Besides the fact that I disagree with some of your observations, it's not really clear what your point is. Are you saying these companies shouldn't try to compete if it isn't in an area where they've already been success

As someone that's done it (a dozen or so times), I always read these threads and feel confused about whether I should recommend it to other people. I usually do recommend it, though, with plenty of caveats. It can be an incredible expe

This failed on me recently (a couple weeks ago) and I was very surprised when it happened. It was a US 10-watt(?) adapter that came with a 3rd-gen iPad I bought a while back. The adapter is two pieces that fit together (like Apple's ma

They don't solve the same problem; Ansible (as you must know) is for configuration management and remote execution while Vagrant is a set of tools around VMs to help with development. I use them together for almost every project I work

Yeah, I should have been more clear. Regular JS in the renderer processes showed errors in the console as usual. However, if I tried using one of the NW.js APIs incorrectly in the renderer, or there was any error at all in the main process

I'm not OP, but I've also used both and recently switched a production app from NW.js to Electron. I'm extremely happy with the decision to switch. Benefits of Electron: * Much more active development, more frequent releases,

How carefully were you tracking calorie intake? It's notoriously difficult and I simply don't believe you ate 1500-2000 calories at 340lbs and didn't lose weight (not that you need to convince me). In any case, congrats on th

I'd argue that it's much more important to maintain strong privacy rights than it is to convict the minority of criminals that would be caught by indiscriminately searching their phones. Keep in mind, almost all this data lives el

Well sometimes I go crazy when I'm alone, and other times I go crazy when I'm with a group. The reason I don't buy the dichotomy is that if these two things can be true for the same person, is there any value in making the di

I'm the same way, and I've heard that repeated a few times now. I have to wonder though, does anyone actually "recharge" when they're with a group of people or do they just have a higher tolerance for spending tim

I ran into this bug myself, and I spent an afternoon or so debugging it. A simple library upgrade (Underscore 1.7.0 -> 1.8.2) broke a key feature of a site I was working on, but only on my iPhone. It worked just fine on my iPad running t

In case you didn't know, you can have Django auto-generate models from existing databases. I've used it a couple times and it worked very well. Relevant docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto&#

Hey. I've been freelancing for about 5 years more or less. (Disclaimer: I did recently accept a job as an employee, but not for any reason that should discourage you. I think freelancing is awesome and expect to do it again at some poi

You would have it stored from a prior connection to the network. Of course, it's trivial to spoof that too so the additional check doesn't do any good.

I spent the time to learn Marionette, and while it improved my Backbone code enormously, I found there was a pretty steep learning curve to using it correctly. And even so, I found doing certain things was often overly difficult or confusin

Yup, saw it and looking forward to trying it (haven't yet). But just reading through the description made it clear it wasn't quite ready yet.

Yeah, Vintage mode was okay. I liked the Vintageous plugin a bit better but even that left me wishing for Vim some of the time (more time to adapt might've helped). Other than that, it seems like an incredibly well-designed editor. Rea

I signed up for an invite less than 1 min after I saw the first mention of it on twitter ( https://twitter.com/defunkt/status/438789450147979264 ) and received the invite maybe 15 minutes or so after that. I was giv

I've been playing with it for a few minutes now, and it's definitely the case that it's easier to tweak. Not because of the underlying language, but because they expose so much of what's available through a GUI. I'm

I listened to this podcast the other day and it was one of the more compelling This American Life episodes I've listened to recently. I say that as a pretty big fan of TAL. They spend the episode interviewing car salespeople and manage

I voted "Others" because I prefer to use a combination of OSes, namely OS X and a Linux distro (I use Ubuntu). My desktop runs OS X and I use it mainly for my visual tools. Anything having to do with image manipulation, all my bro

While mice spread the bacteria to a new generation of ticks, reducing deer populations apparently does have a dramatic effect on their ability to spread the disease. I'm on a mobile device, so the best I can do right now is http:&#x2F

The subject of meditation isn't all that important, the focus is. Breathing just happens to be a great subject: it's simple and repetitive, it's always with you, it's something you can feel (you're supposed to pay attention to the sensation

I think when most people say 'meditation' what they mean is 'mindfulness meditation' (and that seems to be the case here). During mindfulness meditation, yes, resisting urges is part of what you're supposed to do. The basic process goes som

I downvoted you, and so I feel compelled to explain. To your first point: On the desktop there are three ways to scroll: the scrollbar, the mousewheel, the trackpad. Of those three, only the scrollbar makes it obvious when you've reached th

I'd strongly recommend getting that extra 1GB if you're looking for a cheap way to boost performance (even if you have to buy 2x2GB sticks). It's not marginal by any means if your OS is swapping - it will probably be a dramatic increase in

Some criticism of the App.net project, which I hope is constructive: It took a bit of reading between the lines, but from what I understand Dalton is trying to build a paid version of Twitter which is beholden to users and developers rather
