Calling Monopoly fun is a very bold claim, I don't think I've ever seen a game where players are still having fun by the end. I did a bunch of BoardGameGeek rating analyses recently, one of which was collating a list of "leas

I didn't even realise there was something like this on the market, I'll notch it up as another reason I love my Aeropress.

The past couple of years I've gone back to buying physical CDs and ripping them myself (abcde is fantastic) in the quality and format I like. My music collection is synced to Dropbox and automatically syncs across all my PCs and to my

It actually does, if you open it in Chrome on Android and make the video full screen, a Chromecast icon will appear top left.

I've converted back to physical CDs from buying digital music and love it for a few reasons: * A lot of music I buy actually ends up being the same price for the CD. * I can still rip it at any quality I like into any format I like (I

That and the ability to control core OS packages so other packages can depend on those correctly where needed.

It seems that their AMA app is targeted at non-Reddit users and will coexist with this new one.

Boy would I love to see someone take this and create a reactive web library akin to what Meteor and DerbyJS are trying to achieve.

It's an interesting idea but I can't see how it'd work cleanly in practise. The consumer won't even know what version they're using themselves, which makes documentation and API client updates more difficult than i

Keep in mind this ridiculous legislation has bipartisan support, both major parties are to blame.

We learned Logo using the turtle robot at primary school (this is going back over 20 years) and thinking about it, that was actually my first exposure to programming. Does anyone know if you can still get those turtle robots now? I'm

You had the same idea as me, I think I posted my edit almost exactly when you posted this! Interesting to see a similar correlation in your results in the ratio between the two non-gzipped and gzipped files.

Out of interest, do you have any size comparisons compared to gzipping the raw homogenous JSON text? Edit: I did a quick test by myself, using the first example but repeated for 10,000 objects: Raw: 550111 Homogenius:

Using "this century" to describe the last fourteen years isn't incorrect, but sure feels a bit baitey.

The frontends are barely started yet, most development focus so far has been backend including plugin and Textmate compatibility.

Lime has been around for a little while now, it seems to have a fairly functional backend but still awaiting a high quality frontend implementation. Part of what sets ST apart is the frontend. One of the most impressive goals on the roadma

I can understand the few controversial design choices in Go which limit it's use cases, but would be interested to hear why you claim Rust isn't saner than C++.

Perhaps a good way to monetise without alienating their core users would be to only advertise on the default subs. The vast majority of users are there, including the less technical users who might be more likely to actually consume the ad

People don't use Vim and Emacs for ease of use, they use them for the power and efficiency they eventually provide once you reach a certain level of proficiency.

For those who haven't implemented A* before it can be quite an enlightening experience, and actually isn't too difficult once you dive in. It's a good introduction to priority queues too if you haven't played with them b

It's anecdotal, but I live a fair bit of the time in Guangzhou and noticed a lot of Chinese developers I've met there have taken great interest in Go. The surge in popularity seems to have been since an impressively detailed eboo

The fact that you're trying to stick with strong typing as much as possible is very appealing to me, and now I'm convinced to try to port my new project from Martini to Goji. I think this is a good point to differentiate yourself

I can't even wrap my head around why someone would care about fully permissive licenses over GPL for front end JavaScript libraries, everyone gets access to your source when you serve it to them anyway.
