What about obscuring rather than hiding? For instance, a script that emails hundreds of random addresses, tweets on hundreds of different accounts, visits thousands of different urls, texts and voice calls hundreds of numbers (for those wi

All great points. For my last move from NYC to Seattle, I ended up selling just about all of my books (amazon is amazing for reselling books). Made enough to pay for my flight to Seattle. Selling all my furniture (mostly craigslist) paid

I'm not a fan of these tactics at all as a developer or a consumer. The simplest way I've found to avoid these games is to cross reference the "Top Free" and "Highest Grossing" lists on the play store.

The difference seems to be that instead of checking for whether a single object is returned, to actually check for the size of the collection returned, which (depending on your language, of course) the method used to iterate over that colle

In all, I agree with billing at a daily rate. Personally I bill in half day increments for minor maintenance with smaller loyal clients and daily or even weekly for significant slices of work. A worthwhile client won't pay much attention

Not by a long shot. I've been a smoker for more than half my life, and while I still am, since I've moved to another city that frowns upon smoking in your own apartment, I've become far more cognisant of the smell - not that I was complete

I use google now's voice search almost daily, and some other voice-command like "what song is this?", "set a timer...". Personally, I wish my desktop had google now and voice search. I've especially found voice search to be the more social

I proud to say that a) I have some regrets from my twenties and b) none of them have a damned thing to do with Albert Einstein or Bill Gates.

I'm guessing that you'll get one soon. That's not necessarily blind faith, as my communication with them so far has been impressive. I had the same reply at sign-up, but just happened to have an iphone I use for testing, so I signed up and

Definitely interesting, and I'll probably try it at some point should I find both the time and the inclination to do so. Admittedly, I paid for that application because I didn't want to implement it myself. But I'm glad there are some bui

For collecting application usage data, I used to use an application called Timesnapper ( http://www.timesnapper.com/ ), which takes a screenshot every x seconds and keeps track of the application title / etc, with the added benefit of all

His conclusion is the reason I generally work evenings and weekends. When I need to work during the day, I can shut off the email, the IM, the social apps, the HN, the Reddit, but they're still buzzing away. When I take a break and open a

As a single data point, I chose git due to github around late 2010 and consequently moved a couple of my clients (and current employer) over to git/hub. I personally still prefer bzr's cli.

I think it makes sense in a "plain conversation" sort of way: when asking a computer for something is as plain as asking a friend to pass the remote. To push a button, then speak in to the device, then watch it recognize it, then wait for a

Unless the author is Hunter S. Thompson or someone of that ilk, I'm not sure I'd really want to read a book written in 3 days.

Early on in my career, I was slowly switching from graphic / web design to web programming. I used to spend quite a bit of time in a couple well known graphic design forums. I had a fairly intense day job, so it's not like I was there 10

No matter how hard I try, all my eggs only seem to fit into one basket at a time. I don't recommend it, but it has worked well for me thus far.

I know developers (including myself on a rare occasion - i tend towards custom development) who are doing far better than $70/hour for Drupal development in NYC. Although I don't know many successful developers who explicitly sell themselve

Got mine a week ago. Absolutely love it. I haven't played with other tablets very much, so I can't offer a serious comparison. I thing the size is perfect for reading, browsing and watching videos just about anywhere. It's also perfect

The word "news" shows up in that article 51 times (with 5 non-article occurrences on the page). Not sure if this bothered anyone else but it drove me nuts and I couldn't finish the article.

I get what you're saying, but I don't see why adding an affiliate link to an honest endorsement makes it any less honest. While I don't agree with everything Jeff has to say, I wouldn't call him a shill. His reviews have always seemed perf

Actionscript 3 was very good for this. I haven't done Flash development in a couple years, but i've been writing reams of Javascript (mostly backend). While I absolutely enjoy writing JS, I do miss the ability to declare types for methods

In my own experience, such simplications begin to fall apart as soon as you find the slightest bit of complexity in what you're building upon them. As soon as something doesn't fit the mold, you adjust the mold - or worse, you adjust the s

A few years back, I started getting interested in a similar idea. I'm definitely intrigued in seeing how well it goes. Good luck to you. Of course, as ideas go, I allowed myself to think further into the possibilities, and found some inte

I signed up about a year ago, and finally got an invite a couple weeks ago. The signup process is certainly impressive, as far as UX is concerned. It requires iPhone at the moment (just to sign up), which was a bummer as I personally prefer
