Does anyone understand just how bad this statistic, if true, is? It almost seems like there is room for somebody to disrupt Amazon by building a better e-commerce mousetrap and getting multiple retailers and distributors to co'operate

I live in Connecticut 2.5 hours from Boston and NYC. I've worked remote for the last 5 years. I'm toying with the idea of starting a web series on tips and tricks of going remote while living in a non urban area, spreading the wea

I like the ideas behind "Brutalist Web Design" [0] and "minimalist web design", and flat design aesthetics where content is treated as most important over presentation. Personally I'm more in favor of what I term &q

My colleague @ejholmes wrote a cool tool that borrows heavily from `make` called `walk` ( https://github.com/ejholmes/walk ). It's written in Go and using a graph for dependencies so that tasks at the same horizonta

I actually switched to Fedora when Ubuntu Unity came out (after being a long time Ubuntu user of many years). Gnome was a major reason for my switch. I didn't have time for unity (just like I gave up on KDE for the same reason). Gnome

Woah this is really, really cool! I've been meaning to mess with chromecast and this does all the heavy lifting for me! I think I'm going to wrap the script to get a REPL so that I don't loose access to the object, similar to

Cool, I built this last year during a hackathon. It wasn't a chat but a forum. I've built chats before but it didn't seem as useful. My idea was to provide a way to augment reality, add context to your location, see what othe

I wonder if the formation of an i-motif could change the behavior of the "normal" DNA code. Like a flag on a function to slightly change how it works. Could make certain parts of reading normal double helix DNA a no-op, for exampl

I have to be honest, coming from Python 2.3 (2004ish), I don't recognize "new" Python anymore. I think it's mostly regarding type definitions.

I run a local caching server on my network 192.168.1.22, from there I now forward to cloudflare, then to opendns on misses. This makes DNS resolution blazing fast for things we frequent. I use my ASUS router's DHCP to teach all my dyna

Oh a whim I decided to grab an account. Very cool! I'll likely use this. Because I have never really used an RSS reader before I'll likely not have any biases as a user which I think is good. I think one recommendation is that whi

Some cool insights in there that I have not had the ability to articulate myself but I have been feeling for maybe 5 or so years. The biggest hurtle is that a "frequent dev" isn't always the best at remembering the sum of eve

SmartOS isn't really for workstations, unless your workstation doesn't need a GUI (mine does). That said, I'm about to create a blog post and youtube video on how to run SmartOS at home for real cheap (as in cheap hardware an

I think using it as a safe battery is a neat idea. I understand there are significant losses as compared to li-ion batteries, but the fact that the system has a longer lifespan is really interesting. It's a way to preserve energy duri
