I've owned every Kindle (except the DX) and while the Paperwhite is my favorite, I really wish they would remove the touch screen page turning and add the physical buttons on the side. The touch screen works great for searching Amazon

I read the whole "Repercussions" section as from the point-of-view of a government official. The repercussions are that they start mandating and regulating - developers/companies probably don't want this, but that could

If you plan to use the best-of-breed Android testing tools (namely Robolectric), Android Studio is not ready for serious use. Eclipse is not great, but at least everything works. I am optimist about the future of Android Studio (and the swi

I find that one of the causes for wildly different levels of code review (and value derived from them) is a lack of training. There is a real lack of materials for explaining how to do a code review, how to do deal with the human aspect of

Not everyone works in a San Francisco-based start up that employees 90% technical folks. Perhaps people are just interested in a low-effort conversation item so they can interact with co-workers, neighbors, and a different social circle? So

The biggest aspect of Fantasy Football is the draft - where you select your players before the start of the season. So the area where you could apply some actual hacking is the projection/simulation of player performance to come up wit

Sure - with friends it's fine. With strangers and coworkers, I'd just be careful :) The OP was about office leagues so I erred on the side of caution!

Hi - I wrote the docs for this. It is a really awesome feature, but be aware that it is targeted at Jekyll 1.3 - which is not quite released yet ( https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/issues?milestone=14&state=...

This is super offtopic, but it thought it was awesome: on the ActionBar in the PushBullet android app, the pullout drawer icon makes it look like the bullet (your logo) is being shot across the screen (like "action lines"). It mad

I wasn't kidding about taking an hour either - go do it and write up your accomplishments on a blog, even if you are the only reader (though I'd love to read it!). I've done it myself for the past two years and it always help

I think you misunderstood the problem statement. The hash is keyed by the URL and the value is the body of the HTML page. The input to `search` is a term, so you would need to check all of the items to see which one contained the term in th
