This! Any graphical history for git that doesn't let you show all branches at once is trash. (Like the one in Visual Studio) The interactive rebase editor in Git Graph is very nice too. I also love how smoothly you can…
You have no donate link... if you're gonna be on big sites like HN, you might as well have a donation link so that hopefully you break even on App Engine.
Actually, whether admitting it is dumb or not depends a lot on whether you're dealing with an objective or subjective situation, and the odds * costs of being caught at wrong answers. For an example of a subjective…
It would be nice if you could tell if there is any local activity before signing up. I'm not giving a random web site my Facebook or email when most likely no one else local is signed up anyway.
I have to disagree there - there are other approaches to market-based funding of the creation of cultural communications that are not advertising based. For a very successful current example, see Kickstarter.
A very quick approximation seems to indicate it still isn't feasible. I saved 2 32x32 JPEGs using Gimp at quality 30. One is a cutout of a face from a photo, the other is random noise generated using the filter in Gimp.…
The reason that is not available is that the universe of options for beginning programming has exploded since the old boot into BASIC days, and there is no longer agreement on the easiest way to begin programming. As…
Isn't the ability to sell bitcoins also important? Unless you think farmers in Colombia and electric companies in California are going to start accepting bitcoins directly?
Hmm, perhaps you should consider a few differences between so called wage "slavery" and chattel slavery as practiced in pre-civil war US: 1) Modern workers are not owned from birth. 2) Debt is not forced upon you…
It is case-sensitive, try the following instead: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=Google%2CMicrosof...
One thing I don't like is nothing on Buxfer's site tells you they are dead - I was considering signing up as a new customer, but suspicious due to the lack of blog activity and the questions if they are dead on…
Oops, nevermind, silly suggestion. It's already been done, you just have to Google "basic interpreter javascript" to find it. http://www.calormen.com/Applesoft/ - Starts right at the interpeter http://www.ngbasic.com/ -…
I have 2 suggestions: 1) How hard would it to write a JavaScript/HTML port of it? I don't see why anyone in the modern day and age should need to download and install a program to play with BASIC. It should be possible…
At what age do you think Alice and Mindstorm are usable? The main thing that catches my attention on Alice is it is targeted at High School or College level, but the article talks about his 11 year old son. Where are…
But I don't see anything here that blocks the "check in" approach, if anything, it makes it easier to implement. Instead of needing to develop your own app for each mobile platform and using their location API, you just…
No, it is two different dichotomies. One is one-ancestor vs. multi-ancestor, with the first being correct. The second is no gene transfer between descendants vs. gene transfer between descendants, with the second being…
You completely left out the "if they do happen to play sports" in the actual article, which heavily colors non-sports players view of the article. I definitely agree that many engineers and programmers play sports...…
I turn off my work laptop every day before undocking it to bring it home. I believe HP does not claim that this model supports hot docking. Also, if I forget to turn it off, it gets really hot in my sealed laptop bag...
$6,900 per panel adds up to about $3 million per lane-mile. Typical rural highway costs for new highway are $3 - $9 million per lane-mile, with urban highways costing $5 - $20 million per lane-mile. (per…
I'm curious how you know its not common. I know there are multiple posts on the suggestion board about it, including my own. (Work browser had login credentials cached, but I couldn't figure out what I used to log in at…
The ability to tell how you are logging in and request lost login information. For example, I think I used OpenID to log in, but I might have used Google instead. I don't know which. I tried to log in from home, and I…
"There's no reason to believe there is any limit on the amount of newly created wealth consumers can absorb" I think Michael H. Goldhaber's work on the "Attention Economy" gives reason to believe there may be a limit.…
