i like joel, his posts always get to the heart of what "everyman" coders deal with and he isn't pompous about anything i've watched him move through lisp, adopt/drop haskell, claim…

stupid. unless they know something about monetary policy, they will either inflate the shit out of it and it will be worthless, or they will too tightly constrain it and their loca…

i don't care how efficient your code is, you can't crawl with two boxes

no story, just a link to a company that has been around for a year? and said link appears out of nowhere to rise to the top of HN even though there is nothing worthy about it? can …

never happen. the difference between the navy's reactors and google's reactor would be a fleet of submarines and f-18s keeping them from falling into the wrong hands

i like obama, but what i will like even more is watching his die-hard cadre of valley-based obamatrons go on suicide watch when he loses, which i think is in the bag since mccain p…

data isn't solved, so search is not solved web documents are not the end of data

apparently coming in IE8 i would do the same in MS's position - if they can't compete in the market, destroy it. if anyone complained to regulators, MS could claim the IE is the la…

I always found it somewhat contradictory and hypocritical that the very people that live off ad-based websites (webbased entrepreneurs and founders) are so highly correlated with t…
