If you click on the commits tab, you can see which files have had the most activity. That should at least put you in the right place so you can ignore configuration files etc...

The goal of this piece is not to teach people how to use git, but to give a way of thinking about git that will hopefully help new git users understand it better. It ended up being more of a wall of text than I had hoped. Feel free to fork

To me the more interesting part is how Google has managed to maintain a sense of fun and a corporate attitude that allows fun hacks to make it to the world. I'd love to know what the process was from engineer ideation (I Presume). Past prod

The first part of this article is all about apps doing unnecessarily large network requests. The lack of gzip, optimized images, and redundant requests are more a sign of developers having not enough time or knowledge in the area of bandwid

Ironicly, this site is unusable on a mobile device thanks to a "fixed" div too large for my screen.

This is the first time I've seen the free tutorial with the option to buy the source and assets. I think this is a very interesting way to solve the problem of monetizing while still allowing uncrippled content. What is interesting to me i

I've tried to learn vi for years. The simplicity of this tutorial is the first thing that allowed me to "get it." Maybe I'm just ready at last, but the quick tutorial gave me just enough beyond what I needed to know before (i/r/:wq) to gr

As I look around, I see mass, systemic unemployment taking hold. This ever increasing march of technology may result in more goods being created, but due to the nature of our capitalist society, it tends to pool the capital in those who hav

It could simply be Starbucks didn't want to be associated with the project, or they never gave Mobiquity permission to use their name as an endorsement. This stunt could have caused them to notice. And this could still be the case while a

It could be a move to have Starbucks disassociate themselves with Mobiquity. Perhaps Mobiquity didn't have permission to use their logo or name them as a client. If Jonathan's card brought it to Starbucks' attention, that could precipitat

At Bump we cycled through various options: etherpad based self-organizing lunches, burrito factions, followed by 4 or 5 different catering options. Zero Cater was the winner hands down. We've been using them for a couple of months now. The

Don't forget that you have to deal with existing messages, which may be longer than 140, and may be truncated in your new views/layouts, making history unpredictable. Don't forget that you're going to want to add attribution to the SMS, so

Hi ajg, Bump iOS developer here. It's hard to get a feeling of the redesign of an app just from screen shots (i.e. you can't tell what the depressed state is from a screen shot). You also can't tell that in the real app the hands are anim

Thanks! The slides weren't made to stand on their own, and are not entirely self-explanatory. I'd love to chat about this in person if you're in the valley.

Here are some slides from one of my workshops on using magic to create better technology: They are very controversial, especially out of context, so please understand that the slide that says the value of learning goes down over time has ob

Recently, in the tech and geek community, I've noticed a backlash towards magic. I understand it in the contexts of the rejection of blind faith and superstition, but I think it fails to recognize the larger scope of the word magic. I did a

I think the argument is much more nuanced. The danger isn't inherently in the filters themselves, it is in the way they shape people's beliefs unknowingly. Understanding that these filters exist give you the ability to start to think abou

If you can assume that your users will most likely use the same computer, you can make this technique slightly more secure. Have the random link only log you in if the device is recognized as one that has logged in with a password before.

I'm cross posting because I was late to the discussion last time, but the audio is stereo and is based on where on the string you strum. I found that a nice little detail.

Talk about attention to detail: if you have headphones you can tell that the audio shifts from left to right, based on where your mouse is. Try different spots on the long string in the middle for the best effect.

Perhaps not showing you your own comment scores would help. Only logged in people could see scores, and you don't see your own. Sure you could sign in as another account, but if you are willing to do that, then there's not much we can do fr

This is just a quick hack that pulls out the "best" or most information dense sentences from an article and shows them to you. Any suggestions or forks are welcome.
