Hands down the best book I have read on money is Your Money or Your Life: http://amzn.com/0143115766 I'm a naturally frugal person, but the book helped me formulate new ways of thinking about money and my relationship

And if you have an Android phone, I created an app for the section of the book about the Daily Dozen foods you should be eating every day. Here is a link if you are interested: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de

I love the thought that "eat more vegetables" constitutes dangerous advice.

I would like to know the ways in which people who already have an Echo use it. I have had one for months now and all I use it for is listening to music while I prepare dinner. Lately, the music has begun to stutter and that irritates me so

But who are we to say where he should apply his abilities? He may be interested in something new and that is where his next best contributions lie.

I know it's been said a million times already, but no way would I use this service after they shut down Reader. Maybe they're just fishing to see how much marketshare they can take away from Evernote? If it's enough they'll keep it and impr

And if you use Firefox, give pentadactyl or vimperator a try.

So do they have a policy of no instant messages or emails? I'd be pretty upset if I was forced to come into work only to continue to communicate with my coworkers through IM and email.

Just yesterday I was able to write a one liner on the command line to analyze my skype usage. I wanted to see if it was making financial sense to keep skype alongside my prepaid wireless plan. You can download your last six months of skype

I was seriously coming here to say the exact same thing. Right now I am a web developer, but I've been dreaming about starting a medium sized aquaponics farm. I'm currently building a system that will use my master bath as a fish tank to le

You must not have much experience being around teenage boys. An improved test for pancreatic cancer is not something normally coming forth from that demographic.

Unfortunately, pentadactyl doesn't seem to work with Firefox 15, so I guess I'll have to stay at 14. I tried both 1.0rc1 and the latest nightly and neither work.

Ah, I hadn't clicked any of the links. I thought you had just linked back to their site. By the way, I like your site. It makes it easy to cut through the cruft that always appears in reddit threads. Do you just grab all responses by the po

Why would scraping their site be illegal?

A couple months ago, reddit started refusing requests from my web scraper. Figured out they started checking the user agent and refusing connections that didn't look like they came from a user's browser. Unless I missed an announcement some

I launched http://justthetops.com . It's a very simple site that remembers the top 10 posts for various subreddits on reddit.com.

by twistedanimator 15y ago
It is very possible and was what I was going to do originally. However, I was worried that there would be thousands of subreddits to scrape, so I decided to just go with the top ones in terms of size. There are also a few that are included

Yeah, why would he publish the guy's face, but blur out his google account info? It smells like an ad to me as well.

The following link is a pretty thorough explanation. Much better than I could do in a few lines. http://www.theinvisibl.com/2009/12/08/chrometabs/

I noticed that they have copied the close tab behavior from Chrome. That's a pleasant surprise I didn't see mentioned in the release notes.

That's exactly what I did when I went to El Salvador last year. It cost me $30 for a routine cleaning as opposed to $150 in the US.

I'm a pretty heavy user of Skype, but I would switch in an instant for that call blocking functionality.

I've been on a little Conway's Game of Life kick for the past couple weeks myself. Such a simple algorithm like this is great for learning a new programming language. I recently started learning python, so I wrote an implementation using th

This is correct. When payroll was missed the first time, we learned that the software consultants we were working with had not been paid in a month. I can only assume at least the same is true for our hardware suppliers.
