Why? Honest question. You seem very certain, so you can probably explain?

I mean.. those growth rates are insane. It feels surreal. But on the other hand, I can't personally complain, having profited from it. What a time to be alive.

Why cover the audio mic jack?
Re:Circling Ourselves: The Story Behind Asana’s Rebrand on Thursday October 01, 2015 @05:51PM (#10315029)
The new look is nice. Sleeker, cleaner - nice. That said, the product feels a lot slower now. They added a lot of ajax-y elements, and something as simple as showing "Later" tasks on the "My tasks" page now takes up to 5 seconds to load (tested on multiple machines and networks).

Also, Asana didn't _really_ need a new coat of paint. It needed (and needs!) a _fundamental_ UX/UI re-thinking. It still feels just as clunky to use as ever - it just looks a bit fresher.

This is beautiful on many levels. It's nice from an artistic standpoint, but I really find it awe-inspiring to see just how many edits are made all day every day, and the range of topics they are related to. Nice job, OP!

I have spent quite a few years working with MS SQL Server, but have only dabbled with Postgres. Can somebody recommend a good Postgres book or tutorial for people like me?

I have two questions regarding this:

1) In the age of the smart phones, could one not develop an app to do this calculation for you? It might be tricky to film the wheel, but I'm sure that can be done stealthily somehow.

2) Would this work on online roulette games who claim to simulate the real-world physics of a roulette table?

I'm a strong believer in TicTail. They have a great team and seem to be building a userbase rapidly. It will be quite interesting to see what happens once they launch their paid add-ons.
