I'm 24 and just quit my first post-uni Real Job after a year of employment. I have a meager Adsense income that will keep me afloat until something else takes off. It wasn't until I was halfway through university (~2010) that I decided to seriously jump into programming. My goal was to be able...

My side-project plate has freed up and I've been interested in working on tools in our space. -- In particular, I'd like to develop tools with better offerings than current solutions. For example, I've developed a library that implements most of Scrapebox's features a la carte. Since I'm using...

tl;dr: I found out I like parentheses and want more of them in my life. ---- It bewilders me that it was only a few years ago (late 2010) that I asked this very subforum what languages I should pursue to build an app idea that I had. After extensively dabbling in PHP, Python, and Ruby, I went...

The Github readme has a simple introduction: https://github.com/danneu/craig Installation: Usage: Craig's API just follows what you see on the Craiglist website, but spaces and punctuation are just converted to underscores. The same goes for cities: Craigslist > Cities Let's see the...

Node.js (Coffeescript): log = console.log http = require "http" $ = require "jquery" {parse} = require "url" # visits url, returns html response body getHtml = (url, callback) -> {hostname, path} = parse url log "sending GET: #{url}" body = "" http.get {hostname, path, port: 80}...

1. The constant barrage of awesome JS projects has been making it very hard for me to validate why I'm still bad with JS. Example: the Meteor framework And, of course, frameworks like Backbone.js and Ember.js 2. With the explosion of server-side JS, that gives you the same language on the...

Any insights? Obviously you lawyer up and hide the kids since there's some real unclear FDA precedence on unscheduled non-supplement "drugs". Nootropics like Piracetam might come to mind in the realm of uncertainty, but that's nothing. You can start with a benzene ring and for every phenyl...

When I'm trying to think of a new domain name, all I really want is a list of a bunch of random related ideas to choose from. Lean Domain Search | The fastest way to find a great domain name Pretty good at unearthing some quality domains. (Hacker News link...

I've been picking the brains of this community since 2007 and I'd like to give back. One thing that might help is to make a simple, easy to follow guide for getting your own cheap server set up with the LAMP stack (Linux (OS), Apache (Server), MySQL (Database), and PHP (Code)) from scratch. As...

I haven't used Adwords since 2007 and as far as I can recall, ad approval was almost instant. But I've jumped back into it and started up my first campaign in four years. It's a health-related niche which undoubtedly adds to the long approval queue, but two of my twenty ads were finally...

In an effort to superficially compare PHP (with CodeIgniter), Rails, and Django, I've been working on an identical application in all three frameworks. So far, the website is almost fully built in Django and CodeIgniter but I'm just starting my Rails version. My thoughts on Django...

I'd like to make a script that lets me specify my websites and the keywords I want to track for each one. Then the script will iterate through my list daily and track what position my websites are for each keyword. It's basically my own minimalist version of the traditional "rank tracking"...

I'm getting a MIS degree from a high-ranked undergrad biz school ...but all of my technical know-how from university is in Visual Studio, ASP, and MSSQL. Everything else (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP, Ruby, IDEs, Android/iPhone development) I've taught myself. Now that I'm about to graduate and I've...

TL;DR: Dreamhost PS has ALWAYS been a problem for my vBulletin forum. Looking for webhosts that specifically cater to busy and growing vBulletin forums. The DAY I moved my forum from shared hosting to Dreamhost PS is the day the unending 500 errors, burpy downtime at night (most inactive part...

Mahzkrieg's Keyword Combiner I wrote this simple script a few months ago since I didn't want to use hosted scripts, and I decided to pass it on to anyone else that could find some utility in it. Basically, you can insert various keywords in each column and the script will output every...
