Here's an idea: instead of lazily relying on people to come up with clever ways to say things for you, come up with your own ways of viewing the world. People who rely on baseless aphorisms to make themselves seem more interesting be

I've learned over the years as a creative director that there are just some clients who get it and some that don't. The clients who do get it will invite the design team to their production meetings; they'll include us on

It would be interesting to try a solution where Node.js incorporates itself either on the client side or the server side depending on the device. Or even putting Node on both sides and "load balancing" depending on processing powe

The best way to get people to stop talking about political correctness is to be politically correct. Pragmatically speaking, it makes sense to make a good effort to not offend people in your writing, since it detracts from the core mess

It's not a formal term; the author was just drawing the parallel between memory + disk thrashing and the DOM + layout thrashing. Basically slowdown due to excessive reads and writes/redundantly moving data back and forth.

BBM was what people loved. Have you forgotten about Blackberry's nubs and balls that constantly broke/got stuck? People dealt because that was the state of the art at the time.

Apple does plenty of iteration, just in a different way. Think about copy and paste on iPhone, MMS messaging, multitasking, etc. They work depth-first rather than breadth, so instead of dozens of half-working features, you get one or two co

Something is not right about this story. I can't put my finger on it, but the holes in Bo's story make me suspicious. What items were lost originally? What were the circumstances surrounding the lost items? Why wasn't Bo fire

Freemium. You could get basic functionality for free, but certain tasks would cost money. I seem to remember thinking that the balance between what was free and what was paid was a bit off.

Not sure what system my library uses, but mine has a wait-list that will check out the ebook for you when it's your turn. Either way: given that many public libraries offer ebook rentals for free, Scribd should be marketing to them r

The "revisions" aren't really revisions; they're part of the article. If you have the proper context, you don't need to be verbose. For example, if I go to your startup's website, I don't need to be told t

My apologies; that's what I meant. I tend to (incorrectly) use "open source" synonymously with "free software" when writing informally. In this case, the project that I contributed to was distributed under the MIT (

I would highly encourage anyone who hasn't heard Richard Stallman speak before to look up a few interviews with him before reading this article. This article is written exactly how he speaks, so the tone and cadence are much more dynam

Hence why I think the "ADHD Overdiagnosis Epidemic" in the USA is bullshit -- the fact of the matter is that 45% of the USA smoked in the 1950s, a number which has since been cut in half [1]. Considering the hypothesis that intoxi

Um, excuse me, don't you realize that Android has been installed on approximately 8 million times the number of devices that iOS has been installed on? Think of how many feature phones, Arduinos, and toasters have all of the same

In northern Maine, everyone I know keeps their house doors unlocked and their keys sitting in the ignition of their cars. However, it's still illegal to steal their cars and enter their houses. There doesn't even need to be a me

I used to agree completely with you, but now I realize that, given the second law of thermodynamics, it's impossible to restore an entire ecosystem back to a previous state. From what I hear, one goal of ending climate change is to all

Throwing my hat into the ring here: 1) I think that we, as the human population, should actively move toward more efficient, less destructive industry on principle, not just because of the threat of climate change. I think making it about c
