> So movie theater > movie at home for most people. I'm really wonder if that's true for most people. Sure, there are people that would rather watch in the theater, but there are a…

Would you want to look at them again but forget or are you just bookmarking out of habit?

I tried to solve this with my app Mochimarks, best used through the Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mochimarks-chrome-... For "todo list", marking somet…

I thought about this a lot... so this'll be long. I thought of how bookmarks were used and came up with: - Things you want easy access to, but have annoying URLs, like your company…

I've been working on a bookmarking app with a feature that reminds you to revisit bookmarks (either algorithmically or manually via a schedule.) It also has built-in wishlisting an…

I use a paper notebook to sketch out diagrams and sometimes make todo lists. I like to use the notebook during useful meetings too, I feel like it's less distracting than a compute…

Thanks for checking it out and thanks a lot of the feedback! There is a suggest tags system in place right now, but it relies on crowd sourcing and there aren't many users right no…

Yeah, the guide is kind of hidden away at https://mochimarks.com/info/api

If you use the "suggestion" sorting, it will recommend some links it thinks you should look at again. It bases this on several factors, like the interest level, tags, creation date…

Hi, creator here. I made Mochimarks because I found that recently, I wanted to go back to certain links at certain times. For example, I'd want to go back to a kickstarter on the d…

I think there should be a point to address running out of memory. If you just keep adding images/animation/videos, eventually the site experience will be bad.

In this case, it might be easier to describe sending letters in a secret code to your friends. Even though the mailmen can read everything on the envelope, they can't read anything…

I think this is fine. Java is verbose as it is, it would be even worse if Exceptions were handled "as intended" and every Exception type was treated individually. Log and move on c…

This article was about what stack to use for a startup and reddit is certainly no longer a startup. Tech stacks definitely change to adapt to its needs, at some point a company sho…

I think this is really great advice. This mindset was critical for me to finally start finishing up my side projects. For me, working by myself, 'Choose the tech I know best' is mo…

For me, it's all about discipline. You don't delete your interests, you just force yourself to focus on the thing you've decided is most important. Sometimes you need a break or ha…

It's because it's a pretty situational thing to talk about. IMO, the most sensible reasons to move away from RDS would be customer requirements or you're not using AWS for anything…

At what scale have you found Performance and Size Limitations an issue? I've seen people leave due to cost before (not that I thought they were always correct), but not for the oth…

Yeah, VARCHAR and TEXT are backed by the same datatype, but VARCHAR(N) gives you a limit check (that can be a pain to change if you ever need to.) There shouldn't be any noticable …

Are you saying a NoSQL solution is better for this use case? Because that's what this article is asking. Sure, they could do things better (can't we always?), but that's not the po…

The point of this article is showing how MySQL could be used to get a lot of what a NoSQL solution provides. NoSQL certainly has a place, but a lot of people don't really understan…

It's really up to what kind of project you want to work on and how much resources (time/effort/stress/money/etc..) you want to put into it. The learning curve for something new is …

If you haven't seen hacker koans, they're fun to read through. Sure they're largely parody, but some of the popular ones feel like proper koans.
