This is interesting. I tried to do something similar for my PhD (though I ultimately failed). I was particularly interested in making connections between the people who inhabit the same places at the same times: those fellow commuters who a

urgh... yes I've used it but I was hoping for something a little less 1980's. We can have multiple windows now ;-) I find it useful to be able to see the current stack, drill into variables, view my code with syntax highlighting, and the cu

I think you're right. The intersection of interested Ruby developers + with Java experience + knowledge of the Netbeans platform + and motivation/time to maintain the plugin seems vanishingly small.

Nooooo.... I've gradually moved away from NetBeans as a general Ruby/Rails editor but I often came back for the great debugging support. Any suggestion for alternative Rails debuggers?

Good news. Titanium has always been missing a default IDE/editor.

This is the previous study that was cited in the article: http://phobias.about.com/od/research/a/snakeandspidpho.htm (I'm sure I read it in the dead-tree version on the New Scientist but can't find it now). What's interesting is that the

I'm a two-spacer ^. Perhaps it is wrong by current standards but I still think it adds to the scan-ability of a paragraph. They call a paragraph full of holes ugly, I call it easier to scan. And for the record, monospaced fonts aren't dead:

"If you value your online photos, pay for the hosting and they'll still be around next year" That's been Smugmug's matra for years and I truely believe it, which is why I've been hosting my photos there for about 4 years now. I was burned b

I wonder if you couldn't white-label the technology and sell it to those types of businesses. That way they could apply their own branding and incorporate it into their existing sites.

Nice idea, although technically it's not origami if you need to cut the paper.

From the discussion in the link, it seems that the unfortunate victim had previously discussed his holiday plans. If this was anything other than a random attack, that information "leakage" could have been a contributing factor. Issues of

Just to clarify: I don't work on side-projects when I'm in the office, "at work" or using their equipment. Only at home and on my own equipment. My contract also states that they understand people do other activities and the company doesn't

It's very annoying to be out, find out about an interesting app, and then have to remember to download it at home on WiFi because it's over 20MB (inevitably, I don't remember). Ironically, my wifi at home is just serving up a 3G signal anyw

I believe that's how the Ikea app and at least one Wikipedia-based app (sorry, can't remember the name) work. Small app download, followed by a larger content download.

I joined a very large software company almost 4 years ago, knowing that it probably wasn't for me... but you can only know for sure if you try these things. As for the stated advantages? I don't see them here. I'm considering starting the

Seems like a good hack for shoes too (admittedly, just the toes section). This might come in handy as we in Ireland are about to experience some severe snow/ice storms over the next week and are perpetually unprepared for the snow which bri

My more pragmatic reasons for choosing Tropi over Twilio: 1. having the voice scripts written in Ruby and hosted by Tropo was easier than building a web service to control every mundane aspect 2. Tropo would supply non-U.S. numbers if I nee

This sounds like stellar news for Heroku employees and investors. I'm not sure how it's going to be good for Heroku customers (like me) in the long-term. There will be the inevitable brain drain over the course of 1-2years when key staff mo

Probably "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl... Although I'm not sure that the book will have the same impact without the accompanying life events. So short of that, i'd give my 16 year old self the missing pages from the Dabs C boo

I initially liked Twilio but I actually went with Tropo for a small project as the ability to upload a Ruby script kept everything easy. No need to learn another language or even use a RESTful api. Just write the script, upload and you're g

LessFramework only works properly for IE9, whereas the original framework above cites IE7 and IE8 compatibility. It's an unfortunate fact of web development that those browsers are important.

When I owned a Symbian phone I did use it to browse the web but I used Opera Mini. The symbian browser was pitifully slow and awkward. That might also account for the small percentage.

See the Ergotron Workfit http://ergotron.com/ though I've gone for a cheap standing desk fixed at standing height and a stool for the occasional rest. Unfortunately this is at home so I still spend most of the day sitting :-(
