Would be nice if the dates in the selection range were highlighted, and unselectable dates (eg. later than the end date in left calendar, earlier than start date in right calendar.) were grayed out.

I'm surprised these companies didn't give up and start selling in other countries, like Canada or the UK, to begin with.

I agree with most of this issues, but it sounds like his editor doesn't have auto import and jump to definition like Eclipse. eg complaint about nested packages. (not that I agree that this is a necessary class): instead of MuffinMail.Muffi

Wow, genius. Good point, it doesn't need to be wireless to look good.

That's why I find it's much better to find and follow someone with similar tastes to you that posts a lot on chowhound or other forums. Never really got Yelp. Taste in food is too subjective to bother with aggregate data.

He takes the time to link to "patent medicine" and "swamp root" but not to a single TED talk illustrating his point? Lame.

Haven't looked into it, but supposedly with BB6+ you can make apps with HTML5/JS. I switched back from iPhone for the bold 9900. It's come a long way.

Wait, so your saying your devs aren't allowed to listen to music through their headphones? Inconceivable.

"Don't make me think" is a pretty good book on this topic.

Skype works pretty well for small teams too. One advantage is you can bring customers into the chat seamlessly if they already have a skype account.

Sure, but as the guy talks about in the article, he is hands on. He just spends a certain fraction of his time trying to maintain a global picture of the project and applying insights that come from that. I haven't worked on a project with

I like this quote: Perhaps my biggest advantage is that, while I do spend some time coding, when I think about our software I am not constrained by the fear that I will have to implement my own ideas. It may seem crass, but as someone who

It's not supposed to be something you learn from, but something you reference. Really? That's the exact opposite of how I think of it. An encyclopedia is something you learn an initial shallow understanding from. A field specific referenc

Well, I'd seen the term 'Continuous Linear System' somewhere and came to this page, where it starts out as: Consider the continuous linear time-variant system <equations!> so, bad.

Thanks! Way too often I find a math article jumps straight into the equations without a good overview that can be understood by someone without a math background. Example applications, for example, would greatly reduce the abstract nature o

The last part was the most insightful for me. Personally I am pretty damn sure that WSGI no longer carries the importance it had a few years ago. I think it no longer makes sense to merge different applications on the WSGI level together,

Does this also explain why everyone still uses console BBS's in Taiwan? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibbs/id309616952?mt=8 I've been trying to find an explanation for this.

Rather than building these data analysis/visualization programs from scratch each time, my thought is that scientists should instead be writing them as modules for a data workflow application like RapidMiner. If you haven't heard of RapidMi

This is why I think, rather than every data analysis/visualization program being written from scratch with it's own custom UI and I/O, formatting etc, these programs should be written as modules to a data workflow program like RapidMiner t

If I add a calendar event to google calendar I'm still a bit surprised when I later notice it in my iPhone calendar. Same with updating contacts across devices.

I think it's fine if you're doing python all day long, but I'm using Python, Java, PHP, Obj-C and Javascript each at least once a month on a variety of paid and personal projects. Like I said, I have enough trouble keeping those syntaxes st

Have to deal with enough languages as it is. Don't want to further add to my brain mess by learning Python 3 syntax just yet.

I know a lot of people support learning Python before C, but I bet most of those people are old enough that they learned C first. I think it's really interesting to hear the experiences of someone who did Python first.

> Actually, the 10 app limit impressed me. I don't want my apps as #13 in middle of 25 variations of the same app from another developer. $20 a product just isn't expensive. Completely agree. It's like if email spammers had to pay 1 cen
