Pills are easy... Aside from a 30 minute visit to the doc. Addressing the root cause typically requires working with others over a period of time... and that work is oftentimes what people with depression want to avoid.

The tech sounds pretty neat to me [privacy concerns put aside]. Maybe this tech is only enabled if your streaming a new release... something that was just released to the theaters. Maybe 2 people cost 20$ and 4 people cost $30? All I kno

After calling yourself a "bad developer", I was hoping to find a link to your github so I could judge for myself. I'm not implying my judgement matters; I'm just curious.

I think it's hard for some to show confidence after being rejected a bunch. That may be coming through in the writing because of the recent rejections.

Not true. I'm visiting with Chrome 26.0.1410.65 and clicking outside the box does close it. However, clicking on 'request an invitation' without completing the form does make it do a nice little dance :)

To curtail the length, have you tried using the "parking lot" option? If someone starts to get off on a topic that isn't related to "what i completed yesterday", "what im going to complete today", "any impediments" then raise your hand and

i don't understand what type of work gets done at home when one works for a retail company like best buy. when i think of best buy, i think of people in blue shirts trying to sell me the latest widget. if i think harder, i can imagine peop

i continue to question the "whiteboard coding" experience. on one hand: a dev cannot put their thoughts about a problem set into code on a white board. on the other hand: a dev answers all problems with code on a white board. i find it hard

I bought a fitbit zip for my wife and she's been wearing it daily. We like it better than the runkeeper on the phone bc there are many times during the day when the phone is not "on your person". For example, getting up to go to the printe

I would suggest you start with analytics and testing. This way you can test everything and use GA (or whatever) to gain insight into your app/sites usage. If you wanna really geek out, try to learn HTML+CSS and build some mocks. Logs? Aft

I feel one would benefit from learning the few simple commands of git versus this abstraction. once this abstraction leaks (and it will), one will be forced to the git docs anyways. my $0.02

have you tried pressing the "spam" button? I find that most of these "newsletters" stop arriving in my inbox after I do that (with my gmail account).

i dont understand how a video game can cause a mass shooting. is there some undocumented feature of the disc? or the case the games is sold inside? ultimately, guns are the only things which can shoot.

I would buy movies on iTunes if the prices were more reasonable. US prices are typically $20 to buy and $5 to rent. I would buy movies if they were $5. To rent, the price would need to be closer to $0.99.

using the metro interface was totally annoying for me. i disabled it immediately and the rest of the experience was ok. fortunately my iMac doesn't force me to use the same UI as my iPhone, or I would be disabling that too. but then again
