True but, in my opinion, inherent to Twitter. Just because some algorithm decides some tweet is 'important' doesn't mean I'll agree :)

Have you considered using a client that doesn't stay scrolled all the way to the top (TweetBot has a toggle for "pin to top" for example)? I would find what you're describing pretty much a deal breaker in my use of twitt

My first real side-project-turned-business is/was Bugrocket ( https://bugrocket.com , launched March 2011, bug tracking for small dev teams). Subscription-based and grows very slowly, it mostly hovers around $500/month i

It's this kind of thing that gave us such a quick transition to Amazon and 'PaaS' providers becoming ubiquitous. You can avoid all of these problems and decisions by just giving your various certificates and stuff to ELB or H

I've done the same thing in a few prototype-style apps I've built too. Not only do you not need to store passwords, but you can just ignore a whole area of UX. Enter email to signup -> link gets emailed. Enter email to login -&

I think your logic is flawed a bit here. A lot of people absolutely will dismiss suggestions like "keep your IO functions minimal/separate" and "you should test your code" and etc essentially saying "it works

Seems to me that the real/only reason for SPJ not to use Comic Sans is that using it distracts people (in general, since he notes that he gets lots of comments about it, I'm not personally distracted by it) from what he's say

A good reminder to go and tell your friends/family "Run, don't walk, to backup all of your important data right now." and hand them an external hard drive. 2FA + a password manager and whatnot would be a good idea, too :

How about: a time tracker, HN clone/basic forum, simple Google Analytics clone, a password vault/manager (did this one recently, it was a lot of fun, https://github.com/rfunduk/mrpassword ). Or how about some

Actually you can check if an account is verified! Here's a snippet in Ruby I use to check. It's not perfect, but it catches a lot of cases: # ... def initialize @request = PaypalAdaptive::Request.new end

You can make an API call to check the status of a transaction very easily. When my users are redirected back to my site (thanks page, or similar), I check if their transaction is completed, if not, I kick off an every-five-seconds check whi

Is the salary enough to live comfortably on in the area whee the employee lives? Do the co-founders seem like they'd be good people to work with? Does the product/work sound appealing to work on for 2+ years? Is there an opportuni

Some people might be too curious to leave it alone, as in a few determined explorers won't be deterred, but maybe they'll avoid settling right on top of it at least? Personally my first reaction to the Curse of King Tut would be &

Yea that's fair enough. This is an initial release so I'm sure they are reading these comments and working to improve their site/docs/etc. You're right that it's basically for Backbone users: > We <3 Bac

A little harsh, don't you think? The link is to a blog post - not a landing page - and it seems to me it can contain whatever the author wanted it to. The post wasn't submitted here by anyone from &yet, but by Jeremy Ashkenas

I've instantly fallen in love with (the mono version of) this font. One thing that is a bit unfortunate though is it seems to have some odd line-height/descender thing going on. In Sublime Text 2/3 I can fix this easily with:

This, and the (at least practical) inability to read the source of 1PasswordAnywhere (which I often want to use from a machine in my house/a friends house without 1password installed, etc) is why I made Mr. Password. It also uses Dropb
