I personally don't have very much faith in Uber's long term business prospects, but that's all for its own discussion. But this is just one of many reasons I do think that way.

Because this is the real world, and no matter what the internet tells you, nuance matters. I don't like Mark Zuckerberg. I think his business practices regularly register as complete bullshit, and furthermore I can't quite tell wh

I still find the supposition that Facebook was supposed to defy a court order hilarious. Yes, I understand it's a court order from Turkey, not America, but you can't just flagrantly break the law in other countries simply because

This is one of those places where I've been really conflicted for as long as I've been back with programming. Right now, I'm going with the path that not only makes more money(and thusly induces less stress), but also has a h

I couldn't disagree more. The more long term a project gets, the more you should have other people on hand. Using frameworks significantly shortens the ramp-up period for potential partners/employees, turning months or years into

My biggest issue with Spotify is still their catalogue. I listen to primarily foreign electronica, and it constantly feels like none of it was there. When I finally did want to grab music from American artists, half weren't on Spotify.

If I read it right, I think it's the idea of switching the sides of a conversation, keeping one person on the left(or at least facing right) and the other on the right(facing left). If you cross to the other side it's a bit jarrin

I'd personally disagree, if only because the actual text space columns were so thin that it made everything I was reading feel very, very busy. It took me weeks to get comfortable regularly going to their documentation instead of looki

I think, like most things, it's a question of execution. Frankly, a lot of the infrastructure and societal mindset just wasn't there in 1999. I was playing online games every day since 1998, but it wasn't until 2003 that I wa

> I can see that in terms of bandwidth, SPA can be more efficient then normal HTML page. But this makes a few assumption. First, that your JS package never changes. As soon as 1 character changes in your package, the cache is invalidated

That doesn't really fix what I like most. I like being able to hit a, see Amazon.com hilighted, hit tab, and have that be searching Amazon. Or to do the same thing with GMail, Wikipedia, Youtube. It's the core functionality I like

Honestly, my issue with Firefox all comes back to the Omnibar: I just like how Google does it better. And the only Firefox plugin I've seen that gets similar to that behavior, is slower at every step of the way. Also, having to manuall

I always see these people commenting on how they don't see the value in Airbnb. I've gotta say, after staying at a few places, I don't see the value anywhere else. * Hilton Worldwide has yearly revenues of $9.7b. * Marriott I

Yeah, but these ads once again miss one of the biggest things- intent. At the end of the day, nothing you do on Facebook or Twitter speaks to intent. It's great for mindshare companies, like Dr. Pepper or Apple- but it just isn'

Part of the issue there is that Golang doesn't have any mature ORM-type packages. The one I've heard the most about is [Gorp]( https://github.com/coopernurse/gorp ), but none of the current Golang web libraries

And now you can switch between all of them on the fly easily, and anytime you're logging in on one or could be using Google's OAuth it provides a page to select which ID you'd like to use.

First time page load is heavy, yes. Then after that, it's much faster, as all the server has to hand over is JSON, which can turn a 150-500ms page load to a 15-90ms page load. Furthermore, it allows for easier data portability- when yo

There's a pretty obvious difference though between criticism for the sake of stroking your own ego, and criticism as a means of trying to better a product or legitimately point out its flaws. One introduces better conversation, another

Your site would actually make it pretty easy: Have the logo redirect to your homepage. Have the 'Blog' go to the blog feed. Logos that don't go to the homepage drive me batty.
