I don't think Sir Attenborough is saying anything that disagrees with the Gates letter. He singled out one form of aid - direct food - as harmful. Not all aid is helpful. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_dis

I just added the "EDIT" section before I saw your question. That was what made me start questioning my beliefs. Here's a few things the letter said that eroded away the assumptions I had built regarding: POVERTY: > There a

Is there a real demand for this? I made https://zetabee.com/text in 2010 and have been using it myself every single day since there. My app is plain-text and has lots of keyboard shortcuts. I could most likely convert it to

If you want something with more features but still just as simple, check out: http://flightphp.com/ I'm using it to make a JSON backend API and it works great.

As I understood from the original blog post, it identifies bad syntax more easily, enabling you to correct them. In programming terms, it would be a macro that finds code smells and lets you refactor easily. The example he gave was identify

I'm going to guess they think if girls are watching it, boys aren't. Gaining 20% girls/parents might end up costing them 10% boys, which they presume might end up being a net loss for them. He mentioned Cartoon Network specif

I like that you can overwrite the var(headersize) in a different style. That makes these pretty powerful. However, var(headersize) is a lot to type, compared to @headersize (like LESS) or $headersize (like SASS). CSS allows for a lot of sho

It says 500 of them. I've never heard a unit of measure like "mg" being referred to it as "them". So it makes sense to interpret that as "pills".

I wasn't joking. This is how software patent creation works. Before something can be made in practice, make all the algorithms you might need to implement it.

That's my point exactly. The free time is scary. I had a typical 9-5 gig until 2010. Even then I was constantly making things on the side. Since 2010, I switched to 20hrs/week consulting and initially, life was awesome. But then I

I think I have the same problem with Chrome. When I open some links, Chrome loads the whole page but only shows a white background. As soon as I start to scroll, the content appears. It's pretty annoying.
