When I learnt about this in design school, I went ahead and created a quick and dirty web app that'd construct the canon for me, instead of having to draw a bunch of geometry on paper. Here are the links to [1] the app, [2] the blog po

So, I suck. I couldn't let go of any of my precious precious hoarded domains, so I bought a new one for the occasion.

Wil Shipley has always been my programming hero, growing up. I spent a lot of time reading his Pimp my Code series, and learned quite a few things about Cocoa from him. Not only is he a great coder, he's also an incredibly compelling w

That is actually incorrect. Many here have replied that only 83(b) elections only pertain to RSUs. In fact, it also applies to early-exercised ISOs; when you buy the shares before they actually vest. Source: I've done this. I've e

I think this is a fallacy. Easy deployment has nothing to do with why PHP is still this popular; I think it has a lot more to do with PHP being beginner-friendly, in that when things break, they always semi-work as opposed to leaving the wa

Valuing any company by comparing it to Twitter, a company many consider to be crazily overvalued, seems somewhat inaccurate... I'm sure the Dropbox board has a better idea of what the company is actually worth.

I'm having a hard time understanding how, 1. Facebook figures Snapchat is worth $3B, and 2. Snapchat figures Snapchat is worth more than that, and refuses the offer. The valuation multiples lately have gotten me to wonder what I'm

Like swombat, I'm also a swiss citizen living abroad (in San Francisco), and will be voting for this referendum. Basic income is the ultimate fair and bureaucracy-less social safety net: there is no burden of proof, and nobody gets lef

Wow… I had no idea people still remembered Twinkle. I was one of the engineers at Tapulous, back in the day, and worked briefly on Twinkle. That service was actually a huge disaster for us. The users were mostly tweens, and we had a huge Ch

I've been using Square Cash for a few months, and it's worked flawlessly. (A friend used it to send me money, and I jumped on the bandwagon; didn't even realize it was pre-release!) Square is attacking the consumer payment ma

This is huge. I recently spent ~$200 on AT&T's $30/120MB bundles on a two-week trip to Europe. I thought I was getting a good deal, too. It's fantastic to see the market shifting slightly in favor of the customers.

For what it's worth, I was dissatisfied with most Ruby frameworks (aka. Rails & Sinatra), so when it came time to build up a massive project on a Ruby backend, I rolled my own minimal (<1kloc) Ruby framework. https://

Swatch already tried this with the Swatch Beat ("Swatch Internet Time")[1]. I actually owned a beat-capable watch for a while. I think the beat was better in that it was easier to reason relative to the day: a day was 1000 beat, a

Buying shares on a publicly traded and regulated market (like NYSE), through your usual stock broker, would be a lot safer and more convenient for many investors than the current options available for investing into bitcoin. You don't

This is somewhat off topic; but I have to say I am quite disappointed by the way in which PandoDaily puts out its events. I was quite looking forward to seeing Tom talk; so I got my first PandoMonthly tickets. The event started at 6, with t

I think the currency should have been specified in this poll. It's a little ambiguous as to whether this should be read as GBP or USD. (Though I imaging most responses would have used the former.)

I think you misread the poll. The highest bracket is $150+/h, it doesn't even go near $400.

I did not answer the poll, since I rarely do consulting these days. But when I do (short gigs, usually <50h), I charge $125/h.

I wrote this comment with the assumption that we all understand the security implications of what's going on, which is why I probably did a poor job of making my point. However, I think that relying on a single easy-to-compromise security t

I find it interesting how much TextMate has declined. A few years ago, I believe it would have been the #1 response on this list. TextMate 2 these days, in the hands of the community, is truly excellent. The UI and UX has improved tremendou

I don't understand why a secret token is even necessary. This seems like bad design. As a matter of principle, the server should never trust the client. If authentication is necessary, it should be done on every request. If that is the case

I know that's not what you mean, but I find it quite amusing that you describe Oracle (a 30 year old company)'s business as convincing people they need to do things the same way Google (a 15 year old company) does it.
