Apologies. I should have been more clearer, totally my bad. As mackwerk pointed out, it's the click-through to the actual gallery at which my comment was aimed, not the blog on which it was announced.

If they'd only had made a "normal" working website. Don't get me wrong, I love JavaScript, but for web applications, not websites.

For me personally, as a developer, the head-downs days were most successful. Having planned uninterrupted time were I know before hand that I will be able to tackle a big chunk of work or focus on a particular hard bug or whatever, was inva

At a startup I worked at previously we introduced head-space and heads-down days. Head space was an experiment where every fortnight, at Friday noon it was tools down and do what ever you want. You were encouraged to go away from the office

Ah, Olivetti. That brings back memories of the M24 my dad bought through his work, I think it was in '88. An 8086 at 8Mhz, 640Kb of RAM (more than enough :) and CGA color graphics (that's a whopping 4 simultaneous colors).

I agree with you in regards to a nanny state. However, the human mind is a complex beast and saying that "People should be allowed to eat whatever they want" isn't really that simple. A lot of people don't eat what they

Very interesting to read, but I can't seem to find a "year" when it was written. The Mental Procrastination has a publicised issue date of 1987, but I guess it was written before then? Both remind me a bit of Jordan Mechner&#

I love this. I'd say it needs two features though; 1. Record your composition and share it through a URL. I imagine that when you click "record" it starts a timer to capture when you play/pause a specific sound. 2. Have

Radio stations use this kind of technology to keep track of the amount commercial content is played which gives then gives them a indication on royalties they need to pay.

I can't remember where I read this, but I really liked the idea that UBI was compared to VC funding. I.e. most startups fail, yet investors still invest in startups because the few that succeed compensate for the ones that fail, making

I have a 2012 model (8GB and Core i7), about 5 years old now, and it's still going strong. I've been thinking of upgrading to a MBP, but, I actually might get another Air again. Maybe? I mostly use it for mobile, web and backend d

How does this compare to the amount of money each of Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple burn every hour? Just the salaries alone must be phenomenal. What's the news here?

Could it be that some of these painters might become the Rembrandts of the future? I mean, in Rembrandt's time, painters painted on commission and their paintings weren't nearly as valuable as they are today. Back then, what they

I agree. I have the 2012 model, bought new in 2013 for cheap. 8 gigs of ram with an i7. I recently had the battery replaced. I has some blemishes on the screen. Every ones in a while I'm looking at upgrading to a Mac Pro, but then agai

It's difficult tell of course, but, could it make a difference to rather than having 4 full-time remote engineers (soon to be 5?) to have 1 great local engineer? Someone who sits next to you all day, someone you can create a bond with,

I've actually seen titles being used in very different way, as a form of currency. You can offer people a lower salary for which in return they get a big inflated title to stick on their Linkedin profile. Loads of people love big title

All cars do this, not just Ferrari's. An increase in salary would be the no. 1 reason people change jobs. Instead, while you have the Ferrari, make use of it.

I thought so as well, so I decided to Google it: QBasic was intended as a replacement for GW-BASIC. It was based on the earlier QuickBASIC 4.5 compiler but without QuickBASIC's compiler and linker elements. So, from this, QBas

How is this game distributed? If I remember correctly, QBasic was bundled with MS-DOS (from v6 onwards I believe) and wasn't able to produce EXE's. QuickBasic was a separate commercial version that was the able to produce .EXE&#x2

Your Vagrantfile is "super" minimal. I like it. You can execute a Shell script when the box is first provisioned. Just add something like this: config.vm.provision :shell, path: "provision.sh" This might help sa

When I first started to use Vagrant I had slowness issues as well. However, through a bit of digging around I figured out that by mounting the shared folder through NFS and to create a swap file, pretty much all slowness issues disappeared.

I use Vagrant+VirtualBox all the time for my development environments. I love Docker too but I find that Docker has a higher barrier of entry and comes with more mental overhead. I find that Docker works really well for production environme
