My own experiences with Facebook have been pretty disappointing. I ended up reconnecting with old friends I'd lost touch with over the years, only to find out that with the exception of exactly one of them, they all had political, religious

I'm looking forward to this, but right now the find anything menu is crashing all over the place for me on OS X 10.8.2 I'm confident they'll sort it out and I'm happy to pay them $30 when they do, but it looks like I won't be beta testing f

Sinatra is great for simple REST APIs. Throw in ActiveRecord (or DataMapper, but I prefer ActiveRecord's migrations), and RABL and it would be perfect for making small APIs for single-page apps.

In my case, it's mostly a matter of browsing HN late at night, so I come in late to most discussions and usually don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said. Replying with "I agree" doesn't exactly add to the conversation, so I

I don't do it all the time, but when I do it's usually to increase contrast, or to mark my place in long text that I'll need to come back to. I also do it to find the mouse cursor. The text cursor is thin and not always easy to find amongst

Oh, good point. Hmm..... Well, if they are not real, then it seems even more pointless. Yeah, color me confused. I get/like the idea of trying to engage people in conversation about important social issues and technology, which is what I th

This is an interesting idea with a horrible landing page. But right now it's just profiles of three (interesting) people. Their messages and vision are great, definitely something I could get behind, but there's nothing there to engage in

My step mother goes midnight shopping every year. I went with her last year, due to a temporary lapse of sanity. It had been weeks since I'd been out of the house due to medical reasons and I thought well, it was something to do. The stores

Do you get much flak from others for your sensitivity to noise? Some noises bother me a lot. Anything that's repetitive will annoy me to the point that I basically cannot function and get extremely angry, and it only takes a minute or two t

That's great. Surround yourself with as many good mentors as you can and take full advantage of their experience. I've probably learned more over the years from great bosses than I did in school. Congrats on publishing the module. :)

Here's my (rather opinionated) setup. I'm quite visually impaired, so getting my editor just right so I can code comfortably is important. Most of my changes have to do with making things easier to see. http://kellishaver.tumblr.com/post/2

On OS X, the "Fred" voice is pretty close. say -v Fred Hello. My name is Fred.

This was my first thought, as well. This would be nice for building a clean, minimal UI for a phonegap app or a mobile web site.

I used to not like syntax highlighting, but then I started writing more complex, lengthier code in a variety of languages. Instant feedback for error checking aside (which is incredibly useful) I like the "texture" syntax highlighting adds

I've never experienced it either, but maybe it's regional influence. I've worked on a lot of teams over the years, often as the only female on a project. Only once have I felt in any way "different" from anyone else on the team, be it in a

This is all true, but when your barista explicitly reminds you to tip them it still feels pretty pushy and tactless. That said, I think a lot of people may not realize that baristas make server's wages, so it may not occur to them to tip, o

I look at it more as mood lighting than functional light you'd fill your whole house with. I might get the starter kit for my home office. It's a bit pricey, though. I believe it's built on ZigBee protocols so hopefully it would be possible

Have you heard anything about what they plan to do with the 8gb when this happens? I've heard they'll stop making them, but it'd be nice to buy one of the leftover stock at a reduced price. I have an 8GB and it's fine for my needs (still 4.

I thought this was weird, too. The reason I bought a Nexus 7 was because of the 7in screen. Saying "It's a smaller iPad, but bigger!" just wasn't doing it for me. Maybe it was an attempt to sell people on the higher price tag.

That's interesting, because I have not touched my iPad since getting a Nexus 7, except to test websites on it. I use it for reading ebooks, some browsing the web, reading email, managing my calendar, and very occasional casual gaming. It's

Flashcards didn't work for my daughter at all. She just can't learn that way. What we did for spelling and math facts was just to have her write each word/fact in the list X number of times (usually 5) and then we would quiz her on them. If

I feel similarly. I studied art in school-my degree is in fine art, with an area of focus on design. I spent a lot of time after I graduated working as a frustrated designer. My clients were happy, but nothing was ever "good enough" in the

I think there are (intentionally) qualities to the game that can be addicting to some people, but that's common of a lot of video games and not unique to WoW - though they do seem to have the formula down to a T. It comes down to the person
