"i have no idea why minorities have a problem with someone telling them they're inferior being elevated and celebrated by the conference they're paying money for."

so who who cares if minorities are offended? that's, uh, kind of the point.

That's not always true. LiveCoding.tv is popular, and they're not prepared demos. They're mostly people googling their problems. Watching a flawless live coding demo can be impressive and inspiring. Also about "I can thi

I recently noticed DTW -> PHL was over $400 more on United than DTW -> PHL -> NYC. (For me, worst case scenario would be having spend an extra three hours on a train back to Philly.) It would be nice to know what percent of flight

CrossFit is literally a game. The metcon at the end of every class is scored, and there's often a leader board. (I'd argue this is why people, included myself, get so addicted) I'd argue that Sprints can be a game where the

I work better and harder when I'm actually playing a game. Pomodoros, sprints and CrossFit all take work and turn it into an actual game. If you are doing well you feel a surge of pride that the drudgery of typical 'work' can

To prove a 17 year-old committed child pornography by recording himself, a bunch of adults are going to stimulate and photograph his penis. Makes sense.

"i love relearning a new editor every two years"

yes, please use your bright-ass smart phone in the middle of the movie theater. distract every person behind you while you figure out when would be the most convenient time for you to pee. (this is why i don't go to movies anymore.)

"which can often uniquely identify you." "and potentially show up in unwanted places, like insurance, credit & background checks." yeah, i'm pretty sure that's not a thing that can happen. also, if you like the internet being free then

This is really a stretch to call this "client side" scripting when Silverlight is doing all the heavy lifting. It's a fun toy, but why an extra layer of abstraction when JavaScript + jQuery are crazy powerful.

"The birth of ORM lies in the fact that SQL is ugly and intimidating" The notion that people steer away from SQL because it is intimidating is absurdly ignorant. The communities that embrace ORMs and NoSQL are the ones who are learning and

I wasn't going to flood them with updates for every task, but whenever you get an achievement or level up. In http://kuwest.com you have more quantifiable tasks, so you can complete a quest when you, say, run 100 miles or read 1000 pages.

I'm working on a web version. http://kuwest.com The timeline is to have quests done by the end of July and at least a mobile website by the end of August.

I've been working on a web version of this since Startup Weekend Detroit: http://kuwest.com It's live now, but I haven't promoted it. I was going to hold off until I had the quest engine done and polished a little more, but feel free to
