OOP - Outdoors Oriented Programmer
The Americans that reject it do so because of a lack of education. The educated classes generally don't draw a line in the sand on most things, regardless of where you live in the world. The uneducated have opinions…
I think it would be a great idea for cost, but is not comparable to a properly-trained animal in most scenarios. My mother is blind and also has a cochlear implant (basically is just shy of being deaf) and has had a…
*broken record But again, no sign of WebRTC in Safari's release (even though it's in Webkit, no?)
Arms per minute?
SEEKING WORK -- Remote, based in Minneapolis Hey! I'm John and I'm a full-stack generalist web developer. Freelance for the last 12 years. I split my time about 75/25 between direct-to-client web software projects and…
Facebook wouldn't likely exist if it wasn't for PHP. Zuck wrote something quickly in what he knew. They were able to deploy quickly, scale quickly, etc. Internally, they likely had the hope to migrate off of it at some…
VW is not in the same situation in the U.S. though. They have a lot of competition (they're not even in the top 10), so if they didn't do it in the the EU, but cheated on the U.S. models, there would be vastly differing…
I do love that John's blog doesn't actually use jQuery itself (likely because it's not needed in this instance). Or any javascript for that matter, other than analytics...
So, what happened during the AWS outage this past Fall? Or did you restructure to provide failover beyond just moving platforms?
WebRTC is a huge one that comes to mind. With the App Store and Facetime in the same wheelhouse, there's no compelling reason to develop this area for Apple. It would be a HUGE win for the general web if they did, but…
Service-based businesses are notoriously difficult to scale. I certainly make more on my own after a decade than I did when I had employees.
It doesn't have to be groundbreaking to make a boatload of cash. Think Purell.
My wife is #1 on the list, then just curiously, I scrolled to the bottom. The last 3 spots are populated by ex's.
Sorry, that wasn't what I had meant at all. I meant that if they're used to dealing with people who are constantly working the system, why would they ever go into their job thinking positive thoughts about the people…
Considering who she was detained with ("I soon found myself locked in a room with a pedophile, a woman smuggling $25,000 in cash and unsavory others"), they were right perhaps to not give her the initial benefit of the…
They won't use it for anything other than to raise the value of their valuation. If they court a buyer, all of that cash in hand just raised their buying price by $500m.
So, since there's really no difference between $10 for DO and $20 for Linode, what providers are out there that'll have a solid API or provisioning panel, a great network and great service? Doesn't matter if it's 50…
Yes, it stops at the top if there's enough public weight behind it. The guy was star struck about the work that could potentially go in his portfolio and was screwed because he didn't lock up contracts ahead of time.…
Yes, it's bad PR, but it's not Spike Lee's issue. Sure, he could be better at the PR angle, especially for a person in his current position, but considering how he got to his position, I would guess that good PR wasn't…
As a 10 year freelancer, doing a ton of agency work, it's not Spike's issue. His production company hired an agency to do ad promotion for a movie he "helped" make. The design guy was star struck and fairly new in the…
I don't see this topic as being any different than any other business pursuit. As a general rule, it takes money to make money. The very pervasive and (extremely) unlikely perception that your company can "make it"…
Build a system with what seems to be a good, logical set of usage assumptions and you will find that once it's out in the wild, you will get people trying all kinds of different ways of using your system. It defies your…
Considering that developers are usually the ones that recommend hosting decisions to their clients (since the clients generally have no clue about who to go with), they just chopped off the main artery of their business…
At least they signed on the line before the news broke. And hope that it was a cash-only deal, since the value had probably dropped once that went to the wire.
Not quite "all" the character... it's great in many ways (awesome biking infrastructure, very affordable housing, great restaurants/bars/coffee), but there's a huge upside to the weather that San Francisco has. Perhaps…
