Corsair Gaming S-1 6 years ago

I just wish they'd use better switches in their mice. I'm on my second one, and they suffer from a widespread double click issue. It's an excellent gaming mouse otherwise.

One thing I don't really have much experience in doing is measuring growth. Is this something you have to figure out before avoiding the tarpits?

I find that he mentions the situation occurred "over drinks" a way to make it seem less innappropriate. It's pretty simple, don't hit on women you have a business relationship with. I've seen it happen on multiple occasions and I cringe every time.

Tower 2 12 years ago

Thanks, I didn't realize this. I'll give it another whirl.

Tower 2 12 years ago

I bought Tower before I found out about Sourcetree, and while I enjoyed using it, I found that Soucetree was way more feature rich. Can anyone give me a reason why I should fork over even more dough for an app that I'm not even sure I'd end up using?

Perhaps allow a potential customer to print a single document and have it sent to their own / business address? Something that takes no more than 2 minutes of the customer's time. I think that would be very appealing to people who'd use a service like this but are skeptical.

This is cool. I built something similar to this in Node. You start the tool and it monitors all files in your project folder for changes. Every time you save, it outputs a JSON object of all your tokened comments. The idea was to be able to plug it into another service, like a custom todo list app, or something like this. I haven't quite finished it, but maybe I'll clean it up a bit and push it to github this weekend.

Thanks for the offer!

My main concern is non-CommonJS libraries. I haven't really had any luck with any of the Browserify shim modules out there. Any jQuery plugin that I've used with Browserify I ended up modifying myself to support CommonJS. Even then, I'm not sure I was doing it right.

Any insight?

The title is a bit misleading. Only a small part of the article mentions Browserify. I was hoping for the authors take on the struggles and efficiencies, as I'm at the point where I need to make the decision to use Browserify for my companies client heavy apps.

I've been having an internal struggle regarding the purchase of a BioLite stove. The primary reason I haven't is because of it's weight. As a backpacker, the stove is just way too heavy to carry on a trip (weekend trips, fine - but anything longer it would have to stay behind).

The FlameStower seems much more practical for longer trips because of it's weight / bulk.

I completely agree. Additional (unlimited?) labels would be a serious upgrade to Trello. It's a tool to help people get shit done - which it's very good at - but adding useless features like custom emojis don't assist in the core function.

Good work Tom, Yehuda, and team. I had very difficult time recommending Ember during the transition phase (mostly because the router was impossibly difficult to understand). I wanted to like it so bad, and now I finally think I can. I'm going to reboot the project I was working on and give Ember 1.0 a shot.

While these aren't so much architectures as they are a list of tools, it's fascinating to see which ones successful companies are using.

I like that Trello has such a short list and still runs incredibly fast with a high number of users.

I used a provided XML file. The library I used: https://github.com/peterbraden/node-opencv

I haven't touched the app in about a month, updated the library to the most recent version, and I'm now getting a 100% hit rate. I guess the library was a bit buggy.

Also, these headshots are the ones the players take before the season starts, not action shots. In theory there should be a high hit rate.

I built something like this to automate cropping headshots for players in major sports. I figured it would work flawlessly after I ran a few test images through, but it turns out that it failed detecting a face or gave the wrong coordinates about 20% of the time.

I'm curious to know what the success rate of SeatGeek's process is.

I haven't really been keeping up on WebRTC, so forgive this fairly ignorant question.

Will the framework allow me to create a one to many connection? ie. presentation mode where one person could broadcast their audio / video to many viewers? Or is it simple a 1:1 connection?

I used a standing desk for about 6 months, one with comfort matting. I didn't notice a difference. I also think standing desks don't offer any health benefits over sitting. I can state my reasons why if there is any interest.
