Thanks for sharing, this looks really nice. Does anyone know similar projects that help with developing card- and/or boardgames?

Awesome deal. Thank you very much for this one! I am busy redeeming everything. Some stuff might not be useful for customers outside of the US. Maybe "geographic deals" might be an interesting idea for a future bundle? :)

And it is noticeable in the constant decrease in quality of both submissions and comments. Just compare the scribb.ly discussion here to the one on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/d8ph4/building_...

Granted, one can circumvent a lot of nonsense on reddit by carefully selecting and managing subreddit subscriptions but in the end I find myself unsubscribing from more and more reddits over time.

Thank you for linking this. It may not be hot news or a trendy topic but it was a very good read and a good refresher :)

Yes, it leads to better results than using the Stack Overflow search.

Thanks for writing such a great book. One of the treasures in my (ever growing) collection and I am even citing it in one of my papers I currently write :)

If I am not too late to the party, I would also like to establish contact. We are also working on a bootstrapped startup, so maybe we can offer some interesting tasks. :)

Another thing to take into consideration is how prize money is awarded in track and field competitions: There is most of the times a separate amount of prize money awarded for breaking a world record as all hosts of competitions would love to see new world records set in "their" events. This prize money is often higher than the regular prize money for winning.

So for an athlete it makes kind of sense to try and set new world records in incremental steps in order to earn as much prize money as possible. It also might lead to more frontpage cover stories in the long run.

That being said, this might not 100% apply to Usain Bolt as he is already a popular figure contesting in a very popular discipline of track and fields but it might make sense for an athlete of a less popular discipline like Triple Jump.
