No - the point is not "Let's hear Yagan's reason for donating" - the point is: why are we making political opinions an issue for tech CEOs? Do we really want a world where where CE…

It's remotely the same thing because it's about him supporting politics that many sharply disagree with. It shows the hypocrisy of grabbing pitchforks and torches and pushing out a brilliant…

Just to chime in if colin is reading these, the 7-day deletion period is pretty much what is stopping me from joining up to have an extra backup in addition to dropbox. Fully agree with Patrick on tha…

Source code for anyone interested : https://github.com/jendewalt/jennifer_dewalt/search?q=feelin... This is all part of Jennifer Dewalt's "180 web sites in 180 day…

One thing to consider is that some of the April Fools' "jokes" are pretty awesome hacks in disguise, such as this year's "Headdit" with actually working head gesture reco…

Link poster here - oops, sorry about that, I didn't know it wasn't meant for public distribution. I don't even remember where I found it, I think I saw it linked in a slide of a hackath…

I think their idea tends to be to try and unify everything and provide a "toolbelt" for developing with it. At least that is the impression I get when I read their FAQ: https://do…

Here's a great ELI5 summary by reddit user "underachiever" on the reddit discussion page linked to by p4bl0. Can't vouch for its accuracy, but it at least makes a bit of sense to m…

What puzzles me is that there has been extremely little improvement to Siri since the first introduction 2.5 (!) years ago - at least, none that I have noticed. That is a long time for there to not be…

Note the comment in the source code which just appeared: <!-- put announce for mtgox acq here -->

Wow, just to add an anecdotal data point in the other direction: this is the first I heard of the game freezing up, it has never happened to me, and I have played many, many hours. It's been comp…

After countless hours of playing, I have pretty much "solved" the game on its hardest setting ("Normal"), so I am really, really looking forward to a massive, free add-on I'd …

Great stuff, thanks for the info. This is not the first time I've heard of this strategy, and it seems to be quite profitable: "hook" a large number of users with a no-strings-attached …

I would assume that the $1000 are covered by the hiring company paying them a higher sum for the referral of the applicant. If the $1000 are coming from a larger sum being paid to them by the hiring c…

Congratulations! What did you do to market the app? Just stick it in the store? Or did you get blogs to do write-ups? It seems like discovery has always been a huge problem for app developers.
