I could recommend taiko (Japanese) drums as an adult hobby. You very quickly get off the ground in terms of making wonderful music together with a group.

It’s a cool shell. I used it for a half a year. And then it started crashing on me every ten minutes or so. That’s when I came to appreciate how important the stability of such a t…

Maybe you’re not a native English speaker? “Getting robbed” can also mean not getting something you are justly deserved.

What amount of money do you think you'd have to pay them in order for them to say "Yeah, that's enough. I'm not going to use my position to my advantage."?

Point #2 was the reason we made our todo app. It was amazing how many apps had due dates but not do dates. Today you should see the tasks that you WANT to do, and not ALL your task…

This may be the standard approach, but the question is how else it could have happened other than some GoF procedure. Any idea what the odds are of this ratio happening by chance?

I have a small b2c business and one of our key differentiators is the customizability. Users LOVE to turn stuff on and off and customize fonts, colors, and every bit to their likin…

What laptop stand is that?

Facebook has major platform lock-in for me, though, since that's where all my friends are. The proper solution is to vote with your ad-blocker.

https://amazingmarvin.com/ has been my side project since 2016 (wow!). I will finally quit my job at the end of the year to go full-time on it (co-founder is already full-time). I …

My wife recently bought a macbook pro and I hate the keyboard (her comment was "you get used to it"). My 2015 MBP is running real slow and I didn't want to wait for next year's ref…

6 months in I rewrote my meteor app in react for a startup. At the time I was worried it was one of those developer procrastination moments, but it ended up as a HUGE win for us. O…

You can do: npm install --save react-router@3 which will add "react-router": "^3.2.0" to your package.json.

They are maintaining two branches. The 3.x branch has the same API as 2.x and works with React 16.

In my experience, Visual Studio performance has improved significantly since VS2010, but if you compare it to VC6, it's a joke. There's still an old PC at the office running it, an…
