Thanks! :D That's a really good suggestion. The live demo was a bit of an after thought on my part. I bought the design from Theme Forest, customized it, and launched it in a few days, then realized it would be good to see the tool in actio

My startup[1] is built on .NET (MVC 3). As I noted in a blog article [2], it's certainly reasonable to use .NET if you meet the same guidelines, and it sounds like your co-founder does. I would, however, encourage you to use .NET MVC instea

It makes a lot more sense to contact the organization before you start conducting potentially-dangerous experiments.

Very good find! Thank you for sharing. I bought my theme from Theme Forest and it has this vulnerability. If you have a theme that you've purchased and contains this file, it would be helpful to post this on the theme's support forum.

Sorry Brian, but it was my first reaction as well. I showed a friend the pic and asked "what do you think of this person?" and she said "he's evil and creepy" :( If it were me, I would just take a quick snapshot right now and replace that p

Sure. I was merely giving an entry-level example of a "principled" approach that would handle this situation. So the concern then is the time it takes to converge on an optimal value? Is that even possible? I'm not a content optimization ex

Could be a cool idea. I like the column-removal tool you have up there. Need to reach a critical mass then you can become the imgur for tools. Keep building out the examples and tutorials, and keep driving traffic. Maybe have a blog with re

Learn something new every day. :) Still, in common usage, I would say it's implied that "average" is the arithmetic mean. I guess I technically never said that they're wrong to use the two interchangeably, just that it "worries me."

These stats are outrageous and the presentation is misleading: 1) Please do not go thinking that $7.5B in VC deals * 46% are seed/series A = ~$3.2B in seed money. The bulk of that money is skewed upward to the other 54%. If we assume the av

Generally, no. There is usually a meal plan you purchase per-semester. Then on the weekends only a limited collection of dining halls are open, so most students either order in or go out to eat.

Their research is certainly cool and novel. On the surface, this is a straight-forward application of genetic programming (evolving abstract syntax trees): 1. Take function which fails some test case(s) 2. Parse AST 3. Find a bunch of other

Cool idea and nice looking site! I think the reason why Github is a better model than reddit is because of the developer-centric model of Github. I use Github because it's how I manage my own code-- it's first and foremost about me. The soc

Sure, it would be ideal to have a webcam mounted right on top of Pike's peak, but I think that's not required. I'm sure somewhere like the Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs has a sufficiently awesome view of the Rocky Mountains, though. :

So, compared to a service like AppHarbor [1], what advantages does this offer? AppHarbor is free for a micro instance, comes with tons of add-ons, and has excellent git integration. [1] http://appharbor.com

My vitamins. I know my diet is awful due to low budget and time, but I try to counter that by taking daily multi-vitamins. Unfortunately, I get into streaks where I just forget them.
