Sorry, but I think this is really bad advice, it goes about it from the wrong direction. Saying "monolithic" or "services" like one is good and one is bad, or one is complicated and one is simple, is kind of silly. For example... which is

I found that it worked both ways. When I started, the deadlines kept me motivated. But when real life intruded, and I had to take a break for several weeks, that fact that I was behind was a demotivator. A good middle ground might be "un

Well, while they might seem that way because they are a hardware company, they are incredibly aggressive in that arena. Take the bannings and attempted bannings of Motorola, HTC, and Samsung devices for example. They are definitely trying

Yeah I wince a bit at any benchmarking being run in a shared environment like EC2, where other activity outside of your VM can affect performance.

That's really funny, I didn't realize the hyperbolic use had become official at some point.

Yes, I believe that is what they are saying.

I noticed they added a "Most Visited Pages" display when you open a new tab, much like Safari's "Top Sites", and like with Safari it's turned on by default. I wonder how many people accidentally have their porn habit outed the first time th

Love coda for managing large numbers of cms installs. Use it for all my non-vim work (pair programing and more serious dev tasks just work better in vim, makes me think better). Exploring a code base works better for me in coda, the functio

If your distro can't (or won't) keep up with a mainstream package like php, and you need it to, maybe it's time to switch? Which is easy, because all of your software will run on whatever flavor you switch to. The ability to easily jump sh

To what degree were people predicting the fall of pets.com before it happened? Anyone remember? I think that's the key insight into how the fallout of a groupon meltdown would affect the rest of the industry.

Yeah, the amount of linkbait that comes out of there makes me feel like they have intentionally targeted HN. After clicking on a forbes link, only to discover it was literally Quora wrapped in an iframe, I stopped clicking. I now just che

Having a number of different operating systems that claim to be "Android" but are actually incompatible with each other is a huge problem. Users expect the different handsets to have the same functionality, and developers don't want to (an

Don't forget your phone, and eventually, your car!!! I give them points for being ambitious.

You can't, that's the whole problem. If you want the beginning of the domain, it will automatically include the uri scheme. So you cannot copy foo.com, you will always paste http://foo.com . 95% I want foo.com.

Yes, I am currently annoyed several times a day when I copy/paste a domain from firefox and have to delete the http: from the front. Every time!!! Edit: Looking again, I see they are not showing the scheme for non-secure sites. So the ann

A car transponder I would like to see is one that coordinates self-driving cars to eliminate traffic congestion. You can do a rough version of this by reading traffic reports, but finer grained decisions would require something invasive li

Reminds me of the same issue with CA warnings, which used to be very alarmist but often incorrect in terms of the actual danger, so users just got used to pushing "Ok I don't care." Basically, if you have something alarming show up in from

The use of our data for purposes beyond advertizing is definitely a rapidly brewing storm. I already get emails from pretty looking web services offering sometimes dubious claims of magical insight, if only I send them a list of emails I w

Well, for one, putting both your businesses at risk for the sake of a door is a bit of a deep play. A former landlord of mine is just now getting busted for putting in an illegal apartment seven years ago. I personally wouldn't want somet
