great about payouts. There have been two problems with the payments so far, both due to technical issues, and they have been addressed promptly and professionally (they sent

Can I use pip to just install the dependencies without packaging my project as a module? I understand that pip installs "my module" to site packages or a directory under virtualenv. This is not what I need. I don't have a "my module" to ins

I'm dipping into both Rails and a Python project right now (non-Django), both for the first time, and had difficulty "listing required packages to go along the source" in Python. In Rails/Ruby I can use Bundler: git clone bundle insta

From the article under number 4: "They encourage up-and-comers to spend extravagantly; they extend lines of credit to their rising stars. You need a big house with a jumbo mortgage; you cannot pull up to a business meeting in anything less

You seem to be talking about different things. I read "golden handcuffs" as extending a line of credit to employees to support and _encourage_ living beyond their actual means. This is very very different from being pampered and spoiled as

This actually happened to me: I once heard of Airbnb on HN. <fast-forward a few weeks> I once spent half a day looking for that site with a terrible name that let you rent good apts for short periods of time. So, from my experience,

This is mostly a description of state, not of state machines. Status, published, or paid fields on your objects have little to do with state machines if the code is not written with assertions about the current state of the application. The

I fixed my t42 motherboard by soldering a tiny wire over a blown fuse. I was in the process of replacing the failed fan on the CPU heatsink. (Had to transplant the fan from a smaller heatsink that came from a lesser t42 with a smaller heats

In my opinion, for a two person team, both have to be technical founders and at least one of them has to have some product sense to build anything useful. For a three person team, however, you can afford a dedicated business person. There i

I still play games I bought ten years ago. Can you definitively say that the same will be true for content you purchase using Steam? What about 20 years from now? The value of your purchase is now directly tied to the success of the company

I can't help but draw a parallel to computer games. I find myself buying computer games less and less for this exact reason. If I get the game off a torrent, I will have a better experience. Every time I sit down to play a game I actually p

I don't know why there is hate in the comments. Just because the word "color" is involved, doesn't mean these guys don't actually deserve the -- much more reasonable -- funding. As a non-designer, I can testify that colourlovers is solving

I think most of us, if we were developing Dropbox, would have made the same decisions. De-duping at the cost of complete privacy, even in the face of law, is a sound technical and business decision for a service such as Dropbox. When I thin

It would be slightly more usable if the hover area for the footnote was two to three times larger than the number. I takes me a few tries to home in on the numbers; it's pretty, but frustrating.

The most I can deduce from the experiment is that Bing look at what people click on Google and that plays some role in their search ranking. If you synthesize a term that doesn't exist in nature I can see how a search algorithm can weigh th

I've been sending both transactional and bulk email using SendGrid. If I understand you correctly the only downside to that approach is that transactional email may be delayed because it is coming from an IP that also sends bulk email? I wa

"the American experiment seems broken--eve dying" That's the exact way it was used and it is pretentious, because it dismisses our culture and country as something fleeting. The phrase "the American experiment" may be a common phrase, but i

Your use of the phrase "the American experiment" is pretentious, especially when you call it broken. We're a country and people with fundamental, albeit continually debated, beliefs. We have a governance system with which people can engage

I'm a very happy SendGrid user, but I simply cannot ignore the huge price difference. I will be giving Amazon a shot. Before SendGrid, I was using Campaign Monitor, it was great, but outrageously expensive. SendGrid kicked off because it wa

Postmark do not allow bulk email, such as newsletters, and hence are not a comparable product.

As a recent convert to git (from hg), who didn't "get it" before, I think you have to qualify what you mean by branching works. Effective branching is the killer feature of git or any source control system, to me. And in that regard: svn &#

I'm aware of both. Personally I find this to be an inferior solution. Using a patch queue as a local branch just feels wrong. Neither is using bookmarks an effective solution. Both solution make the decision to branch a much more deliberate

I've been using Mercurial for a few years and am now turning to git (one week in, so I won't say much about it) for a very specific and fundamental reason: short lived local branches. Say you have a repository, fix a few bugs on it, and now
