While there may be much debate regarding who should receive them I don't think anyone in the UK is arguing that we should get rid of social benefits.

As a developer who's taking an increasing interest in the design of the products I work on I'd love to read some of the material you'd be exposed to in a proper design education. What are the bibles of design that students are generally exp

I've never found a way to fine tune the letter-spacing using css, the smallest unit seems to be 0.07em which is usually too much. Would love to know how to do it if it's possible.

Yeah that's a bit like not allowing mobile phones because they can detonate bombs.

The problem seems to be that projects just lapse, the owner's stop paying attention and the number of forks starts to pile up. Perhaps when the number of forks hits a certain point everyone that has a fork should receive an email asking if

Very nice job, manual cutups are definitely a bit of a chore and having the assets update automatically is sweet. I take it you have to save the assets again after an update in photoshop though? If that is the case maybe you could serve the

That's a nice bit of marketing by Elon, changing the conversation from auto-drive to autopilot. Kinda shows how clueless google is about it's own marketing.

I certainly agree with what you're saying about the feedback loops, as long as you're able to manipulate the loop into healthier behaviour then it doesn't really matter where in the loop you intervene. My issue with pharmaceuticals is that

Thought is a dynamic and emergent property of the system, the combination of physiological state and stimulus. Perhaps a better way to phrase my original question would be: if the brain is a chaotic system, how do you distinguish between th

How do you distinguish between the physiological causes and symptons? Given that it's possible for different thought patterns to produce different physiological effects how can you ever be sure whether physiological state is the cause or ef

Could you use twitter to grab some reviews? You wouldn't need to do it ongoing but it might be a good way to get to a critical mass of reviews.

Maybe it's because I use a browser all day but I actually prefer the consistent forward/backward cycling behaviour (with command-shift-` for back).

This seems a far more obvious way to code the extensible case: def fizzbuzz(max) (1..max).each do |n| labels = [] labels << "fizz" if n % 3 == 0 labels << "buzz" if n % 5 == 0 lab

Really good to see the testing experience get some attention. An area that has caught me out many times has been when my naming hasn't quite matched the conventions. Because ember provides default implementations at runtime you don't know i

I think meetup.com fills this role fairly well at the moment. There's definitely room for improvement but if you're looking for a group of people that want to play some tennis, go climbing etc. then it's a pretty good bet.

Wow that video would have made my life a lot easier 2 weeks back when I was learning the new router. I didn't know about linkTo either, very good to know about. Something that I'm having real trouble with is working out how to create bindin

Would be great if mouseover froze the lane underneath. For bonus points you could continue to load new tweets but add them above the screen.

There is another option, keep them in Guantanamo but improve conditions to at least normal prison standards in the US. I can't believe that would be more expensive than maintaining their current regime.

Yeah, poor choice of words on my part, I should have said: Businesses _survive_ because they're the most efficient way to solve the needs of a group of people.

Man this rings so true with me. Emberjs has so much promise but it is just so frustrating to work with. Every time I turn my head something fundamental seems to have changed (the router and now dependency injection). It does always seem lik

The culture of protecting existing businesses is becoming infuriating to read about. Businesses are there because they're the most efficient way to solve the needs of a group of people. If circumstances change and a better solution presents

Yeah, my first thought was, no one I know has ever used foursquare, after so long without significant traction why would anyone want to pump it up? Having said that, there's a huge opportunity for someone that can become search for the real

I've done a few rewrites, in all cases they were projects that were written entirely by junior developers (company took a while to learn the costs of cheap developers) and with absolutely no tests whatsoever. If you're rewriting a project t

Normally I would agree with you that software should be intuitive with a minimum of learning. However git is only used by expert users, people who use it all day every day. There's no doubt that git has a bit of a steep learning curve but t

I haven't played games in a long time but when I did magazines would give away discs with demos of games that had just been released. Is it possible to try games before you buy, on steam for example, or do you have to jump in and buy the ga
