I've used Safari Books, Pluralsight and Egghead.io. Pluralsight was pretty good. I got a lot out of a number of videos. Since they cover a variety of topics, it was great to spin up on something when I needed it. For instance, I was

On your designs, is it just that the user reviews some comps or is it something they can interact with (e.g. InVision)? In my experience, a lot of issues around a design doesn't actually come out until someone uses it. The other side i

After the Snowden stuff, I still find it hard to entrust Google and Facebook with the data necessary to provide the super-personalized experience despite the things they have done to try and win back confidence. Since I still use Google and

I really wish there was a docker container for this. I was going to make one but didn't have the energy to dig into the documentation about installation from binaries. Maybe later...

When I first read the HN title, I thought it was that HP was going to cut somewhere between 25 and 30,000 jobs.

Was the email you're replying to connected to the issue you're discussing? If yes (e.g. Support Forum message), then no-reply is a bad UX and it absolutely should connect to an appropriate channel like posting the response to the
