I thought it might've been because omelette is a pain in the ass to spell. In fact I could've used an auto-complete when typing this comment.

You are constructing a pretty big strawman here. The author is saying that MOOCs don't offer the level of sociability that brick-and-mortar classes do. Somehow you morphed that (correct) statement into someone telling you that you don't des

Or, many of them do want to take advantage of their vacation, but the culture is such that they feel like they shouldn't take vacation because nobody else does.

Of course not! They would be attached to extremely long poles coming out of the ground, just like in the Jetsons.

Is anyone else getting this? In order to perform site maintenance, our online shop has shut down temporarily. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you please try again later.

Yeah, a big part of the next release will be a better way to add one's own styling to the table. I like your class array idea. I'll also be sure to change the default to right-justified for numbers.

Thanks. Fixed a couple minutes ago.

ATable author here. This is my first real open source project, so I'm looking forward to any feedback I can get. This grew out of a project I was doing for my current employer when I realized it might be helpful for other developers as well

I suppose I actually searched for all of those stock tickers while I was putting together the page. I was pretty sure I didn't, but it makes sense now because I had to get a decent approximation of the closing prices.

I don't know. Something about it just feels invasive. It probably doesn't help that the Now card was not useful at all to me. I noticed that they scraped my gmail for an OpenTable reservation confirmation a while back and notified me when i

ATable creator here. My goal was to develop a functional, interactive grid that is easy to use with any data source, can handle huge amounts of data, and is as small as possible. This is my first open source project, so I'm definitely loo

Would you stand by that statement if you were diagnosed with terminal cancer tomorrow? Your spouse? Child? The point isn't to keep sick people alive longer, it's to make them not sick.

Pure Chrome dev tools and Firefox/Firebug. Maybe it's a case of not realizing I need something because I don't know about it yet, but they seem to work fine for me.

I actually had an OpenTable confirmation in my gmail that wasn't added to my calendar, and Google Now still alerted me when it was time to leave. That one creeped me out until I realized it had scanned my email (still kinda creeps me out).

He was obsessed with marrying this woman, and if he thought smuggling drugs for her would win her over, that seems like motive to me.

Excellent explanation of the confirmation bias, and I suspect this is exactly what's at work here.

I have a really hard time believing glass can deliver this quite yet. I would've agreed, except that I've been extremely impressed with what Google Now is already doing on my phone. Still in its infancy, it's often creepy how relevant the

True, relative to those things. I guess I was setting the "healthy" bar at things like eggs, oatmeal, whole wheat toast, lower-fat deli meats and completely forgetting about the fact that people eat donuts and other pastries for breakfast.

I always figured it was because you experience time relative to how long you have already lived. One year seems like forever when you are 5, because it's 20% of your life. One year at 50 is only 2% of your life, so it seems shorter.

Understood. Like you, I'm sure, I think I'm in the non-oppressor group. I often want to share my opinion in many of the posts about examples of tech industry sexism, but I never click the reply button. Even after taking a few minutes and th

As opposed to these types of comments that attempt to preempt and invalidate the viewpoints of straight, white, upper middle class males because every single one of them obviously can't think objectively.
