    I'd assume that single in this sense means "not married", as opposed to "not in a relationship at all". Wikipedia backs this up [1] but I'm not familiar with Ecuadorian legal nomen…

    To add more anecdotal evidence, I too had childhood asthma (was on a ventilator when very young, inhalers until ~16) and am a "natural" stomach breather.

    In other news, "UK internet providers reject default porn filters" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22934600 It's almost like you can't believe everything you read online. I'…

    Translation: 'Fuck you, 3rd party Twitter clients.' They'll still cut them off at the knees when they hit at most 200,000 users. Nitpick - it's 200% of what they're at now, so if t…

    I was going to put a smiley after that first line as it was kind of tongue in cheek, but HN isn't the place for smilies! People pay Heroku/AWS each month, I don't see any differenc…

    Pusher costs ~$49/month, my time is worth $1000/hour [1] It took me about 5 minutes to setup Pusher and for that I get private channels, presence, someone to handle the scaling etc…

    I've found hanging around on StackOverflow and the #emberjs IRC channel to be very useful, if only just to try and answer every question I see as an opportunity to learn. I didn't …

    Exactly, it's not a programmer thing, it's a culture thing. Non-development oriented conferences I've been to end up in the bar too. It's not just conferences, plenty of non develo…

    We were using Spreedly to abstract out the payment gateway side of things for our subscriptions. However, to use them you need to be able to disable CVV checking using PayPal's "ad…

    I find the pomodoro technique really useful. Just the simple thing of having a countdown timer going makes me focus on the task at hand and restricts my procrastination to the brea…

    This is the coffeescript equivalent, not sure how to get it working in the visualisation though as it doesn't involve swaps. VA = [4, 2, 5, 7] for y in VA setTimeout('console.log('…
