   I think the idea is that developers who are also gamers are probably going to fit a certain company culture. Personally, I like working with other developers who like games and good beer. I haven't had great experiences with the type who lo

   Maybe the problem is that we think we're supposed to be serious. Writing code is fun, or at least it should be whenever possible.

   I loved when he would post up interesting code snippets, but he would make them animated gifs so you actually had to type them in. And hoodwink.d was really fun while it lasted (it was kind of a secret club that you had to explore and figur

   I'm the lead developer for Set For Marriage ( https://www.setformarriage.com ), and we've thought a LOT about these issues. We do charge people a subscription fee to be able to start conversations, but it does seem pretty unfair for people

   It's probably just a hoop they make you jump through to make sure you're "serious" so that they can cut down on app approval times without hiring a bunch more reviewers.

   Seems like this could be useful as an alternate API format. I'd like to see sites offering plist (bigger than JSON but dead simple parsing in Cocoa) and serialized formats as well as JSON and XML and all that.

    If it's interesting to the community of hackers who hang out here, then yes it should hit the front page. Don't worry, in 10 years you'll have forgotten all about this.

    The cheapest plan (email/calendar/contacts) is only $4 cheaper per year than Google Apps.

    I'm with you. I've always liked Klaypex (of Dubstep Guns fame) better than Skrillex, but I'm willing to give Skrillex another shot after this. Dubstep Guns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDlif8Km4S4

    I do too, and I wish people would realize that we practically trip over ourselves to issue refunds whenever they are requested, because we want to avoid chargebacks at all costs.

    It also probably wouldn't be super crazy difficult to use a Flash local storage fallback for them.

    You're better off using the full jQuery hosted at a common CDN, since it is likely to already be cached on the user's computer.

    It really doesn't matter, if you use a version of jQuery that is likely to already be cached (like the ones hosted at Google Code).

    Here's the thing about Vim or Emacs: Nobody can tell you when you need to switch to one of them. Your heart will tell you.

    I would also like to see the effect of East Indian names. My name isn't from India (it is from Thailand), but it is often mistaken for being Indian or Arabic.

    This is great, but there isn't any indication of what units the max filesize is using. Kilobytes or megabytes?

    The thing is, it's really good. They do one thing but they do it really well. Saved me a ton of time and measurably increased the number of fully completed profiles on SetForMarriage.com.

    I think the thing about turbolinks is you get a lot of the advantages of single-page apps but you can write it like a normal Rails app.

    Hmm that doesn't seem to work with turbolinks. page:change works, but it fires on every change, not just when the body contains the event. I tried making a pageLoad() function on pages that need extra functionality and then putting the foll

    Works great, but yeah this is the only thing preventing me from pushing it live right now (I already moved any page-specific JS to inside the body tags instead of in the head). I imagine you have to rebind all your $(function() {}) code to

    Filepicker does support drag and drop, you just have to drop it on the drop target.

    I've never seen jQuery described as a "solution accelerator framework" before.
