I agree. It's a real pain to have to search up each app to see even just a single screenshot. In my experience, some of the app descriptions can be quite cryptic or vague, not really giving enough detail to be sure that a given app doe

Pairing this with undotree[1] is really handy, as it allows you to see your full edit history, branches and all, and jump back and forth. [1] https://github.com/mbbill/undotree

I'm 24, so maybe a little old, but I was first introduce to programming with Game Maker. Later I did a little bit of Flash if you count that, and then moved onto Visual Basic.NET when I did 'Software Development' at high sch

Looks like a good alternative if you can't get root. It uses VPN to blackhole requests. If you have root, I'd use AdAway[0] which changes the hosts file directly. [0] https://f-droid.org/packages/org.adaway&#x

In my experience, employees seem to have an uncanny ability to annoy me when I just want to browse, and avoid me when I want their help. Out of the last 5 times I've gone into a store hoping to get some help and advice from an employee

I'm so happy to hear it's not just me. When I first started listening to Spotify (about a year and a half ago), I found the dicovery really high-quality, but it just seems to have gotten worse and worse. Discover Weekly is particu

I think there are a handful of other reasons to persue a side-project-after-work, but mostly they'll be highly self-motivated and individualistic. That's not a bad thing; it may just mean that it's not going to be something y

Just out of interest, do you think this applies when (re-)negotiating your salary as well?

This also raises an interesting point that I hadn't properly considered before: an open-source project doesn't have to be universally applicable to be useful. Anyone that's ever built an open-source demo or example project ha

Wow! This looks so cool. I really want to try this now, just for something trivial. I get the sense that it wouldn't work as well with less than hundreds of pages though...

It's a bit silly, but I love that you can zoom out the circle map to make it more of an overview of your location in the larger context of a city or country even. It's a nice little touch.

As someone living outside America, the thing that makes this seem the most unreal to me is the fact I've never seen it on any TV show. Like, there are plenty of shows about/involving (fictional) police and corruption, looking the

I've been using that app too, but I haven't found the data particularly interesting or meaningful. The other thing I've also been doing that I've found much more fulfilling is writing down a daily highlight at the end of

I can second the advice about the 2nd set of glasses. Last time I upgraded my prescription I asked my optometrist about working in from of a computer all day, and he said "If you can see the screen without wearing any glasses, do that.

Every time something like this is posted, I always think of that video. As ridiculous and played-for-laughs as it is, it's looking more and more accurate (in one form or another) every day.

I 100% agree. I originally learnt Vim because I didn't have any choice. It was the only supported editor at my workplace, so I was thrown in the deep end, using it every day. That kind of situation can foster resentment, but I embraced
