I don't know what: CE, DLNA, and BOM mean. I think Airplay is some Apple streaming thing?

I definitely see your point of view. Design by committee is enough to wear down the most passionate person. However, maybe they could have said a simple "We're actually working on a spec and two portable implementations (JS, C) ba

I've landed on the guy's markdown pages (he refers to this in the podcast) several times, trying to figure out how to do stuff in markdown. I find the page hard to read (the font is tiny; I always resize it), and the examples rare

I really enjoyed this article (in a sad sort of way). I read an article in the NYT that was sort of similar about a month ago (just looked it up: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/opinion/sunday/nich

It's definitely an interesting read, but I don't know how true it rings to me. > In one admissions cycle, I wrote over a hundred essays and earned enough money to pay my bills for the rest of the year, pay off my car loan, and—

I liked this. I also wonder if it'd be worthwhile for me to take a few months off of work and try just poking away at security bounty programs. I doubt it would pay off to start with, but it seems like a pretty lucrative path. I know t

Great to hear a personal side of this story, from both a technical and human point of view. Thanks.

So, I'm an application developer, for the most part. I write stuff and I don't know a whole lot about databases other than how to create some tables/collections, do some basic indexing, and read the slow query log. Even runni

Could you recommend some modern books on C programming?

So, I have this bash script that runs AppleScript that I use to start up a bunch of servers at once, each in their own Terminal tab. At the heart of it is this 'new-tab' function[1]. I don't really like AppleScript, and would

They mention this in the article: > This same STAGE.DAT got Prodigy in trouble in the early 1990s when users discovered that it could contain fragments of data culled from their PCs. As it turns out, Prodigy's client was filling in

I am curious, what is the point of using something like this?

Modules are a good thing. I quite like npm as far as package managers go (the default installation directory being ./node_modules is a big improvement over the global rubygem directory, IMO). All the same, I don't mean to be overl

Very happy to see Copy as cURL. Just wrote a crappy script to make copy-pasted cookies from the request window into curl parameters two days ago. I am sure I will use this quite frequently.

Is there any sort of interactive static site generator, for people who are not very computer literate to use? (I write code, so it's not for me, but I am wondering if I could say, setup a template for a friend, and have them fill in th

I am watching the keynote, it looks interesting. I don't know Go at all, though I know several languages including C. I don't quite know what he is talking about when he talks about main and initialization. Can anyone elaborate on

Well said. Something like this happened to me once. I am a pretty good dev and I write solid code. But I'd been doing a lot of drugs and my mental health was way off base and I started talking to my boss about how I was the best progra

I remember talking to a friend who owns a Mercedes recently and he was telling me how he had to take his car into the shop and they gave him a fancy loaner (an ML 63, IIRC). He talked about all the cool gadgetry in there like blind-spot mon

I have sympathy for the guy. - He has faced some hardships. - Obviously the Freelancer.com customer support team is giving him the runaround. - It's hard to see anybody in trouble and not feel bad for them. I do wonder though, why does

Personally, I like the MacBook Air. I don't see why you couldn't get one of those and run Ubuntu on it.

Wow, $100m a year is a lot of money. Could hire a team of 10 top notch devs for $200K + $100K in benefits for $3m/year. Supposing you had a sales staff that cost the same, that's $6m. Make it an even ten with hardware designers an
