It's sort of silly that a minimum apartment size is even legislated in the first place. Somebody who chooses to live in a small apartment does so because it's their best available option.
It seems as if every single key press, whether or not it affects the output (for example, writing in a comment or hitting enter to reorganize and space out code) causes every single function to be evaluated again. You…
I don't know how the internet could easily transition out of this mess, but I think it would probably be good to eventually get rid of as many TLDs other than .com as possible. Does it add any real value to users to…
This filtering signal works both ways. While you do avoid some of the worst developers, you also reduce your chances of getting some of the better developers who will not likely waste time jumping through hoops unless…
Speaking multiple languages is a great thing, but if you already speak English, maybe you ought to consider if its worth your time if you don't have a clear goal in mind. Do you want to learn a new language for the sake…
In most cases, an unpaid internship is probably a bad idea. But individuals should be making that choice based on their unique set of circumstances and goals. Individuals should be free to make a choice whether or not…
Fuck landing pages that ask me for my email without giving me any info about what the app actually is.
* It goes without saying that a request for access to personal data like this is something that nobody should ever comply with. * Asking somebody for access to their email/social network account is actually a great…
This product you're shilling may or may not end up being some cool addicting thing. But asking for email addresses without explaining what the site is about is really lame and is a huge turnoff.
Wanting to change the world is a great thing. If you're already profitable, you're in a great position. But please don't dismiss somebody for being a bit focused on how your business will make money over the short or…
Depending on what you are doing, C might be a better choice than C++ and finding a good C developer might be easier for you.
Devoting such a significant percentage of your time and resources to what likely amounts to less than 1% of your users doesn't sound like a wise business decision in most circumstances.
It really depends on what you're interested in because there are a ton of neat things to check out in NYC, but often the most interesting and entertaining one is the Web Performance Meetup.…
I'm not suggesting you use Drupal without a good reason, but if you're worrying about hypothetical scaling concerns before you've ever even touched PHP or Rails in your life, you're probably focusing on the wrong thing.…
I'm surprised that a community of internet entrepreneurs is so disinterested in advertising considering how many of your own sites are dependent on it. I actually like looking at ads. I like finding out about new…
In what is ostensibly an effort to prevent exploitation, the government has legally created a situation where an internship is almost completely worthless to the intern. Whether or not the laws are actually followed in…
The right choice depends on your target market and what your overall goals are. But my opinion is that for startups, the smartest way to utilize limited resources is to avoid supporting things like IE6 and users without…
"Antitrust law provides some interesting insight into the question IMO. It was established because laissez faire economics failed to prevent monopolies." This is obviously false, both from a logical and historical view.…
Good overview, but it's important to keep in mind that there are definitely some very talented people at Microsoft that have their creativity and talents strangled to death by layers of horrible management. Reading some…
I've built both Firefox and Chrome extensions and would recommend starting with Chrome. Firefox currently has a larger market, but developing extensions in Chrome is MUCH easier and I would recommend that. But it…
Quality of life depends on what you value. If you value living space, you'll be happiest out of NYC. But if you value meeting a lot of cool people, great things to see and do, great mass transit, etc then NYC is great…
What's the issue here?
Why does TechCrunch act as if the random penises are a problem for ChatRoulette? That's what made the site super popular, got it referenced on mainstream television repeatedly, and made it ridiculously hysterical to…
I support Wikileaks. I support 100% free speech. These actions seem very counterproductive to me. * These attacks harm innocent people who are trying to log into PayPal to do their business. * It pushes people on the…
As nice sounding as rent-control is, you can't change economic law with the power of good intentions. When the price of some good is artificially capped below the market equilibrium price, a shortage always occurs. Rent…
