I have a habit of growing my amazon wish list from hacker news comments. I own Zinn's People's History of the US, I can't seem to find The Origin of Politics on amazon. There are m…

I'll second MySQL Workbench. For me the other big win over PhpMyAdmin is the security. With PhpMyAdmin, you have to install it on the server you're managing. Which exposes your app…

Ah, okay. I didn't realize they could contain more data. That would make sense. If it only contained space for URLs, like I assumed, having to open a separate app seems like an ext…

Is there a reason neither Chrome, Safari, and now Firefox for iOS have a qrcode reader built in? It seems like to me that would be a no brainer. Is there something technical I'm mi…

I use Adobe Bridge for this [0]. It comes bundled with Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm not sure if you can get it separately, but it does everything your asking about. Also, as someon…

Bootstrap/Foundation can be great when you don't know a lot and need something that is acceptable now. However, from a gaining experience point of view, those frameworks can get ki…

I used Fedora for about six months as my desktop OS a couple of years ago. It was my first "real" choice using linux. I started with Ubuntu because it was so popular at the time an…

I've used lynda.com for a while and about 6 months ago they started asking me to share that I had completed a course in my linkedin profile. There is no exam or anything just somet…

Yea, I'm going to check out PostgreSQL's json storage. >But at the end of the day, what matters is that your product works. With my requirements, I could just write to a flat file …

But what about low performance, low transaction? Realistically the stuff I'd use it for wouldn't see much traffic. The big factor for me is schemaless. I don't want to create a new…

Yea, from the good stuff I've read about MongoDB I really want to like it. There's just been so much more negative that I've read.

Awesome, Thanks for the reply. My use cause is barely out of the "toy app" range. We only do a handful of events each year and they only draw around 100 attendants. We're talking a…

So let me ask a question. What should I use when I do need a schemaless database? Is NoSQL never the answer? I've got a project that needs to allow clients to create registration f…

I used this site for a corporate video I had to put together. The music/loops aren't free but they have a decent selection and I was happy with the result. http://www.premiumbeat.c…

I'll second this, but I think there is possibly a huge market for the watch/healthkit integration. As a runner, I'm really excited about the possibilities of a customizable tracker…

It's difficult for me to say. After I wrote the first comment, I remembered hearing long ago that the reason softball pitchers typically don't have arm trouble is that the under ha…

I don't know about softball, but I played baseball from the time I was 4 until I was 19 and the biggest change in youth baseball has been monitoring pitch counts for youth pitchers…

I started with LESS (Bootstrap) and couldn't make the column gutters collapse. I did some research, found that I could do that in Zurb Foundation so I started using foundation. It …

This cannot come fast enough! Now if we can just figure out how to force xp and vista users to upgrade my life will get A LOT easier!

The article is an interesting read, but I feel like the author paints the ISPs as knights in shining armor. I particularly have a problem with this line, "But Netflix (NFLX, Tech30…

It seems kind of like a last ditch effort. According to CNN, the speculation is that the death rate is so high that there wasn't much to lose. It sounds like the doctor was conscio…
