How does Simple compare to something like Ally ( http://www.ally.com )? Thinking about switching banks recently - are online only banks pretty nice, or do they have drawbacks?

Interesting question actually - assume I have some code for some specific problem I need to write. Is actually thinking the problem through and writing the code on my own more beneficial, or is it more beneficial to just find code on stacko

Potentially, depends how it would look visually I guess. You could just display a little message saying the platform isn't supported yet and linking to the FAQ perhaps.

I think it's a pretty neat idea! Might have to get a few friends tomorrow and try it out. One minor suggestion - when I went to the homepage using Firefox, I was a little confused how to get to the actual functionality. From a cognitiv

What a loss for Microsoft - 'SkyDrive' definitely has more of an appeal than 'OneDrive', and it'll surely be confusing to some people to see the name changed. And it seems like a case they should have been able to w

Oh man, Codex of Alchemical Engineering is a game that brings back very fond memories. In fact, he also made KOHCTPYKTOP: Engineer of the People http://www.zachtronics.com/play-kohctpyktop/ another game that I used to

These aren't really used at all in real-world English though (at least American English). So the result would be a very awkward phrase and probably a phrase that is understood by fewer people than before. The technically grammatically-

I can think of very few positive effects of this - what's the purpose? Anyone care to elaborate on how this is beneficial?

I think you're 100% right. It's impossible (for me anyways) to be productive 7 days a week for a lot of weeks in a row. I started recently taking Sundays off from working altogether and spent the day only doing stuff like going to

I don't think so. I distinctly remember discussing it multiple times throughout grade school and watching it at least once.

Probably will be possible to use Western Union to send the money over. Online money exchange is super hard in some countries though (I've experienced it first hand in Haiti.) It's a shame because it really holds the people there b

A police officer is essentially a community worker and I believe should have that mentality of serving the community. I don't really believe what the officer did was malicious or even all that inappropriate. I think the police officer

Wonder if this article itself falls into that 75%, 20%, or 5%. As the author says himself: "The likelihood that what you’re reading is completely accurate is very, very, very small. There may be some truth there. There may be none. Jus

Thanks for the counterpoint. I'm completely of the mindset that police should take the mindset of community-servants first (perhaps the fighting mentality is appropriate in certain situations at specific times.) But so many of these ki

I also thought it was satire. Actually, I still think it is for the most part, just with a drop of reality mixed in (like any good satire!)

Yup, and sorry to be that guy who says something simple isn't complex enough even when it was never intended to be complex ha ha. Here's an actual question though: do you think sleep debt actually adds up like that or no?

by freditup 13y ago
The amount of sleep people need varies from person to person as far as I know. I prefer to sleep 7 hours in the night and take a nap in the afternoon, and that leaves me feeling pretty good most of the day. Some people I know can sleep less

I'm also curious for what Yahoo was going for here. Playerscale (which only product really so far is Player.io) is actually something I've worked with in the past. And it's a fairly strong idea - an easy to use but versatile server platform

I think it's definitely possible. I think more important than where you are from is your grasp of the (spoken) language your project is in and you are communicating with. So if you're communicating with clients in English, writing your cod

I started using freelancer.com. It's honestly a pretty bad site, unprofessional in a lot of ways, high fees, etc. I got low paying jobs that took a decent amount of work, although the quality of work expected wasn't too high. However, it al

Ha ha, I decided to try the 7-min workout last night for the heck of it and I basically wanted something exactly like this. Nice job, it does its purpose perfectly. One small suggestion: Perhaps a louder audio cue for transitions between ex

And 8hrs is probably too much time to really productively be working on a job at that.

I think these comments are relevant - can be kind of frustrating to try something and wonder if you're just doing something wrong vs. if it is broken. Unrelatedly, thought it was a pretty well-done and clever game, I'm impressed.

Another powerful quote (this one from the article), especially taken in the secular atmosphere of Europe: '“People think of scientists as monks in a monastery looking out for the truth,” [Staple] said. “People have lost faith in the church,

And sure, let's say in 90% of cases using the same 6 char password for everything is okay. But let's take a not unlikely scenario - one website that you frequent is compromised and an attacker gets an unsalted hash of your password. Because

Wow. That LGBT bullet point and statement left me mouth agape. No matter what opinions and thoughts you have on gay marriage and LGBTQ issues, it's blatantly obvious that there is a current cultural shift in the US. In a max of 10 years, an

My initial reaction to your comment was to say that it was an article form the NYT and should be reliable. But to be completely honest, it seemed like kind of shady journalism to me too, based more on rumor then anything substantial. It doe

Except that according to the article, Cyberbunker admits to being the perpetrator of the attacks. They also brag about fending off SWAT teams in the past (which does seems unlikely).
