That site is worth visiting just for the wavy scrolling marquee text that's actually selectable. Very satisfying!

Thanks for sharing! Looks like the documentary is available on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/322890808

His History of Mens Underwear video was one of the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNRX8kfGgYg

This is a fairly common procedure for children with different length legs to fix a limping gait. My sister had it done back in 5th grade. She has additional health issues, but once…

Not surprised they're mistreating the creators based on the way they treat customers. The way they delete any unused credits upon canceling a subscription is egregious. https://hel…

Thanks for sharing! I'm curious what you use to generate the high quality diagrams for the readme and on your blog.

I do a lot of Mac/iOS UI development and use ImageMagick to make before and after GIFs from screenshots. It's incredibly useful. This is my one-line makegif bash script that I use …

I'm excited to be the first comment to recommend The Broom of the System. I picked it off the library shelf because I knew of David Foster Wallace, but didn't think I had the stami…

This reminds me of the time my former company set a policy on everyone's computers locking the home page to the (largely useless and slow-to-load) intranet site. I then wrote a Saf…

I don't feel like the AirPods are that secure when I run with them, so I use some medical tape [1] to secure them to my ears. This is kind of weird, but I've done it since March an…

Another example of SO managing to alienate a user (in this case, me): Posting my very first answer to a question, finding a very similar post and adding my solution there as well, …

That list is somewhat misleading. Slack, for instance, only uses Xamarin Test Cloud.

That looks sweet! A less expensive option (that I haven't tried) is the Boogie Board: http://www.myboogieboard.com/na/products/boogie-board-sync-9...

Hey! I just moved to Redwood City for an internship that goes through the end of August too! Email me at webster.phil@gmail.com and let's get together. I am more than happy to deal…

It's not just you. These kind of un-scrollable sites are awful. The funky diagonal line adds to the confusion.

There are some sites that try to disable the ability to save passwords and 3rd party password managers usually override this. Another thing that's really nice is having the LastPas…

It would be nice if there was just a little more branding to show that this is a Dropbox-created product. "from Dropbox" isn't as clear as "by Dropbox". (Are photos being served "f…

Media keys are actually really nice to have. I use Rdio's desktop app which has similar functionality and it is really handy not to have to sort through browser windows to find con…

I completely agree. Each month I spend maybe an hour in Adobe apps, so even the student pricing (~$16/mo) which I'm eligible for, is too high for me to justify paying for Creative …

Maybe a knowledgeable person can answer this question: What is the white stuff fluttering down from the rocket?

"Tiger" is referring to himself (see username), but you're right about "bud". I hate being called bud.

I like it. Almost all the Candy Crush players I know set their clocks forward to instantly get more lives though.
