The letter is good. The sales message at the end? Not so much.

I had no idea that the +1 commenting style originated from the Apache mailing list. Evidently it did, in 1994. +1 to the entire ASF.

I wonder, too. Some of the NYT's most unique content is on its blogs, though, and they're the only NYT feeds I subscribe to. My guess is that if Nisenholtz does this, a lot of the branded blogs on nytimes.com, including both Freakonomics

While they certainly can't break old releases, it seems that with IE 8 onwards they could implement something like that, doesn't it?

As a web developer I'm keenly interested in any new IE releases. I can't help but wonder, however, why Microsoft need's to mark each release as a major version (7, 8, 9). Microsoft itself has made it clear that everyone should upgrade to t

Not sure I understand the question... I use CodeIgniter whenever we're building a bespoke site. It uses a Model-View-Controller pattern, like Rails. Is that what you were asking?

About 18 months ago I came to the realization that Rails just wasn't required for the projects I was using. I jumped on the Rails band wagon early and loved all the syntatic sugar that comes from Ruby, and I'd never really developed with an

A recent NY Times article[1] talked about just this. On auction sites like ebay, competitors can lock that accounts of those they're bidding against in order to win auctions. 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/technology/21password.html

Nobody in their right mind uses Flash for anything important. iPhone has, but I'd wager the vast majority of YouTube users watch videos in their browsers. the majority of online display advertising Advertisers are the revenue source for

Maybe on mobile, but certainly not the desktop. While I would certainly prefer to build everything in HTML/JS/CSS, if I want a media player or gallery that works predictably and consistently Flash is certainly the best way to go. Ditto on

"All the gear, but no idea - to coin a phrase." Love it. I think this is a universal rule. I've seen it apply to music (electric guitarists with their pedals), graphic design (with Adobe CS), renovations (shiny tools) and conversation (su

I just did my first solr implementation this year and it was a pleasure playing the various tokenizers and filters that are included out-of-the box. It replaced a hideous MySQL SELECT and the results from the two aren't even from the same

I'd be grateful if a mod could delete this exchange; it caused some distress to kw_ and certainly didn't add anything to the discussion. I can't seem to find a delete or edit link anymore.

I think that separation is a healthy policy; it was more just a mild curiosity. I really enjoyed your three grey beard stories and I'd love to read more if you have them.
