It's a bit reminiscent of the purported ancient Rome thumbs-down (or thumbs-up).

Fountain lets me screenwrite like how I code, which is awesome. I use Goyo[1] and capslock.vim[2] to reduce distraction and make the capitalization easier. Git in Dropbox works wel…

That is only an issue if we throw out the current system altogether. What do you think of embedding IPFS links within html? Secure content can be directly loaded from the central s…

And here's the actual site where you can try it out: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~graves/handwriting.cgi?text=

I think the web (www) won't change much at all, but that doesn't mean the way we interconnect with others won't. This seems ultimately shortsighted. Human "progress" (increasing in…

It's like grocery shopping and coupons, however. If you shouldn't be calling the function, then even a 99% reduction is not useful in that context. Would you rather call a slow fun…

I found this project a while back. I started putting TODO files and .topydo (config) files in my git repos while I work on them. Much better than having your todo list in your READ…

I can't find it. Is it not in the options GUI?

As someone who hasn't worked in the software industry yet, stories like these are beginning to horrify me. Is the bar really this low?

The Windows Live Family Safety filter that was installed on my first internet connected computer taught me how to kill processes and manipulate startup entries on Windows. Oddly en…

Are you looking for interns? This looks like an incredible product (and I'd really like to see how it works).

Providing an option for manual forwarding for power users or the slightly paranoid would be nice. I use a paid email service (Fastmail) to minimize data mining, so I can't just mak…

Bookmarked this. This looks seriously useful (has vim support!).

Yes, the search results aren't that good, but they're good enough. A single search almost always gets what I'm looking for on the front page or the entries immediately visible, whi…

Micropayments are not an option right now due to the friction: no one is going to give you their payment information. It requires a large amount of trust. One particular advertisin…
