Yes! I totally agree with everyone else about Driscoll strawberries (pretty but not sweet, a bit tart), but their blackberries are awesome (although only sometimes!). I've had the small organic ones that are wonderful, but also the big conventional monstrous ones that just melt in your mouth that are sweet, but closer to wine than the small ones. I've also had just mediocre blackberries from them - I think mediocre blackberries are better than mediocre strawberries though.

I'm with you. I'd only want this sporadically, like when I'm camping and traveling or to give as gifts. I don't need it on a monthly basis and I feel conflicted about having to sign up only to cancel (and how easy is that?) within a month.

Their meals were not just unhealthy, they were off the mark entirely. For example, they had a partnership with Stouffer's. As in, reselling Stouffer's lasagna. Like the same Stouffer's frozen lasagna I can buy at Safeway that feeds 8 people. At that point I just laughed and closed my app. Why would I ever choose to pay a premium for that?

I found it so funny and off putting I sent a screenshot to my friends: http://imgur.com/He7Hfkj

Also, this is a great perspective from Twitter's only black engineer in a leadership position: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/52-raising-the-bar

Beautiful! I can totally see myself using this. I'm sure it's in the works, but I'd pay to have more reminders and (maybe) reminders that are also customizable for a particular activity. So like, a dollar for an additional reminder (and so on).

Patrick McKenzie touches on it a bit in his blog: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/11/07/doing-business-in-japan/. Search for the part where it says "Don't have a wife?"

Hey Leo, just a small copy error: 'if your heart of heart' should be 'in your heart of hearts'

The article actually says not to use Windex, it strips the surface. I'm wondering if Expo whiteboard cleaner has the same effect. We use Windex so I'm guessing that for us at least, it probably has something to do with the ghosting getting progressively worse.

I really like what you've done with your setup, that black moulding looks really sharp.

No problem... I mostly remembered what I lost, it's just always kind of a wtf thing... I actually did send you guys an email, I think you'll know which one it is! Didn't mean to be overly critical, I was pretty happy with the experience otherwise.

OMG I filled in all of the fields and realized they needed to save individually and when I saved one it reset all the other fields!!! Seriously, so much effort lost.

Also, a lot of the jobs link to an external website, so I spent time on my application for not much...

Two Things: 1. The link to view the Github projects sites are wrong, they attach the prose.io domain to the actual domain.

2. It's cool that there is a publish button that shows if it has been published, but then when I clicked on it, it said it would be unpublished. I know I have to save first, but that was kind of bad UX. Also when I click it again to set it back to publish, the record still appears to be dirty, with changes to save. Kind of unsettling since I was just browsing to see the functionality.

One more thing: Is there a service (hosted or otherwise) that has this kind of web based editing with a preview of MY website, not just the plain Markdown? I like that non devs could edit it, but we also have our own CSS that could change the way it looks (video embedding, etc.).

I even imagined reading his response to you in his voice...

I've been trying to get my friend's to use Google+ since we all spend so much time in Hangouts and Gmail (where you can see the G+ notifications). Hangouts is probably the best part of the "G+ revolution", and they really dropped the ball on the integration with G+ (I can't have an event attached to a hangout, etc.) as well as developer relations for building cool apps with Hangouts Chat (not just video). I hope that this means a more focused and deliberate shift to focusing on Hangouts. Hangouts video is great and chat is good, but could be so much better.

I've been thinking about doing this in the upcoming years. I'm guessing you're speaking from experience, if so, can you elaborate more?

...by constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility!

True, but sometimes there really is just not enough electricity to go around. Consider power outages due to natural disasters or even extreme load on the grid. In Texas, we have a handful of days each summer where the grid is maxed out in the mid-afternoons and ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) will come on the radio begging people to conserve their usage. This kind of product could mitigate that. There are also a lot of nuanced things that go on with utilities that influence their decisions: the electricity markets, regulations, issues at plants, industrial users, etc. Us sweating it out at our individual households don't mean a lot to them in the grand scheme of things.

Right, it's only 2048-like. I think it being a derivative of 2048 doesn't mean it has to follow all the same rules. Anyways, I assumed the smaller grid was because you had the ability to wait for things to decay if you filled up the grid. It's merely what I was expecting, but maybe no one else feels the same way.

Should you get a game over if you still have radioactive elements on the board? I think you should still be allowed to keep going, especially since you have less tiles and you are moving around with the assumption that things are going to start disappearing.

That list is pretty good actually and I normally hate Cosmo. I have definitely been this person: "Hey, do you guys want to get together and play Settlers of Catan?" turns into "This was really fun. We should do this every night." turns into "Please don't leave me. Ever."

Since you can probably work remotely, can you go stay with a good friend or family member, preferably in a different city? You need someone to talk to who will be nearby all day long.

Sometimes when I really don't want to work, I have to psyche myself into it, like I'll start watching a new episode of a favorite TV show, slowly open Sublime in another monitor, look at my issues list, start writing a little bit of code, and keep Hulu on autoplay. I find that there is nothing more emotionally distracting than a really good TV show (which is really bad when you are trying to be productive, but not so bad when you're suffering). I think the key is getting past opening Sublime, once you start working, you'll have short bouts of not thinking about the ex.

Also, could you go work at a coffee shop with a friend? They can make sure you at least go through the motions of starting to work and you have to compose yourself while out.

I really feel for you man, I know it must be really rough. I hope you feel better soon :)

EDIT: I just thought about the Girls plot line where Charlie makes an app where it costs you every time you text or call your ex. Would any of these apps help? http://techland.time.com/2013/08/24/ex-lover-begone/

How could you not not have? Everyone knows what feigned surprise is!

For the same reason a lot of companies block USB ports on company computers: so you don't take work material without their knowledge.

I would agree that what she was doing in her 180 days project probably was not software engineering, but what about what she is doing with YumHacker? If that isn't considered software engineering, then a lot of us here are not software engineers.

I thought so too, but habosa may have a point. There was another (badly written) TechCrunch piece about a startup from where I'm from (in the US, so probably all native speakers) and there were a lot of well-wishing, hiphiphooray comments.

I did read in the story you were a world class snowboarder which is awesome. I was just trying to say that I'm disappointed with the quality of the story that TechCrunch has published about your product. It's not very well written and didn't explain your product well. But it doesn't reflect poorly on you, just on TechCrunch. Best wishes and good luck!

What's going on here...

What did I just read? I have really, really low standards for web content, but this seriously reads like a fifth grade book report. "Povio is for now 100% focused on growth. It actually sounds like Povio has some kind of shot in the space."

The whole title sounds a bit weird. What about "Kayak for childrens' camps and activities" or instead of Kayak, Hipmunk? Since they are in YC, they should totally mention that in the title as well.

"All other sites are derivatives of this derivative, and should be used with extreme caution." Que??? I don't think all other sites are derivatives of your derivative, unless you were joking? I think you accidentally double downed on the original disclaimer. But, this is really cool, already showed my friends!

On my team, when we are sketching out new infastructure, we'll fork each other's gists, which while good, could probably be more elegant since the fork experience isn't as powerful in Gists as it is in Github compare view. Perhaps this is the beginning to a cool project for that. Would rather have a ping pong game though.

I can't imagine how a pure CSS version would work...
