This is excellent. The funding process is fast and seamless. It took me literally less than 30 seconds to fund a treatment. Kudos for an amazing idea and excellent execution.

I find it somewhat interesting how often people profess that their key to happiness essentially boils down to living the sort of "good life" that in many ways is the Christian ideal, regardless of whether or not they are personally religiou

I'm tempted to contribute to App.net, because it seems like a great idea and I'd like to see it succeed. However, I'm starting to think that I just may have no use for social networks of any kind at all any more. Twitter feels like work to

This is excellent. I'm not convinced that playing games has many benefits for the average teenager, but there's no question in my mind that learning how to build games will have tremendous benefits. A successful iOS game requires expertis

True, thanks for the correction. The person I responded to said "job server" and I'm not 100% clear on what that would cover - perhaps job queue API would fit that description, perhaps it wouldn't.

> When Rails starts including a messaging stack, job server, and more, then I'd be right behind you in your complaint. Actually, Rails 4 does include a job queue: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/adff4a706a5d7ad18ef053... However

I just found that it was an unnecessary, hard to navigate tool. I was much quicker at finding files using Command-T, or, if I didn't know where something was, just browsing the folder structure from the command line.

Didn't Digg use rel="nofollow" on submitted stories? And if so, wouldn't that mean that links from Digg would have zero SEO value?

I went on vacation to Cuba last winter with my family plus my mother-in-law (approx 60 years old) and several of her friends (all around her age). Of the six or seven women on the trip, three had iPads, including my mother-in-law, and they

That was excellent. I despise NERD tree but I also had no clue how to use netrw. Instead, my habit is to use the console to touch files I want created, or to create or remove directories, etc. This little screencast was quite enlightenin

Money isn't everything. If games are art, and many indie games certainly fit that description, then these figures may well be a more profitable and rewarding path for an artist than, say, making paintings.

Also, children are - rather obviously - more likely to put a smooth object in their mouths than a sharp pointy one, and also more likely to swallow it.

Judging from appearance alone (which isn't much to go on, admittedly), it seems like the device could have been a hit in 2004. Likely the OS and other software was nowhere close to where it needed to be, but it's interesting to imagine whe

This sounds great, but I'm wondering how long we can expect the "brief" beta period to be. I've got a client who does not need the $200/month Ronin database, but would be perfectly suited for Crane or this new new basic plan. However, I'm

You're right. Where Apple tends to emphasize family, connectedness, ease of use, utility, and general happiness, Microsoft has chosen to emphasize technology in a harsh, dominant manner that reminds me of the Borg.

It's also exciting because it is potentially of cosmic significance. There may come a time when the entire universe is affected and altered by people, and this is an important step in the journey to attaining that level of science and tech

Everybody keeps telling you that you ought to leave, but that advice isn't terribly helpful, since it is obvious that you already know you need to do that. Often, many of the most difficult decisions in life are not what you should do - b

TwUI's README says that it features "Simplified table view cells", does anyone know exactly what that entails? I kind of hate UIKit's native table view cells, particularly how difficult it is to get them to resize themselves appropriately

If you dig that stuff, you should definitely check out what John 'OO' Fleming is putting out these days. His Essential Mixes are absolute quality, and he's also got a monthly podcast that you can get on iTunes that is very addictive.
