A slightly off-topic question: How much can you learn about computers by doing the code year? Isn't this ( http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/code-year ) just a JavaScript course? (not being a jerk, just curious)

Do you want to join an ultra elite ninja brotherhood? Hell yeah! Let me fetch my nunchucks. I would like to see this project succeed, but the language used (too much enthusiasm?) makes me skeptical. Anyhow, good luck guys.

Learning new technologies is something I do, not because I'm interested in getting hired or in becoming the DHH of node. I would do it even if I were by profession a truck driver. This may sound "romantic", but when your love of technology

Monetizing your website with affiliate offers doesn't make it spam. Having no other purpose than to redirect a visitor to an offer - does. Especially if you use less than lilly white SEO techniques. Here's a nice way to put it: Google beli

This reads like my life story. Falling in love with a new technology, trying to use it in production, only to find out that it just isn't there yet :) Node.js will become a great option for web development, but I don't think that node, at t

First of all, congratulations on your new venture! Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, refer.ly is basically a middleman. If that's so, I have a couple questions: 1. What incentives do I have to sign up with refer.ly instead of

I disagree. Regarding user-friendliness they are about the same to me. Can you point out something that I maybe missed that makes mplayer "definitely far more user-friendly than vlc"? (not rude, just curious) edit: missed a word

@silverbax88 - exactly! No matter how well designed or "active" websites may appear, if its only function is to send you to some affiliate offer - it's spam. The best of them are very good at faking legit websites (even having an active "co

No, I don't think so. They have so many links from various sources that any effort at generating enough "bad links" would be virtually unnoticeable. Other than that, they don't care about their rankings. I mean, would you go to google.com (

Although Matt Cutts claims that this is an algorithm change and does not involve any human review of individual websites - this is not true. They went after specific guys who sold links on their splog farms, but those who didn't are up and

Just what women need! Another middle-aged white man fighting for the women's rights. It's condescending. It's just a step away from "A Gay Girl in Damascus".

This article reads to me as "What I learned from watching Scarface and pretending to have connections with underground." I know I'm ranting, but what can you say about this bunch of vague cliches?

Thanks mekoka for this list. The best free programming book, and one of the best books in general, I've ever read was Programming from the Ground Up . It's not on the citizen428's list, but the mofo's list has it. If you haven't read it I

I agree with your points. Tutorial-style documentation is a way to go. The main problem this framework has isn't its reference-style documentation (if a framework looks good enough I'm willing to do some extra work figuring out how to use i
