We might be doing fine on average, despite it. Yet, there are seemingly links to autoimmune diseases and cancers, and still more research to do. So maybe a good % of the population…

First off, I think the primary objective should be creating value for the company you work for. Bums in seats, lines of code written does not always produce value. I think any posi…

Cool! If anyone likes these they should check out http://projecteuler.net/ as well.

Startup idea: Build a registry for girlfriends (current or potential) that are offended by porn.

UI looks inconsistent, but I see a lot there to be excited about. If they are taking cues from the phone OS, then that's a very good thing IMO. I've always felt that was one of the…

I don't like this logo at all. It's too complicated and feels contrived. The concept of just the shell was pretty cool, but the three colors doesn't add anything. I don't care what…

I think the lighting is more impressive than the skin. Still, a cool tech demo!

> If HTML5 data-* attributes change during program execution, use jQuery's .attr() method to get the current values. I'm not sure why anyone would want to use an attribute for stor…

I just like how G+ helps me share internet jokes with my friends, and at the same time, still be within my anti-social comfort zone.

Not that I don't appreciate these examples, but they shouldn't have to be in javascript for somebody to learn the algorithm. I've always learned more when I've read some pseudo cod…

Your question tells me you have as good an understanding of the process as you need. Also, I think a good entrepreneur has a sense of what they can't do, ie. marketing, etc. That u…

One of my favourite all time talks was this: http://us.pycon.org/2009/conference/schedule/event/71/ Always a fan of learning new AI techniques with Python.

The design is great and I think you've done a good job at avoiding that spammy look (envisioning stock images of people with perfect teeth looking right at the camera).

http://www.trypython.org/ then http://tryruby.org/ If you like Ruby more, then check out Rails. If you liked Python more then check out Django and Pylons. Of course there are other…

I'm going to assume you're asking about frameworks as well since comparing PHP to CGI Python or CGI Ruby wouldn't exactly be fair (even though some people love to compare Rails/Dja…

As uncomfortable as the thought is, I think I'd give this a shot. Regardless of the reliability of these claims, I respect people who question what's "normal" in society.

I don't think I've gone to random domains since I was on a 14.4 modem. I find it pretty hilarious that that domain can break even just parked.

I can't agree more that company culture is hard to change. Maybe even impossible. Trust is a huge factor in creating that culture, and despite outward appearance, friendship betwee…

Yeah, it sounded more tongue-in-cheek in my head than it comes across in the comment. If this is the reason we see spam results, then the benefit must outweigh the negative effect …

The only benefit I can see to Google are a lot of those spam sites rely on AdSense to make their money. If it makes sense for a developer to register 100 domains and game some keyw…

I think it's some valid info here, and it's certainly worth being wary of the info Google collects, but I also sense a little bit of FUD here. The whole "...which can often uniquel…
