    None of the voice controlled devices I've ever used have been a pleasant experience (Google, Siri, various others). I don't think the tech is there yet personally. They might have …

    Interesting, thanks. In that first blog post it mentions that Meteor serves static files. Is that a requirement? edit: posted too soon they talk about it here https://meteorhacks.c…

    The "running from a single box" at the end seems like it could be the most important part of the equation. Would you agree? Or rather, would that be the recommended place to start …

    Is there somewhere I can read about new dev tool features that have not yet made it to Chrome?

    Exactly. Totally agreed on all counts :) Btw that is why I use the somewhat pretentious sounding "Written on my tablet" or "Written on my phone" in email signatures on devices like…

    Sorry, I understand that part. Was wondering what you meant by this (specifically the part about a "filtered down view of the world"): "I find this better even just for the fact th…

    And I think you can leverage THESE criticisms at about 90% of software out there written in just about any language.

    This is true but typos/misspellings/etc still reflect poorly on the author in most situations. After all, isn't the subject of this post a rather critical typo?

    It's a framework. If you don't want to spend much time customizing it, your site will look like everyone else's who made the same choice. But it is very easy to customize and theme…

    It would be nice if they'd list the location but this is a great collection nevertheless. Looks like Google Car drove into some fairly hostile territory at times... That one of the…

    In the United States, a public hysteria would likely do more damage than the virus itself so this is a good idea even if it is just security theatre. I've heard that phrase uttered…
