"Monster Coloring Book is like fingerpainting without the mess." Mess is good! :D But it looks fun and the monsters are nice. Tip: increase the contrast of your navigation items. My parents/grandparents can't read that too well. Also: maybe

I can FizzBuzz 6 languages in 3 minutes, it's nothing for an engineer to be proud of, I'm a designer. Advice about Haskell? Drop it for now, you need food on your table.

Airbnb should have had a backup plan, not the victim. Note: i feel terrible for the Airbnb folks. I hope they get out of this mess.

Acquaintances have said they'd probably not use Airbnb for fear of problems like this. After this incident and Airbnb's response, they will never even consider it. And they will tell all their acquaintances, etc, etc.. Airbnb's Achilles'

Where Orwellian phenomena are seen (even if it requires a little squinting), they mustn't be ignored.

I'm not perfect either, I like my autocomplete and history controls as well. Hackers save time and take shortcuts, and for me that means using the command-line. I want to access the options of a program that are not found in your menus ;)

"You may think it a badge of honour that you can do “$ git rm –cached readme.txt” from memory." Well unless you are mentally disabled, remembering that command (and a couple of thousand others) is trivial. The title is complete nonsense.

" What that quickly meant to me was that wasting time and opportunities were criminal, with my own potential achievements as victims that needed to be rescued from the assault of lost hours and non-productivity. " Beautiful writing.

Tisa is quite nice, I've used it for customers that required a warm, personal appearance. The article itself is poorly "typeset", Tisa requires a line-height far above 1.3em. The author also has an inexplicable love for the "·" character, w

25,500 ~ Dutch. I'd hoped to score at least median, disappointing. My exposure to English is pretty much limited to TV, 19th century literature, day-to-day conversations, and tech articles.

" The sheep era is over. The interwebz are no longer your prison. " Isn't the problem with being a sheep that you're anonymous? I don't get it, to me Anonymous exemplifies the metaphorical herd perfectly.

" peer review is costly (in terms of time and money) " This is an objection why? Of course science costs time and money. "However, journals do perform a service of sorts: they filter papers, ostensibly based on interest to a community,

" (physical and emotional) " It's rationality that stops one from not eating the cake. One's physical and emotional "sense" wil tell one to eat the damn thing (if it looks good!). Similarly, unknown USB sticks should be used rationally.

Nicole is very competent, but CSSLint is crap. I agree there _is_ a problem with CSS, but solutions will need to be far less dogmatic.

I'm sorry to say, but I agree that Kagan's a total douche, both for this and previous remarks online. The amount of posts about sexism is starting to annoy the hell out of me, but it does deserve attention.
