Assuming the 5100 can handle 2560x1440, I'm guessing it's so benchmarks show higher FPS averages due to the lower resolution.

Seconded! I feel like it's hard to strike up conversations at tech events, especially with most people squirrelled away scarfing down mediocre pizza. Having some open-ended topic-based discussions would be great.

With hourly (as a contractor) your taxes will be more complicated, and you may get stuck with less benefits. Salaried, your income is more predictable, and generally works the same as it would if you were working "normally." It re

It depends. If the company is in SF, they'll either pay you an SF salary, or a salary relative to where you're working from (see Buffer's ad in WhoIsHiring). But more abstractly: don't take a salary you won't be hap

For a naive test, powers of ten work alright. Generally I increase the number requests until it tops out. Lets say your app takes 200ms and you can handle 1000 reqs/sec, you can use that as a baseline to determine whether you need to t

Fastmail has one of the few interfaces that gets infinite scrolling /right/. The outer mailbox div has overflow-y: auto; and the inner div is the combined height of every message in that folder -- my inbox has 11381 messages, and

A little formatting magic in the background would be great. For instance "progressive rock" and "triphop" work, but "progressiverock" "prog rock" and "trip hop" don't.

I agree in theory, but I think that breaking the mold slightly will help it grow past a cool tech demo. I'm mainly comparing this against using SoundCloud directly, or something like turntable.fm. A big feature I like is being able to

Very cool app. Few thoughts: - If a track doesn't start buffering quickly enough, maybe automatically skip it? - Running 'clear' also clears the current track, but it should really be persistent. - This might go against the p

I started learning to code when I was a kid -- not by reading books or plowing through tutorials, but by making websites. I'd build something simple, and then iterate on it, adding features as I felt like it. After a certain point I go

A small point that's usually overlooked: assuming you're on AT&T, there's a ~$35 upgrade fee, $30 for a case, sales tax, and maybe an extra charging cable or other accessory. A $99 phone is more like $200 for the average

The best rebuttal I've heard against posting on Monday morning is that it gives employed job seekers more time to read through and respond to the ads. It doesn't seem like significantly less ads are posted on the weekend, but I&#x

It depends on the company. Technically it does mean you can "reasonably" take off as much time as you want. Realistically, it depends on how much vacation everyone else takes. If you see that most people are taking off 10 days, you'll proba
