I'm going to second Patreon as a good revenue source. Those of us that consume the web want quality content, but that content does not come cheaply (think big production, high quality videos with sets, actors, scripts, editing and visu

I probably shouldn't suggest this is like some black and white view of the world, since I do also love a good book store. I don't really care for a Walden's, but I love a good Mom & Pop book store with the book shelves la

I'll have to check out a technical ebook on my ipad mini at some point, that is the largest tablet I own at the moment. I'd be interested in getting a cheaper, large android tablet just for that purpose. I will check out google&#x

Its curious why you would feel any more comfortable with a book that would be ruined by water than with a tablet that would also be ruined by water. I actually get why, there's less at stake for your $10 book than for your $60 kindle,

My experience with technical books in ebook form has been pretty lack-luster so far. I personally like to have my screen dedicated to the IDE and to have the book over on some other screen. This is so I don't lose context in what I&#x2

Much of these books you can borrow for free on your kindle from a library though.

I hope this isn't the trend going forward. I don't get the traditionalist love of paperback books most of the time. Like the sort of people who go on and on about exploring book stores or the smell of new paper. I love my Kindle a

I had read something about how diesel engines can use Urea to trap emissions, but it must be refilled frequently, so possibly other manufacturers are using that method. This is tested and proved to work well. However, VW was using another t

I'll second this, though I don't believe everyone learns this way. At work and previously at school I write notes all the time, not so I can look at them later, but simply so I can recall them better. Something about writing with

I am pretty sure I have heard each of these phrases verbatim from whichever specialist would have said them at one point or another, especially the auto mechanic one, I've heard that one many times.

That was my impression coming away from that talk, I don't agree all code is art in the same way that I don't think all forms of expression are art. They can be art, but they certainly are not always art. I also thought it was

I'm reminded of a TED talk I went to that proclaimed all code is art and everyone should code. I'm just not convinced. When you are coding I get it, coding is awesome and it can be an art, but I don't always see coding to b

I find that some of my co-workers who work the best are ones that are not necessarily good at talking to others, but are good at shutting themselves out from others for periods of time, which helps them get lots of work done. The risky part

I'd like to know more about how ticketmaster has affected the world of live music. Its such a bizarre market of scalping and reselling. You have entire companies now dedicated to the act of scalping, like stubhub, where the artist does

I am very new to Bootstrap, but it has been such an easy tool to get a website professional-looking in no time at all. Great to see all these improvements from such a young library.

This looks great just from glancing over the table of contents. I picked up Python nearly a year ago and I am a pretty novice programmer at best. Over time I've learned stuff like decorators, lambas, args/kwargs and other stuff th

There is a Python library called Eve for creating REST endpoints based on your database schema. I thought that was what this was since that is also in version 0.

Ok, I don't think the article was at all addressing this angle. It was trying to address how in certain demographics there is a real problem with people who do not want to interact with the web, as in they do not want to participate wi

The article notes that older americans are among the fastest adopters today. If you've looked at Facebook recently, you'd see why, its the best way to stay connected with extended family members and see pictures of grandchildren.

A summer camp I went to when I was younger was very heavily focused on swimming and water craft. We had 3 different colored bands to indicate your swimming ability. Red if you couldn't swim well, yellow if you were OK, but not enough f

A thankless job too, I remember hating life guards growing up because they would blow their whistle at all sorts of things. They aren't trying to be jerks of course, but that was my perception when I was very young and just loved swimm

I was pretty disappointed when they ditched that feature, my friends and I used it pretty extensively as we were all attending different colleges, but still loved to play games and chat online. It was buggy for sure, especially when you add

For sure, and I don't believe the problem is very well known right now either. Many female friends I've talked to had no idea that software engineering was such a white male dominated space. I personally think its in a rut right n

Pretty much the same at my current place, most people won't use the kegs until its an appropriate time. I've had a beer at lunch or late afternoon a few times though and its never made me feel less productive. Sipping on a beer wh

Noticing an issue with zoom levels. It appears there is only a national zoom resolution, another at the 4-5 states level and then one more resolution at the tiny, neighborhood level. There's not a good resolution for looking at the sta

This sort of candid camera experiment has been done many times, there are many who will return the items and some who won't. If you truly don't want your things stolen then you just need a buddy to watch your stuff.

I really appreciate a guide that takes you through the process, giving me a chance to understand all of the steps, before sharing the pre-packaged solution at the bottom. I was a little surprised by the cost as well. At the rate that I&#x27
