Did you have any issues with Wifi/Display Brightness/Keybindings when setting up your chromebook? I haven't seen many posts by CB3-131 users and I've been having some issues (poste…

You know we've all seen helper.php files that are so monolithic Yes. This has nothing to do with flat functions vs. classes. I've seen 'helper' classes get shitted up just as much …

The point still stands, though, that you shouldn't put array_select_keys into a php file filled with other helper functions. It doesn't stand. There's absolutely nothing wrong with…

array_intersect_key does not do the same as array_select_keys. You can emulate it using array_intersect_key, but either in a more confusing or slow way. $array = ['a' => 1, 'b' => …

Maybe if it's used solely for debugging, but there are cases where simple functions aren't easy to place. Consider implementing the array_column function for pre-5.4 PHP. Or things…

Here's a reason: it's the most comfortable piece of clothing I own.

@ the mobile data thing : data caps. I pay for 2 GB of data usage a month. I don't see anything wrong with my friend tossing me $15 and using 1 GB. If 50 people want to split it, I…

Boy, do I feel you there. I've been working with Titanium since last March and I've yet to develop some semblance of a cross-platform application. It's a bloody mess in there.

I hate articles like this. Not because they don't highlight what a steaming pile the actual fitness and training industry is, but because they're way too slow. Proper training arti…

This is pretty freaking awesome. Having access to an easy patent search is huge for would-be inventors and probably quite a bit of startups. Removing the searching fees and making …

Definitely concurring on NPR; that broadcast is quick, informative, and gives you a pretty good view of what the average persons sees when they watch the news.

Pretty awesome! Not something I'd be using in CSS, but certainly cool for an editor. Time to see how it stacks up against some other Monos for code readability...

Definitely go to college. As much as it seems like that stupid piece of paper they call a degree is worthless and doesn't teach you anything, it shows more than that; it shows that…

Pretty awesome - though I suspect that there are going to be plenty of security issues stemming from this. The current facebook login button is already used on plenty of malicious …

Something that is tied to the "Where are the customers?" point - conducting mini-'interviews'. Sometimes direct competitors are tough to come up with, but asking people if they wou…

A short article about why you should grow out that sweet 'stache you've been saving for a rainy year.

Talk to your partner and ask him what he coded it in, then start learning it. Also have a talk with him about management issues. It sounds like it's your project but it's not going…

F# is going to be tough, but take a look at the Netbeans / Eclipse IDEs. A bit easier to set up, especially if you're migrating from Windows to a graphical linux system like Ubuntu…

I totally understand this, and it's why I switched to a netbook. But looking back, I realize that all these are really becoming non-issues. Two years ago, maybe - back when netbook…

Definitely true - I do want to say, however, that newer netbooks will be able to handle all but the largest projects in Eclipse/Netbeans with ease, so this part is less of a consid…
