Heroku does this - they have a nice console interface for pulling down the logs from your deployed app. Granted, it is not quite the same as Gmail, but it's always a start. Maybe it's a business idea: email for geeks. I'd use it. :)

Putting aside all discussion on the validity of software patents, Apple really has an obligation to step in and muscle Lodsys to the ground. And I expect that is exactly what they will do. I doubt anyone at Apple thought it would be a good

I think it goes back to the learnings from the original tech bubble: companies with a real business plan survive, those with a nebulous product don't make it. For example: Amazon was a rising star during the late-90s tech bubble, and it's s

Agree! Another example of this that my old music teacher used to give all the time was John Coltrane. Everybody agrees that he was a great player, but he wasn't a prodigy. He was notorious for practicing day and night to continue improving

If I were to rephrase the question on this thread, it seems to me that it could also be stated as "how do you keep HN comments from turning into Slashdot comments"? I don't say that in jest - I used to read Slashdot, but after a while I got

Amen - I forget the interview, but there was a great interview with Steve Jobs where he said that to make great things happen, you need a broad range of life experience. That tends not to apply to engineers who stay in front of the computer

At the risk of starting a religious war... zsh is a little snappier than bash and offers some neat options which are not present in bash (at least not out of the box AFAIK - e.g. spellcheck). From my experience, zsh targets power users (and

Just wanted to chime in...other people have said it already, but I'll say it too: there is absolutely nothing wrong with you - your feelings are very normal. I got out of school a few years ago, and I'll tell you that my sophomore year was
