I've never developed for iOS, but on my iPhone when I go to okcupid.com it somehow 'redirects' to the okcupid app on my phone. So it seems there is some capability for this built in that website developers can take advantage of.

They described the plastic as 'organic', hopefully this means it comes from somewhere other than from petroleum - does anyone know enough to comment? If it means organic as in 'carbon-based compound' then it's just redundant.

The second-last paragraph makes a point I've seen touched on a few times but never fully developed: That the labor of software developers is an economic complement to code. When developers write code and release it for free, we are commodit

Not realizing what was meant by "spinner", I spent a few seconds waiting for the cool javascript demo to load before I realized.

This is a neat, memorable way of explaining what Steve Blank calls [Customer/Market Risk versus Invention Risk]( http://steveblank.com/2009/05/28/vertical-markets-2-customer... )

I love the idea that we shouldn't inhibit ourselves or get stuck in ruts. But I felt like many of the items on this lit boiled down to 'Consume. But consume something novel and tell yourself it's somehow virtuous'

Wouldn't any code of ethics endorsed by Harvard view hacking MIT as a virtuous act?

Out of curiosity, where do you live/host? I've been thinking about creating a bitcoin poker game but it would probably be foolish from the US

By SoFL I assume you mean South Florida? Can you comment on the startup scene/general market for developers there? I grew up in West Palm and would like to try living there again.

I'm working in biology now, and a good example of researchers who produce quality, documented code that other people find useful is the Knight group at UC Boulder. They write python with good docs and support, publish the algorithms they co

The Moe's burritos in Tallahassee has a series of photos on the wall that appear to be famous photos of musicians (eg. John Lennon, Slash, Bob Marley), but if you look closely it's a lookalike and there's a small caption beneath that says s

Idle speculation: Wouldn't it be cool if we plotted a user's total karma next to the trend of their name and it turned out to look like an integral?

I came here with that exact quote in my clipboard. Also entertaining is the hand-wringing and explaining that goes on whenever someone notices that education doesn't perfectly predict income.

I think this idea comes from when most vehicles had carburetors rather than fuel injectors. If fuel consumption were driven by airflow into the engine rather than electronically controlled, I imagine there would be some benefit to coasting
