To be a great founder, you just need to be good at one thing: building stuff that people will love and buy. The rest you can either learn along they way, or hire someone to do for you. Dreaming of algorithms doesn't make you understand cust

I can certainly attest to the "strengthening" argument. I had been working standing for about 6 months after a back injury. No matter what I did it hurt for the first month or so, but eventually I got used to it. I just got home from 3 mont

Do you still see 3D with one eye closed? Most people instinctively say "no". But the reality is that there are far more cues for depth than just stereoscopic vision. Someone with one eye still perceives depths by judging relative object siz

Yet another validation of our (fivesecondtest.com) decision to stop supporting PayPal. No other "financial institution" fails so comprehensibly at so many basic fundamentals. My merchant account costs me a small fortune, but it's worth it f

A couple of weeks ago we posted our new little bug tracking tool to HN, and got some really good feedback. Most critical among that was to make it clear that we are NOT trying to compete with Jira, Redmine or Bugzilla. We're a visual issue

The problem with taking a snapshot is that it quickly becomes out of date, and as you mention can be different with different content. We use some fuzzy selection methods to select the underlying DOM node that is causing you a problem. When

Awesome leading question, thanks! BugHerd is a tracker for web developers and designers run within the website you're working on. Part feedback tool, part bug tracker, part QA tool. It's a bug tracker that engineers, designers, clients and

I picked up an iPhone 3GS when they came out with intent of developing iOS apps. Even at that time it was clear that playing in someone else's yard meant playing by their rules, and that it was highly likely that I wasn't going to like thei

There is also a method for logging non-gui bugs. It's not visible in this release though. As a developer myself it is useful to not have to click, especially for db related issues.

For years I've heard the argument that Mathematics should be Maths (being Australian). That's the first time any one has made a sensible argument (to me) for the alternative. I've never heard anyone call Gymnastics "Gyms". :P

Almost the entire article is BS. We've ALWAYS had tiered broadband in Australia, and none of these things have happened. The one exception is Peak/Off-Peak usage. Yes, we schedule downloads after hours...but now with every ISP offering fair
