This is really handy. As I do more management (yuck) I find myself having to put together reams of commented screenshots all the time. My process for this is piecemeal - but this would definitely help. Thanks! A few suggestions: 1. HTML, Go

Except you won't know if your server ever sent it to Mandrill. :) Always be extremely verbose with logging!

I think the situation is way simpler than the author contends. Smalltalk simply has poor workflow from the programmers perspective, compared to what he's used to. It may be awesome. But no one will ever know, because it's too diff

Keep me in the loop as you work on your project. I think the world has a lot to learn from array languages, and there still isn't a strong open source option. Contact info in profile.

Can't he be sane while also enjoying his money? Let's face it: Notch's story is a dramatic and exciting example of someone coming out of the blue to do really well for himself and create something a ton of people are gaga abo

Check out Q from Kx Systems. It uses an SQL-like dialect but is still powerful and expressive. Here are some simple example programs: http://code.kx.com/wiki/Sample_Queries

I haven't seen a great data-driven review of the different smartphone cameras and accessory lenses, but there have been some attempts. Seems like the Schneider and ALPA are best (but pricey), with Olloclip coming in as a decent cheap c

Looks like iMessage for Mac stores the messages it receives in an SQLite database. This app simply reads and queries that database. See here: https://github.com/nicola/node-imessage/blob/master/index.js..

Some pretty clear bird photos aren't working either; I guess it has to be a close up, which kind of ruins the usefulness for me. http://rideintobirdland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Littl...

I agree. Using rich data structures that you can manipulate instantly is awesome. And usually your language will have superior query and manipulation abilities, without the mental gymnastics of adapting your algorithm to the underlying data

I heard a rumor that the FaceTime open spec never happened due to complicated patent issues, possibly related to this one: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20236114 All of this is a damn shame because in my experienc

That's a tough question. In my case, it's just a bunch of gut-feeling leaps. It's impossible to predict in advance exactly how taxing an app can be to a system, but you do have some things you can look at analytically: estima

It would be great if you could pay an additional $10 and get a video confirmation of the destruction (they could start with a closeup zoom on the serial number).

I've done something a bit similar on Lump.co, but I'm using Workflowy as a CMS there instead of Google Docs. I basically shove whatever random lists of things I need to manage into a shared Workflowy list and then point some serve

Really excited and surprised by this announcement. Anyone know the provenance of this language? Who built it, what are its intellectual roots?

I'd love to know the nuts and bolts details of how they do it. I dug up some paid blog posts[1], but the links are rel=nofollow, so it doesn't seem like a link spam thing. Anyone know any more details about their success in this a

I know everyone has their reservations about Microsoft and their developer ecosystem, but WinJS really is a delight to use, at least in my limited experience. A WinJS app is really just a zip of a bunch of JS (using WinJS's nice APIs f

I agree with everyone else: you should quit. However.. I think there may be an opportunity for personal growth here. Though it's probably too late to fix this situation, you can be prepared for the next time. Put yourself in his shoes.

Does anyone know what service WhatsApp used for SMS delivery for phone number verification? I wish I could get text messages into all parts of the world like they do.

Wow, great questions! Lump is a visual search engine, so we conform to the same basic copyright and ownership rights respect that other image search engines do. 1. Credits: Each image is linked to its referring site. You'll also find t

This is my little side project Lump.co. It's like Pinterest, but you build the gallery by searching the web for photos, rather than having to download photos, collect them, and then reupload to Pinterest. It's quick as heck, works

What a great and simple idea. Make it an API, please, and don't forget the history function so I can see how text evolves over time.

Has any work been done on identifying the browsers connection speed so that we may serve high quality vs. low quality assets? The only thing I've been able to find for this is the MaxMind GeoIP Netspeed database, but I have no idea if

I had never thought about using the git push/pull model for anything but code and data. Could git, tunneled over ssh, build the decentralized web that we're all bandying about?

I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll repeat it here as a valuable data point. In early January my Surface Pro keyboard died so I went in to buy the new Type Cover. They were sold out in all Microsoft and Best Buy stores in Sout
