I've used the same EFF sticker for about 5 years now. They are great and whenever it stops sticking, I just rinse it off under warm water and let it dry. Good as new again.

Is there a way to be able to point JSPM to a different, non-github repo? A remote clone of the repo might work then.

Given you'd like to focus on functional languages and you'd also like to be productive enough to build and monetize apps as an individual, you might like and want to look into Elix…

I feel much the same way as much of what you've said in this post. I'm curious what you think of things like the #NoEstimates camp that removes the ambiguity and "gut check" nature…

I think this is a clear win for individual users that have been paying for GitHub. For organizations, I'm curious how many organizations they have just bumped above the $300-500/mo…

No, but it depends. One thing to remember about technical debt is the concept of interest. Each time you have to go into a part of the code with high technical debt, you pay intere…

Based on it's shape, it seems the business end of the tube is where the majority of the pressure difference would be created. I suspect that the mask is more to prevent air rushing…

OP Here: My team and I have spent the last several months building a system to convert study abroad offices away from inefficient paper processes and to help them better engage wit…

I know that pain. Took me and my wife almost 5 years, near $2,000 and three interviews to get her green card. And that was with her already being in the states when we met and got …

Have you ever read the E-Myth books? A fictional character can convey truth just as clearly as any other.

I second Middleman. I've used it for a number of static sites. For responsive layout, I highly recommend Gridism. It's simple and lightweight.

They use campfire so giving anyone access to the chat logs would be as simple as adding them. They could then look at any logged history (almost all of it, unless the room was lock…

There are two points I don't get with such a system. 1) The logic/functions needed in each "black box" still need to be written. How is that handled? Is that where the line of "pro…

I may be echoing others, but I to say to go for it. As for the "gap", this is simple. Start a business. If you're going to be making and selling mobile apps, you'll want a basic co…

Hey HN! What parts of Git do you wish you knew more about? Anything from things you've looked at but not grokked to cool things you've heard about and you'd like to know more about…

I had this same kind of experience. I taught myself Rails in about a month and then joined a Startup Weekend event. It made me realize just how much I _could_ do. I too went the "f…

Indeed! I couldn't agree more. I liken a diverse company to what we see in biology. Diverse colonies of organisms tend to be far more resilient to hardship than homogeneous groups …

Cool, though I think 20 years of time and however much that cost could have been put toward something that actually helps a fellow human. Maybe build a bunch of smaller houses for …

I second this recommendation. I've used a number of services. AWS is great for testing. Rackspace is fine too. However, for my everyday usage, Linode is wonderful and pleasant to u…

As a Rails n00b, I can't wait to try this.
