Years ago, I remember reading about a Facebook, I think, backend system that developers building applications could hook into to automate some failure scenarios. I just haven't found the old link yet.

Is there a shirt design site that allows designs on the shoulders or sleeves? I have yet to find one.

After watching Starfire[0], I came to the conclusion that computer voice commands were another form of mystery meat navigation[1], with the added issue of interrupting the people around me. I have used it on my phone a few times, because th

I have never seen the inside of LayerVault. The demo page only has vague outlines of similar controls. Does anyone have screenshots of LayerVault in action?

Airplanes have auto pilot, construction equipment has GPS guidance, warehouses have automated material handling/sorting, and stores have self-checkout. Automation happens, even if people are "cheap".

Direct Source Link: https://github.com/braintree/braintree.js Neat, it uses the Stanford Javascript Crypto Library[0] and jsbn[1] to do all the encryption in javascript. I guess this is a good stopgap until the WebCryptoAPI[2] gets adopte

Forget rockets, a self-driving car is exactly the technology you would want for autonomous moon mining.

This is the kind of story I always see, but rarely get to hear a post-mortem or how they eventually fixed it.

I think of it as each language making functionality trade-offs, in their design, for specific goals. Each language tweaking the recipe to make a language that best fits the programming model they advocate.

I would add "Create custom annotations sparingly". It makes Java interop and debugging harder. But, that is just a personal pet peeve.

I thought there was a way to report these issues to Apple without a public letter. Also, the use of "embarrassing" to describe an unfortunate bug makes this feel like a disingenuous PR stunt.

I like that so many web frameworks have copied the good parts of others (generators, MVC, routes, migrations, asset pipeline, etc.). But, I am starting to wonder if all the copying is overshadowing less conventional, possibly useful, concep

You could exchange Rails for any technology stack you don't currently know and generate this same rant.

This initially looks like an IOC Container (StructureMap, etc) with automatic dependency resolution, except you can control the compilation of the internal graph. Is that accurate?

If they add in some generators, and throw in node-webkit support, this could end up like Microsoft Volta[1]. [1] http://www.liveside.net/2007/12/05/microsoft-releases-volta-...

I guess the issue with my usage of the word "hot" is its relative measurement of popularity. Just like the original comment's use of "widespread".

Neither can you store the money for long (5+ year) periods. The rate of inflation, and taxes, exceeds the interest on standard bank accounts.

Language adoption does not happen at a linear rate. Ruby languished for a decade until Rails made it hot. Javascript was a neat toy for years, until cross-browser frameworks, like Prototype and JQuery, made it developer friendly. The reviva

You are describing what Microsoft has done, and is known for doing, for more than a decade. I saw one developer create a list of MS technologies he would ignore because he felt they would disappear. A will-not-learn list.

I can honestly say, I do not compare the Tesla Model S to an Acura TL on price. It is something new, an actual viable electric car for normal consumers. I compare it to industry shifting products like the iPhone, LCD flatscreens, laser prin

There are products that can use the customization and one-off nature of 3D printing. You just have to think back to before mass production made everything the same. I still like the example of clothing. Clothing may be good enough now, but

I find it interesting that someone got a version of tinycore booting on EC2. Although, he has yet to describe in full what he had to do. http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,14057.0.html

If you also implemented it on other GOL variants (pentagonal, hexagonal, multicolored) it would be a virtual machine. Makes me want to build a compiler back-end for one of the GOL turing machines.
