I prefer Oren's approach: writing about the experience—provoking discussion, even outrage, and eventually change. I've lived overseas many times, but my simple advice when making life choice…

Thanks for sharing that experience. Any idea why you might have set the machine off? Trying to get a feel for how they've balanced how sensitive to make them. I think there's been too errors…

If events like Oklahoma City, Boston, and Sandy Hook have taught us anything, it's that terrorism doesn't have an ethnic profile. It's not only insulting, but also extremely unsafe to a…

How is that any worse than standard commercial air travel? Plus, really, you are talking about a thirty-minute journey.

> On frameworks: "Why should we use computers like this, simultaneously building a house of cards and confining computing power to that which the programmer can fit in their head? Is there a w…

On this topic, I thought I could use a service like BrowserStack to do all of my Windows/IE testing in the cloud. However, I found that the latency was still too much. I agree that you have to ru…

External dependencies on that page? Anything being pulled from a domain that might have made the list? It might not be specific to your page, it might be on a JS library you are including.

I take a bit of issue with the editorial title on this post. Can someone please define "high-value app"? I know on smartphones everything is an app, but these from Agant are mostly auxiliary…

Here's what I think is interesting. When design works, when it's value is immediately obvious (like the magsafe power connector), very little is ever said about motivations. But when design …

As a boss, there are at least two things you never joke about: employees getting paid and employees getting fired. It's not worth the risk that there will be one person in the office your humor d…

I think he mostly means the clarity of a screen capture vs. a shaky shot of a physical screen. I like the indy feel of this but it did give me a headache to watch (even though it's only a few sec…

This is a beautifully crafted announcement. Very clear, matter-of-fact, and without that all too common feeling of spin. It certainly helps that they are doing right by their customers in fulfilling t…

Thanks! That link color doesn't show up well on my display; didn't realize PDI was a vendor rather than an industry spec of some kind. This is what I needed.

> To get started with ePaper development you will need a display and the RePaper Extension board As someone new to ePaper development, where/how do you get a compatible display?

The way they position Brython is pretty off-putting and kind of confuses the issue. CoffeeScript page: "CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript." Brython page: "Brython is desi…

That's pretty nice. What powers the file preview? Edit: Ah, it's the Google Docs viewer. That's a handy part of the Google Docs service that a lot of site owners are not aware of.

My question: What exactly is AirB&B trying to solve for here? Is it safety for the host? Legal requirements? Payment fraud and chargebacks? As mentioned in the article, it feels like increased ver…

Rackspace: "Up to 8 checks free from Rackspace Cloud Monitoring, for 24x7x365 monitoring of URL content, port, and ping" [1] "File-level backups. No charge per-server. File storage: $0.10/GB/month. Ba…

Ok, on a second visit, I realized the homepage scrolls and there are a few points below the top part. I guess the big idea is that it's a lot lighter?

One thing a lot of these projects miss: have a page or section explaining your unique benefits. Make direct comparisons to Bootstrap, Foundation, or other known frameworks and mention how your philoso…

Is Middleman (middlemanapp.com) an intentional omission? (Meaning, did it fail one of your requirements for review?)

Google wants you to participate in an "identity system that follows you everywhere", so they can learn your behavior and preferences and show you relevant, timely ads. Facebook wants exactly the same …

Garden State was not a perfect movie. But it was a very good one, and I didn't find it as self-conscious as you did. Meanwhile, I think your read on the rewards is wrong—-they are meant to be a bit to…

Looks like it uses WebRTC, at least for audio and avatars. The state of the DOM as it changes is handled elsewhere. Is this FF / Chrome only at the moment?

This is fantastic. There have been a few times where I've thought to myself it would be handy to have a view of server-side events in the inspector. Very eager to spend some time later today to get th…

One interesting and important bit about how Firebase works is that all write operations to the data happen locally, and then they are synced back to Firebase (and to other connected clients) on a best…

Yes, it does. "Firepad has no server dependencies and instead relies on Firebase [hosted service] for real-time data synchronization." So the front-end editor portion of it is open source, but the dat…

Does anyone else remember the Smart Displays that Microsoft tried to popularize around the time of the TabletPCs? They didn't have wireless power, but that certainly wasn't because no one has ever ent…

This is one of the first browser-based UIs for design that I'd actually use. Impressive stuff. Question: Is there (or will there be) a way to edit the content of a clickable element (button, link)?

One thing the article didn't discuss: the massive amount of data that driverless cars will collect and store. The "automotive black boxes" will help us analyze and simulate accidents in ways we just c…
