Gluten free hasn't really hit Europe in the same way so I was really amazed when I tried a gluten free pizza for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Eating half a pizza and not having a dough-baby afterwards was quite a revelation. C

I have one gmail account and 4 different google apps accounts (one so I can have a personalised email that I've had for 15 years, the other 3 are different companies that I'm involved with). I use trello with 3 of those accounts b

Google logins are the absolute worst, now you have to remember which of your accounts you logged in with (like many others here I have 5 active accounts - I really wish they could give me a single identity that would work with all of them).

The ember community has really embraced ES6 modules and now with the introduction of broccoli[1] and the broccoli-es6-transpiler[2] it's really easy to start using modules and the other ES6 features right now. If you're already us

After a 10 minute phone screener I now rely on a paid pair-programming session to identify good candidates. This is what you're going to hire them to do so why waste your time asking questions that at best form a poor approximation of

Wow, this was a bit of a culture shock when I moved to Mexico, in Europe I've never lived in a rental apartment that didn't come with a washing machine (even in my student days). I assumed it was a Mexico thing, amazed to hear it&

I think "hey guys" has come to be accepted as a gender neutral term (from my experience in the UK). Somehow "That guy" however is still gender specific...

Quite a challenge by the sound of it, their solution is to precalculate the resolved constraints for various different screen sizes.

It sounds like you need something else to help you build the dockerfiles then i.e. I need a dockerfile with nginx, postgres and memcached so I use something like puppet/chef to put it together, is that possible?

The problem is that the number of children being diagnosed with ADHD seems dubious(I accept that there's real cases). According to the stats in[1] 20% of boys aged between 14-17 have been diagnosed at some point with ADHD. When you&#x2

People did not evolve to politely sit still all day, the thought of medicating children to comply with our current sedentary habits (which are doing a good job of damaging our health) seems perverse to say the least...

Something I've been wondering about is whether it would be possible to generate a page illustrating all the rules in an scss document(or less). Because scss documents use nesting it should be possible to construct the necessary divs (o

Perhaps the writer could enter the target number of words. You could show a progress bar (with a course granularity of say quarters) then when you're near the target show the word count in real time so that you can fine tune your words

Maybe OUYA could take care of this automatically, just freeze the game after the time limit had been hit. The developer could just specify how long they want the trial to be.

The idea seems to be that they're teaching children to maths in their head rather than needing a piece of paper to work it out. The example is extremely odd though, I can't imagine why you would go through that process in your hea
