This could be the beginning of the end for Google. As soon as they start pandering to advertisers instead of users, things are all downhill. People want to find file sharing sites,…

Tested on Chrome only. For a hackathon project, I think thats OK.

A lack of cited sources in an article doesn't necessarily imply that its false.

If thats all it took to improve your productivity, you can't have been very proficient with whatever it was you were using before.

His argument is that Python beginners won't be familiar with slice syntax, and if they encounter it in someone else's code they won't understand.

Prehaps entrepreneurs should stop reading and start doing. Some things are just impossible to learn from a book, and even the things that can be learned from a book can be learned …

OK, I can potentially see where vi(m)'s rectangluar selection would be good for editing config files and such, but I'm pretty sure all modern editors have rectangular selection any…

Why do you have the same 10 characters on 10 consecutive lines? Sounds like that is probably a violation of DRY, at least it always has been when I encountered something like that.…

Something thats been on my list of potential project ideas for a long time is a suite of tools built for distributed teams. From this article, I am now convinced that this problem …

So you are in favor of technology that takes control away from drivers as long as it works? Perhaps we are actually on the same page here...

It's not the average drivers that need help, its the bad drivers. The ones who roll through a red light turning right, but look left the entire time, which is a very common way for…

I'm afraid this is whats going to prevent adoption of more automatic cars. The people who care about cars don't want the features, but its the people who don't care about cars that…

I like the part where he says "if you aren't one of these types, keep calm and carry on." A lot of articles seem to try and classify all startups into 2 or 3 types which is honestl…

That puts the onus on the visually impaired and safety-conscious to protect themselves, and I don't think thats something you want to do.
