Just pop in the title you're using for the page - Find Restaurants Endorsed by People You Trust. That's the powerful tag that's missing. It feels like Yelp on initial landing, but the "you trust" part gets me hooked

Check out this sweet dragon. http://randomstreetview.com/#wrua5_dhcmy_2m_a_-3 Seriously, this is a fantastic thing you've made. I'm enjoying it immediately.

That's the best argument against the name - that it actually causes the project itself to fail. Good insight.

The fun of programming languages and open source software is, guess what, you can change it. You don't like it? Write an alias in your bashrc. OSS authors are not held to a standard defined by all of you - they are welcome to express t

This sounds quite familiar to the manipulation Orbitz did in 2012 based on the user's reported operating system: http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/06/25/orbitz_displaying_...

I'd tend to say I agree with you, except for one thing: the response itself is clearly slightly in jest. You'd expect a comment like "I'm caught up with some day job work at the moment" to show up, but this one is c

While I like the idea of using LastPass, I think the danger lies at wherever your weakest link is, and the moment you choose to index your passwords somewhere other than your brain, you are creating the potential for a weakness. Specificall

Unfortunately, the closest this gets to describing flaws is citing the OWASP top 10 [0]. I suppose whenever someone does indeed hack into the system, we'll finally find out the specifics of the weaknesses. [0] - https://www.

The same could probably be said of most of the HTML generators out there. HAML, in particular, has a lot of similarities. I agree that programmatic things should be done with programming. I also think that for those who are coming from CSS,

I think this is a bit short-sighted. It's not about Turing completeness. It's mostly about DRY and flexibility. For instance, imagine using theme prefixes or conditionals. For-loops are fantastic for grid systems. The point of thi

For those of you who already use Grunt (if you aren't using Grunt, you can probably get used to the Ruby cli for SASS), there is indeed a relatively easy way to compile SASS: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contri

Working on reinstating the domain name. I let it lapse, and it went into redemption status. If you'd like, you can shoot me an email (address is in my profile) and I'll email you when it's back up and running.

I think conceptually that the hope is still the same. If you leave your code in a broken state, it will take some practice, but the idea is that it will liberate you from having to try to carry the cognitive load, because you have a natural

Along the same lines, Write a function that captures your TODO's, and set an urgency level. If the urgency is high, make it a fatal error (or whatever in your given language). This is a great way to make TODOs much more functional and

Tags are awesome. But, they often end up completely unrelated to musical elements, and purely related to personal or cultural connections. Take a look at some of the weird tags you can find on Last.fm. It's valuable, but different than

So I used the Echonest API on my final masters project, which created a shared music taste profile based on people in a given location, and used Echonest's built in smart playlist to play music in the space. As a part of the applicatio

Couldn't agree more with this. Effectively, Bret is taking a single page of quotes that are used in a marketing effort in order to frame the conversation in ways that people understand. Zuck's quote, for instance, conceptually map

My favorite thing about this article is that it doesn't harp and preach and bang and shove the bandwidth conversation down your throat. Truly, the bandwidth conversation is relevant mostly to non-motivated or new users. The abandonment

That makes sense. I think perhaps it's from the opposite perspective that I'm approaching this. Specifically, creating things that require customers/users to give up privacy. The model itself stands in place of a different ex
