Would love to hear your thoughts on Netrunner: Android! Been thinking about getting into it but a bit unsure if it's something my significant other can get into as well.

Are there any product tour libraries that can detect interaction with the application being presented?

Heh, it is a bit. The reason is probably the uncanny valley effect[1].

I agree with you on that. I didn't mean to say that the idea or the video wasn't good.

Maybe this is a nitpick but I'd revise the opening sentance: "There is no better way to learn something than to watch someone else do it".

I think we can all agree that when it comes to programming the _best_ way to learn it is to actually program.

A DigitalOcian.com provider already in the works by johnbender[1].

I've tried several times now and I'm still getting "Manifest file is invalid".

Nice app! If you are going to keep the ads (I'd rather pay something like $1), please show them on the frontpage compared to when I'm reading the article. Also it would be nice if it would not reload the frontpage every time I come back from reading an article.

Think about what kind of games you like to play, choose one of them and try to simplify it down to the bare minimum, no fluff. Then start making the most basic feature and continue from there.

I'm a relatively new Mac user and never used MacPorts. When I search brew I get these results:

$ brew search gcc

apple-gcc42 gcc

homebrew/versions/gcc45 homebrew/versions/llvm-gcc28

I'm a bit confused since I thought that these are gcc. Can someone tell me what those results mean? :S

Could you point out some of the projects that have those beginner type lists? Could be useful as a starting point.

Seems a bit similar to http://ge.tt/ - They also feature a drag-and-drop uploading, with 2GB for free, user registration and an API with wrappers for a few languages. Two features from them that you should maybe consider is a) to automatically start uploading when files are dropped on the site and b) if no file has been dropped on the site and the user clicks the upload button, present them with a file chooser.

Otherwise, nice job. I like the simplicity of the design, but it is a bit bottom heavy because of the big, black button.

Gun.io already has that covered, at least in the States (for now).

Just out of curiosity, what makes Quicksilver more powerful than Alfred?

I agree with that. My first instinct was to click the newspaper names, then I noticed the 'Go' column.

Those old planes will no longer be offered - you'll have to switch to the per month payments when the old subscription.

Wish I could see it. Anyone know if this is going to be broadcast?

"After enabling the survey on a popular post, I had almost 80 responses after just a day. 14% of users preferred screencasts, 41% preferred articles, and 45% thought both were good."

If this popular post was an article, it is not surprising that majority or the survey takers preferred articles since they were already reading an article. This is called sampling bias. How would the result look like if the survey was conducted on a page with a screencast. In that case people might favor screencasts.

It's just honest to state that they are affiliate links, regardless of he deserves the revenue or not.

Trello.com can be adapted for a variety of projects. It's free and is from a respected software firm, Fog Creek.

You are talking about Trello from Fog Creek.

I loved the picture's caption accompanying the article: "Schools will be free to use teaching resources that will equip pupils for the 21st Century". The picture then shows young pupils using aging CRTs. It made me smile :)

Thanks for a great reply. What are you doing today?

Were you an journalist/editor for a magazine related to biochemistry?

BTW, nice looking product. How is the traction? The text in #818181 was a bit hard for me to read, have you done any A/B testing on the main page?

I see, thanks for your answer!

Which field are you consulting in and subject did you get a degree in?

I agree with you on the site's looks, very uninviting... And that damn animated button in the right corner drives me crazy.

Also curious about the hackathon toolkit, what's in it?

I often listen to Sneaker Pimps, Four tet, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Röyksopp and Air... I like to mix it up as well (aka. shuffle)!
