"...I think the idea is to be mean when mean is deserved, to be nice in other instances, and to try to make sure that you're never mean for stupid reasons." Well, geez, why didn't he just say that? Instead of all this arm waving and swe

So cutting out criticism is the way to fix people being spit on? That's like chopping off your head when you've got a headache. The rules slay me even more: 1. So everybody is magically going to stop being anonymous in a medium that heralds

The only thing more annoying than bandwagon hatred is bandwagon altruism. What happened to Arrington sucks, but this sort of shit happens to all sorts of domain-specific personalities and famous people every day. I just don't see what this

I think it has very little to do with the industry and a lot to do with human nature when provided with the Internet. It's a terrible thing, though completely heard of and quite predictable once someone reaches a certain level of fame. Sure

Sam seems to think so and apparently YC agreed with him (well, maybe): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=453303

Holy crap, you mean I shouldn't use a company that isn't a domain registrar as my domain registrar?! This is like complaining when you get a dedicated server from GoDaddy -- they're a fine registrar, but a completely horrible host and many

If you work from home and feel lonely, which is apparently this guy's entire argument against working from home, get a hobby . I go to the gym every day right after I wake up. It's a great way to start the day and there are other human bei

That would be awful, though. To always be considering every move you make and everything you say because it may offend someone. Just the fact that I have a business requires me to censor myself, which I hate. That's absolutely nothing compa

You could have saved time by clicking on the first link from the previous query, realizing that, literally speaking, it is not a joke.

I'd tell you if we could log into addthis.com with the credentials their site provided as our current username and password. Or if they replied to customer emails. AKA if they weren't a shit pile.

You have far more faith in people than I do. Something tells me within the next 5 years Americans will have forgotten about the whole "maybe spending way more money than I make is a bad idea" and things will go back to the way they were. Wh

As a retail store, they'd have to significantly mark stuff down to compete with online stores. I'm surprised they're still so high though; I would have expected more of a fire sale.

No central heat + Boston winter = Many days I wish for a heated keyboard... not sure how you'd heat a trackball, but that would be appreciated as well!

I downvoted him because (a) it is a worn out cliche of a joke and (b) I played hockey for over 10 years and only got in a couple fights and did not see many more than that. The game is not about fighting. That isn't why it's played and it i

The second part is actually " This is a knife!" Because he's holding it. Sorry.

Erm, that's my opposite opinion, I guess. My (attempted) argument is that one should not write their own framework unless doing so as an exercise in learning. In any other case, using existing frameworks or using the "roll your own library

Right. See, that's an insane volume (number of sets per body type) and a really high total number of reps. You're doing 125 reps per workout at a minimum! It should be noted that even advanced trainers only have a volume of about 4-6 sets p

If you only have two lifting days per week, going heavy on compound exercises makes sense. Also, presumably, you're working a greater number of muscle groups per day which requires more recovery time, especially if you're doing low-weight,

I guess I am easily surprised; each case of "omg our plaintext passwords were stolen" completely baffles me.

I have no salary whatsoever and would place my happiness between 8-10, depending on the day and whether or not I'm feeling that annoying human desire for companionship (which I can happily report has receded as of recent). I spent a previou

Hmmm, at least I don't have to hijack a Windows PC to update the firmware now. The question becomes, am I brave enough to try it? Any success/horror stories from you guys yet?

Another important note: fitness goes away much faster than you gain it. After six months of twice-daily training (cardio in the morning, power lifting at night) I was in amazing shape. Then I stopped. It only took three months for me to

Right, but that's not "writing a framework", it's "using existing libraries in conjunction with one another". There's no real "magic", directory layout rules, etc. Maybe you end up writing a couple scripts to tie them together or something,

The Dojo examples page always froze my browser. Even after switching computers and operating systems, it would hang for a while. I never did figure out if it was just me or nobody else seemed to notice.
