The first (public) web app was a tool for managing large games of Assassin, which we used for about a week and a half to run a class-wide game until someone complained to his parents and the school shut us down. We probably could have finished it out, but once people get scared and start dropping out of an in-progress game, it's hard to keep going.
There's very little speech that's actually illegal in the US. You can't tell outright lies about someone with the intention of hurting them professionally (although it's still a civil matter, and when I say "lies", I mean specifics, e.g. you can't claim in an article that someone dropped out of college if they didn't) and you can't say anything that has a high probability of causing immediate physical harm (e.g. you can't order somebody to shoot someone). That's basically it. When you start talking about publishing photographs or recorded audio, things get a bit more complicated because of copyright laws, and obviously CP is illegal, but strictly in terms of speech, online or off, there are almost no restrictions here.
I actually started developing this but shelved it because I couldn't figure out how to pitch it.
"So what's this app you're building do?"
"Well... have you ever had that problem where you know you recognize an actor from another movie, but you don't know his name, and you don't feel like cross checking the movies' IMDB pages?"
"No."
"Oh. Okay."
In order of priority, it definitely ranks below salary, benefits, how enjoyable the work is, and where the job is located. If my employer happens to be socially conscientious, that's a nice bonus, but I can't see choosing a job based on it.
My approach is to buy a Lenovo with a decent processor and screen size and the lowest memory and storage I can find, then upgrade to 16GB and a SSD, since it's much cheaper to upgrade these parts than to buy pre-assembled with the specs you want.
I wouldn't want to do without a desktop, but I also like having the option of going to a coffee shop or park to work, especially when I'm having trouble staying on task at home.
Have you considered adding dogecoin and/or litecoin? The inflationary nature of dogecoin lends itself to a higher transaction volume than bitcoin, whereas bitcoin inherently encourages hoarding, not to mention the overwhelmingly generous nature of the dogecoin community in general.
Nah. It's neat, but there's no reason for me to go back to it: I just can't imagine ever saying to myself, "You know how I'd like to spend my time? Seeing how people on the internet have answered a random assortment of polls." If I want to know how the general public feels about a specific issue, I'll just google it.
Oh, there's no question that local Apache and Node servers can be valuable tools, but if you're trying to teach your reader something that doesn't strictly require them, why risk alienating people who aren't familiar? How many people who just want to learn how two way binding works are going to see a Node.js server as a "requirement" and move on?
Software and a film script are a bit different though. If source becomes available, anyone can compile and use it. I'm not sure it's fair to the developer if he wrote that code with the intention of selling it and now it's available for free, but at least it's still available. Producing a movie, on the other hand, is well outside of most people's financial capability, and this leak might prevent people who would be capable of turning the script into a film from doing so.
The app can push notifications to your phone, which is nice for regular users, and it can merge with contacts to fill in blank pictures and provide more information. It's not essential, but some of the integration is nice.
I was about to link this to a friend, who has been using Wordpress and expressed interest in learning more about how websites work, and then OP got into installing a local Apache server and using LESS to compile CSS, and I'm afraid it might intimidate her, since she's already hesitant about her capacity for learning this sort of thing. I'm not sure why either was brought up though. If OP is comfortable with these tools and wanted to write about his own experience, I could understand, but for the sake of a tutorial, what benefit does adding these complications, which present a risk of alienating some segment of the tutorial's audience, provide? Unless you need a back end language, you don't need to install a local Apache server; you can run html files directly from whatever folder they're stored in, and if you link with relative paths, you can transfer the whole directory to a live server and it will still work fine, and for the amount of rules a beginner will probably write for a small, personal website, using LESS is probably overkill. Furthermore, anyone who's comfortable with either of these practices would have no problem adapting them to a basic "building a website with a grid framework" tutorial, and everyone else can pick them up later, when their value becomes more apparent.
It reminds me a little of the way every Javascript tutorial I find lately seems to assume that you're running a Node.js server. Outside of maybe the HN crowd, are most people running Node servers? I doubt it. And it's almost never necessary; you don't need Node to configure routing or build some custom directives in Angular, for example, so why insist that people use it?
I have a Nostromo and a Deathadder, but I have my tower hooked up to a 42" LED display at the moment, so I mostly just use a wired a 360 controller and play Civ on my laptop. Brought my Das into the office after my tower basically became an Xbox.
I'm not actually sure how to search with this. Does it only support cities in the UK? I live in the US, and I've tried: [city], [state]; [state], US; just my zip code; [zip code], US and according to the console, they're all returning 500 errors.
I love Crunchbang, but I've found that Openbox often leads to chronic customization syndrome, especially because you have to customize somewhat, so if you're prone to that sort of thing, be careful.
Having a shared pool for Windows Media Player isn't a big deal at all: on Windows 7, you can store any shared music in /Users/Public/Public Music, and Windows Media Player should index it automatically, or you can add it to the list.
Is this really tech news? I'm exposed to this argument daily on Reddit, and it hasn't changed how I feel about anything, except I'm more tired of hearing it. What else do people intend to accomplish? I already treat my fellow humans as equals. Do they want me to pity them?
