Absolutely. I remember going down this internet rabbit hole one day a few years ago. I remember feeling like it helped me better understand just how many people there are in China that a single city/area could be known for putting out

I did the exact same thing. Those electric scooters are also a lot more fun than sitting in someone's Prius. Especially as the weather here in DC warms up, I can see myself shelling out the $2 fee for a bike/scooter way more often

Not OP but I did the same thing. 7 and 8 seemed comparable but for a pretty negligible price difference, it seemed to make sense to just buy the latest and greatest. Agree that the speed is unbelievable. I was totally fine with my 6 and how

I think the things I've been happiest with, at least visually, have been a result of the things I've been the most unhappy with to the point where I want to fix them. Things where I understand how I use them and understand how I&#

Something that's kind of tricky for me and my team is that we disagree on things like indentation and spacing in/around brackets and parens. The disagreement isn't just a "I think it should be done this way..." but

This seems odd. It feels unfair to shame companies because they may or may not contribute to a handful of projects you've picked out. I'd also encourage the author to do a bit more digging. The first entry calls out Instagram for

Creating a projectname.sublime-project is usually my first step when I start a new development project. In fact, I do it so much I have a text expander shortcut for it. Then I have a short bash alias `lime` that takes the place of `subl`:

S3 works really nicely. I'm building my Octopress-based site using snap-ci (free for public builds). It was fairly straightforward to configure for use with S3 and you can run just about anything you want on it.
