It's not the study you describe, but there's already a lot of research to support the thesis that eating fewer calories (and fewer calories alone) than your body burns leads to weight loss and better health: http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/2

Seriously? $39 is a great deal for learning something so absolutely fundamental to working on the web. A good theme from themeforest will run you $10-$30. If you stick 100% to the theme you'll look generic (also true with twitter bootstrap)

Hey! I bought Woody Landing for a project I'm launching soon. It's a nice one. Another good resource for learning design is the eBook: http://bootstrappingdesign.com/

The art class demo would be even better if the glasses took a photo of the still life, applied a few artistic filters, and projected the line art to be traced onto the blank page.

My degree is in History. I also took a lot of math and computer science courses: all but one of my math courses was taught by a grad student. All but a few of my history courses were taught by grad students. Since I transferred in I never a

I absolutely agree. I attended College of the Albemarle for two years before transferring into UNC-Chapel Hill. The teaching quality at COA was astoundingly much higher at COA than at UNC. At UNC most of my classes, even at the higher level

I switched back to Firefox from Chrome after two years because of pentadactyl. vim bindings and a command mode for my browser? Yes please. Unfortunately pentadactyl proved to be not quite stable enough. Commands would intermittently fail an

That explains why they still support IE6, but not why they developed IE7 through 9.

I'm sure that GP is referring to point number 2 of the article -- which explicitly says that time should (or at least could) just be data with no associated methods. I winced at the naïveté in that section myself. It sure seems like he's ar

That's the thing right? With PHP you need a server or you can't do anything. With Django, Sinatra, Rails, Flask, (Node?, Meteor?) you have all that for development as part of the application. To deploy you just push to a free heroku instanc

Disclaimer: I'm a Rails programmer for work and hobby. Interested in learning something that isn't PHP to code your web applications in? Ok. You have a ton of options and this is a very exciting time to be a web developer. Do you want to le

It's strange. Usually Apple comes in and creates the definitive version of a product combining all the best of what was there already and some new concepts that seem simple and obvious in retrospect. For their podcast app to come out and ju

A senior engineer that has spent 5 years coding Big Table at Google would certainly (if genuinely interested in being hired) be able to take a day and throw up some code on github. Not Big Table code of course, just some interesting code ex

Yes, CtrlP is faster and easier to install because it's just a vimscript. It also supports all of Command-T's functionality, so it's pretty much just great.

Thanks to that blog post I am convinced that ST2 is a better editor than Eclipse. I'd really like to see a similar list for someone switching from vim though.

Absolutely: Heroku gives away free instances. http://www.heroku.com/ Rather than learn the basics of FTP kids today learn the basics of git deployment.

If you like this you should already be subscribed to Destroy All Software: outstanding value for the dollar. I actually prefer Gary's "git r" and "git l" to this. If you really want to skip on the awesomeness that is DAS, he has his dotfile

We have this now with services like heroku and Google App engine. Heroku is probably the easiest to get started with and is generously free (you can run actual sites from that free instance). At work when we were mentoring a boss's nephew w

I did try Haxe, back in 2010 when I used it to write a silly little domino trail. It was fine for what it does, but I wasn't particularly impressed. It was interesting to be able to write code in one language then compile it to other destin

That's actually out of date. Magnatune got all the music together for an album (with a great cover) they released later that year: http://magnatune.com/artists/braid Edit: it was actually released in 2009, not 2008.
