http://pinterest.com/source/amzn.to/ has lots more, and they all have the default Twitter avatar which gives them away. Lots of them have terrible or inaccurate descriptions and are in the wrong category.

I've done years setting lots of goals, and done years when I set none. Even though ending the year with a list of "failed" goals is difficult, I much prefer it to not setting any at all. Building a habit is easy to measure and gives good sh

It's really down to personal preference and what you're developing. If you're developing web software that will run on Linux then developing on the same platform will save a lot of headaches down the line. Another advantage is that is doesn

DDG has a lot of short commands like this. There's a list of regular ones here: http://duckduckgo.com/goodies.html (stuff like "is it raining?"). More technical commands are here: http://duckduckgo.com/tech.html (like IP address lookups

Maybe combine this with LOC to find swears per line, or include the language for find which ones cause the most swears. Maybe leaderboards too (like CurseBird) to find the sweariest projects & developers.

This is pretty interesting (and entertaining). Another idea would be the reverse - find trending videos on a particular subject and post an insult to try and get some profile views. For example, typing "star wars" would post things like "12

RescueTime is excellent for finding the things that eat your time. It's especially useful for finding out how much time is spent "just browsing for a few minutes". I only wish there was better support for the Linux client.

I don't agree that this will "send ripples through the Indie community for years to come" as the article suggests. Perhaps people will be a little more wary about putting up cash for a project on the the promise that it will be finished one

The title of the article is slightly misleading in that it's $7,000 per person, so it's actually $14K in this case. I know that's a little nit-picky, but things like rent would eat a good chunk of that $7k. Living on $14k is certainly possi

Even if you're not an assembler expert, there are a lot of detailed comments that explain how things are done. Well worth a read if you're interested in the real guts of classic games.

The !bang syntax is definitely one of DDG's best features. Being able to access a few hundred site searches with a keyword is incredibly powerful, and saves time on creating quick searches in Firefox. (The full list of !bang commands http:

I'm skeptical that this is only 6 months away (6 years sounds more reasonable), but I'm still curious about the ramifications of synthetic meat. Would it be more energy efficient to grow meat in a factory than in the fields? What are the en

Felt it in Raleigh, North Carolina. Quite strong, and made the whole house shake for quite a while. Figured it was some workers digging outside the apartment. Apparently not.

I think that's the map loader. Rather than writing a special map format, it reads the map from a standard image, with each colour defining a different type of block. This makes it easier to make a map in a short space of time (great for con

It's for Ludum Dare ( http://www.ludumdare.com/ ), a 48-hour game competition. It's quite common for entrants to record their development sessions and release a video at the end, so I'm sure Notch will do something similar.
