hm... only support for java and python. I hope they release a version for Go since it is Google's language.

And also adjust the showerhead spray setting based on the individual.

well if we're going down that route, the water should start heating up as i step into the bathroom.

water to turn on when i step in the shower, turn off when i walk out or give some sort of signal

> Does your idea solve a problem that people actually have?

Also make sure to talk to your target customers. Make sure they agree that your product solves a problem for them.

super cool!

I agree with so much of what you said in your article. I'm trying to make it in LA for a lot of the same reasons why you're working in Canada.

> At the end of the day, my advice to Canadian startups is to stay in Canada

I think this can apply to many cities outside of the silicon valley bubble.

keeping it a secret until its actually released?

Nice. Time to use to_hash.

I recall reading an article somewhere that said Pinterest's layout is working for them because women love the infinite scroll. Since their users are mostly female, that's probably another reason why it works for them.

This is what happens when an employee KNOWS he/she can't be fired. The USA needs to seriously look at how they handle government employees. They get away with too much bs because it's hard for them to get fired.

this app would be AWESOME

I really hate using LivingSocial/Groupon because it seems like the business owners always HATED taking these deals. I always feel like I'm being treated differently because I'm not paying the actual price. One time when I used one of these deals, I even heard the employee say to another employee "... another #$#@$#@ groupon deal....". If they didn't like people using the deals, why bother signing up for it?

I can't wait for these daily deal business to go away because I don't think it benefits anyone.

This is so awesome. I loved Diablo growing up and it's amazing to see that it could be recreated using js. I'm interested to see what other games people will make using js.

I think the trap that a lot of entrepreneurs fall into is trying to create the next billion dollar company. It's better to start small. Find your niche and solve an actual problem for that niche. If it really is a good product, it will eventually grow on its own.

I might watch if it actually depicts life in SV. I just hope they don't go too crazy just to get higher ratings.

As a fairly new programmer (< 1 year), I think the best thing for a beginner to do is to just pick a route and go with it. At the end of the day, both stack are going to have a lot of similarities. It all comes down to personal preference which will be determined after some time.

I started learning testing using rspec. Now I'm starting a new job where they use test unit for testing. The transition has not been too difficult because the difference between the two are too crazy.

If you pick one route and learn the basics, you shouldn't have too much trouble switching over to the other.

It would be great if researchers and scientists can search for every single published journal articles on Academia.edu. I used to be a chemist and my college had a great search system. After I graduated, I lost access to that database and have been looking for a tool that will allow me to look for articles.

I was in the same boat nearly a year ago. I had knowledge of HTML and CSS and not much else. Since then, I've learned Ruby, Rails, and a little of Objective-C. I feel so much better now that I have the confidence to build anything I want.

I definitely recommend anyone that wants to learn programming to go all in and pick up a few languages.

Ruby is a good language to learn. There are a massive amount of resources out there for people trying to learn. Check out codecademy or codeschool for their tutorials. They can really help you learn the basics.

Another tip is try to actually build some basic programs. You can learn so much more from building something than reading about it.

It might be better to just have a horizontal line to show you where you are. The rest of the visual experience is kind of unnecessary.

I usually avoid using the handle and open the door by pulling on the top of the door. Even when I open a door, I try to pick a place that's least likely to be used by other people.

C is a great language. I first learned programming with C back in college. After a few years off, I decided to pick up programming again but there aren't many resources for learning C. Most of the tutorials out there are for Ruby and Python. I have been learning Ruby for a while now and I'm now starting to go back to using C.

I think if there were more educational websites teaching C, more people would use it. I think new programmers will appreciate coding a lot more if they learned C instead of using Ruby.

most people I know use the app folder function

do the typical bathroom stuff, eat breakfast, drive to work.
