It becomes a problem when vitriolic responses like that (death threats, etc) are taken as indicators of the entire community. It absolutely needs to stop, and we all need to work t…

In Chromium this initiates an automatic download as soon as I open the URL. Yuck. Otherwise, cool service.

Yea, I love Prime videos. The author here is extrapolating about the entire Prime subscribership based on his personal experiences. That's a terrible way to write an article.

I really like the idea, but the name is somewhat offputting, especially if I were in a position where I had to sell it to management (luckily I'm not). Will definitely give it a wh…

Speaking three languages doesn't qualify him as a competent developer.

So Fez underwent a somewhat significant API overhaul in the last few weeks. Now it is much more of a DSL, but is also much more expressive. I'm worried that perhaps it's a bit too …

1) Since it only does the work that needs to be done, you can safely 'watch node fez.js' and if there have been no file changes, nothing will be done! This won't work on Windows, o…

Fixed! Thanks for the heads up.

Hah! I should probably change it to Fezzes then.

This is a really cool idea! I can almost see a website existing whose sole purpose is the auction and sale of software technology.

It's not really an issue for me. I have four cards and don't mind having them all in my wallet. What seems to have happened is a bunch of people with the same idea panicked and put…

This is interesting, but not really much more practical than etching (albeit cleaner). It's a neat proof of concept and that's about it.

We try really hard to come up with ways to use technology to create value, but there are heaps of opportunities like this one to curate a product by hand and deliver value derived …

I suspect the difference between hacking the NSA website and hacking the NSA's central computer system is more than subtle

This is a really lucid response to the 500m loc nonsense
