The latest PyCharm 4.0 IDE from JetBrains support just this feature, and it's great. I am guessing that the upcoming 0xDBE will support this in a standalone app if you don't need a full blown IDE for another language outside of S

This explains some weird EC2 stuff we saw yesterday. A good reminder to check up that a box starts up as expected (mounts disks, starts services, etc). It's easy to get lazy about that sort of thing when you're moving fast.

Thanks for the insight, I still thought the Bitcoin protocol would have had enough transparency to make the case clear as to whether or not this is a situation of dishonesty or incompetence. I guess the protocol does not provide the level

Ok, at the risk of sounding completely naive... I've been following this story for a while, and it seems that no one can say for sure if this is embezzlement or gross incompetence. Based on leaked memos it seems to be most people are l

This is really nice. I said I'd by $5 for a desktop version but I'd pay $10 for a Chrome extension that could work on selected text or (even better) the Gmail compose text box.

Reading this thread on Reddit actually puts in perspective how hard it must be for governments to design and implement effective economic regulations. It's a real balancing act.

It's hard to tell from the included screenshots, but both based on the dimensions of the Facebook Ad (it looks like a "Right Hand Rail" ad and not one that run in the newsfeed) and the fact that a Mobile App Install statistic

In my opinion, this is not because they expect Google+ to be a true competitor to Facebook. The addition of information in Google+ user profiles allows them to compete with Facebook advertising in a key arena -- targeting ads based on self-

I disagree. Considering the way likes work on platforms like Facebook, by Liking something you are advertising your interest in it. Viewers of your profile can see (and judge) the things that you have liked and also you create a story vis

These toilets are a pleasure to use. But I think the main reason many people don't consider them is that you need a nearby electrical socket or have a big dumb cable on your bathroom floor. The article quotes $500 to have a GFCI socket in

I agree. I think the bad assumption is "If I’m Going To Have To Buy New Computer Hardware Anyway…" You don't. I don't think most people running Windows 8 think they need to buy a touchscreen. PS: People seem to disregard that 4M people up

What I don't understand is why someone would target bots to only Facebook click advertisements. Facebook offer the ability to create ads that also allow users to Like a page, RSVP to an Event, or Install a Facebook app -- all of these thin
