Same here. Usually $0.15 per month, current bill is $15.4 billion.

This drove me absolutely crazy as well and I was equally shocked that anyone thought it was a good idea. Ended up going through several rounds of password resets before figuring it…

This has been bugging me as well for years. Only found an app called Sharedr recently which replaces the sharing dialog. It's not perfect and has a limitation with sharing files, b…

Another happy PushBullet user here. Extremely useful for receiving text messages from my phone while on my laptop, especially for web apps that insist on sending security codes tha…

Same here. I wish everyone company with a subscription based licensing model did it this way. It should be noted though, when Jetbrains initially decided to move to this type of li…

You're not alone. My kids are 4 and 9, and I've got a similar experience. Used to try and take on freelance work, but after missing some commitments, I've stopped doing that now as…

John Resig does deserve a lot of credit for his work on jQuery and at Khan Academy. Small correction though, he wasn't a founder of Khan Academy. It was started in 2008 by Sal Khan…

Might not necessarily mean they are _physically_ stranded. Booking holidays often means scheduling time off work, around children's school holidays, when prices are reasonable, etc…

Looks good, though no category for .NET? Would've thought that would be an in-demand skill in London.

Female genital mutilation doesn't actually have anything to do with Islam, as Reza Aslan points out in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV0QXO6YfzA

I was a freelancer for nearly 6 years, but eventually got tired of the inconsistent income and the type of work I was doing also got boring, as well as time and energy spent dealin…

I'm also wondering the same thing. This new trend of putting a create button in the bottom right of the screen seems counter intuitive and annoying. Fortunately, both the Mint and …

Most important takeaway about salary negotiation, by the way: disclosing a previous salary is almost always against your interests because it pegs your new salary to that plus 5% r…

Yeah, I agree with this. Been contemplating whether to invest time in learning RoR for a while now, though I've also been using ASP.NET for over a decade now, and leaving the Micro…

I'm not sure I that I agree with this. I've worked on plenty of projects utilizing ASP.NET during my days as a freelancer where I was the only developer. However, it might be that …

Absolutely. Usually read the comments first, before the linked article. There's nearly always an interesting discussion going on.

It's a pity there aren't more Senior .NET developer positions for remote workers. The vast majority of them seem to be for Ruby on Rails.

I've had similar problems with pain and discomfort when using a mouse. Was using an Evoluent Vertical Mouse for about a year, which helped, until the left clicker started playing u…

Asking me to enter my Amazon username and password makes this a complete non-starter. Might be the best idea in the world, but I'm not going to risk handing over my credentials for…

Thanks for the link. That's a fascinating read. Being a Muslim man, I've been stopped and questioned by CBP numerous times when entering the US. It's interesting how they they alwa…

Any plans to add .NET to the type of leads?

As justinreeves said, I choose to give that information to Facebook. It's absurd having to share all of this information to Tinkercoin so they can supposedly verify my identity to …

"Tinkercoin will receive the following info: your public profile, friend list, email address, work history, status updates, education history, hometown and current city." No thanks…

Not Fox "News" I hope ;-)

My thoughts exactly. I'm certainly going to be looking at other options, including BitTorrent Sync. As useful as Dropbox may be, it's something I'd be willing to do without if this…
