   I've been using a 39" Seiki 4K monitor for my application development 'needs' for about 2 weeks and I have to say 4K is a substantial step forward from 3 or 4 1080p screens. HDMI 2.0 is great because - especially for des

   I like this, I'd probably use it to track the number of TODO's that are added to the code over time.

   Interesting article but the fact that the transactions are logged and can be tracked flies in the face of everything I understood about the anonymity of bitcoin.

   Too bad, I really liked getting cheap servers from them and their customer service was actual real people not script readers. You'll be missed.

   The citation should include a caveat that the benchmarks are from 1998 and that they were ran on a Pentium 100Mhz.

   Its interesting when a Saas company aquire-hire's an agency, I wonder what will happen to all of the other e-commerce clients that Jet Cooper was working with that don't use Shopify. I also wonder if I was the only one that misrea

   I think some better marketing will be needed as well. It might seem strange and off-putting to eat bugs but eating lobster, shrimp and crawdads has similar challenges and these have become commonplace - even delicacies - for most. How long

    I run into this same issue when creating previews from print comps. You should be able to specify a colorspace to resolve that: http://blog.rodneyrehm.de/archives/4-CMYK-Images-And-Browser...

    One additional advantage that hasn't been mentioned is that ETF's offer an options market allowing owners of Bitcoins to buy puts to protect the value of their bitcoins (or) buy calls to take advantage of future movements in the p

    Very nice, any chance we'll get an iPhone version?

    Here are some suggestions: If you are on *nix you can list all the files that a process is using: $ lsof -p <PID>,<PID>,<PID> Then do a diff of the listed files against older versions of the files (e.g from a backup)

    This can be an interesting way to identify hidden yearly trends too. Drawing a zig zag with peaks (more sawtooth than sine wave) at beginnings of the years yields some interesting results and some things I've never even heard of like "slapp

    Very nice, I was planning to implement a similar thing with for 'anonymous' ip-based human readable usernames to identify users without forcing them to create profiles. An excellent bonus - my robohash looks exactly like Bender from Futuram

    I don't see anything wrong...with a little steak sauce and a nice fresh salad, I'm sure they taste the same as a good Morton's steak.

    My initial reaction to this was shock and disgust and I quickly uninstalled the extension. However after seeing Joel's actions to address the issue promptly I'm glad to re-install the newest version. I think, like many users, I really don't

    I'm Kenyan too (in the diaspora, though) and I've been amazed by how quickly and thoroughly some mobile technology has spread back home. Services like mPesa that enable mobile payments are actually much better implemented and more widesprea

    Very slick, I was hooked and watched the whole first chapter and I didn't experience any issues to speak of. As successful as the Django course might be (and it looks like it will be), I think you should also consider working on an audio-co

    That's why I like raw PHP, Python or Perl. In the era of Hammers, Hammer factories and Hammer factory factories, its always convenient to have a nice useful rock.

    Anyone know an MMS provider in the US with a similar API (nice, clean and cheap) that works in 2 directions - i.e Mobile Originated (MO) & Mobile Terminated (MT)? (I might as well ask this here :^)

    Thanks GP, I think this is my biggest peeve as well. MRU CTRL-Tab is a well established Windows UI paradigm, don't ask power users to change without offering a way to disable this. Also, while I really like searching from my location bar, I

    Not to be flippant but I think the TwEO has more pressing matters. He needs to prove himself, maybe make some profit for his investors, before he can be considered a worthwhile adviser.

    I think this effect is exercerbated by the fact that it is difficult for users to discern tone in online modes of communication, unlike phone or face to face discussion (geeks in general have a hard time with either) I've been trying to ens
