Does voice navigation work on iPhone 4? I currently use a telenav app due to them having voice nav. I'm not in a position to upgrade my phone yet, so my girlfriend and I are stuck with the 4 for a bit. I downloaded the app and gave it a tes

Very nice! That color thief library would have made my work a lot easier. Here's the process I did without pasting my embarrassingly hacky code: * Accepted image from user * Quantized the image down to 6 main colors (I forget how I arrived

I do love that feature. I developed something like this a couple years ago for a back office part of a project: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4p5m4719ehvpohc/GUEHcYecYv I don't have a good example of the project any longer, but I took a few

I work for a government funded program that does video streaming and dvds rentals. Our quarterly reports are listed in "hours viewed" as well. Media is a strange land.

I know a kid who passed out and hit his head and became deaf as a result. He now has a CI. I've talked to him a little bit about it and how it sounds. He described it as "tinny." I never thought about asking him about static and what not

This is great. I'm building something exactly like this for internal company usage. We have a few different parts of the site that involve surveys (though I called them dynamic wizards). We occasionally need to tweak the flow so I have v

I was searching for a new car about seven years ago. I talked to a few dealerships but was uncertain exactly what I wanted. I just wanted to shop around a bit and see what was on the market since I hadn't really paid attention to new cars

My girlfriend wants a Winnebago type thing instead of a diamond, presumably so she can go somewhere if I become especially annoying. ;)

I have a current gen Kindle Touch Ad-Supported version. The ads are displayed in two places: 1. When the Kindle is switched off, there is a full screen ad. They're mostly for books (sometimes audio books) or some sort of local special off

This looks great! I'll be checking this out. I've been in the market for something new/different/some kind of change with my freelancing project management.

I was a bit bummed to see so much blatant information leakage after a while. :( Thankfully I finished before that happened. That just ruins the fun.

I took a similar approach. When I found a guess that returned a result that didn't make sense (due to the jitter/business of the server) I kept track of it. At the end, I looped through each of those weird results and hammered them until

You nailed it on the addictive bit. I got home from work around 6pm and started the game. I glanced at the clock after a bit and realized it was almost 2am. Oops!

Thanks for the great game, Stripe guys. There were a lot of fun challenges and I learned quite a few things in the process!

At my company, in addition to having a need to index our own content, we also have a need to index content of a few other partner organizations. Does Swiftype have functionality in place to help out in this scenario? As an example: We are f

Don't forget about income taxes, that'll skew that more toward the 50% mark .

I first encountered this in non-banks at Fry's Electronics over a decade ago. It struck me as odd initially, but I quickly realized how much more efficient it was and began to prefer it -- especially when I ended up stuck behind a 10 minut

You are very much welcome. People like you are the reason that I stuck with it for as long as I did.

I remember when we first started doing windows builds. I had a guy called Herman (I think? I knew him by that name anyway) handle the builds. I didn't always have easy access to a windows machine and it was a pain getting mingw/cygwin goin

People are really strange when it comes to free stuff. A friend of mine decided one day to buy a bunch of donuts and hand them out to some folks waiting in a long line out in the cold. Most people were very thankful or even surprised that s

I mentioned it initially but went back and removed it. I couldn't decide if the stating the project specifically was relevant or not. I often over analyze what I'm posting here for some reason. It was Pidgin, but back when it was called gai

I hate to simply chime in with an "I agree," but that specific image achieved a verbal "Oh, Wow" from me. Awesome.

I love the simple UI. I don't know where you plan on heading with this, but there are a couple things you could probably do with this, as well. As a part of your standard "adding their project to the tracker" process, you could also regist

Good job on the site. I love it. I started noticing a feeling of wanderlust rising within me as I clicked around. Is it just me or is Norway ridiculously beautiful?

Quite true. There are all sorts of pointy and/or hard things around that you don't notice until someone is having a seizure.
