Man, that is a painful criticism. I applaud those that created git, those that maintain it, and those that document it. I know you meant all of this in a good way to help them get their site in order, but even if the…

There is nothing wrong with studying this approach and trying it out to see whether the interpretations are more helpful. However, insufficient data and insufficient technique are common when studying extremely complex…

Ugh. This is so wrong, even though some of the arguments are valid criticisms. Why is it wrong? Transactions and referential integrity. Without being able to guarantee transactions that update data in the database along…
This is nothing. What I'm more concerned about for Google's sake is all of the people giving up their Android phones for iPhones. It isn't an immediately obvious trend but it will be within the next two years as…
If it isn't a K-cup, it probably isn't fresh enough. Also, the place I just left had awful coffee. It was so bad that once when a coworker cleaned the grime that built up in the coffee pot for the past few years of use,…
I have a lot of respect for Joel and Fog Creek, and those that work for them. Good job getting a position there. That said though, if I were working for Joel, I'd not be writing blog posts about getting a job, I'd be…
"What really sets Haiku apart, though, is its efficiency and speed. On my three-year-old desktop computer, Haiku boots up from a cold start in 10 to 15 seconds, and when running it uses only about 170 megabytes of RAM."…
Valid points, but isn't it awful also to have a company that basically wastes people's time and keeps them from doing anything but consuming? I think computers should be employed to do useful things like 1. help us…
And this is why it is a bad idea to look for null or nil as a value representation in place of text or number. Instead, use a different representation, like an empty or non-existent element/attribute, etc.
Do you really think sharing this info on HN will do much good? Seems like it is just a "injection attack me" sign for a bunch of Wordpress sites.
I feel the same way about LXDE and Lubuntu, except I didn't do it because of Unity. I actually like Unity- I just don't like how bloated the desktop has become in Ubuntu. People were fine with the UI in Windows 3.1, but…
So- if there is anything unfair about this, it is that small companies that can't choose to relocate from Cali bear the tax burden. But it is ridiculous to make it look like Apple is avoiding paying its bills. Instead…
