Okay, everyone invent some service failures!

I'm curious: On which platforms can I buy links targeted to "late at night"?

Same issue for me! Unusable without volume control.

I think at some point Apple will sell us "folders within folders" as a gorgeous update that took so long to really get it right.

Wow. 180k. Where can I apply?

Home for start-up business? Yes. For tech start-ups? I don't think so. I have yet to meet one engineer-driven tech start-up from Berlin. Most founders I met and know are some business guys with oh-so-clever ideas looking for just the right CTO guy to make their plan reality. And most German developers I know also never thought about working for a start-up. They happily flock to every large German company you may know. The previous start-up I worked for had more Spanish developers than German ones.

Do StartSSL certificates even work on every browser by default?

"Everything in the box is kind of weird and quirky, but maybe not enough to make it completely worthless. And there’s no clear problem with the set as a whole; it still has all the tools.

Now imagine you meet millions of carpenters using this toolbox who tell you “well hey what’s the problem with these tools? They’re all I’ve ever used and they work fine!” And the carpenters show you the houses they’ve built, where every room is a pentagon and the roof is upside-down. And you knock on the front door and it just collapses inwards and they all yell at you for breaking their door. "

Why?

This makes me sick!

One has to differentiate. There are things that are worth to have once and for life. But most things I gladly buy cheap - because I know I can dispose them later and not a fortune is lost. What If I spend much money on fashionable things that I like, but dislike in 2 years? I rather swap out most of my cheap stuff over the years rather than worry what will last longest and if I might still like it and so on.

In Germany, when you order in the morning before noon, you will most likely get your stuff by the next morning without any special shipping at all. That's how efficient the German postal service is :)

Maybe you tell other Greeks to pay taxes again.

"200-person projects headed by an Engineer"

If you have 200-person projects and still call them projects, you're doing it wrong.

Seriously? Put most tables facing the wall? Who wants to look at a wall and have no screen privacy?

If you find the CSS live preview stuff cool, check out http://cssrefresh.frebsite.nl/ It's awesome. Even with complicated, nested templates and CSS stuff.

I think you just offended a lot of people with CS degrees that call themselves web application developers or do that kind of stuff.

That seems to be a bad idea as most Germans will not be working from May 17 to 20... and I don't know if the hackers and startup-workoholics actually can resist having one, two or more beers for Herrentag/Vatertag :)

Compressing logs that are being written to? Never heard of that...

Okay, and as soon as I switch to JSON, I have not just 5 million referrers logged per day, I also have 5 million times the word "referrer" in my log. Nice.

For Django I like to do

    django-useful-app/
      setup.py
      ...
      useful_app/
        __init.py
        ..

Maybe it's also useful to sync this settings to the Mac App and possibly other apps... an email every time it gets changed would also be useful, in case someone with your login decides to change it. And finally, in teams one should be able to control which member can change this setting for himself, and which not, and the team lead can also set a default what should happen on the right click.. Yeah, that's it.

"The RESTful thinker may design both the payment of an order and the shipping of an order both as updates"

Maybe this thinker got it wrong. How about POST /orders/42/payment to create a payment object?

I'm running Cyanogen... so at least for me it's not fixed.

Check http://time.is/ in your phone's browser. My Android is 1 minute fast :(

First of all: They believe a screenshot to prove identity?

I could've faked that in 10 seconds with Firebug and then told them I make like $10,000 a day with my super hardcore h4ck0r bots and the would have believed it I guess.

Ugh, this guy got APNS wrong. An app never needs to register a device with Apple. It's not Apple who sends something, it's still the developer via APNS.

Oh really. You have the idea, you "just need" a developer and some biz guy?

We actually get 10 TB included... :)
