Another method of productizing the technology could be an automatic group generator. I'd pay 5$ to have all my friends merged into mutual groups. I have 500 friends and there's no way I'm going to create groups for all of them. But having them grouped would be nice.
How'd you register the .ng domain? Is it possible to get a straight .ng domain with out the '.com'? All the sites that offer .ng seem very sketchy and I'm skeptical of trying.
- Use the most official title: 'Yes Trooper', 'Thank you sheriff', etc.
- Be honest, authentic and remorseful, but not apologetic. (I don't agree with #1)
- Be well groomed. After I got my beard and hair cut, I stopped getting tickets. I've gotten 8 consecutive warnings, most verbal. Before getting 'cleaned up', I got 9 tickets and 1 warning.
- Have a woman in the car. Doesn't have to say anything, just smile and reply to questions.
- Pull over, turn on the dome light and leave your hands on the steering wheel. I lower my window when a flashlight hits me, and only get paper work in response to a command.
My streak of warnings still dumbfounds me. I even got pulled over twice after a superbowl for a tail light and got a verbal warning twice.
Should Checkout CloudPull for the mac for backing up google services. Yes, everyone should backup gmail. If you get hacked and all your email deleted, googles backups won't do you any good.
Arq is a good backup-to-cloud service if you're conscious of where your data goes(S3) and who has the keys(Only you).
They're both indie programmers out of Boston too, which may be some of my bias, but check'm out!
There's an interesting Clang autocomplete mode. It is almost great, but falls short a bit for obj-c. If you deal with C/C++ all day, you should definitely check it out:
Wow, I never had any post summarize my growth as an engineer so well. Except for the writing and community bit, that's come a bit late.
I remember the day I realized that I could have windows and play heretic all day, or install linux and tinker all day. Linux quickly won.
The biggest skill I learned from linux is to never expect things to work, and to expect the internet to fix things. My round trip time from not working to google and back to working is by far my most valuable asset as an engineer.
And still, almost every day I leave work I think "God that was awesome!". I hope that never goes away.
Oh, and so +1 for 2 hour nr epic SC battles! Except it was under wine, and man did it quake!
This seems like such a bad UI Choice by Apple. 1 finger scroll. 2 fingers, in-app action(forward/back), 3 fingers inter-app action, 4 fingers desktop action.
I think differently if I'm looking at a page vs, navigating, and I continue to fail to use scroll-to-navigate. If 2 fingers did forward back I would love it. The current method overloads an abstraction to the point I can't trust it.
The fact that chrome and firefox duplicated it is disappointing.
This reads like terrible journalism. "This is one metric used for safety and this one device can't possibly violate that one metric, so the ban is arbitrary." Taking the words of this one test of one device and then jumping to the conclusion that the FAA restriction is arbitrary is deceptive trolling.
"Emissions at the operating frequency were as high as 60 dB over the airplane equipment emission limits, but the other emissions were generally within airplane equipment emission limits. One concern about these other emissions from cell phones is that they may interfere with the operation of an airplane communication or navigation system if the levels are high enough."
I would agree that the recommendations are strongly based in paranoia, and I'm completely ok with that. Being based on inertia, and policy vs the latest science is something no one wants to see, but it will take a lot more than a NYT pseudo-test to change it.
Here's another visualization focusing on the last 200 years. Doesn't focus on population growth as much as life expectancy, but a far cooler visualization in my book!
Anyone remember the original freshmeat logo? For the life of me I couldn't find it, but it was basically a softcore-skin as the background for the freshmeat text. I looked at the internet archive, and the older sites had a broken link for the logo.
Anyways, seems funny to see them innocently tip toeing around this 'brand problem' they're having without acknowledging they basically had a softcore-porn logo for their first year or so.
Wow, what a douchy site. Guess this is the tabloid for the indie world?
protip: When life sucks act perfectly.
The guy had his baby killed and these guys ream out the way he responds. He was working on making something that people enjoyed. Hearing people on the sideline, put that much effort into making him wrong strictly pisses me off.
There are risks in paying an indie for a game before he delivers - wow that's a shocking conclusion.
Feel bad for the developer, that's a kick to the nuts I hope I never experience.
Was able to get through a ways, but I'm hanging on Farmers insurance. Hope you saved a cookie so I don't have to re-enter that... Never thought I'd say that !
This happened to my girlfriend and I had a similar freak out. After asking a few more questions she remembered getting an email to enter her gmail password to get more storage space.... She knows better, but just didn't think about it - it seemed legitimate. Ask your friend more questions, I bet she fell for the same scam. I've met 4 people now that fell for the same one.
I'm also very concerned about the no 'restore' option from gmail. What good are google backups if you can't initiate them?
There are windows on macs, but it appears Macs are going away from them with the full screen apps. Look at all of Apple's apps - they're all going single window. Document based apps can still have multiple windows, but everything is self contained.
