   Quick word of advice: shell out the cash for a better web design. The text looks awful and blurry on Windows 7 -- you have a great idea marred by poor presentation.

   GitHub pages is great, but you'll probably want some time to play around with Jekyll. You can always use a hosted platform like Wordpress.com and switch off when you have more free time. Consider using Disqus for comments and Google An

   I would strongly, strongly recommend learning Rails first. The Rails MVC paradigm will transfer over to Python and PHP frameworks, and the backend experience will push you into the full-stack developer territory. Angular has a lot of idioms

   Neat idea. Can you plug this into setlist.fm, last.fm, and maybe SongKick to get some more data on each show?

    I'd be really interested to see this in Boston as well. I can walk to grocery stores easily, but for heavy/bulk items like drinks and chips, I'd much rather pay to have them delivered. I already have iced tea delivered from A

    Yeah, mine started showing up at the 2-2.5 year mark. Not sure how often Apple charges for these replacements, but GPUs shouldn't be failing after just a year or two..

    I had issues with my 2010's GPU -- a random kernel panic once a week. Apple's diagnostic tool determined that the GPU was failing, and they replaced it under AppleCare with no problem. Bummer that its happening in more than one mo

    $60 an hour is not particularly expensive for a good contract programmer. Salaried, that would equate to a very good rate, but nothing extraordinary.

    With each new URL you could store the previous ID and use that to build out a chain. It might be fairly expensive to do that dynamically, but there's no reason you couldn't serialize all of the previous IDs in a single column. IMH

    Cost of living varies greatly around the US. In Boston, $7 for a "good" lunch is pretty average, and can easily reach $10-12 if you aren't careful. If you shop anywhere except Whole Foods and cook everything yourself, $7 a da

    My favorite easymode lunch when I was telecommuting was Triscuits and sharp cheddar. ~$8 (at Whole Foods, figure half that price if you're thrifty) will yield atleast four decent lunches, each with a good mix of carbs, fat, fiber, and

    There's a burrito chain in the northeast US called Boloco, and while their prices seem pretty arbitrary, all of the post tax prices are always whole dollar amounts. It's the only place I know of in Boston that does that.

    Here's a really bad, but feasible idea: create a git repo with a folder for each category, and make each starred repo a submodule under a given folder.

    I do this for three or four shows, and it's great being able to go back and re-watch entire seasons on a whim. I don't use Amazon Prime Video much since I usually go to Netflix first, but I rarely feel like I'm overpaying or
