With this line of thinking, nothing was ever an invention. The first tools were just an iteration over banging things with rocks.

Viable electric cars, light bulbs connected to wifi, Raspberry Pi, robots that run like cheetahs, quad copters, quantum computers... But saying "I'm sure there might be a few but..." indicates your disposition will be critica

"Just because I know how to write PHP doesn't mean I understand these vulnerabilities at all." Ouch. You need to know a lot more than PHP to make your toaster talk to your dishwasher. And I'm pretty certain it's not

Try watching a Cosmos marathon. The hyperbolic introductions are inspiring until you watch them back to back.

Ever hear of someone missing a meeting because it was scheduled for 2:00EST and they thought it was 2:00PST? Ever see an email from an employer, or hear the news reminding you to change your clock this weekend? It's not a programming p

It's rare that you have transatlantic meetings, but you fly abroad so often that you can't keep track of when the shops open? (your phone could compensate for that). Do you also flip the fuck out when you fly to Australia and it&#

It's only confusing because it's different from what you've been doing your entire life. The solution (hypothetically, as this will never happen in our lifetime) is a different paradigm. You could say, "I'll get tha

If you want to propose a solution to the problem, why not have everyone adopt UTC? Every programmer who has ever dealt with time deltas will give you a big hug.

Good thing you posted, otherwise people would have read the article thinking it was brand new and downloaded an app they already had.

I use Path (mostly) for pictures of my kids. Path is invite/opt-in which makes it easy to share with only the family and friends who are interested. I don't want everyone on Facebook seeing my family photos any more than they want

You too can be like Zuckerberg, by becoming employee #336 at a company rebranded in 2009 as a startup!

Yep, that's what I meant by "accessible" too. But with Hamachi, there's a central service for client authentication. With freelan, peers authenticate directly via signed crts.

It's similar in that it's peer-to-peer, but doesn't require an auth/directory server to establish connections. If any known peer is accessible, the two can authenticate directly.

With freelan, once the client has established a connection with any other known and accessible freelan client, a direct client-client connection can be made to anyone on the network, even if they are behind a NAT/firewall. I believe it

I'd be very interested to check it out if it lands on GitHub. I don't think I'd be much of a contributor up front, I'm still getting my head around all the acronyms tossed around VPN networking, but I have a hobby projec

The kickstarter video mentions using audio io to reduce cost. Using USB would require a microcontroller and the usb interface. The microphone jack is used for scanning, so as long as your device has 16 bit audio out, I'm assuming you c

Looks like you can opt-out of the relay service. From the very bottom of the article: Traffic Relay ... You can opt out of this, but it could result in peers not being able to network with each other.

I'll get excited about stickers and a store when there's an API to back up the years of content I'm generating in Path. I'll even use the store to pay for access to the API. Sent a support request over the weekend asking directly, hope they

For anyone who plans to set this up on a site that gets moderate traffic, here's an example Raven config that helps weed out exceptions caused by 3rd party scripts and browser extensions: https://gist.github.com/impressiver/5092952 I init

Hearing a few convert stories over the past few months, I'm getting the impression that Google is evolving at a steady pace and is now at par with the revolution that iOS created when it first debuted. Seems like Android is going to continu

Maybe I'm the only one who missed the memo, but in case anyone else is wondering what a hash is doing in JS: "When writing (in text, not in JavaScript) about properties on specific prototypes, you may use the JavaScript notation, foo.protot

On my iPad and the idle visuals look great, but it doesn't get past "loading" (no audio) and I can't click the github link. I'll have to check it out on my computer when I go back inside.

Oops, you're right - replied too quickly. It's the plugins site that is in flux, not the API. And I linked the wrong post, which is still irrelevant: http://blog.jquery.com/2011/12/08/what-is-happening-to-the-j... I'm going to delete my o

Web 1.0 was not as beautiful as you remember. Most websites had blinking text, bordered tables, under-construction icons and pictures of cats. Around 1998 people started to realize there was more power than just serverside includes and hype

This seems a bit like asking to "pay what you want for a free sample." I understand that it's not intentional, but when Radiohead and other world-famous recording artists are offering "pay what you like" for entire albums, and most book sto

IntelliJ Idea Ultimate is by far my favorite Java IDE. The community version (free version) is still good and updates are frequent, but you don't get as much of the "I" in IDE. Eclipse is free and has a huge user base, lots of plugins, and
