Apparently the one app requires permissions for "an overview of your exact location, the ability to make direct calls via your phone and the ability to disable your screen lock." I've never heard of any app being able to make

Reminds me of the 8-bit guy's device he created for manually programming character lcd displays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZRL8luuPb8

It's weird they don't say what year its from. (AFAIK this keyboard mouse combo appeared in 1981).

Hang in there, man. I can totally relate. I too find myself getting tired out at the three year mark at companies, and switching things up has always helped. Although it's easier to not burn the bridge when you switch positions interna

Github has always had a bad history graph. I've always wondered why we can't just have a live Github history graph like in Sourcetree.

Good point. V8 gave us Node.js, right? Also I've been out of the loop for a while now about Firefox. My understanding was Firefox had a pretty bad memory leak for a long time. Was that ever resolved? Edit: Saw your edit. Glad the firef

This is a great, tangible example of how quickly computing has progressed over the last 40 years. Makes me wonder what sort of crazy, fun things we will be able to do in the future when today's technology becomes "retro".

Really cool video. I love it when people teach concepts through using the concepts themselves (like how he shows himself in an accurate Gameboy display matrix and even "fades" the video of himself as he explains how fading worked)

Good time to buy Coinbase stock maybe? They can't possibly go the same way as MTGOX...
