    I remember the first time I wrote an entire controller and everything worked exactly like it did in my head. There was a lot of whooping and dancing to be had. Not that it happens …

    My diabetic fiance has a similar experience. If she speaks gibberish in the middle of the night, I use it as a good indicator that she has low blood sugar.

    YES! It's so important to be able to look under the hood with these things. When I was working at MoPub, our open source SDK was one of our major selling points.

    I ran into a similar issue with my app Storyweave (www.getstoryweave.com). There seems to be a wall after your friends and family get tapped out. The advice I've received is that a…

    Usually it's a physical combined with a comprehensive blood test. They look for elevated enzymes that could be indicative of various issues.

    Very cool. With the same approach were you able to manipulate prices or surge/no surge? Wouldn't be very useful in real life, but if they have a bug bounty program you could report…

    Mind you, the article's claim indicates that there is one employee at reddit that disagrees with her. That's no clear indication of her success/failure at reddit.

    The former. The article indicates that while costs of office space have increased (doubled in rate really), when compared to the increase in costs from employee salaries, it's minu…

    I've actually got an alternative magic stretch that can be done standing (so you can do it in the middle of a run). It involves crossing your legs and reaching over to the side. Im…
