Very slick analysis!

No Diggity is a great song, but the song it samples might be even better: Grandma's Hands by Bill Withers.

This is really cool to see an American with such potential.

The explosion of Crossfit is exposing a lot of people to Olympic lifting. However, Crossfit's programming can be incredibly dangerous - encouraging Joe Sixpack to do such complex and technical lifts "AMRAP" (As Many Reps as Possible) is a recipe for serious injury.

Cool! Looks like they're free to use with attribution.

If you know someone with an alcohol problem, encourage them to seek help.

This is a good reminder that tech is about improving people's lives, not the latest NoSQL-Node-React-NextShit-OMGYouDontUseThisYet. Sometimes I need to remind myself.

Excellent product - glad to see them do well. Used them for a couple clients can definitely recommend.

I just ran their example (Rails): https://commits.io/builds/de927875458

For those of you who like me who aren't sure what this is about: Atom - text editor from Github, Io.js - node.js fork.

This is a wonderful speech. Wish we still had him with us.

It's interesting to see how other folks tweak their machines, but this is a highly personal thing and you're likely to break things.

The older I get, the more I leave things alone. Swim with the current.

Can someone explain to a layman why this is significant? I'm genuinely curious.

"Determination is by far the strongest attribute of successful entrepreneurs, so stay focused, and keep going."

That's it.

Poetry is often about pain and torment. :)

Nice gimick, straight from the Tim Ferriss school of language.

I've run 30-40K through Stripe over the last several months for a couple consulting clients with no issues whatsoever.

Stripe does what it says on the tin.

These guys are a dream to deal with versus my old set up (Authorize.net and First Data). Those guys are thieves who nickel and dime you to death with cryptically-named mystery fees.

I'm in the US FWIW.....

Similar to the "Knowing where to put the X" story: http://www.engineering.com/DesignSoftware/DesignSoftwareArti...

Also, the NASA vs Russian space pen vs pencil.

Excellent service doesn't go out of style.

Statamic tries to blend the best of both worlds (client-friendly UI + no database): http://statamic.com/

I've been working on a an Angular app recently and have found your videos quite helpful. Thank you!

This overstates was the vast majority of clients are capable of. The very low-end is definitely eroding though and it's a good thing.

I've used a ton of CMSs and blogging engines and think Squarespace is the future of where this is headed.

ExpressionEngine is quite nice and packs a punch for $300. Much more elegant than WP, Drupal, or Joomla in my experience. The CodeIgniter PHP framework was extracted from it years back and got quite popular.

I always find it interesting when a methodology XYZ is critiqued its adherents invariably claim "that's not really XYZ."

This is going to be awesome, I feel lucky to live here (double lucky that my neighborhood is a prime target).

I'd love to connect with some hackers in KC to hear how Google Fiber has affected them. Does anyone have any resources about KC startups, what Google Fiber opens up, etc.?

This would be incredible, please happen!

Conversion XL is a great site, I wished I'd discovered it earlier. Thanks for posting this.

I've been wondering when someone would build a nice service like this on top of Stripe. Hope to see more, Stripe is a pleasure to work with.

Evocative writing for a technical post "serpentine" if/else, "rickety door" - I know nothing about iOS and enjoyed reading it.

Zencoder has one of the nicest APIs I've ever used, it would take more than price for me to switch.

Is it me or does is seem like every day either Github or Stripe shipping some sweet new feature?

I need to read less and code more.

That's a nice gesture by O'Reilly. Salute.
