Consumerism. It convinces people that once they make $100k/year, they require a vehicle that befits someone who makes that much money. It convinces people that they require a place to live that compares to their other 6-figure earning

Wildly, I was looking for something like this a few weeks ago when I got the itch to create a text-based game. I came across ncurses, but this looks to fit the bill a lot better than that. I doubt I'll get around to pursuing the game i

Great, thank you for the write-up. I'll definitely have to take a look.

Is the main benefit to Yeah vs. other frameworks (Gosu in particular) that it compiles to JS? I'm actually weighing game framework options for a project I want to undertake.

It looks pretty pixelated on a Retina display. Consider using vector icons. Additionally, how to change the style of text was not immediately obvious to me. I tried doing Markdown at first (this would be a killer feature).

Any plans to allow the data to push back? Specifically, would it be possible to add webhooks after data was pushed to a stream? This could be amazing for a decentralized notification service.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of reactionary responses on this thread. Everyone is so quick to take up arms against this man because he's systematically eliminating distractions from his day to day. Some people are making w

This hit home, I'm going through this right now. Work issues coupled with recently getting married, changing cities, and miscellaneous family problems makes every conflict or obstacle seem much larger than it is. To stay zen, I frequen

Jake Lodwick (Vimeo co-founder) was doing this with Elepath. I interviewed with them about 2 years ago and he was building the team before he had a product goal. Honestly, with the amount of start-ups pivoting into new spaces when their ori

I'm working on this (a subset of these features at least) right now. It was going to be an internal tool for my company, but having seen this interest makes me think I might try and go the SaaS route...

Austen! So glad you launched successfully. The new site looks great.

This is one of the better articles I've read regarding procrastination. It echoes a point that really hit home for me when reading recently[1] -- you don't have to FEEL like doing something to actually do it. This is something I w

You can in fact rent cars before the age of 25, but they charge a hefty premium. Source: I rented a car 2 weeks shy of 25 years old. There was an additional $80 fee per day.

I'm doing this in Austin currently. Inspired by Tynan, I got a Rialta as well and have been using it as an exercise in minimalism. So far, it's worked out very well, even in the extreme heat.

Just some somewhat-constructive feedback: It's always a pet peeve of mine to see the default bootstrap theme on new web apps. It doesn't take a lot of effort to customize it and doing so goes a long way to provide a sense of autho

It really annoys me the way a lot of people picture evolution. The genetic mutations happen before the need is realized. If mutation helps a species survive in it's environment, the gene is carried on through natural selection. An endl

This is the part he lost me at as well. You can tell very little research went into the article when you quantify the broad-scope merits of any language. You can't say Python is 50 good, while Ruby is 100 good.

Has this been attempted in a zero-gravity environment (or even water)? Would that completely obliterate the results of the test, as the sand wouldn't be on a solid surface? I'm curious what the results would be.

Playing devil's advocate, hating Paris Hilton could have something to do with a longing or desire to be accepted, loved, or renown. She has those things with traits that you find far from ideal. This could breed resentment. It's especially

Food sustainability is my passion area. Although the technologist in me thinks this is an awesome endeavor, the sustainability advocate in me thinks this is a step in the wrong direction. Agriculture is an area that I think needs to stay re

You've certainly given me some food for thought. I had not considered that it could potentially be a full time job informing those around you that they are being crude and/or disrespectful. It also seems that we are agreement on everything

It upsets me that we are only able to share sanitized parts of ourselves depending on the situation. I realize that it is a necessity to tone down our ancillary personality traits when among strangers and acquaintances, but setting arbitrar

Sorry, they're middle-school aged. I should have specified. I think your advice is still applicable though.

I definitely want to focus on the accessibility. I came from similar roots and would likely not be in the career I am today if not for the low barrier of entry.
