Is there a niche out there for the GitHub of science? My cofounder (mikeknoop on HN) puts a lot of his scholarly research code stuffs on GitHub, but perhaps a more specialized place with emphasis on peer review would be more appropriate.

This is a valid question which is why I was kind of hesitant to mention the price... I knew someone would mention this. That said, we definitely talked it over and there were a lot of reasons for keeping it internal. Call it an investment.

I've always been very trusting of open source software. I've often thought "surely someone else has looked through this source code" and just assumed that malicious code never hits stable releases. The same goes for "verified" binaries, pac

What these simplified self help books do well: they wrap important concepts into sound bytes that you can take with you wherever you go. The fact that any given concept might not be revolutionary to you in particular is irrelevant. The pe

Very few things have changed the face of programming as much as Stack Overflow did. I'm not sure that the Exchanges foray into other subjects will yield as successful products, but one can dream. For fun, I even did a quick look at my Chrom

I disagree with this comment: "are you afraid Google is sitting at home drooling over the fact that you bought your shoes from JcPenny?" I'm sure Google doesn't consciously care, but the fact that they track it it can seriously screw you if

Thanks! Its a bummer to see Tropo sunsetting their IM API, but such decisions must be made.

Nonsense. Perhaps your choice to use Node.js is suboptimal? That isn't an indication of Node.js's quality, it's an indication of your inability to choose the right tech. People choose tools that make it easier to do something, Node.js accom

Listen to this man! We're struggling with the same thing at my startup ( https://zapier.com/ ), and having a robust way to hit some of the crazy API's out there is by far the most difficult thing we've come across.
