   A few things: - The interface is overwhelming. While I understand that you aim to surface power, I think you're not targeting a specific power well enough to cater to a user's needs. For example, if you aim to help a user find dea

   A few ponderings: - Using saffron as a means to transform poppy fields is a 12-year-old+ idea[0] that doesn't seem to have made a dent in opimium production, which has skyrocketed since 2004.[1] What makes this iteration different? - I

   While this is gorgeous, I can't help but feel it's a bit disingenuous to call anything "Pythonic" and "functional" at the same time given Guido's take on the whole thing[0][1]... especially when you'

   Think again. This bad boy is only ~600 lines if you discount the only embedded dependency, CryptoJS.

   For those who are interested in the guts of this, you can find the beautified code on Github[0] and a detailed breakdown here[1]. In short, Windows completely exposes its filesystem through ActiveX and WScript, skipping the need to package

    The myth that's being debunked here is that "WebView's suck" not that a WebView experience matches a native one. Clearly, Dan--who is an Android developer--understands that trade off given this pull quote from the articl

    Part of the reason for the rant against the walled garden is that it threatens a developers ability to innovate without being threatened/limited/taxed/replaced by the gatekeeper. Whether that's better for consumers is de

    I highly recommend William O'Neil's "How to Make Money in Stocks" [0]. There's a lot of chart study involved and high-level advice that's necessary for gaining a higher understanding of what drives the market.

    For "softer" subjects, I couldn't agree more, but good luck playing with rockets, brains, buildings, and quanta without school. For the "hard" subjects, a student gains a certain expertise and rigor in an academic e

    The real advantage comes from the fact that JRuby isn't enslaved to a GIL like MRI, so you get JVM threads out of the box. Even with the JIT, JRuby (at least 1.7) isn't appreciably faster than MRI when running a single-threaded ap

    That was my though exactly when I started, but I've realized that Google gains a greater power than showing tailored ads. Google remembers who I was better than I do, knows everything that I do today, and can probably guess who I will

    I'm not fond of this at all. Any small-scale apps (running 2-3 dynos) can see up to a 44% increase in price, and that's going to be very difficult to justify compared to the other PaaS offerings: $100 a month on Heroku vs the prev
