I think in many cases a good minimalist framework will get a core set of functions out of the way (in web for example: routing, autoloading, dependency injection, etc.). Grabbing something small that provides a proven but efficient backbone

Ah, very nice! Any commentary on if it affects the speed of Quick Look in general? (I've noticed Quick Look getting slower in the last couple generations of OS X, and don't want to dog it down any more.)

You don't even need an Azure account, just a Live account. It's very slick, I use it on my MBP frequently.

Neat idea Josh. So have you sold 26 hours then (at time of writing), for a total of $351? What happens when you reach market rate, people just start buying fewer hours? Seems like it might peter out?

Actually there are. And it would be great if there was just a checklist that you could go against, but the best we've got is this page [1] from the IRS and some legal interpretation. I agree that the positions could more clearly state

There are limits to how much you can do this as a US-based company, and if you overstep the bounds the IRS will come a-knockin'. I imagine it's much easier to hire someone as a real employee inside the US, and based on the size of

Your local library system (or better yet, your university library system if you're a student) will be a very rich source for peer-reviewed papers. They're sometimes not the easiest things to navigate and search, but if you sit dow

I've liked Shiller's opinions and seen them before, and agree with them. Just because it makes a "terrible investment" however doesn't mean it's a terrible thing to do. You look at your home as an essential ele

One of the biggest keys to this experiment is he notes that he will only be checking email at specific times. If you are in a position to do so, this can be one of the very best ways to get your email overload under control. Love the experi

I've read about this before. My primary question, however, is wouldn't this put some big dings in your credit rating? The average age of accounts would go way down, the credit checks would go up, and your allowed debt to income ra

I really like Anonymous Pro and use it most of the time on my OS X machines. When not using Anonymous Pro, I also really like Adobe's Source Code Pro (free, and even on GitHub): http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/

The NSA facility is not in Provo, it is north of Provo by about 25 miles north near Bluffdale. Furthermore, Google isn't building out Google Fiber as much in Provo as it is simply acquiring the existing former municipal fiber. The arti

I helped a well known cancer center create an internal mobile app that allowed doctors to browse and filter a listing of all their current clinical trials. They had the information available in a database and exposed it via an (again, inter

I love Harvest because it takes that recorded time and pops it into an invoice. I wouldn't call it "a whole business management" solution, but it does a great job. http://www.getharvest.com/ http:/&#x2F

Fascinating from a scientific perspective, but this line piqued my interest the most: The detection system used can process 20 Gigabytes of data per second. Now I know that's not unheard of, but it certainly would be interesting

I think the real story here is the use of Kickstarter to remove the risk from further developments on the Android app. If you want to go ahead and create something, but are worried about it panning out, this starts to open up new options. I

If you don't need to store anything on the filesystem and don't need a DB larger than 100MB, then AppFog is a great and free starter choice. Doesn't work in all cases, but a really nice choice if it fits. https://www.appfog.com/

Some of the screenshots hark back to the good ol' days of homepages like iGoogle or Yahoo's customizable homepage. It's been a while since I ever had my browser go to one page when I start it up or open a new tab, so I'm guessing the integr
