So if you have an existing DigitalOcean account, it makes it seem like you can't apply the promo code to it. But I shot off a ticket to DigitalOcean's support, and they applied the $100 promo to my account within 5 minutes. So def

I also love his enthusiasm for whatever he's talking about. Every time I listen to him I suddenly feel motivated to go and write a bunch of code.

Huh? What are you talking about? This is his Reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/xnotch Three comments since the announcement that have nothing to do with the money.

I remember a few of these difficulties being mentioned in Sebastian Thrun's Self-Driving Cars course on Udacity. It's been awhile, but I seem to remember the snow discussion in particular. The problem wasn't just slippery con

I'm still pretty fond of fish myself, mainly for the sane scripting. Wondering if it might be worth switching to zsh for the extra plugins and community support, though.

I've been using Seafile for a few weeks as well, and have been pretty impressed. It's been a better experience then ownCloud, for me. Having an open source syncing service with client side encryption is great.

Interesting, thanks! The Indie Statik article didn't do a good job of framing who he was. I'll bet Polaris tries to push the "it was all Matti's fault" angle that the Indie Statik article had. But I'm assuming

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what's going on with that so I removed that part of my post for now. The author just tweeted again saying "he wasn't fired", so maybe they haven't actually cancelled his contract. Th

Some choice quotes: > ...but Matti pushed the angle. And as the challenge went on we discovered that he had cornered Jon in a room to try and get him to speak poorly of Zoe, the only negative “story” they could muster out of all fifteen

He mentioned that he'll still be around in the link: > I'll still be around as a user, but less frequently than when I felt I had to check the site every hour or so to make sure nothing had broken.

I'll admit to getting annoyed a bit by all of these 2048 clones. But this made me laugh regardless.

Andreas Antonopoulos set it up for him for donations: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1ztjmg/andreas_im_f... They're taking donations for the rest of the month, and if Dorian doesn't a

What a crazy bunch of events in the Bitcoin world today. Of course, this isn't necessarily proof that Dorian isn't Satoshi. (I personally don't think that he is, but I guess we'll see.) Regardless, it sure will be nice w

Interesting stuff! (Curious, why not just link to the SuperUser question instead of the LifeHacker link, though?) I rarely use USB drives these days, and I don't remember the last time I used one that didn't belong to me. Probably

I don't develop C++ professionally or anything, but it's my understanding that a lot of people agree that unique_ptr's and shared_ptr's are the way to go these days.

Yeah...the only money I've personally put into any cryptocurrency has always been with the understanding that it may either be worth nothing tomorrow or could be lost in an instant. (But I also don't store my coins in an exchange,

Best of luck to their support team. Outages can make tech support's life miserable. If you call in, just remember the person on the other side of the phone has likely been yelled at all morning for something that wasn't their faul

Kind of odd that 4m units is considered a flop. Jim Sterling did a video on that idea of what AAA "success" in terms of sales is awhile ago: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/7

Well, I think the chat is set in slow mode, so you can only send a command once every 30 seconds. I tried to implement a voting algorithm on the Dark Souls stream I did today, but I didn't have enough people for it to work. The idea wa

I setup something similar to this today, but for Dark Souls instead. (Pokemon to Dark Souls -- that escalated quickly.) It was actually pretty fun, but the Twitch delay made it difficult. We managed to kill a bunch of enemies and slowly mak

Would you happen to have any info you could share on your internship program? I wasn't able to find any info on it on your site. (What type of internship positions are open, maybe a bit on what you're looking for in interns.) Your

My university has been using Canvas for several years now. It's actually not bad -- so much better than Blackboard was.

I haven't been there before. What makes it better? (/r/bitcoin could definitely use a lot of improvement, of course, so an improved sub would be interesting to me.)

There's a large community over at http://reddit.com/r/bitcoin . Most of the Bitcoin posts we see here could likely be relegated to a more specific venue like that. I do like seeing interesting Bitcoin posts here fr

My problem is then I'll get too many phone calls. And for me, a phone call is more disruptive to my workflow then an email. Then again, that's probably just because I dislike talking on the phone in general.

Actually, I don't think that's true. As a noun: > prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. As a verb: > cause to feel or show inclination o

I sure am glad I don't suffer from any of these cognitive biases. I'm much better than the average person at identifying and squashing them in myself. Dunning-Kruger in particular!
