I wonder the same thing. Massive threads are somewhat of a proving ground for every forum implementation and feature. Like when you first realize that `OFFSET` SQL for pagination just isn't gonna cut it. For example, I recently read a

Xenforo is just about best of breed in the domain of modern, traditional forum software. Even phpBB is still around. I don't blame people for trying to come up with new forum paradigms instead of reimplementing the same solution over a

Main problem I see with Modafinil is that it's instant release. Whenever I hear that someone takes Adderall IR, I ask them if they've tried XR or Vyvanse since the latter are superior in most ways. Mainly, IRs produce tolerance to

I prefer it that way. Last thing a front-end framework needs is a bunch of legacy cruft, and they're going to continue supporting v3. The migration doesn't seem like a tall order: http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/m

I've been running a forum since 2007 and Adsense was the boon that paid for my university and made me money. I don't think I'll ever ask for donations again. Plopping a donation button on a website seems to do nothing but mak

The hamburger menu's entire value is that it's a simple default that you can generalize even programmatically across all websites. It's why the frameworks mentioned in the article can implement it for you. It's a place t

One reason why I like to publish even frivolous things to Github is because it forces a bit of rigor upon whatever I'm publishing. I'm more likely to clean it up and keep it tidy, and I can use the same workflow for it that I use

Lynda.com would be screwed if people knew they could just crack open some reference material instead of wasting away in front of friendly introductory videos where another human eases them into a new subject!

If your trade is building things and you have nothing to show for it, then it's probably a good idea to have at least one thing you can point to. But trying pin and dismiss the intention behind someone's open source project would

I run some forums that offer value to mostly teens. How do you propose I make money from them? The more money I make from a forum, the more time I can invest in the forum which enhances its value to its community. Adsense pays good money. D
