Seeking Work (Remote). We built http://whisper.sh (website, iOS app, Server). We've built iOS apps for MTV, VH1, and others. I don't do a lot of business development; I just get on…

maybe $10 is so high they rejected it? similar to adding a zero on a stock purchase at etrade - they'll call you and tell you you overbid...

Ruby Rescue will be there...

Honestly your tone stings a bit, jacquesm. I guess i shouldn't have titled it 'don't trust rackspace' but my larger point is exactly the opposite of what you wrote - take responsib…

probably not a good idea to comment authoritatively on a company you haven't worked with, but no, kernel management is part of rackspace's job. performance and monitoring is part o…

attempting to ignore snarkyness, but failing - and that says what about the dozens of rackspace engineers configuring and monitoring and supporting the box over the past two years?…

on a separate application and server, yes, and it seems faster than apache/passenger, but it still suffers from the 'passenger choke' where touching tmp/restart.txt seems to pause …

wow. what really impresses me is mint isn't an engineering company - they're a marketing company that put some ajax on top of yodlee. yodlee's been around for over 10 years and the…

I would refer the high-speed-rail types to James Kunstler's brilliant post 'financial crisis called off' where he reminds us... We blather about high speed rail, but you can't even…

definitely at 30% completion - it shows you are a 'computer scientist' vs 'a person who uses computers in his/her job'

i somehow feel like hacker news is tail-recursive, and we've been unrolled by the compiler and are now back at the top of the loop.

if only there was a summary of this article edited for brevity and targeted at a 7th grade reading level, for a mostly retired middle class audience.

US News says georgia tech is the #4 engineering school in the US...

thanks for the comments and that link. definitely not disappointed - i wasn't implying it was a tool as much as wanting to know whether or not people would say 'you must have the s…

And what is your most important tool? Website or desktop tool? Consultant? And do you pay for these tools/services or do it yourself?

ok, here's what i like and dislike about living in argentina and starting up a consulting business and building a product on the side. first, yes, it's cheaper, and yes, the wine i…

Moving to Argentina has given me a newfound respect for the USPS - their reliability, sense of duty, and their humanity. In many ways they are a representative slice of America - f…

You've never read Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. He writes eloquently about how we seem to believe that the only truly real people are those we see on the big screen and if by chanc…

jm4 says it best regarding the quality of editorial content in TC... but i'll just say he doesn't acknowledge that there are very solid business reasons for blocking a competitor l…

But, why not just jailbreak the phone? The article is so hyperbolic... 'i quit tech crunch' is the best one sentence critique of Arrington i've seen yet.
