Wasn't this the initial goal of app.net? I know it's morphed somewhat now, but, if I remember correctly, it came about as a direct response to some Twitter developer in-niceness.

Heh, sorry, this made me chuckle. I'm sorry you're right, but ya know, it's a GNU project, so there's always room to contribute. :)

Few things here. My last solid OS X machine was a 17" MBPro with a G4. I forget the OS - Cheetah maybe? That year I also had a developer Intel box. It seems like it was that transition that I could really feel things were going awry. I

There has been discussion on one of the Swift lists (forget which one off the top of my head) to require first param. So this is definitely a known and active (still) topic.

"Since it is impossible to build everything from scratch.." Impossible how? If anything, web/api dev has become way easier than it was 10 years ago.

Your spot on here. I work with some great people, but I also have 2 young kids now and I frequently miss dinners at home. Getting everyone out of the house is probably more stressful than it needs to be because I'm 40 mins door to door

The same could be said about money as well. If AI could impact us in ways we cannot see right now, money is definitely one of them.

Couldn't agree with DHH more. I found Rails during the 0.9 releases. Coming from the horrific world of Java web frameworks like Spring and Tapestry, it was a revelation to see how fun and productive web programming could be again. When

Definitely appropriate and completely disingenuous is the 'Save the shire' shirts. Should be more like 'Advancing Mordor'.

Bring back the old 8-bit (C=64, Apple][) machines? Seriously. I know all the above comments are valid - site license lockdowns, iPad 'unprogrammibility', etc - but there's something to be said for no permissions, no network,

I'll second this one. I love walking. I've walked all over Chicago, SF, Manhattan, and other cities and there's just something about being _there_, in the moment. It'll never happen the same way again. Another thing I&#x

If you love Commodore computers, then Brian Bagnall wrote a really good book on the history of Commodore's 8-bit machines. http://www.amazon.com/Commodore-Company-Edge-Brian-Bagnall/d...

Not sure why the parent post was downvoted - there's a lot of good advice here. I agree with all the points listed. Knowing your competition is a very big deal. And knowing how they market (even if it's not how you would) is very

We had something similar with Comcast in SF - 2 boxes and 1 dvr in the house, '50Mb' (I'll leave that in quotes) down, 10'ish-maybe up. When we first moved into our place last year, the internet was stable and worked wel

Seriously.. This is unbelievable. I think there's a lot of room for devs that will stand for their users. My friend is actually releasing a pretty killer, no holds barred blocker (it's in the approval process): Halcyon Blocker: h

A few years ago, I was the ultimate fan of ibooks/kindles. Still am in some regard - when talking about space or moving from place to place, lugging around any kind of books or physical media sucks. I did this before from one coast to

Exactly. In the SEO world, the common wisdom is you will get dinged in ranking or even deindexed if you publish duplicate content. Period. There is an entire sub-industry in SEO that's all about content spinning. I'm always kinda

I'm giving Lotus a try for an api. I'm looking for something a little more lightweight than Rails. I'm hoping for a fun experience.

"Of course in 10-15 years everyone will be in the same boat, being completely ignored by the ASIs" Exactly, so why give them any credence now?? You only give these people power if you do. That's great that's what Sam Alt

I think this goes without saying: never stop learning. The people that are resourceful will always find a way. Sometimes this may mean on your own, sometimes with a group. But as long as you can keep learning and just 'do things',

Agreed on the clunkiness & mess making. I did AeroPress for about a month and I am a 100% must have 1 cup of coffee as soon as I wake up type person. Something about the AP just seemed too much for not enough return. I ended up going ba

I'm in my mid-40's. I have two kids (both still under 4) and things are a lot harder all around. Wouldn't change it for the world, of course, but this was the year I stopped neglecting my health. 1. Got back on my bike. I t

Wow, you had a 9200 baud modem?!?! My first modem was 300 baud.. It's funny how that translated - for decades to come - into real movie usefulness. In reality, of course, it was ridiculously painful.
