I just happened to be on their About page today and I noticed they'd taken down the "VC money raised - $0.00" section.

Congrats to the fine folks at GitHub!

99.99% sure they found it is good enough for me

Let me do some digging. I suspect not. I use Command + Tab to switch apps and then when I want to isolate I pull up my dock and click an icon (my dock is usually hidden).

We should hang out then! Shoot me an email zack @ zackshapiro.com and let's grab coffee and meet up! Maybe we'll end up watching a Ravens game together in the Fall!

I am indeed! Are you? Go Ravens!

Updated!

That was my mistake. I must have closed the tab by accident. Updating now. Thanks for catching this, cadooo.

Thanks! I didn't know about this. Personally, I like Single Application Mode so that I don't have to think about it. I throw every computer I have into Single App Mode when I get it.

I'm not familiar with single application mode for Windows. Sorry, grim :(

Nice find! Thanks chbrown.

This is great. Thanks Scott!

Agreed. Gravatar is pretty much the worst.

Somebody make a teddy bear out of this material and put it on a mantle a la The Parent Trap. It'll look like Metal Mario from Mario N64 and will keep your house totally safe. Bonus points if you put a red headband on it or anything else to make it look like a ninja

These are unreal. Thanks for sharing!

But have you seen the trailer for Django Unchained?!? (new Tarantino flick)

While I enjoyed some of Gladwell's writing, this is bullshit. If you don't think that copying happens everywhere, you should watch everythingisaremix.info. Jobs took pieces of a million things and put them together in a way that made the most sense and connected culturally. Jobs won't be forgotten for a long, long time, just as Thomas Edison hasn't been forgotten. Gladwell's flat wrong on this.

I imagined that I'd open this article and the categories would be:

1. Angry 2. Really Angry 3. Overly happy and chatty 4. Business douchebags 5. Neutral 6. Hulk angry

Facebook has been around for 8 years, it's one of the most heavily-used web properties in the world. I just had an IPO and nearly a billion people have an account. It's staying power revolves around the web of photos and collective memory that we all now have of the last 8 years.

One day Facebook's usage and magic will peter out. I wouldn't call that a failure. Some will. I think they've had some damn good success up to this point and will continue to for the foreseeable future.

Can you imagine how helpful diffs would be in the legislative process? Instead of combing through hundreds of pages to find new changes, losses, amendments, etc., it would all be right there.

Let's open source the law.

No it didn't. There are a million photo-sharing apps out there. Just because Instagram was the most popular doesn't mean it was the only one.

Well said.

Glad to see this is available for Chrome. Thanks for posting it!

Enjoyed the post, Jason.

Along your comment of life after college being a uniquely challenging time, I wrote this post a few weeks back that seems relevant - http://zackshapiro.com/post/22010015010/9-things-i-wish-some...

I don't mean to take away any attention from your article, just thought it would be some good, direct advice for recent college grads.

I'm surprised you didn't you mention geometric means. Seems like that would also be a relevant way to look at performance data.

I'm so excited to give this a spin. Something simple and turnkey was absolutely needed. Nice work guys!

Gumroad's advantage is the obnoxious ease of use compared to similar players in the space. For anyone currently using Paypal, Amazon or Google's comparable services, Gumroad's simplicity makes it a no-brainer.

You should add a link to yourself somewhere on the site so people can email you, follow you on Twitter, etc.

Again, great work!

Kateray, this is awesome. I'm probably at the same place as you learning how to code and loving every minute of it. I couldn't agree more, everyone should know how to code - at least enough to be dangerous and prototype something up.

Great work!

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this. Great for a Sunday
