They just need a much better platform for browsing. It would make a huge difference in at least my own usage of their service.

I wondered that too until I realized it was the Twilio blog, so they would need the use case to fit their particular service.

This is where I've found Lynda's tutorials great. They align the text to the video so you can see and read at the same time. I was able to get pretty far by reading Unity In Action though, which was purely just a book tutorial and

While I don't think he was airbrushing or anything, even Ansel Adams did quite a bit of work in post processing to achieve the effect he desired. All of that work has simply moved over to Photoshop where you can get the desired effect

That wasn't quite as mind blowing as I was expecting. I guess after working on a lot of video projects I can sense when documentaries are taking a narrative license or using music and sound effects to enhance the scene, so that sort of

I disagree that this is a driving factor in getting college grads, even if it might be one of the reasons. College education gives you a wide breadth of knowledge and critical thinking skills that could be applied to many subjects. Its also

I think what you're getting at is the old adage of doing things in moderation. Little bit of alcohol seems to have more positive effects than none at all, severely negative effects when overdone. Same with many drugs, foods and types o

Haven't really thought about the safety and maintenance part of this before. If people own their self-driving cars I suppose there's also a chance they can opt-out of software updates, which would potentially be very dangerous. I

Do these leadership or company principles ever truly have any effect on employees or products? I've seen them thrown around at my company on a few occasions, but they never feel like they drive much beyond trying to be one of those gau

I did have a really snarky thought that maybe a good chunk of those who voted for Trump thought it meant they didn't need to pay taxes, but I know better than that.

Well now I'm pretty curious, how does McDonald's operate all of their distribution channels with the whole franchise/renting model? Most of the Micky D's I've seen have tons of freezer food that they put through var

Thats actually much higher than I would have thought, I was under the impression they operated on 1% or less margins. Maybe not a great margin, but 2.6 billion isn't anything to sneeze at.

You probably won't avoid the fluctuating entirely, but the airline rep apparently will be more willing to cut you a good deal over the phone, versus the robot on Kayak or Priceline. Insofar as you can probably get the true value of the

There's another wrinkle with buying plane tickets: they fluctuate, seemingly at random, on a daily basis. Apparently its now better to call up the airline directly than to buy online because the prices are so unpredictable. I'll w

Yea totally agreed and I pointed this out. The rules from the Dept. of Transportation are for consumer protection and not for airline protection. But you are correct that employees have now twisted this to mean that they are "legal

There's a quote that goes something like "never let a good catastrophe go to waste" or something like that. This would be a pretty good time for a start-up airline to step in and shake things up. Problem with the airline indu

As I understand it they followed the procedures and rules just as they are defined and in the law. Had the guy willfully gotten out of his seat he would have been compensated the "involuntary bumping" rate that is set by the Dept

Yea, I'm not going to share which airline or which branch (other than to say it wasn't United or Chicago), but I have a relative who works at a pretty high position in one of them and they were, to my great surprise, in defense of

I think he means he types it out accidentally, we've all been there. Bonus points for when you're doing it on a screenshare or projector.

If you're an oh-my-zsh user there is a handy part of the .zshrc config for enabling and customizing the timestamp format. Dead simple.

The industry is in a weird space these days. If you build for mobile the best bets are either focusing on a small handful of free-to-play micro transaction games or focusing on many bite-sized, $1.99 or ad-supported games. Those who build f

Strange if that's the norm now too, some of the best games of the 90's seemed to all come out of dedicated teams who just loved their craft. In fact most of my favorite games I could probably point to a development team that worke

The thing that I'm not super clear on is how IoT will benefit many of us when the data will likely be owned and kept close to the various companies that are harvesting all of it. I see why it would be advantageous of a smart Mr. Coffee

Yea, not to defend that type of gameplay, but this is basically the point. Uncharted and Tomb Raider and the like are out to make interactive movies. Its a great way to avoid the sort of awkward sequences you get in many games where an enem

Well if we're going to be making generic claims I'll just add my own anecdotal observation: I notice Teslas all the time in Portland now. They are easy to spot and it brings a smile to my face. On the other hand Fords tend to blen

There are major spoilers to the movie Arrival in this article, so make sure you watch it (or read the short story) before reading this.

I watch a lot of crash course personally. They've continued to put out good content (well save for their recent cartography debacle). They are mostly funded through a single embedded ad, Patreon and some PBS deals it seems, so YouTube

I'm just going to take a moment to say that Sunday Morning on CBS has been one of my favorite news programs since...well as long as I've been watching television. It was usually on before we went to church in the morning when I wa

I think its a fundamental problem with teaching science history. We tend to look at achievements in history as being inevitable, like of course we discovered flight after the locomotive was invented, that's just how it happened! But th
