Please never use my software. > Because it has no benefit for you, only for the company. Really?! Making a tool you use every day better has no benefit for you? Sure, I can build my own text editor if I really wanted to, but I'd rat

Cool concept, but does it work with GitHub 2-factor authentication? (cursory testing says no; anyone else get in?)

It's less to do with hiding data from the public and more along the lines of controlling the data so that no one in the company gets it before the public (and thus allowing said person inside the company to trade company stock on insid

Seconded. The company I used to work for had stories of a gong on the sales floor that would sound when someone made a sale. Once they were publicly listed, though, the gong went away, since anyone on the floor would have an idea of sales f

That's an excellent point. The ceiling on those revenues, though, is still Amazon. It's a matter of the office assistant going to the online Staples/Office Depot/Max catalog or going to Amazon; there's not much of a

The weirdest thing to me is they JUST finished the merger between Office Depot and Office Max last year.

If you're referring to Desk quoting Gruber on their home page, they quoted from Gruber's "thank you" post which, while it borrows a lot from the original sponsor-written post, is still written by Gruber himself.

From the article: "Travelling by plane can be a long and grueling process under the best of circumstances. This makes it a good time for monotonous tasks, like trying to iron out some vocab for a language you're learning at colleg

You can also look up the runs from years past on YouTube; great way to lose a few hours. Last year's Super Mario World exploit can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioQmbEoYL0M

That's fair. By "do-gooders" I was referring to rude people that make it their business to point out all of your problems. Their motivation is not to "do good," it's to be right, and I totally understand not wa

Out of curiosity, what's the harm in accepting the pull request after someone's already done the work ? Edit: I get not wanting unsolicited input from "do-gooders," but if someone on the project made such a change, wo

I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. You don't want "money-driven people" in the sense that all they care about is doing the least amount of work required to get paid. You want people that are "games-driven&qu

Not looking for dirt or anything, but why the fork? What makes this different from Node? (Only clue so far is the "open governance model"; is that in contrast to Joyent maintaining Node?) EDIT: Based on their CONTRIBUTING.md page[

As a born-and-raised-and-still-living-here South Carolinian, it's always nice to see "positive" coverage of my state. Speaking to the article itself, I can't imagine having gone through one of these instead of college; I

Agreed. I'm on a low-data-plus-throttling plan on AT&T's prepaid subsidiary Cricket. I was on their lowest-tier 200MB plan for $15, and if I went over by even 1KB, I was "conveniently" given another 200MB for $15, ef

The investors have to have some way to convert their ownership in the company into liquid assets at some point. Either that's on the open market through an IPO, by another company through an aquisition, or maybe Ello can have enough ca

With the amount of custom chips they needed for the display, it wouldn't surprise me if there are issues getting it to work as an external display that they haven't solved yet.

I was disappointed too, but it was basically "screw off" money. At face value, it doesn't seem like the developer needed to do anything, but I could see it being something along the line of "here's what I've do

I'm not sure about the overdraft charges, but they did require the default for debit cards to "deny" a charge if it would result in an overdraft. So I won't overdraft my account by accident if, for example, I try to buy

Square tried it. It (sadly) never caught on. I know I'm being dismissive, but the title of the article is equally dismissive.

I think traditionally Apple has disallowed IAP for real-world goods. I'm assuming Apple Pay will be for those real-world goods while IAP is still used for digital goods.

I'll second this. Bias and prejudice are an unavoidable part of human nature. I wish that wasn't the case, but it's the reality we live in. The most ANY of us can do is 1) Recognize our biases and work to look past them, and

Having a 128GB Air, it would be nice if the client could do selective sync but also sync to more than one volume. I keep my iTunes stuff on a separate drive, but that's one of the first things I would want to sync with 1TB of space.

Excellent proof-of-concept. I want to say Nintendo had a patent that implied something like this for the Wii Virtual Console, but they never delivered on it. Anyone have any idea if Christian Whitehead's Retro Engine[1] (used in the re

Thanks for this. I do need to remind myself about victories, even small ones. Especially when it comes time for annual performance reviews. :D

Same here; I would lose eligibility for several (all?) of my scholarships by taking a year off, without which I could not have attended the college I went to (or maybe any college).
