I have a habit of growing my amazon wish list from hacker news comments. I own Zinn's People's History of the US, I can't seem to find The Origin of Politics on amazon. There are many similarly named books, but all slightly d

I'll second MySQL Workbench. For me the other big win over PhpMyAdmin is the security. With PhpMyAdmin, you have to install it on the server you're managing. Which exposes your app to all the security bugs that PhpMyAdmin could po

Ah, okay. I didn't realize they could contain more data. That would make sense. If it only contained space for URLs, like I assumed, having to open a separate app seems like an extra step, but if they contain more information I guess I

Is there a reason neither Chrome, Safari, and now Firefox for iOS have a qrcode reader built in? It seems like to me that would be a no brainer. Is there something technical I'm missing?

I use Adobe Bridge for this [0]. It comes bundled with Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm not sure if you can get it separately, but it does everything your asking about. Also, as someone who shoots in camera raw mode for photography, it&#x2

Bootstrap/Foundation can be great when you don't know a lot and need something that is acceptable now. However, from a gaining experience point of view, those frameworks can get kind of complicated and trying to figure out how som

I used Fedora for about six months as my desktop OS a couple of years ago. It was my first "real" choice using linux. I started with Ubuntu because it was so popular at the time and I wanted to try something new so I chose Fedora

I've used lynda.com for a while and about 6 months ago they started asking me to share that I had completed a course in my linkedin profile. There is no exam or anything just something that said I'd "completed" (watched)

Yea, I'm going to check out PostgreSQL's json storage. >But at the end of the day, what matters is that your product works. With my requirements, I could just write to a flat file and be fine... I seem to like complicating thin

But what about low performance, low transaction? Realistically the stuff I'd use it for wouldn't see much traffic. The big factor for me is schemaless. I don't want to create a new table each time there is an event with simil

Yea, from the good stuff I've read about MongoDB I really want to like it. There's just been so much more negative that I've read.

Awesome, Thanks for the reply. My use cause is barely out of the "toy app" range. We only do a handful of events each year and they only draw around 100 attendants. We're talking a very small amount of data. When you do the P

So let me ask a question. What should I use when I do need a schemaless database? Is NoSQL never the answer? I've got a project that needs to allow clients to create registration forms for different events that my company hosts. A lot

I used this site for a corporate video I had to put together. The music/loops aren't free but they have a decent selection and I was happy with the result. http://www.premiumbeat.com/

I'll second this, but I think there is possibly a huge market for the watch/healthkit integration. As a runner, I'm really excited about the possibilities of a customizable tracker that I don't have to carry in my hand w

It's difficult for me to say. After I wrote the first comment, I remembered hearing long ago that the reason softball pitchers typically don't have arm trouble is that the under handed motion is a natural motion, while overhanded

I don't know about softball, but I played baseball from the time I was 4 until I was 19 and the biggest change in youth baseball has been monitoring pitch counts for youth pitchers. If I remember correctly, Softball pitchers usually ha

The article is an interesting read, but I feel like the author paints the ISPs as knights in shining armor. I particularly have a problem with this line, "But Netflix (NFLX, Tech30) and other bandwidth-hungry applications are forcing b

It seems kind of like a last ditch effort. According to CNN, the speculation is that the death rate is so high that there wasn't much to lose. It sounds like the doctor was conscious and involved in the discussion to administer the dru

I had an idea for something like this during the 2008 Presidential Elections. There was so much hearsay and misdirection that I did not know where to turn when trying to decide who to vote for. My idea was more of a forum where you could so
