This is an extremely complicated question. I run a UI/UX studio here in Toronto and we go all up and down the spectrum, with some clients being shocked at our prices for web design/development but we've also lost jobs from other prospective

I didn't know about this. Still, I was expecting a little longer of a communication with support-- 'escalation' or at least 'the ask' should have been done before the public shaming, in my mind. All I see now is a cordial and polite explana

The author didn't even ask for what he wants: his year of free delivery under $35. I'm sure Instacart would have no problem at the very least waiving two $8 fees. My advice to people calling into customer service departments? Just ask. The

This appears to be an abuse of process from LayerVault. They have a design in a style that's not quite originally theirs-- they've seemingly abused the DMCA to have github remove a completely unrelated UI kit in the same style. The two item

I think this is another case of "Failures were justified and assigned an appropriate cause". In reality, the author didn't have the discipline to balance work and entertainment. This sounds like tantamount lazyness to me; who doesn't want t

I think the big difference is that thumb tacks are not a toy. These are a toy. They're marketed as a toy. They're given to children as a toy .

I think this was the lowest-hanging fruit in Rails. Glad they've finally addressed it in core. Years of people using job queues just to send mail is finally over! But, why doesn't this let me pass objects to Mailer methods? I can't help but

This is a spectacular move by Microsoft because it takes the main feature from Nintendo's upcoming WiiU: a touch-screen for games. Nintendo has released an entirely new system, while Microsoft has kept up with Nintendo's innovation by using

We contacted 37signals when they originally announced their intention to sell Sortfolio. Having bought and sold sites before we asked for some pretty standard information about traffic, revenue, etc. These questions weren't answered and we

Rails needs to do a release solely focused on speed. Dropping 1.8.7 is a good step for a lot of people, but I feel Rails itself has gotten slower since 2.x and I know a lot of people would agree with me. I do a lot of work in CodeIgniter as

Be careful-- kaminari is much, much slower than will_paginate: https://github.com/amatsuda/kaminari/issues/37 will_paginate may pollute Array, but it's been a great solution, that has worked for a long time. Be wary of upgrading for t

A little research shows the photo is not recent. It's being hotlinked from a wordpress.com blog, and a Tineye search shows it's from Time's 2008 TIME 100 ( http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,17337... ) Who knows when it

In question 5) regarding Canvas vs. SVG, Remy Sharp lists Canvas as a "non-interactive" technology. Could someone clarify this for me? Why does he consider it to be "non-interactive"? It was my understanding that Canvas is picking up steam

At the risk of leaving a 'negative' comment: This is dangerously close (for lack of a better word) to spec work. You might get paid, based on a vague specification (I want something like x.com! Features? Just look at x.com!) The author want

I believe they do owe the community a few things. They owe the community a transparent and open development process. They are doing this with Lighthouse and GitHub. Anybody can submit a bug, patch, watch other tickets, see commits being m

If you have excellent Django, PHP, HTML, CSS, etc skills don't just give them away. It's great if you want to help out with the Ubuntu project, but make sure it's on your terms. Someone riding you 9 to 5 for no pay is called being taken adv

The same thing happened with .GIFs, royalties weren't actively pursued for a very long time, but when they were it became a problem. Let's not make the same mistake again.

The problem with this suggestion is that the floor that Starbucks occupies costs a fortune . The author says it himself: he'd be willing to pay "a small" fee to hang out in a Starbucks for 3 to 5 hours . If you were to actually look what

I find it completely and utterly mind boggling that anyone would find this useful. Spending habits are private: tracking your OWN is useful. But sharing everything publicly? It's insane. Guaranteed you are going to be embarrassed after you

I'm a little confused by this... so the Unreal Engine 3 (included in the UDK)... isn't the same as what's being distributed to the big-time game development studios?

That page is faked; I just see the same entries come up again and again after I refresh. Brilliant marketing technique, indeed.
