One of my favourite speedruns, Portal Done Pro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1U5RUVENNE Gets interesting at 3 mins. There's also an explanatory series.

Agreed, they're simple to use, even the 2 lane varieties. I think the problem is as mentioned, often American ones are much different. It seems more like a free for all circle with a random bunch of roads exiting and entering, with no

Maybe Valve have finished HL3, and are releasing a bunch of things to try out (F2P economy, marketplaces, trading cards, community upgrades, steambox), then if any have heavy backlash, they can just say "Shh guys, here's HL3"

This might be useful for contracts, as well. Editing points and having history, being able to comment on specific parts etc. Not 100% sure on how to solve the "legally binding" part if the other party declines digital signatures,

How much savings did you have? I'm considering doing the same at some point, though my quick glance at index funds makes it seem like I'd get basically nothing. What sort of budget does this afford you?

My least favourite are product titles that are completely unrelated to the use (which is fine), but when titles are modified, it becomes completely pointless: "Goose - A JS library for 3D graphics" --> "Goose" Yeah th

Can I emphasize the use of code samples right on the homepage? As an example, Requests ( http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ ). If you've ever done URL fetching in Python you can immediately see the value and cleanliness of it. A cou

If it helps, this type of problem has come up precisely zero times ever. Use a built in function, loop through the array, and if in the future it's running slow, _then_ optimise

Yeah in my experience "going responsive" is only one step. I did this for http://rugbydump.com (partly still in progress). There's a lot of `if (IS_MOBILE)` around the place, to not download a large amount of extra stuff on mobiles.

Try out fabric, start really, really, really small. I'll assume you use Git (if not, replace with your workflow). A super simple fabric script might simply be a `git push`. Instead of typing "git push origin master" in order to push to gith

I had that idea a while back (haven't done anything with it). I was thinking more along the lines of separate PIN numbers for ATMs/at checkout. You would set up different PIN numbers on your account (on the bank website), with specific cond

Aw man, am I the only one who doesn't have this terrible problem of everyone wanting to offer them a job? I'm sure I'm not doing 100% of what's possible to be able to sit back and pick and choose whether I want the 150k job or the 180k job,

Actually, you made it a lot clearer for me. Thanks for the writeup.

I thought of something similar for game releases, particularly indie games. Didn't want to have to trawl through a bunch of sites to find updates for the. Also, there was something posted a while back that did music albums, but I think the

I started with CI like you, and have recently move to Django/Python. I feel as if Django completely blows CI out of the water when it comes to robustness, community, features, extendability etc (and I'd assume Rails is the same). Although I

It seems as if the group were the only ones keeping the project going, and without them there won't be much more work on it.

Right now, a chrome extension for Steam, adds a bit of functionality to the store. Some extra links, prices from all regions, probably some other crap too. Currently the goals for it are to implement and use redis in a production site, lear

How do you, I guess, "bring up" that you created the sites? I have a few sites too that I've made but as well as being unaccustomed to applying for jobs, usually "my list of projects is here" doesn't cut it. And I never know how to bring it

I use Git for just my own projects, and it's just me. I barely use branches either, and I come from SVN. I use TortoiseSVN, I'm not sure if you do. But when I want to commit in SVN, I bring up the commit tool, select the files I want to com

I would like to say thanks for the Day to Day section. I wish a lot of places would say what literally happens rather than "We use tool X and language Y to empower people to chase their dreams".
