I hadn't read this submarine article before. This just blew my mind. I've got so many ideas for promoting my side business now.

I'm familiar with that process. I was trying to illustrate a picture of how a poor developer might stumble their way into this situation. It's technically possible to store the use…

I'm hesitant to agree with you because it happens so frequently. I'll admit that I've had my share of receiving newbie bashing. More often than not, I feel like talking with those …

Have you considered making the question the first line? I think I understand your reasoning. If you lead with the question, then write a bunch of stuff. When they finish reading an…

I think the feedback was, this looks like a very simple (but possibly useful) app, it should not have such heavy dependencies.

In my experience, many tables don't have a userid on the table that would be associated with the user. It would be a table join or two or three away. So the developer may think it …

I'm in CA, single earner family, we don't pay even half of my salary in (property/income/sales) taxes. I'm not sure I agree with your sentiment. I suppose if you decided to buy a p…

Nginx is giving away an ebook with email newsletter subscription.

Thank you for the excerpt.

I prefer to use `ls -lah` which always shows the dot files. It sure would be nice if these were placed in a different folder. Maybe ~/.../ to put all the things. Sure, cat ~/.bash_…

Yes, we're quite familiar with MS license audits and the auditors don't even know how everything should be licensed. Good point, thanks.

I see these comment sections get somewhat rowdy and negative. Anyone care to comment on the other side of things? Are there any "it may be down, but it is up quite often and saves …

My brother-in-law lives in LA, and parks there every day. He honestly tries not to get parking tickets, but he's been towed once or twice because the street wasn't clear. I know he…

Sounds like advertising. I don't want any ads in my imgur feed. I don't want any ads in the magazines I _BUY_ I don't want any ads in the movies I PAY to go to watch (trailers and …

They have quite a few zero fee index funds.

Thanks, some sales, some support, some customer inquiries. We've looked at salesforce, but that got a no. I'll check out the other links you've provided, thank you.

We've got several departments that could benefit, but in particular two of our departments get hundreds of emails per day CC'd to a group of 5-8 people. There is wasted time and ef…

Another unfortunate factor is.... if you take the plea for 2, case closed. If you don't take the plea, then that makes a lot more work for everyone involved (justice department) to…

Heh. This is a copy/paste comment from the last dozen leaks.

What's worse about dev is that chrome auto-forwarded to the https version even if you were using it internally for testing using your hosts file.

It's from folks visiting his site. (Linked.)

I'm a coder DOING some of these conversions. I see both sides of the coin here. One additional point I wanted to mention is that once we have done one or two, or a dozen of these c…

I think you missed the point. The comment you replied to is stating that excel does not have these things. Proper software engineering will have these. Excel is fast, but also easy…

What you have written here is what I came to logically myself as well. However, it would then be more difficult for someone in Sacramento to ask someone in San Francisco what time …
