"Join our newsletter to receive problems to your inbox" does not sound very fun. You might rephrase that to emphasize some positive outcome. edit: I'm taking my own advice and woul…

Hey, that's pretty great. I didn't get a chance to test it out with another person, but I'm so happy to see WebRTC being used to keep things so simple for users. Also, nice hold mu…

Looks cool! Will remember if I'm ever needing shiny documents. I agree with those who support a one-off transaction option. (For example, I love PlaceIt and don't pay them monthly,…

Side question: Any advice for a stats junkie wanting to transition into data science? I did graduate statistics on small data sets so I'm missing the big data piece of the puzzle.

As someone who frequently hires Wordpress freelancers, I offer this: Don't 'sell' the client on using Wordpress relative to other frameworks. They don't need to know the complete p…

I applaud this effort! It seems to me that templating is the thing that the Wordpress ecosystem could most easily borrow from more recent development workflows. Probably makes life…

I'm tired of seeing these headlines based on one employee's departure. I'm not here to defend Valve by any means, but any sufficiently large organization will have the feature in E…

Just because Wired is reblogging Threes' own piece on 2048[1] doesn't make it any more legit. [1] http://asherv.com/threes/threemails/#letter

Are there any known success cases with Reddit? The user community (at least on the subreddits I watch) seems very anti-commercial.

I am seriously pessimistic. This merger is about wire less , not wire line . Yes, Japan has fantastic wireline broadband and Son had a lot to do with breaking open Japan's market (…

I bet it will. The open-source competitive shooters I can think of (Warsaw, Quake3's Challenge Pro Mode mod [in the sense that it was designed by community]) all had interesting an…

A few fun ways this also looks like turn-of-the-century FPS world: -We could see an FPS rise in eSports prominence again -Mods built on top of one game create tons of variety acces…

I had this in my last apartment in Tokyo. In Japan, water is commonly heated by gas-powered flash heaters. In that apartment, the heater was controlled digitally and there were up/…

You were running a money transmitter, and once you learn the regulations and liabilities that come attached to that you'll be glad you shut it down before the gap widened any furth…

I'm 29 and semi-technical. Hi :D Also, you're not fucked :D I like that people encourage you to keep searching while nudging you technically and entrepreneurially. I think you get …
