In a room full of introverts, I'm the guy in the corner. Well, at programmer meetups I am, anyway. Shy and introverted are two different things, but in either case it extends to electronic interactions as much as it does to person to person

I've wondered why there isn't a set of national texts available for core math and science subjects. They're pretty stable subjects. So at one point I decided to find out what the mission of the Dept. of Education is, and the shocker (to me,

I have a cousin who works in PR for Microsoft, and he told me that since Ballmer became CEO the headcount in marketing and sales positions has tripled. (This was a few years ago and was just his ballpark estimate.) I can't help but think th

It's too bad they just show a reconstructed image of what the forest looked like. I would really like to see what the fossilized remains of an "almost perfectly preserved 298 million year-old forest" looks like rather than an artist's ren

I'm not sure this data is meaningful. I recall searching for several real symptoms that I had, and the step 2 options were so far off that I decided to just try the suggested searches to see the sample results.

Agreed. Some of the fields could use better labeling. For example, there are three font color settings, and the only way I could tell what each field affected was to enter red, green, and blue then view the results. Plus, it needs another f

I can't tell whether this is supposed to be serious. Here's a simple test, show someone the dot => alphabet mapping for A to E. Next, write a dot in the middle of a plain white piece of paper and have your test subject tell you which le

You really need a privacy policy linked from the front page. I hope it goes without saying that if someone wants to follow news about medical_condition_x, people are going to be sensitive about who has access to the data linking their email

Agree. I cut off daily visits to news / political sites six months ago. I'm less stressed and I get more work done. The other day I saw more headlines about the pending doom from the collapsing Greek economy. That doom has been pending any

Nah. The world is full of people who can point out problems. Knowing how to fix them is where the value is. I claim no expertise in that regard.

Thanks for the offer. :) FYI - Your carousel isn't centered, the follow shareme button is clipped, and the Android, Hello article has an extra </div> in the <section id="getsdk">, causing the remainder of the page to be left

I like the idea, and I hope it does well. But what I would pay money for is a series of lessons on how to customize bootstrap. The whole reason I'm using bootstrap for my site redesign is because: - I can't find off the shelf themes tha

You need look no further than primetime TV in the US. ABC and NBC both have shows based on Grimm's Fairy Tales - Once Upon a Time and Grimm . Both shows are doing well in the ratings and have the public domain works of Grimm to thank for

1k is impressive as a coding feat, but I'm not sure of the practical application of this - i.e., I'm less impressed with 1k of code when my CPU meter gets into the red zone - and stays there. My tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory is that the Can

Thanks Charlie. (Had to do a hard page reload to see them, though. Chrome's caching is maddening sometimes.)

Nice. One suggestion: add color presets. I know there are others who have commented on cookie cutter designs, but for those of us without innate design skills and a budget to hire a designer for each button we want, preset color schemes are

Thanks for the tip. Even if I never use it anymore, <i> still means italic to me. The thought of using it for icons breaks 15 years of ingrained habit.

Are you talking about the transitions? If so, they're still included. I think it's just grayed on the plug-ins list because it's required for all the other plug-ins. If you download the full repository ( http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

The key point is that Silicon Valley has changed from a hardware hub to a software hub. This isn't about programmers who haven't kept their skills relevant. It's more about hardware design engineers and manufacturing personnel whose jobs ha
