It becomes a problem when vitriolic responses like that (death threats, etc) are taken as indicators of the entire community. It absolutely needs to stop, and we all need to work together to stop it. However, most people aren't insen

In Chromium this initiates an automatic download as soon as I open the URL. Yuck. Otherwise, cool service.

Yea, I love Prime videos. The author here is extrapolating about the entire Prime subscribership based on his personal experiences. That's a terrible way to write an article.

I really like the idea, but the name is somewhat offputting, especially if I were in a position where I had to sell it to management (luckily I'm not). Will definitely give it a whirl, but I strongly suggest considering a name change

So Fez underwent a somewhat significant API overhaul in the last few weeks. Now it is much more of a DSL, but is also much more expressive. I'm worried that perhaps it's a bit too esoteric. I am confident in every design decision

Oh, then it just loaded extremely slowly for some other reason... Obviously I didn't actually read the article before commenting. :P

Not too bad, actually. For a moment I was thinking about how it might be useful to embed large datasets directly in the page, but it wouldn't be even remotely worth the sacrifice in usability. Just make one extra HTTP request and give

Oh man, this was amazing. I just starting giggling and broke out into full out hearty laughter because it was so fun. I couldn't play more than 30 seconds, mind you, because it was infuriatingly difficult, but amazing nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the poster already talked to them. This wasn't a question of how to proceed legally, nor was it a complaint about the company. It was an appeal to the startup community about the morals of suing, potentially successfully

I had very good support for mental health troubles at NYU. I never harmed myself, so it is very possible that I would have had a different experience in this student's shoes, but it did wonders for me to feel cared for. I can only imag

I haven't seen Brunch before, but it still seems to suffer from the same major flaw as Grunt, which is no sense of file-file relationships: "Brunch recompiles and concats all your stuff automatically on any change, headlessly. No

1) Since it only does the work that needs to be done, you can safely 'watch node fez.js' and if there have been no file changes, nothing will be done! This won't work on Windows, of course, but then I'm not sure if anyth

This is a really cool idea! I can almost see a website existing whose sole purpose is the auction and sale of software technology.

It's not really an issue for me. I have four cards and don't mind having them all in my wallet. What seems to have happened is a bunch of people with the same idea panicked and put out releases at the same time to avoid looking li

This is interesting, but not really much more practical than etching (albeit cleaner). It's a neat proof of concept and that's about it.

We try really hard to come up with ways to use technology to create value, but there are heaps of opportunities like this one to curate a product by hand and deliver value derived from your knowledge and experience, rather than some clever

I like this but I don't like that it's branded as a Medium clone. Be that as it may, I wish it would stand on its own as a unique solution despite the apparent similarities.
