Cramping's one of my symptoms; I'm being a bit coy. To be more blunt (the disease is Ulcerative Colitis), the main thing is bowel movements per day. At the moment, I've got an NFC tag sitting in the bathroom that I swipe to log a motion (

As someone both with a chronic disease, and who works in Health IT -- personal health tracking is something I'd very much like to see (and am working on in my spare time). Part of the problem with chronic illness is that our (well, my!) dum

Given how massively prolific the humble bundles and indie games in general are, I disagree. There's a very long tail on PC :).

I've played around in both and enjoy them. Tellingly, I've noticed a lot of the original community (at least, in my area) has come back and is sticking with NS2 strongly; the couple of hardcore-ish NS friends I have really like NS2 too. I

He's not attacking anything; the two of you are in (violent) agreement :). He's saying that C# provides all those little bits its "inherited", so it's an acceptably-good language for pretty much anyone, no matter your background.

It really depends on the degree to which you do it. I'd argue that just having one or two very basic acceptance tests is probably all you want when you're testing the waters with an MVP. The most all-encompassing test you can make; and ma

dons' explanation will be better/more rigorous than mine, but in a more familiar syntax (Python), let's say you've got some functions: def get_user(id): # returns None if no such user exists return Database.Users.get(i

Having just visited the site, I think it's fine. Everything he's asked for is plainly available on the front page: "a free and open-source..." is right there in the text up top, and links to the source/installation guide are plainly availa

Cheap, tacky. Makes me seriously concerned for Microsoft's health if they feel they need to resort to this kind of childishness.

So... what of TPB? All they do is link to copyright material; none if it's hosted there.

The point is: unexpected debt happens. Arguing semantics over a hypothetical case is not a meaningful tangent :).

So what if the shoe's on the other foot? A driver hits someone. The driver doesn't have insurance. He's now liable for the other person's medical bills, but can't afford them. He's now massively in debt over some random accident. No mat

That seems wrong. If a phone is held vertically, the 768 pixels is the width, not the height -- so the buttons take a chunk out of the 1280, not the 768.

There are always reasons why unauthorized access may be needed (or, to phrase it better: where authorization should be dynamically extended), however. For instance, if a patient arrives in the ED, then a doctor who has never treated them b

I strongly agree, and wish I could upvote you more. Before I enter CC details on any site, I check: is it HTTPS? Is the domain correct? The average user might not, sure, but it's there for those of us who do. This abstracts that away. C

Surely that's a bad thing ? It would be trivial to make an identical Javascript popup which harvested data rather than sending it off to Stripe. Yes, the current redirect-ad-infinitum workflow is reasonably trash, but this scares me a l

Wow, this... surprised me. The lack of subtitles is a perfectly valid criticism. Going off on the guy because he asked for them is reasonably harsh.

Thankyou for that. That'd have saved me a lot of drama :).

That's interesting. I tried for quite some time to find it (on both one friend's MBP w/ Mountain Lion, and another's with Snow Leopard, in case it wasn't present in the ML App Store), but couldn't. The support guy said they'd removed them

I wanted to blog about something similar myself, but currently lack a blog. Apple's rejection of physical media is, I would argue, extremely harmful. I have an old, 2008 Macbook (not Pro) 4,1. The old white plastic kind. Lion performs at

This is a valid point. I dismissed NoSQL for years, and still (largely) do (I prefer to have a schema, documented data structures, deal with relational data etc.)... but I finally gave Mongo a go the other day, and am actually quite impres

I assume you're getting downvoted for an aggressive tone, but I can't help but agree. "Lacking rigor" is a generous way of describing the article.

Kind of. This is the reason 2-factor makes me uncomfortable too: instead of having 1 username/1 password, it's actually 1 username/lots of passwords. And the passwords generated are all lowercase alphabetic characters (I assume to make th

I think one thing that's become obvious to me over time, and was only briefly touched on at Uni, is how important the supporting ecosystem around a language is - in particular, the build tools. When I first started programming, all I'd do

I've upvoted you, but I really want to second this verbally too. I don't see any adverts on IFTTT (and even if they were: once setup, I wouldn't be visiting the site often and seeing them), and don't understand how they're monetising. Thi

Chris programs Clojure, and Light Table's demos have (so far) been about Clojure. It's not a ransom: it's "if we get another $100k, we will spend that money on hiring developers to work explicitly on this feature". It's a notice informi
