I am done with the Freemium Business Model « Tyler Nichols Weblog I have come to the realization that most people who want something for free will never, ever think of paying you, no matter how valuable they find your service. (…) Free customers are higher maintenance than paying customers. Great discussions and points of view in the comments.

viafrank : I’ve been thinking about Louis CK lately. I’m a fan of his show on FX, and I’m so happy his recent adventure in distributing his newest comedy special himself has been a rousing success. But my thoughts are going elsewhere to wonder why he has blown up in popularity in the past couple years, and why his comedy seems to resonate with these times. It always feels like there’s a comedian willing to address contemporary concerns with insight and honesty for each moment in time. All the greats had their focus: Richard Pryor and Chris Rock had race, George Carlin had absurdity, and I think Louis has hit on some sort of subterranean undercurrent of emotion that I didn’t realize might be swelling until I listened more closely: shame. ...

The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!) – Joel on Software In this article I’ll fill you in on exactly what every working programmer should know. All that stuff about “plain text = ascii = characters are 8 bits” is not only wrong, it’s hopelessly wrong, and if you’re still programming that way, you’re not much better than a medical doctor who doesn’t believe in germs. ...

I Stalked Steve Jobs (And How To Get A Meeting With ANY VIP) – Forbes I would no longer see barricades. Stumbling blocks would now be seen as stepping stones to something better, or something to crawl over or walk around. Previous limitations would now be a mere triviality, at worst a slight inconvenience. There were insanely great things to create and we were here to create them and that’s all there was to it. All thoughts to the contrary were irrelevant. ...

Web API Versioning Smackdown | mnot’s blog The key insight here, I think, is that URIs are used for so many things — persistent identifiers, cache keys, bases for relative resolution, bookmarks — that overloading them with versioning and extensibility information as well makes them worse for all of their various purposes. By pushing these concerns into link relations and media types using HATEOS, you end up with a flexible, future-proof system that can evolve in a controllable way, without giving up the benefits of using HTTP (never mind REST). ...
