The best advice I was given when my daughter was born was to not only put away hobbies, but to remove them from view. Suggestions I was given where things like: packing up the game console and games and put them in the closet, donated the

The high end tablets of 2011 were underpowered, the tablets and phones of 2015 really are something and the cheap-o tablets are pretty good too. PC's by their nature of being built of a handful of parts can only get so cheap while tab

I personally found the 4K monitors just nice, but could never justify them. Just recently I discovered monitors that have a 21:9 ratio. It is the same as having two monitors, but without the bezel in the middle. It is the first time in a

> Interesting. So amazon deals with putting in the ads and the app dev gets paid for every minute the app is used. Seems like an interesting idea, probably useful for games that are very engaging (read: time drain) Except if you can buy

> The match of employee contributions into their 401(k) plans is below average and made entirely in Amazon stock, which leaves employees dangerously exposed to the company's fortunes. How about this other aspect of their 401k plan?

I wasn't implying that playing the market would result in higher or lower returns simply that one person that I know that did day trade successfully did it as a full time gig.

I do know at least one person that day traded for a few years. He didn't get rich, but it was in the very nice salary range. Ultimately quit because it was stressful every morning starting all over. This is also the same reason I onl

I often play a game where I first write some shell script in some way that was quick and easy to do. I start it running and see if I can in another terminal figure out the faster "correct" method. I rarely ever win.

Why go the donation route? Why not first one is free and future ones cost pennies? If people found it valuable they will pay for it. Going with free also encourages those that want to send ads to use your service and so you would spend a

When I looked at Cordova it was a complete mess and pain to deal with. The docs where confusing and out of date. I just needed a simple x-code project, not a kitchen sink that was installed in the attic for some reason.
