+1, or better yet, an on-hover for the footnote anchor which shows the actual footnote. Either way, I hate scrolling back and forth for context.

You don't need to buy or sell from just other Coinbase users. It can be anyone. Coinbase doesn't have a huge market share yet, so it's even less likely. I think a fair way to read it is that $1M worth of transactions occurred of which Coinb

Thank you for taking the time to write these translations. In fact, I'm going to bookmark this thread and use it as a reference in the future. I feel these examples serve more as a selling point for why one would use something like `replace

Why do we play videogames? Why do we create art? Why do we eat tasty unhealthy foods? Why do we go on hikes or climb rocks? Why do we write posts complaining about other people not saving the world? We do things we enjoy, things we're passi

Perhaps a coincidence, but the choice of date—the anniversary of his arrest—feels rather convincing. "Since his arresting the early morning of January 11, 2011 — two years to the day before Aaron Swartz ended his life..." http://lessig.tum

Not sure what this is since it's down (500 error), but based off the name it sounds a lot like http://gist.io/ (which I really like).

In addition to the other links in this thread, Fernando's PyCon.ca keynote's has a great introduction to the power of IPython and how it's revolutionizing the scientific (and soon the general developer) communities. https://www.youtube.com

Great improvements, love the search. Still wishing I could get Gist pull requests or merge forks of my Gist from the UI.

Everyone is piling on the "stop trying to feature-creep Stripe!" wagon but there is at least one reasonable suggestion in this post: A per-user fee tacked onto an existing plan. > In total there are 4 different tax rates and then no ta

I was one of those people who spent ridiculous number of hours in Skyrim, but that's a rare and far-between luxury. For every one great game like Skyrim, I pay for a dozen mediocre games that I play for maybe an hour or two. The amount of t

Indeed, I have a Pi and I've done it, but the hassle is nuking it with a clean slate, packaging it up, shipping it. Also ordering another Pi to replace the one I ship. :P

I love this idea as a consumer. Just using it for an international VPN alone would be super worth it. The biggest factor is the effort of setting up the OS on my Raspberry Pi, packaging it, and shipping it. If I could prepay say... $50-100

Really simple and effective example, thank you for sharing! I wonder how much of it has to do with the objective "quality" of the design versus the effect on the audience's psychology of connecting "real life" (vacation rentals) to an app t

That's the huge advantage of distros without discrete upgrade paths. I have the same Gentoo install on my desktop since I built it in 2008. Meanwhile I tried Ubuntu on my laptop for a couple of years and every time a new version came out, I

Maybe I was unclear but I'm not asking to educate people about PaaS. I'm proposing a button like [Create OStatus server]. It goes and provisions you a Heroku or DotCloud or Amazon account, creates an instance with everything installed, you

I suspect the necessity of the PHP path may be outdated. Today, I imagine the lowest barrier to entry would be to build a one-button install on one of the many PaaS's with free tiers. Heroku, DotCloud, maybe even an Amazon micro EC2 instanc

Lots of mattresses are rated +4.5 with 550 reviews but when you go read the reviews, there's a ton of 1/5 reviews saying "the memory foam lost its memory after a couple of months." For example: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Comfort-
