You could argue that Mediawiki has Wikipedia. Wikipedia didn't change the look much from the stock Mediawiki look.

It's nice, the only thing is, if your site's style sheet uses class names like "error", "debug" and so on, it will mess up the log window. You have 2 options: 1 - modify your styles 2 - modify blackbird styles + code I'll stick to console

I couldn't have put it better. You described my childhood. Although I have paid the pirates to get the tapes and later disks I don't feel guilty as they did some collateral good too by driving me towards IT. You have to get to know the envi

You might be old but not always right...and here's why 1. If one wants to create a world per his imagination why not let him and let him share it? Why listen to the radio when you can read the book or the script and leave your imagination d

I'm really curious how people reacted when sound was introduced...then color. Nowadays everyone seems to be a critic and anything you give them they see a drawback to it and sometimes this behavior feels just too forced. It is turning into:

I would say giving information to Facebook is giving information to the world. No profile means no information for anyone to refer to you which means no one can bother screwing you in any way. Oh...and you also realize that there is a sun o

In my experience in a startup people have no labels/titles associated to them. They are the directors and they have to take out the trash too. Tthe author claims he has much experience in the "startup organization domain" but he misses the

These are all interesting but don't prove you're a good software guy. I don't like the way how some companies try to look "cool" and do the opposite of corporates where you have to get your certifications and grades right opposed to your Br

You missed the message. That's the whole message, to do what YOU want and not what someone else tells you or make you think you have to. Do more of what gives you pleasure and fulfilment. Be it watching a sunset or chasing storms or whateve

But there is the fear of failure because of your insights which could stop you from succeeding. Some can't overcome the fear to face the consumers with an imperfect product/service even when it is more than perfect from the consumers' point

What about game programming? Nobody mentioned it. It's the ultimate test. Try to hack together a simple pool game. You'll be amazed of how much maths and physics go into a simple game that millions use and enjoy.

It is unbelievable how things can change in a few days. I did the same and now I'm going to be a father (wanted) but the thing is I found balance, got a new contract with a different company which will start next week for double the money a

You could spend more time with your kids which make up tenfolds for the missing fancy stuff. Kids love attention and entourage. YOU should be their idol and YOU can compensate the "poor" education. I disagree that money buys good education.

I thought coffee was an excuse for breaks. I drink when I'm bored or need a short break. I have never ever felt that a coffee can give me a kick not even when I had to drive for 2 days or learn for exams. On the other hand if I find somethi

Bitching about IE6 is becoming trendy. I don't even bother optimizing for IE6 cause the sites I work on will be blocked by corporate firewalls as soon as someone accesses it from inside and flagged as frivolous anyhow. Adding funny and even

It's on the back so everyone can see it. It's a fashion statement to have an iSomething. Even here on HN you never (or rarely) read I have booted up my Asus or Dell or whatever BUT there's always "my Macbook" or similar. I like the underdog

That also depends on the problem you're trying to solve. In a year or two there might be multiple solutions already and yours will be "yet another" one even if good but commercially not as successful. It's good to have these calming posts b

What's agility after all? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agility For me being agile is adapting to a changing environment. Animals are being agile to survive in their natural environment and we are agile to survive in our environment. If yo

Most of the people I come in contact with don't even have the faintest idea what IE or Chrome is. They might complain that their "facebook" does not work anymore knowing nothing of the changes occurred to their browser. It's not relevant to

As for one Chinese proverb: "Never try to stop someone from doing something unless you didn't try the exact same thing and failed." The body is a fragile yet a very resilient machine. Amazing how it adapts to physical demands. The brain is

Couldn't agree more. I feel the same and sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing joining a startup. I agree it is different when it is YOUR startup but on joining one that doesn't have time for your ideas it's pretty painful. In the eve

Interesting how physical activity is not showing up in any of these so called experiments. Why is this trend to outsmart the body? Give it a bit of work and you'll have a balance and energy that no wii fit and alarm clock can asses. No gadg

It used to be to protect the staff handling the luggages so they don't have to wreck their backs lifting your heavy stuff. Although some airlines charge you if you exceed 15kgs some if you go over 20 so that is strange for the same airport.

True. Some types of food will take a lot of work from the digestive system to be broken down before the body can use them as a source of energy. That's why you put highly refined petrol into a car and not raw oil. It's choosing a musli bar

If I have a full meal I barely can stay awake. I know that the body switches into a different mode to process the meal and extract the proteins etc and for this it drains me of other energy like focusing. It is interesting how my productivi
