Funny, I had already planned on this as a 2013 goal of mine - this blog post only reinforced it! Coursera has a Scala course from Odersky that's worth giving a shot: https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun

Thank you! Yes, just a small pet project. I can't watch my favorite team (Cavs) most nights because I am not in the area. So when I wake up in the morning I want to see who won the night before. Usually I'll go to ESPN to get their wrap-

Yeah, when he gets into Android forecasts for 2014 with one in every four people or whatever - a bit much. But like you I think its pretty amazing that I can put the same OS on my Raspberry Pi, any crappy tablet, my phone and whatever else

Although I'm not sure if it counts as a static site generator, about 3 months ago there was a Show HN for a blog generator that was entirely client-side that had a pane on the left where Instagram, Github, etc. content was displayed and the

Just a white screen for me too. When I hover over I see the tweet text, but the images never load on the screen. Chrome 22.0.1229.94. Cool idea though!

Here's one that impressed me: I put on my calendar an appointment for a movie I was going to see w/ the name of the movie. Google Now on that day pulled up a card of the the showtimes and theater info for the theater of the movie that I wa

I didn't grow up during the Punk movement but the commercial "revival" of sorts kicked off by Green Day in the mid-90s. Green Day was on a indie label, Lookout! Records, before hitting it big with "Dookie." When you bought their first two

Fair point and I'm definitely a proponent of RSS. It's how I read Hacker News. However looking at this feed, it's easy to become overwhelmed. It looks like Dave was clever enough to limit the posts to (by my count) 3-10 every 15 minutes,

My wife (not tech savvy) is in the market for a cheap tablet. I compared the Fire vs. the Nexus 7 with her tonight. She's only remotely thinking about the Fire because we have Amazon Instant w/ Prime. I'm trying to persuade her to go w/

What an awful, buzzwordy article. "Google tried this scorched-earth policy with Android, but in doing so lost control of the ecosystem—as the Amazon fork demonstrated so forcefully." - What does this even mean? Yes, open source means that

If there's a new field that I want to learn about, I usually find the best blog that I can for it and subscribe to the RSS feed. Instant immersion. How can Twitter/Facebook/whatever beat this where I have to comb through a bunch of noise t

I really enjoyed this. It's short and doesn't meander with stupid jokes or idle chatter. Good work, especially by the moderator. Can't wait for the next one.

RSS is alive and well in iTunes podcasts. It's just that people don't know or care that their podcast feeds get updated by way of RSS. RSS will live on if content creators continue to provide it. I think the issue is that no one except te
