Just add some javascript to load the time from a different server after the cached version is rendered. Build a simple service in node.js, ruby or java to return a json datetime, use that as the endpoint to load the time from. This is not r

Apparently Fujimoto really liked sushi. Combine that with the fact that living in Japan, you're going to be able to eat sushi at some point in your life, it was only a matter of time until he found out he really liked sushi and wanted to be

No it's not, that just moves the difficulty from merchant to client. Actually getting bitcoins is not easy, takes a long time, etc. It adds friction, support overhead, risk, latency, for very little pay-off. We're talking about subscription

Then you're not the target market. If you have no credit card, it's very, very hard as a global website (i.e. not localized to the Netherlands) to accept money from you. So if that's the case, then they don't even want you as a customer, be

This is quite interesting. I've worked on a number of legacy apps that have been using old versions of Rails, and were a pain to upgrade to the latest version of even just Rails 2. They were so big that upgrading to Rails 3 would've require

I'm not so sure it'll be a success. The price point of $9 for 9 pictures is very high. It's understandably so considering the effort involved, but as a pure value-for-money trade I feel it's too high. A lot of of their targetmarket will pro

Awesome, I've had a lot of trouble getting stacked icons to work on my own (e.g. putting a filled disk below an icon has a lot of uses). Great feature! The spinning icon still makes Chrome max out the GPU on the retina macbook though. One i

That's awesome. I recently tried to get into MacRuby development, but there's a serious dearth out there of resources (for the beginner), and I had to guess on how to do a lot of things. Hopefully the RubyMotion support will be better!

Nice read Bemmu. Are you going to develop something for the Rift?

I really like the general out-of-bound work feature, however I have a hard time imagining a use-case that is not garbage-collection, and that wouldn't be better solved by having a background worker process. Can anyone suggest some situation

Trevor, after reading this article I wanted to subscribe to your list because it was interesting, and you sold the future content well. Apparently I was already subscribed from a previous article which I liked as well, so consider this a hu

It's definitely one of the selling points. Op should make it a bigger button and put it front and center.

So other than the link snafu (maybe quickly code something up to redirect /##### to / in javascript), this seems pretty cool. I clicked "What's around me?" and immediately I liked the feedback "locating...", felt really snappy for some reas

That's very true. I appreciate your comment because it shows the situation in another light completely. You're quite right, and logically this is also what I should think, however it just, I don't know, feels bad. Irrationally, it feels shi

I've done this. Had a pull request from a contributor that added a feature, but in return changed the API of my library almost completely, didn't account for many, many edge cases and had a couple of bugs. When I was done I had rewritten it

I once submitted a pull request to add a feature to a popular OSS library. It got several "thumbs up", was actually useful, didn't change the API and had test coverage. I put a lot of time into making it nice and clean, in my opinion a perf

At an hourly rate of $120, thinking 10 minutes about saving RAM costs my client $20. With that money he could've bought 1GB extra RAM. I'm sure 99.999% of the times the saved RAM, would be less than 1GB. It's a simple cost/benefit equation.

Because if it was password protected the thief would just reformat the laptop and there's no chance of recovery. Allowing them to use the PC allows the software to phone home. The "similar service" is really only the Find My Mac thing. Thes

I think the promise is in the future. Right now electric cars might not be as eco-friendly as you'd expect, but once they've become popular, recycling techniques for the batteries will improve, and we can easily switch the generator of the

You might already know this, but Chrome automatically selects hyperlinked text when you right-click it. You're not able to select a part of it, but if you want to copy just the text, all of it, you can right-click any link, and then choose

No need to be patronizing, I wasn't asking from a negative standpoint, I was merely curious how current non-digital modding insurance claims work.

If you're modifying the software, such that in certain edge cases your battery overheats and explodes, or the brakes stop working, does it still make sense to rely on road approval to deem a car road-worthy, and get appropriate insurance? S
