Heroku has cheap, easy, and performant hosting that is ideal for prototyping and scaling out an early stage company. It gets more expensive as you get "big" and it seems most of the posts as of late related to databases, scaling,

Has anyone used fortune? I saw this a long time ago when i dug through the Ember.js docs it mentioned this, but I never dug too deep into it.

I think they even said in the keynote that they would be accepting community changes ("pull requests" in GitHub terms), so I'm not sure why the article doesn't have any reference to what was stated by Apple officially. S

I recently purchased one for the same thing: web dev, travel, and iOS development too. I had a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina that was stolen and decided to "downgrade" for the replacement. I'm honestly really happily surprised with

While this is fantastic as a demo, I hope this does not become a huge trend. Canvas is almost as bad as flash if you use it this way

This is insane for a high school web project. Kudos and props to the author. Be sure to put this on your resume!

Really, really wish they would add IMAP support for the rest of us that would prefer not to use Google for email. FastMail + Mailbox would be killer. ( I use Mailbox with my work email and love it )

For the most part I haven't had many issues, I hope they haven't given up.

Does anyone know if this does (or has plans to) integrate with GitHub / GitHub issues? I have a pretty similar setup with Trello right now that feeds off of various repos, but this would be a simpler setup if it integrated nicely.

I went to check out one of the companies mentioned http://www.leadschat.com/ - the website scrolling was so unusable that I struggled to learn about the product or look at screenshots... I hate to be that guy, but can we ju

according to @tptacek, you might be fine: > There already is a Screenhero integration for Slack. If you pay for Slack, you can set it up in like 3 minutes, from slack.com/screenhero.

Facebook is not popular for groups because it does it so well, it's used for grouping because you can safely assume that 98% of your classmates have a Facebook account, know hoe to use it and even check it occasionally.

I really like this idea - it makes scheduling things a whole lot easier. I also like the concepts of the one week month and "year day" - for some reason I feel like I'd get more pumped about year day than I'll ever get a

Am I the only one that gets overwhelmed when I use my monitor in portrait? Isolating the web ( or code ) into more bite-sized chunks gives my brain one thing to focus on at a time.

I really wish that Mailbox would accept any IMAP provider - I use Mail.app solely for my FastMail at the moment.

100% - but the fact of the matter is that almost ALL the Echo does is analyze audio over remote servers. If Apple is doing it, it is covert and would upset a LOT of people if they found out.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that the larger firms are crawling their own ad platforms. When ads comprise 90% of your revenue, it's hard to imagine that someone hasn't gamed the system.

But the primary function of the Xbox is not to record data and send it back to its servers - the main selling point of the Echo is basically smart voice data analysis. Offline, an Xbox is still useful - the Echo becomes useless.

The main selling point of a macbook is not that it can identify exactly what you say, when you said it, and send that data back to a central server that is "always getting smarter". There is also a VERY big difference for me betwe

This sounds like the creepiest tech product you could put in your home: an internet-connected microphone that can "hear you from across the room". Love the slick design, but I'll pass.

Steam is a pretty nice place to buy games, I didn't know they sold anything else though. Thanks for the tip!

The average user has an iTunes account and doesn't switch countries on a regular basis. For the average user, the mac app store is dead simple and easy to use.

I don't see the humor. When I bought a new mac recently, i logged into the mac app store with my apple ID and instantly had all of my apps on my new computer within 5 minutes. Over 20 apps licensed and installed in 20 minutes! In con
