ITT: People who don't React well to critical feedback from new users

And Blue Box ( https://www.blueboxcloud.com/ ) a month and a half ago. Looks like they're investing in or acquiring cloud platform software companies like gangbusters at the moment…

I feel like completely specifying the problem does everyone in an actual engineering interview a disservice and isn't a good analogue to actual engineering problem-solving. That sa…

> For a time, Target used Amazon's website code. I remember getting the email saying that we no longer had to special case Target stuff in the retail platform. 'Twas a joyous day a…

I attended this conference and spoke with the presenter about his talk both before and after. My takeaway was that the presenter was trying to accomplish one thing: educate front-e…

I would imagine this has something to do with having an existing package dependency management system company-wide and it causing friction trying to get the two to coexist. I have …

Another identifier which would seem to help accomplish the task is identifierForVendor. As a bonus, it isn't something that can be opted out of like the advertisingIdentifier.

Maybe it's just being on a team that's more focused on nontechnical users, but I still see plenty of PowerPoint. Product, sales, and business process people seem to swim in the stu…

This is how I first learned about CSS circa 2001. More importantly, you could provide your browser user-defined CSS. My first entry? Making any link from goatse.cx struck-out and b…

Neither. If you look at the S3 URL, they are URLs with expiry times after which they stop serving the content. The cryptographic signature makes it... let's call it "infeasible" to…

I had a conversation with a senior engineer on SourceForge where he pointed out that most people forget that developers are actually a minority of their business: most of their use…

I've observed over the years that people who I respected as "good at what they do" disproportionately often use a journal to keep track of their work. I'm starting a job soon and w…

I think I understand the motivation behind your comment and I'd agree to some extent, but designers still have the mantra that users need to be involved in the process of design. F…

I think you give your own creation too little credit. I would have never found Peanuts by Bukowski without you, and that was worth all my internets. I never saw it on reddit, never…

Never did I expect to have this discussion about "brogramming" as a legitimate phenomenon. My knee-jerk reaction is to lament that this is a misunderstanding of language/culture an…

Add to that the mapping companies, lala.com, Fingerworks for multitouch, Siri, PA Semi and Intrinsity for semiconductors, and a whole lot of other tiny but massively differentiatin…

Are you associated with Confnow? I only ask because of the newness of your account.

Thanks. Here's the reddit post you were talking about, I believe: http://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/qjgkk/show_reddit_... Could you comment on what proportion of the CLECs …

> It doesn't look like traffic pumping. What makes you feel confident about this? The assertion that "We get paid from termination" strikes me as very much that sort of arrangement…

Can you maybe elaborate on how you're getting paid from termination? Perhaps I abused the term "traffic pumping", but this definitely sounds like the sort of of thing I was picturi…

Where are these calls terminated? I ask because I am always concerned that these sorts of services are being monetized by pumping traffic[1] into Iowa. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/…

Thank you. I knew that it was an editor feature I'd seen before for lisp code, but didn't recall the name of any one in particular.

Something I'd be curious to hear from the pretty lisp designers: what advantages do you feel this offers over an Emacs which just highlights the symbol of interest or region betwee…

To clarify, "lazy" isn't a pejorative in this case. It's just the technical term for deferring work until it needs to be done. "Eager" would be the term for doing everything right …

Interesting. If I were interested in the current recruiting landscape for high school athletes, do you happen to know of any good survey or review-type sources? I'm curious about t…
