It becomes a problem when vitriolic responses like that (death threats, etc) are taken as indicators of the entire community. It absolutely needs to stop, and we all need to work together to stop it. However, most people aren't insensitive, sexist assholes, and that's important to keep in mind (I'm not saying you claimed otherwise).

In Chromium this initiates an automatic download as soon as I open the URL. Yuck. Otherwise, cool service.

Yea, I love Prime videos. The author here is extrapolating about the entire Prime subscribership based on his personal experiences. That's a terrible way to write an article.

I really like the idea, but the name is somewhat offputting, especially if I were in a position where I had to sell it to management (luckily I'm not). Will definitely give it a whirl, but I strongly suggest considering a name change.

Speaking three languages doesn't qualify him as a competent developer.

So Fez underwent a somewhat significant API overhaul in the last few weeks. Now it is much more of a DSL, but is also much more expressive.

I'm worried that perhaps it's a bit too esoteric. I am confident in every design decision we made, but I want to make sure that those decisions are as transparent as possible. If you find some explanation lacking, please let me know so that I can update the documentation!

Oh, then it just loaded extremely slowly for some other reason... Obviously I didn't actually read the article before commenting. :P

Not too bad, actually. For a moment I was thinking about how it might be useful to embed large datasets directly in the page, but it wouldn't be even remotely worth the sacrifice in usability. Just make one extra HTTP request and give the user a nice spinny icon.

Oh man, this was amazing. I just starting giggling and broke out into full out hearty laughter because it was so fun. I couldn't play more than 30 seconds, mind you, because it was infuriatingly difficult, but amazing nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the poster already talked to them. This wasn't a question of how to proceed legally, nor was it a complaint about the company. It was an appeal to the startup community about the morals of suing, potentially successfully, a young startup.

I had very good support for mental health troubles at NYU. I never harmed myself, so it is very possible that I would have had a different experience in this student's shoes, but it did wonders for me to feel cared for. I can only imagine how terrible it would be to have a support system open up from under you.

I haven't seen Brunch before, but it still seems to suffer from the same major flaw as Grunt, which is no sense of file-file relationships:

"Brunch recompiles and concats all your stuff automatically on any change, headlessly. No more need in compicated Makefiles and watchers."

Perhaps I'm wrong, but Brunch just seems like a variant on Grunt with a lot more out of the box for building front-end web applications.

Still, it does look cool. Thanks for the link!
