I really do love my pet. She's awesome. But I show my pet pictures to people. That's the fundamental problem here - the point of Pinterest / Instagram / Facebook is that very few people want to look at one kind of thing,

The way I have found to really get the most out of my minutes is to trick my brain into processing a new thing. This really is fundamentally a new way of thinking, but if you do something different every day, you are tripping up the "c

I very highly recommend contracting with a well-established company to attain the work visa, and freelancing with a few different companies to gain experience and perspective before signing on with a company. I'd highly recommend again

There are some advantages to adding the copyright, but none of them are legal... sort of. The way copyright law works isn't black and white - it's more like a harsh linear gradient where there is a lot of space of black and a lot

Love Spring. Will help every day development immensely. Thank you for the ActionMailer previews. Working on an app with a bunch of mailers - things get wily fast, and a bunch of static files sit around to be tested for display. I think the

On one hand, I agree with this: women should be treated as equals in business situations. On the other hand, I believe this: it is perceived as inappropriate when an authoritative figure of one sex is seen in a semi-private setting with a s

Awesome - never seen HipCV before, but that's definitely down the direction I'm thinking. Certainly not an all-things solution, which is what I like about it. Thanks for the info!

This looks like an awesome idea. Honestly one of the better executions I've seen in quite a few senses. There are quite a few things I'd say make this difficult to a first time user. 1. The tools being on two separate sides of the

I am particularly happy with the implementation of this being so close (geographically) to the tools I already use. I constantly have inspector open. Now, the hard part will be figuring out exactly how this will fit into my existing workflo

This is in line with a long laundry list of horribleness about user experience as related to DMs in my opinion. They don't work as expected, and quite honestly to me it feels like Twitter is running a campaign to destroy peoples'

Note: I am not the author of this pen, but it's one of a series of really cool pens using box-shadow extensively to create "pixely" illustrations.

Just as a fun polish, you should build really awesome "unavailable" pages for your 404s and 500s that points out the obvious semantic irony.

Agreed. I think this is also an issue with the way we teach; we should teach students to have the confidence to deny the solvability or soundness of a problem on their own (rather than forcing irrational thought in order to arrive at a solu

This is incredibly interesting to me, and points to a problem in our schools. We traditionally teach children to solve problems that have solutions. In particular, eighth grade teaches pre-algebra and algebra, so the way students approach p

Two awesome pieces of marketing on this page. 1. "Your Best Email Address" - this page is almost invariably marketed to people who likely have at least 3 email addresses. I know what my "best" email address is, so this s

My point isn't invalid. Communication is messy, and this is an example of that. "I was in the middle of the ocean!" Did you think I was in water? You're wrong. I was on an island that is in the middle of an ocean. "

Perhaps this is nit-picky, but this isn't at all parallax. It's fixed elements mixed with non-fixed elements. For it to be simulated "parallax", it must have elements that move at different speeds that mimic the effect t

I think this is kind of like an air conditioning company saying, "If it can cool you off in the tropics, it can cool you off anywhere!" The facts are simple: there are significant parts of Africa that are very sparsely connected t

It's certainly not meant to be a complete solution, but it can be expanded to include both horizontal and vertical scrolling, so that either will work.

I'd love to see this as a zoomable timeline, where less important events are less visible when zoomed out, so that the timeline itself is fully visible at 100%. Draggable timeline in a max 100% w/h window would fix the scrolling w

A possible solution for the location issues: why not have it deliver to a predetermined booth-like location? Think: Redbox. Of course, this would be much more valuable if it was set up as a open-source-ish thing (where, for instance, an HOA

I totally understand. My sister and a close friend of my wife's both have OCD, and I have also had very mild obsessive tendencies, and it's definitely nothing to joke about. I think it has been over generalized to people who have
