For a trivial but high-visibility example, the very first two paragraphs of the document have "orphaned" words on the last line--a big typographical no-no. In the first paragraph, the orphaned word is "of". If there&#x27

Excellent post, but I don't know why you linked to that cheesy video for the Timbuk3 song. The actual "official" music video can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrriKcwvlY ( http://fixy

More colors seems like the obvious way to increase the difficulty as the user levels-up. With only four colors, random play is quite likely to get a match--the odds of a randomly selected tile matching a given tile is going to be 1 in 4. F

What would happen if you put the camera closer to the outer part of the wheel, rather than nearly centered on the hub? Could Horizon still create a stable-ish video out of that (where the position and rotation of the image are both changing

Spot on. Also, introverted != shy. I've known plenty of introverts who are very capable of working a room if they need to, they just prefer not to.

I can't say I'm particularly plugged-in to the DC-area startup scene, but there seem to be some fairly localized pockets of activity (in the Herdon VA area, parts of the District, Silver Spring MD, etc.) If you are interested in l

To be honest, I have no idea. User shabble has some ideas (in a sibling comment to this one), but reading that gives me the impression that this is a little bit of a theoretical concept. It's not. It's very widely practiced, with

Nor do I. I'm just pointing out that the antibiotics aren't strictly being used for disease-prevention (hence better hygiene alone might not eliminate their use).

The function of antibiotics in agriculture isn't to prevent infection (or at least, not primarily to prevent infection) but to fatten the animals up for slaughter.

It's interesting how some of these (Facebook, for example) are so immediately recognizable. I don't even use Facebook but I immediately recognized the "Facebook blue" thanks to (I suppose) those ubiquitous Like buttons.

I can understand your angst, but at the end of the day you have two choices: keep going or stop. (Note I'm considering "pivot" under "keep going".) Not knowing what your market is, I'm still pretty confident ab

No, what I'm citing is evidence of real world harm done to innocent people as a result of a (well-intentioned) witch hunt on a very popular website. It's crappy journalism on the Post's part, sure. But it wasn't NY Post

I don't see the comparison. TFA isn't about a productivity metric, it's about establishing a habit. Everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Anne Lamott to Pablo Picasso extoll the virtue of making a habit of doing some work--even so

You're probably not the maintainer, but Impromptu's README really should do a better job of explaining what it does and why I'd want to use it. It sounds interesting, or at least I can imagine something interesting based on

It seems kind of impractical to do it any other way. If the maintainer (whether an individual, for-profit company or a not-for-profit foundation like the ASF or FSF) doesn't hold a copyright to all of the contributed code and documenta

Wait, are we talking about be fired (i.e., "for cause") or being laid off? As I understand it one isn't eligible for unemployment (in the US) when it is the former. "No layoffs" is a stronger (and harder) criterion to meet. (My condolenc

While a cute joke, I think the "server" and "data-center" images don't really work at all in the analogy and in the end detract from the overall message. I do wish this image somehow incorporated an analogy for (graphic) design, which is a
