I remember hearing this back in the late 90s and I came into my high school biology class and mentioned it. The teacher was kind enough not to call me a moron but he made clear he didn't believe it, and I didn't (and don't) r

I wrote about this exact thing. If they gave me a Google Reader-esque product as part of their subscription service for VPN etc., it would get me to subscribe.

Agreed. It turns out the data they report from actually has that exact thing in it: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/tables/2020-... -- I believe this change rate appears calculated against the

Wow, I've had one since 2007. I've even quoted that exact line. And yet I've never actually done it and am glad I haven't.

I recently unearthed one of my old Hipster PDAs from college. It was buried in the back of a drawer. Quite the bit of nostalgia as I leafed through it.

Most of mine are one-time use or limited use. I have a few ongoing dev projects for personal use: - My smaller blog is a (poorly) written CMS that makes a static site. Almost zero reason other than I wanted the experience of building my own

What a blast from the past. I was just on the very tale end of BBSs but those were wild times. I remember logging into a local PC wholesaler my father worked with because their BBS had what is today a very not-politically correct blond joke

This was a huge eye opening moment for me. I thought it was about using a deck, and I always found it less than fantastic. Now that I am making my own deck, it is far more useful.

As a programming project and a need for something to constantly fiddle with, I decided to make my own CMS that generates html files for the website. It's far from competing with Wordpress, but I've build out a templating system fo

When I first read the headline, I thought it said GitHub and I was very perplexed. Realizing it is GrubHub makes much more sense and is interesting.

Years ago I did something kind of similar. I created my own Twitter client (never public and now defunct) but one of the features was that it would prevent one user from monopolizing my stream by hiding their posts after the three most rece

At the time FF was still behind IE and IE hadn't really adopted extensions yet, I think. It's a bit fuzzy how we got there, this wasn't like a formal business plan and analysis, this was some college guys in the dorms chewing

I had a similar idea in college which was to take the actual traffic for pages into account for search ranking (this was before Google bought whatever Analytics had been called before, I can't remember.) I had thought of it as a server

I'm in my late twenties and I know both brands though I had almost zero interaction with Zagat in any purposeful sort of way. I never sought out a list of Zagat rated restaurants. I did use Frommer's for trip planning though often it was br
