The reasons doing a startup are totally irrelevant. For some it's money, for other power, status, passion or whatever. It's not important why you do a startup. These are just drivers and they are good because they push you to start—push y

Ok thanks, where did he say this about fruit juices? In the same video?
304.
by tferris 14y ago
I don't get it: he claims that sugar is bad because the fructose in sugar is bad leading to dozen disease including diabetes. But fructose is is the core of many fruits which are considered as healthy. Nutrition/metabolism is still a black

Thanks for this great blog post. It's good to see such articles with real-life use cases for node and socket.io. And perfect timing: I was about to write some multiplayer sound-based game with node

I agree. People who are both afraid and little lazy to learn new stuff.

To the point. Ruby code may have good maintainability but a Rails project doesn't.

With "exists" I meant obviously "is popular because" or "the main use case of Ruby is Rails"—I think you get the point. I disagree on your second point, languages drive innovation otherwise C/C++ would be sufficient for all of us. Anyway, l

Maybe a dumb question but I wonder always how the Internet connection in such countries is in general and even if it's great: does the lag to the western world annoys one after a while??

You're right, it's not chicken and egg, it's choosing between pest and cholera, I'll edit. Thanks In principle I agree with you on all your points but do not underestimate deadlocking situations in later stages. They will come, the overall

It's choosing between pest and cholera. In early stages: With a cofounder you get started, carry on, have fun and soon an MVP. Without you quit days after having a first prototype (due to heavy procrastination, doubts, distractions). In

Nice work! Do you use any ORM for MySQL?

No, I disagree two times on "relationship with target X is strong" and on "They don't feel like they can vouch for you". This may be the case be but must not necessarily, the motivation for such a behavior comes from my experience usually f

Discussing a hairsplitting definition of a walled garden doesn't make sense here. Google do not deadlock wether users nor site owner/publishers (referred above as "users" as well) to use their products but they could as explained above (dea

You are right, I re-edited and took the passage out (as written below I wasn't able to reply before directly).

Helpful post. How do you avoid that the potential intromaker replies: "Just send me more infos + your pitch deck and I'll forward it." Basically, the intromaker tries to stay as a gatekeeper between you and the target. Then, you are stuck

I couldn't reply before to your post because the reply link was missing (guess the system does not allow too many post in a given period of time), so I used my former post and put an "EDIT+my reply" in order to comment on your words. I shou

I don't agree. If you build a really great web based product you don't need to do any single SEO activity to get strong traffic. No white or black hat or anything needed. People will come anyway. It's all about the product. If it's good peo

Pardon, you are totally misleading. Google could do this—there are multiple options to silently wallgarden the user. Just check how much traffic Google moves. If they want they could arbitrarily redirect traffic and subtly punish user's not

Sorry, I don't get your point. You can be successful with your product on the WWW without employing any Google services, being totally independent. If people and other sites like you and link back to you your traffic will quickly skyrocket

Imagine Apple, Facebook or whoever controlled the Internet like Google does: How long would it take until they abused their power? If someone is dominating the web it's Google and looking at their power and how much traffic they move—thei

Thanks. Gave me a much better understanding. Now, I want to try it. How does Clojure compare to ClojureScript?
