    That would be perfect for a ratio-enforcement scheme that works cross-tracker. I'm sure there would be ways to game it, but it could go a long way in ensuring the average user give…

    Since the image is actually rebuilt server-side to reflect the current rotation of the earth, it's simple to just rotate it with CSS based on the current time: http://jsfiddle.net/…

    That's nonsense. There are a lot of reasons that a first (or any) job isn't a fit, and a whole lot of them aren't caused by the employee's negative traits. Just to name a few: the …

    The pCell spatial demonstration [1] is really amazing. If this delivers what it promises, we could finally have the technology we needed to cut the cord entirely for personal/busin…

    Lots of people do - some backup providers charge tiered amounts or 'unlimited' data, and the convenience of getting your OS back exactly the way it was is absolutely worth using an…

    A chrome extension can make network connections that you won't (normally) see in Dev Tools using a background page. You'll see the connections if you inspect the background page di…

    This is a fantastic feature, and something that preprocessors like SASS/LESS cannot do without complicated workarounds. There are often times in my CSS workflow where I want to do …

    That's not the first time I've been disappointed in the style and operation of the JS packaged with bootstrap. While they solved some useful problems and packaged it nicely, they d…

    That's really interesting! Could you post any examples of how you're using it?

    TFA is arguing to use the router for navigation without having it push a separate URL to the bar, and still have back/forward work correctly. Essentially, creating a route change t…

    I think the GP was on the right track, but somewhat confused. They obviously don't do this on all models, but some dual-core models are disabled quad-cores. Remember the Athlon X3?…

    Just use coinbase. IMO it's the only exchange that actually does fiat currency to BTC correctly - all the rest have horror stories posted all over bitcointalk and reddit.

    The nicest description most Polygon staff could manage for the Xbox One's silhouette is "inoffensive" — there's no sugarcoating the console's lack of visual flair. Microsoft has cr…

    In my experience, it is absolutely worth having a degree - by all means, don't give that up, you should graduate, especially since you've come this far. In terms of grades, I found…

    I became a remote worker through a mix of bad luck, bad management, and a startup that wasn't going well. Of course at the time, I thought it was terrible; it turned out to be incr…

    Naming him wasn't the right approach and I apologize for that - however I cannot edit or delete the post. His involvement as the UI team lead is, however, public information. His c…

    It gets worse - the UI team lead had an associate's degree in Art & Web Design from a community college, and a bachelor's in Zoology. [1] Normally, I would say credentials generall…

    You guys have put out some great pieces of JS in the last year and the quality is getting better. I'm a big fan of how this is not jQuery dependent and the code is simple. I've bee…
