nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: No user agent detection for the iPad Mini
It's good because it's not something that should be done.
Ask yourself why you need to detect the user agent.
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: No user agent detection for the iPad Mini
Good. User-Agent detection has always been a hack.

Is it a framework for making a site that looks like it was designed by a pre-schooler? Then, yes, good job.
Otherwise ...
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: Will Rails be the new PHP?
No, that's unlikely. PHP's main advantage is its ease of deployment on shared web hosts: upload your files and you're done.

Just keep your mouth shut about what you do in your own time and you'll be find.
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: Why I Migrated Away From MongoDB
Eventual consistency, yes. What I'm saying is if a few pics disappear for a half hour while things resolve themselves, nobody is going to care... or likely notice.
It's not a bank.
By the way, I believe social networking is mostly bullshit, which is my "LOL" at the "social graph".
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: Why I Migrated Away From MongoDB
What? It's the absolute truth. If someone's wall post or tweet goes missing, it's totally inconsequential.
"Social graph" - LOL.
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: The UK has an entire IPv4 /8 that it isn't using
I have my own /24 routed to my basement. Back in the early/mid 90's could get their own provider independent block.
If I knew now what I knew then, I would've gone for a class B block. lol.
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: OAuth 2.0 and the Road to Hell
I witnessed one guy implement an OAuth 2.0 provider completely wrong (he was accepting user credentials as client credentials, or something similar.) This guy was smart, and just couldn't understand the spec.
Upon reading the spec, it seemed that OAuth2 is really just some rough guidelines. Pick and choose what you need for the particular flow you're implementing.

If it's 1999 again, you know what's around the corner, right? pop

hasn't lying has always been a business model?
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: We have a funded startup but no product
How much did you guys raise initially?
How long did you take to figure out the original idea wouldn't work?
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: Who's the Boss? There Isn't One
This is fairly common (liars and frauds...), though there are some great managers out there: they're just as rare as great developers, and worth their weight in gold when you find them.
nerd_in_rage | 13 years ago | on: Startup Accelerator Fail: Most Graduates Go Nowhere
Most companies go nowhere.
How is this surprising?

I had a UUCP feed through the early 90s. Fun times!
nerd_in_rage | 14 years ago | on: Redesigning the hotel icon
Just use text.
nerd_in_rage | 14 years ago | on: Many .gov domains fail to resolve without www.
actually, the domain does "resolve". it's a web server configuration issue.
nerd_in_rage | 14 years ago | on: Why Isn’t C Memory Safe Yet?
Because then it wouldn't be C?
nerd_in_rage | 14 years ago | on: A startup escape path - what advice would you add to this?
Registering a business is a waste of time and money until you actually have a business to register.

Backbone... I just don't get it. It seems like there's too much complexity. I'm mainly a back-end developer, so perhaps it's just me.
