Alright, it seems like we're getting to that point. Does anybody know if Fastmail.fm can be configured with ActiveSync or IMAP/IDLE? Is there a pay email provider out there that supports these, and is relatively trustworthy? My work relies

Well if you're polling the account by IMAP you might as well just...poll it by IMAP from the phone.

Additionally, a commercial delivery has a lot lower chance of a delivery exception.

They used to offer it. I'm still grandfathered on a 30GB plan, which is wonderful. I occasionally get poke emails from Google asking me to upgrade to one of the new plans.

My arts degree has been very practically applicable for doing work in the real world! I'm an employed artist!

I've heard it a few times. I like the sound a lot, but I know a few artists who still won't use it.

This is fantastic. I haven't picked anything up from Everlane in probably two months. Almost forgot about them. Now I'll be looking forward to when their site comes back online for me to make a choice or two tomorrow!

We still haven't really solved the problem of getting a digital piano to sound anything like a Steinway Concert Grand. Even if we could replace artistic expression with algorithm in this instance, the instrument sound itself has miles to go

Agreed. It's pretty much my go to web resource for entertaining. A fairly good curated selection of recipes, good explanations of flavor combinations, good crafts, theme ideas, and everything else. Lots of the sites with reader contribution

Initial dictionary not trained with profanity. I hate how much time I have to spend stopping things from being autocorrected to "duck." Fleksy didn't improve on the situation.

Yes, but many open wifi hotspots at commercial institutions only have 80 and 443 open.

Similarly, my best friend is absolutely "a little shit" and I love him for that fact.

Ticketing is hard. It's like a lot of business solutions where a custom logic language is essentially baked in to describe price points, discounts, and more. For example, Tixato (my current favorite free ticketing platform) tries to use "pr

The fees are only levied online, not at the hard box office. So the promoter can advertise the ticket price, and the ticketing agent adds fees.

I think the place for a great disruptive startup would be at the promoter level. It's not something that you can just throw a lot of tech at, but at this point LN seems a lot more disruptable than TM.

The problem has so many facets it's hard to count. Where to start? a) charging by subscription instead of by transaction. This is nice. This is a great idea for patron happiness. Unfortunately the patron isn't the customer at a ticketing ag

In Ruby "for...in" is just syntactic sugar for #each. Try defining your own #each on a random object!

I'd say that most Rubyists use #select, whereas #find is a more literate alias that few use outside of AR.

This has always been a feature. It's useful when you want to find a friend with a common name that you know personally. This seems like it'd only be problematic if you linked your account to a professional email address...

A well run not-for-profit damn well better be making a profit, it's just not turned back to the owner. They just take their allotted salary. Which is a pretty fine idea too.

Wouldn't you always have to be connected, that way?

A 501c3 twitter is almost a brilliant solution. What grantmaker wouldn't want to support an organization dedicated to people's speech and open journalism? Valuing extensibility, openness, and free access, the mission is strong and the marke

Mylan Engel wrote a fantastic paper (albeit about childhood starvation) about how we are in fact morally obligated to donate to relief funds based on (in his words) beliefs we already hold. I highly recommend it. "Hunger, Duty and Ecology:

> 3rd party clients that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience. Not clients that cater to anything other than the basic user. Managing multiple accounts already seems to deviate from that qualifier.

Even further, John Cage and his ideology of chance. Non-determinism only worked under heavy constraint, and it worked amazingly.
