I agree with hythloday's observation that, in this instance, the problem stayed consistent, it was the process that needed fixing. While the prize hopefuls were only focused on the outcome, MacCready realized that the process was equally im

Hmm... GeekTool for OS X might be able to work for something like that. Or you could always go the super lo-fi route and create a folder of images and set them to rotate as your desktop background.

I second Evernote. While I don't use it for this particular problem, I use it for TONS of other things. I can't even tell you how many apps this single app has replaced for me.

Not sure what OS you're on, but I use Mac OS X's Sticky Notes to remember commands that I don't use often. I use a single note for each tool and I write down the commands along with a brief description. So all I have to do is bring up my

That's fine, I can understand that. Sometimes I just get a bit perturbed by questions along the lines of "what's the best way to get on the front page of site x?" I get upset because, from a marketing standpoint, it isn't even that importa

I guess I'm just not understanding where you're going with this question. It seems like you're trying to figure out all the variables that go into a high profile post. Quite frankly, I don't see the point in that. Is it possible for an unkn

Sorry buddy, no conspiracies here. If your project is interesting (or generates some form of controversy) then you can certainly gain some traction. If not, then prepare to get ignored.

I agree with this 110%. Starting the day out with productive work was a key element for me moving from a chronic procrastinator to a productive individual. I took it one step further though. I knew how weak I was from years of habitual web

This doesn't have to be an either/or conversation about the relative importance of teachers vs technology. Teachers will always be needed and valued (above everything else, someone has to create content for technology to disseminate). The t

My 100% honest opinion... there isn't enough value at present to warrant a paid plan. Your platform looks nice, but I think the business model that drives it will need to be rethought. One of the issues here is that the problem you're attem

I agree that some decks are a bit messy. I usually just make my own. It doesn't take that long, and I figure it's a good excuse to review and distill the information anyhow.

If you're just interested in the takeaway from this article, here it is: spaced repetition works. We've known that it works for a long time. If you want to use this in your learning endeavors, I recommend checking out Anki, an open source

So far, everyone seems to agree that every project has unique problems and solutions, and that node.js has a place. The real argument here seems to be that people are tired of "node hipsters" and "hype". Get over it. What's the point in was

Agreed, I like the concept but much of the responses are just flippant. There are a couple useful gems in there though.

If you're just trying to validate an idea, you probably want to stay away from actually charging a credit card. A simple call to action and email submit should suffice. You could do a mock shopping cart, just be aware that charging credit

"What's the best strategy to get from having no startup to having one that provides you with income?" I would argue that the answer to this question is to enter a market that has already been verified for you. In the start-up community ther

Understandable. I think it would be terribly difficult to find a method for managing all the variables that could go into B2C qualification. Solving the B2B question is more than enough for any one company. Cheers and good luck!

Great idea for B2B companies. Not sure how this could apply to B2C lead qualification though.

While I get the gist of this post, it seems to exit the gate by contradicting itself. Asking Google is no different than asking "someone". After all, Google results are just a bunch of "someones" competing for your attention. As a person

I agree. As a beginner myself, I'd been reading about Ruby and Rails for a month or so. Mind you I said READING, not doing. That whole month of reading went out the window the minute I actually sat down at my computer and got busy. Ther

As a beginner at programming, I find _Why to be a breath of fresh air. I realize that experienced coders may berate him for advocating writing sloppy code, but for someone (like me) who is just getting into this deep rabbit hole, I find hi

Personally, I think the best approach to learning RoR is to learn the basics of Ruby first, then move on to Rails. It also helps to work on your own project. Tutorials are ok, but I find them more useful as a tool to see how someone else w

This is one of those sad instances where you see a really great company forget their roots and give their soul wholeheartedly to the idea of becoming huge. This was going to happen eventually. In fact, this issue is the biggest chink in t

In my opinion, anything that improves upon the current system of education in public schools is a welcome innovation. As it stands, teachers have little leeway when it comes to actually TEACHING a class. Teachers are forced to follow a cu

I used to work in the post-production industry here in Chicago, specifically as an editor. I can't think of any well known commercial post-houses that abandoned Avid for Final Cut Pro completely. I know plenty of shops that USE FCP along

Honestly, I never get these posts about "where should I go to do X…?" Seems like a funny thing to worry about when you're in the early stages of starting a business. I've lived in both NY and (currently) Chicago for a number of years, but I
