I don't really like this. I work in the advertising industry and retargeting is honestly one of the most exciting things to come out. Sure there are ways of cookieless retargeting, but it is a hassle. I mean, everyone's heard of Samy's Ever

I was going to suggest /r/nottheonion but it seems OP is already using it. Not bad though, I kinda like it. EDIT: oops, you're OP. Ever thought of suggesting this CSS to reddit?

So, a technical copywriter. Those are kinda hard to find.

Dutch auction over a long period. You know this is equivalent to a sealed first bid right? Interesting nonetheless.

I have a severe problem regarding this: my writing and indeed my explanation are often very verbose, and more often than not, filled with jargon. I had been for a very long time, a believer that jargon simplifies communication because a lot

You can do the same with python's msgpack as the C# version Try this: packer = msgpack.Packer() serialized = packer.pack('stuff you wanna pack') unpacker = msgpack.Unpacker() unpacker.feed(serialized) print unpa

Hi, I've tried starting multiple projects that faced this chicken and egg thing. While I wouldn't call ourselves really successful, our latest venture, Fork the Cookbook succeeded by having what we call "single player mode". We had initiall

While this is a very nice idea, what does this have over HootSuite? Also, if you really want to win in this webapp, IMO, you should have G+ integrations. There are not many products out there that do this that has G+ integrations (only Hoot

It only makes sense if you talk about utility webapps (like twitter). Not everything is a webapp though. Wikipedia for example, is just a display of documents. Should it become a fancy webapp? I don't see much benefit in it. The old page co

I faced this before. I have a solution: Open up PHPMyAdmin, show them how it looks like in a proper database. Then show them how to lock panes in Excel. Problem pretty much solved.

JS is actually very easy to pick up in small bits. But somehow picking up the knowledge in small bits tend to lead to quite crappy programs. At least in my experience

I like how Michael Bay was an option. Also very surprised it works so well on my Nexus 4. Touch screen rotation is a bit weird tho, but wow.. no lag.

Javascript must be one of those few languages where you cannot learn from bits and pieces. I learned python, C, shell etc from bits and pieces, but I actually learned javascript the way OP describes. This is actually quite puzzling and I've

Nah they're not product launches. They're client-side reporting that is presented.

If you're using powerpoint as your diagraming tool, you might be doing something wrong. Try Dia, it's open source and free.

Mine may not apply to yours. In presentation to clients, I write reports/presentations per scenario/campaign. I use your bog standard Initializr+Bootstrap, the visualizations have been previsualized on ggplot, and then translated into d3 wh

Funny you say that. I've moved my presentation workflow entirely to HTML5+JS. d3 is amazeballs and should be used at every available instance (and so is raphael)

Oh I do use R + Numpy a lot too, but Excel has really been indispensible. I agree with you about spreadsheets being used where databases make more sense though.

Ohboy, let's go: * Calc's pivot tables is clunky, while working on Excel 2010 is like working on butter with a hot knife. No, it's not a "getting used to" thing. * Basic stuff like filter/sorting tools: Excel has a far better flow that help

I was wondering if this is common with pre-launch product kits, but I have to sign in everytime to use the SDK. What am I doing wrong? That said, I had a fun time writing stuff. Now, if only it had proper linux support (instead of Virtualbo

This is a terrible example of an infographic. The VERY LEAST the person who created it is to do side by side comparisons. Comparisons should be done on a similarity basis. You don't compare apples to oranges, and you don't compare Shopkick

EDP and OOP are not mutually exclusive. Javascript is popular simply because it's really really really underpowered. see: atwood's law
