Looks good and all... but I'm interested in the story on how it leaked on Twitter. The link just goes to the Github repo now.

I'll chime in here with my experience. I am not someone who generally suffers from claustrophobia, but as a tall person (6ft 5in) who is by no means fat, I can honestly say it was one of the worst things I've had to do. My shoulde

You can shorten it even further to typing 'fori' then triggering the expansion by pressing tab. Best shortcut that every IntelliJ user should know is "Find Action" (ctrl + shift + a on Win), press and start typing what y

I might be missing something here, but where is the passphrase negotiated? Apart from calling or talking to the other person, the only way to define this common key that I can see would be electronically. Isn't this a bit of a problem?

What is the best way to establish optimal pool size? The article seems to gloss over this and instead mentions 'you need to set pool: 25', but I doubt this is a one size fits all solution. Anyone have any experience profiling these sorts of

One problem I have with the current 2FA on Google Apps is that there is no way to enforce 2FA for all users before everyone sets up their mobile device. If you've set the requirement for all to have 2FA, then new users can never log in. You

As someone who uses Terminal.app, what are the benefits of using iTerm2? After looking at the features of iTerm2[1], I see a lot of it as superfluous. That said I can see a usecase in the Growl notification feature for testing etc. [1] htt

I'd like to mention SourceTree[0] for a GUI DVCS. I typically drop to the terminal for git usage, but every so often use SourceTree when I need something that is easier achieved with a mouse. [0] http://sourcetreeapp.com/

These decisions typically have much wider reaching ramifications, like an existing tech stack which relies on some quirk of IE6, or activeX. Yes, it's simple to upgrade a browser, but the potential impact must be evaluated, and this takes t

I think this really depends on your target market. Big corps such as banks are typically slow to move and I know of at least one which is only just moving from IE6 now.

I think this stems from the memory these people hold that the item (whatever it is, doughnut, site access etc) was once free. People will wonder "why did this change?". It could be many things, but people will most likely jump to the easies

Definitely another criteria we would like to have. Will try and source the info and add it in the future. Cheers!

Thanks for raising this, will take a look. We plan on adding a reporting system into the site so people can flag inaccuracies, but that is still a little while off.

Ha - yeah I wouldn't be surprised. We haven't looked to make it mobile friendly yet, but it is on the list. Thanks for checking it out!

Appreciate the feedback! We're working to add the field labels now so stay tuned. With regard to price, its a tough one. We purposefully left it out initially because it's subjective. If we use RRP - should a 2000MY Suzuki 650F be filtered

Yep definitely more info required here isn't there :) This targets the Australian market, and more specifically the state of New South Wales. Some of the bikes may be expensive (or not worth learning on), but this list is provided by the Ro

As a bit of background, in most states of Australia you can only ride restricted motorbikes (commonly referred to as LAMS bikes) when on your learner or provisional license. As motorcycle riders, we wanted to help people find out what bikes

This is a good way for Facebook to leverage existing mobile App infrastructures without stepping on too many people’s toes. Developers are responsible for developing an app, and putting it on as many stores etc as they like. In this sense,

FTA: "if a mobile app requires installation, they will be sent to download the app from the App Store or Google Play". This would lead me to believe it is going to run like some existing iOS apps, such as Bejeweled 2. If you click that men

It's great to see you reaping a reward for going out on a limb - congratulations! How do you think your pitch would have been received had this been in a more traditional forum? Do you think you would have achieved the same results, or woul
