Wow that's quite interesting. I've never gotten one if those so I don't know if it's new or I just never post anything interesting?!

"No shit. Are you any different?" In fact, that is exactly the difference. Men want sex so much that they will even sleep with someone to whom they have zero attraction. And afterwards, not only will they feel no shame or disgust,

Shameless plug, I released a simple GUI for youtube-dl written in the ancient language of Flex - https://github.com/jasonhinkle/Tube-DL/releases/tag/0.1.0 If anybody want's to make a build for Windo

That's true but those are scalable components within the app specifically designed to be scalable. You're not scaling the entire app window. If you have an area you want to be scalable, you'll have to implement it in JavaScri

I couldn't help but wonder if this would ultimately produce the same result as the "No No" shaver which, from what I read, is just a hot wire that burns the hair at the root. The reviews make it sound like its a rather slow a

I like how un-mac-like the space looks. It's kinda messy with raw cables and industrial machines laying about. It looks like a place where you get real work done - ironically designing stuff for the mac.

You're talking about a lifestyle company where a small group of people become successful and make a great living doing what they love. Absolute blasphemy around these parts! If you're not growing into a multi-billion dollar corpor

It's mind-boggling to me the effort it must have taken to get to Mars and send back photographs with the technology available in the 1970's. We're walking around with more computing power in our pocket than was probably avail

One man's bloat is another man's immersive experience I suppose. I do sympathize with you - your connection speed must be abysmal. But I'm glad the web is not being held back by that - instead I hope that articles like this m

I don't think it'd be a particularly popular decision to use tax dollars to pay for a murderer to have a funeral celebration and burial. Maybe that's callous but I'd guess that's the way it is in the US. As far as I

In some cases like my great grandfather, I suspect he actually enjoyed the conversation because he was bored. Even though we went to his house nearly every day, there's still a lot of hours in the day. He didn't get scammed over t

I live in a small condo building with 35 units. We have two separate yellow pages companies leave nearly a pallet full of books at our place. I'm talking like 200+ pounds of paper. Nobody in our building wants them, they go straight i

That particular style of thin fabric is fashionable with, for lack of a better word, hipsters. The t-shirts don't feel as substantial as a nice, thick cotton T, but they wear and look like old vintage shirts. The ones that feel kinda c

Google's kerning appears to be perfectly logical, mathematically speaking, according to the rules pointed out in the article. Rounded letters have a larger perceived space and so they need less kerning space. The difference seems to co

Perhaps in the house, but in the senate they're often used as a political tool rather than to address legitimate concerns with a bill. It's a shady way of making laws. Whether the ability to add amendments prolongs or delays the p

From what I read, they are building this app with the intention of it being like LinkedIn where the hope is for positive referrals. But of course we know there will be negative reviews. You can't leave anonymous reviews, which could be

It would be wonderful if Congress was not allowed to amend any bills. It seems to me that a major problem with our political system is adding pork to bills to either kill them or sneak in some unrelated legislation.

I suppose none of us in the peanut gallery know for sure. Knowing that they battle for 1 mile per gallon on their fuel economy ratings, my guess is that it's a minor effect for a car owner, but a major effect on VW's marketing. I

It'll be some firmware upgrade, the emissions will be fine but fuel economy will suffer by some minor amount. Then everyone will move on to the next tragedy. I don't really see a massive run on people trying to sell or return thei

“It sounds selfish,” Helms said of the deception, “but the way it works is, I’m working poor, and the people making the drugs are filthy rich, and I need a job.” This guy disgusts me. He acts as though it's just some me-vs-them thing.

If everything the author says is true, then there should be 50-per-year valid startups that can spin off from Quirky. He mentions an air conditioner, for example, that could have been excellent after a few iterations.

It's easy enough to run unsigned apps, you just have to ctrl+click and select "open" then you'll get a different prompt that allows you to install the app anyway. I suppose you can argue that, if that's the case, wh

The geographical timing is there based on the timing of the theatrical release to get the greatest profit from the film. The movie ideally has a cinema run, then when ticket sales slow they release for purchase on physical media (or premium

I've been at it in this industry for over 20 years now and I don't get the kind of clinical burn-out that the author is talking about. I get tired and take a day off, go on vacation or whatever. I also have never had the luxury of

I feel that as you are plugging away on what many might consider "boring" programming tasks, you become inspired to write your code more cleanly, efficiently, faster as well as automate things and improve your process. If you are
