The screenshot might be more compelling if it were of something like a tooth chart. Based on my interactions with doctors, I'm not sure they care about what their schedulers' screens look like.
Where are you based? Are you hiring?
> @ville, Our first concern is to perfect the application, making money will come later.
That doesn't sound consistent with the "100% FREE, ALWAYS" banner.
By charging money from the get-go, you'll attract more serious clients, and you won't scare people away when you eventually spring costs on them.
It's common and encouraged on SO to answer your own question. The comments on the question address the reasons why.
I'd also like to see Clojure or ClojureScript support. It would bring me back a lot more often.
They look great. I think there should be a bigger distinction between tap and hold, and a larger emphasis in general on the gesture rather than the hand.
If you zoom out to 50%, that's about how big I would expect them to be on a phone, and some of the gestures (especially tap vs. hold) start to blend together.
It was unlocked a week later.
I agree with this. I could see myself signing up, getting one kit, and cancelling. Repeat every couple of months when I actually find time to do the brewing.
I've been using fogbugz. It's free for teams of 1 or 2, and it's a full-featured bug tracker that doesn't feel too heavy for one-off projects.

Is there a reason that in clojure.core/map, the second type declaration uses (U nil (Seqable a)) instead of (Option (Seqable a))?
>Even a person as well versed in induction and deduction as Arthur Conan Doyle believed that the death of Lord Carnarvon, the patron of the Tutankhamen expedition, may have been caused by a pharaoh’s curse.
I'm not sure he's the best example of a skeptic, given his belief in the Cottingley Fairies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies)
Agreed, I shouldn't have to constantly move the mouse around just to read the page.
When is "no offense" ever attached to a compliment?
This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode called
Valley of the Shadow (1963) [1]. A small town possesses a device that rearranges atoms to create or fix anything. The scientist who gave it to them told them to keep it a secret until mankind is totally peaceful. One day, a reporter's car breaks down near the town and he ends up proving that the world isn't ready for the technology.
Of course, you could argue that he reacts so badly because they try to trap him there forever...

It sounds like it's close to hurting performance for legit users. Also, since we don't know what the botnet operator's planning, it's probably safest for Tor to try to stop it.
> In practice, Morwen and Gerard adhered to policies regarding transgender people that have been in place for nearly a decade, and advocated a course of action that is straightforward to anyone with even a passing familiarity with transgender culture.
I think that's one of the causes of this controversy - most people don't have a passing familiarity with transgender culture. I know transgender people, but had no idea that it is hateful to use their birth name. Later in the paragraph the author even acknowledges this, calling the editors on the other side "a crowd of people . . . approaching transgender issues for the first time."
Unfortunately at my company we don't get to use the fancier Caché features. We have to stick to ANSI M.
We do make a lot of use of indices, though. Finding records can be incredibly fast.
I wouldn't. It's not a terrible language to work with on the job, but I don't think I've gotten anything out of it in the same way that I did from learning OCaml or Lisp.
For one thing, there's not much of an incentive to port hundreds of thousands of lines of working legacy code to a different language just to make it more readable. Its age isn't a relevant issue either - sure, MUMPS debuted in 1966, but InterSystems Caché and GT.M are still being actively developed. Other databases are pretty old, too - the first version of Oracle was written in 1978.
If Caché had no strengths, I would agree with you, but as a non-relational database, it's pretty good. Sparse associative arrays are the default data structure, so it's very popular in, e.g., medical applications, where you would want to be able to store thousands of different things, but any given patient will only need a few of them.
I think we may work for the same company. Does it rhyme with 'Shmeppic'?
One UI thing that's bugging me: the "Browse Patterns" dropdown has a text cursor instead of a pointer.
I assumed this was a very well produced joke, but apparently not:
http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/new/Nintendo's apparently going after those who don't care about 3D or aren't willing to spend an extra $40 for it, but I don't know why that means the 2DS has to look like a tablet - I would've thought the clamshell design had other advantages like protecting the screens and allowing the user to adjust the viewing angles.
