    You can fork it but not commit to it? LOL

    Tragically I installed it recently on mac and it "froze up" after awhile. Chrome never freezes for me. I like FF but dislike instability. Maybe it's just me...

    I've had count(*) queries take like literally days in Postgres. Want to insert a lot of data? Expect it to cost a lot of RAM. It's got high features but some really rough edges too…

    At least it's released at all, but yeah, not a community collab :|

    Though I suppose if there are performance improvements, it might be more of a 15% pay cut, or 10% [?]

    Yes I suppose the real question is would those employees "elect" for a 6 hour day with a 25% pay cut, or not...that would give you something of a feeling for whether the benefits o…

    I heard once anecdotally that google side projects are sometimes "supposed to be work related" so not quite as free as you'd imagine, FWIW...or perhaps they're not dunno never work…

    Did you negotiate the 6-hour-day up front or just...uh...you know...work 6 hours, as it were?

    I get the same effect from eating "something with cheese on top" that I do from eating sugary stuff (makes me want to eat more, makes me feel less full). I always assumed it was th…

    It's not clear if you're asking about solo developer or "solo company" as it were. Anyway, typically if you're doing a startup the advice is to get a partner. Then maybe you're not…

    oh yeah text field, that's an interesting option and people might even use it as an easy work around [LOL]. I guess you could make the viewable size like 1 char then it won't be mu…

    Interesting point that we eat too much sugar (which in turn makes us over eat at meals, and thus become obese). It's like a cultural thing though, maybe we can change it slowly som…

    In the short term, as long as you don't have any password/CC prompts, you can continue using HTTP. In the long term you'd have to "hope" the whole web transitions to https and just…

    Appears it should be OK unless some inline embedded images are hard coded to " http://" in which case the browser will, I believe, refuse to even try and load them, so you may need…

    The only problem is if those subdomains have a password input field "somewhere" on their sites, AFAICT. Or are you referring to google's "later" plans to add a red exclamation poin…

    For anyone interested, for my "hobby" projects naming conventions, one tip/trick is that you don't have to worry about the domain name being available (just competition with the "r…

    I do like the part about focusing on "the next feature for your customer" though, customer centric can take you far, that's good...most/many hobby projects focus on only the next "…

    I like it, except for the part about "refactor later" in my mind the best way is refactor "first" so that adding your feature is "easy"...though I don't always follow my own advice…
