Hey man, there may be a LOT of things going on here, but I can relate. If I don't get my day STARTED by 6am (or so), I see it slipping away from me. Others below have alluded to it…

I really don't see why anyone, including and especially programmers, use mice these days. That is, assuming you have a great (read: Mac) multi-touch pad. If you are in graphic desi…

Rats. I was hoping they would all go away within 5 years. Thought maybe the extra 0 was a typo. Disappointed. How can serious people still be on Facebook more than five years from …

Ugh. Why is everyone excited about yet another online directory? Is it because it is tech conferences and people here are just jazzed by lists of dorky things they can do besides m…

There is no "the US". There is only "we" (if you reading this are a US Citizen). And it doesn't really matter whether if we have a "right". Question is: Do WE go after data if WE t…

Yet another post about "technology improvements" that basically is some company (Github) with an axe to grind that wants to reinvent the wheel but has nothing new to offer. To be m…

Maybe I missed it, but did someone point to the actual site with "millions of visitors and 5 PETABYTES of traffic per month"? Is that right? Don't want to seem harsh, but I don't c…

Totally hilarious. Exaaaaactly. O.M.G.... 25 ways to reach someone, and no one is home. What is wrong with folks? Is this guy desperate for contact? And yet, is there an actual con…

That's true of your name, your address, your DOB, SS, and your phone numbers. Nothing stopped those things from being given out and collated by third parties. Nothing will stop ema…

What? Really? No one but one other uses TextEdit? At least among Mac users? And before that, I used NotePad on Windows. It's notes. It doesn't need to 'sync' to your mobile device …

Madness. If you want black and white dashboards in your office or home, or if you want to mount it vertically and read PDFs, just get a matte HD monitor, and set it up for B&W on y…

It's crazy to think that hackers/developers/etc are using all these cloud-based things with slow interfaces and controlled schemes by third parties. I'm not even a true geek and I …

No, but I do avoid "articles" on Github pages if they still have the format of crankydev.github.com. I don't know why, but they all follow a similar format. I mean, buy a domain na…

Goodness. Seriously? Another notes "app"? Longevity exists in ASCII text (UTF-8 if you must be a Modernist). Portability exists in simple plain text files. Privacy exists in keepin…

I think saving to PDF is overkill and takes up extra storage. Unless it is necessary to save images and charts associated with an article. These days, most images associated with a…

A few people mentioned Python. Me, too. I left PHP (mostly) and can't stand the ascendency of JavaScript for everything under the sun (it's madness right now). I recently chose Pyt…

Well... personally I have to discount your examples of hardware "innovation" since I was talking about software. But on that note, my iPhone isn't that much better than a Palm Pilo…

Surely you all jest. Simple script in Any Real Language to scan your HTML and, if desired by all you JS junkies, your JS and compare your CSS to each page and spit out report by fr…

As well noted, Glassdoor and other places already do this. Why do software developers feel compelled to constantly "invent" things we already have plenty of. Do something unique, o…

That means you were 'bought' into thinking it was a good idea by a mere $10,000. Maybe you should have actually been paid $30k more all along - and still.

I almost want to answer this as a more broad approach: X is falling apart - alternatives? And the answer is: If X is free, expect it to fall apart. Why would anyone host your conte…

Not sure why what app being used is relevant. Plain text is all we need to write anything like this. You could use Markdown if you must (and must you?), but whether you use VIM or …

A few thoughts: 1. This sounds and smells like 'bait'. The reason it isn't being upvoted is because people question the motive of the OP who hasn't explained why he wants to toss o…

Well, first let's not associate your 'depression' with 'work'. Sure, work can suck. Losing jobs and running through a cycle of them in a short amount of time can be sucky, too. I'v…

I use a MacBook Air 11". Say what you will, but here was my thinking: 1. The whole point of a laptop is portability (but not to the excess of a device that doesn't sit on a table w…
