Me too. I feel like it's a rite of passage as an American teenager. I guess the people who have families of their own are the most affected, but Black Friday was at least exciting compared to every other day of the year.

I was one of those hustlers from 2000-2002. I was in a junior high with only 90 students, and I was the first with a CD burner. It was best when a clique of girls would come up and ask for the exact same songs, $5/ea...easiest $15 ever

I worked at Geek Squad in the mid 2000s and we had one regular customer who had one of those X505. Its thinness and its lightness were unbelievable back then.

Looks very nice. Since you're using the FSharp compiler services, does that mean this supports "intellisense" for Type Providers?

Same here. I guess I figured they were for the "bad" teenagers in my neighborhood, who wouldn't be caught dead in an arcade.

not in the language itself, but you can obtain the full text of a function, detect the comment and parse it, and inject it where ever it needs to go.

I don't even think that this new client supports anything but GitHub. Their previous Windows client didn't.

Yeah, but by-and-large people are using it for a blog/CMS. It's definitely packed with features, but that doesn't make it elegant or fun.

First thing I thought about when I saw this was "can my wife, a photographer, use this instead of creating Actions in Photoshop to automated certain enhancements?" She does a lot of manual tweaking, but I'm going to show thi

Someone to come and sift through all the crap I have laying around my house and ask me what can be thrown out / donated while I'm doing other work and handle the subsequent disposal.

This is one of those things that people imply when they talk about "rockstar developers". Those who get so much stuff (of relatively significant achievement) done and have time to blog about it, and have time to speak publicly ab

I second Mr. Rippetoe's work. Starting Strength is a great book for those learning to lift. The technical detail he goes into is lost on a lot of people, but I really enjoyed how thorough he was.

I work with an entire department of C# developers, and frankly I don't think they care at all about OSS or giving back to the community. It's kind of a bummer, but I've tried to generate enthusiasm around open sourcing some o

Maybe this is why I'm loving F# more and more as I continue to dive in. I write C# at my day job, but there really is more interesting OSS development going on in F#. The community seems very approachable and I find myself actually wan

Not to mention all of the space a large music collection can take up. I've managed to sell about 400 of the 450 CDs I had collected because I just didn't want the cases around anymore. All I was doing anymore was buying the disc

I studied at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville and was forced to take a COBOL class. Anyone in the Computer Information Systems emphasis was required to take several COBOL-centric classes. A few classmates went on to write COBOL on t

I just switched to Ghost this weekend. Coming from WordPress, it wasn't 100% clear to me that there are no "plugins". It's pretty minimalist, which is good for me because I'm tired of being distracted. I just want

When I first started using Objective-C, I noticed how verbose the signatures were when passing messages, but really liked how it read when you were scanning the source. After that, I stopped giving a shit about how long my identifier names

I definitely remember old AOL "progz" referring to "fishing"/"phishing". "Phreaking" was a very popular term before that, which is where I'm guessing the f/ph replacement came from.

I love this app. I gladly paid $3.99 when I saw it, as I've been wanting something like this for awhile. Question: any evidence of increased battery life due to the lowered brightness on a portion of the screen? I was sitting in a dark

We're using Redis Geo to track customers who are "online" so that we can easily retrieve a list of users who are online and in the area. The user's permanent location is stored in a SQL database for permanent storage.
