Portuguese, "puxe": http://translate.google.com/#pt/en/puxe X sounds like SH.

That’s accurate. Articles are peppered with first person pronouns. Minimalist on presentation AND content, sadly.

Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses [1][2] is long-overdue. “There is a current, established format for international addresses” is probably one of them. [1] http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-b... [2]

A millimeter (which I rather often call “milímetro” or “millimètre”) is also too late. By the way, the SI uses powers of ten.

I was reading this like any other ordinary story. Then I got to this part: Amazingly, he doesn't do transplants anymore. Tracheas, he has decided, can be regenerated from scratch, using stem cells. It brought tears to my

The same blog post in Chinese is provided as a 10 MB PDF [1]. My PDF reader simply gives up while loading it and prints insane amounts of error messages. I'm guessing they converted all the text to curves to avoid being censored? [1] http:

Certainly. In my opinion an explicit quote of part of the original article would have been better than paraphrasing. Quoting reinforces the value of the source (“we couldn't write it any better”), paraphrasing does the opposite.

A case of poor timing, I think. TNW posts a non-attributed version of the article [1]. Author complains on twitter. Meanwhile, TNW notices the error and ninja-edits the post with proper attribution [2]. You check the updated post. Drama ens

I really need something like this. However, I watched the video and came back unconvinced. You don't show me how to manipulate data. How do I get it into the canvas? Can I get it from APIs? from Google Docs? Can I bind data to attributes of

The comparison to a football coach is very accurate, but I think it's unfair to put Linus Torvalds and Ulrich Drepper in the same bucket. While Drepper is pure asshole, Linus just uses insults in the same situations the rest of us would use

My Spanish is rusty, but the article says that: - Stallman felt ill halfway through a lecture he was offering in Barcelona, probably due to a blood pressure spike; - he asked the staff for medical assistance; - meanwhile, he continued the l

The OP are not comparing cars to software. They are comparing the natures of the commercial relationship between the owner and the car manufacturer and between the user and Adobe. Expecting free "recalls" from Adobe is not unreasonable.

Just bought it! Skipped the trial because the video demo was enough. You should really be proud. Works like a charm, somehow feels like a UNIX tool. Hope you get rich in exponentially faster increments of five bucks.

I would translate it exactly like that, though it's actually not ad hominem but ad humanitatem , really. We are all biased creatures, as others have pointed out. I think the critique is biased, I think it is biased because the author put

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." That's the blog of a company that makes a tool that integrates with Eclipse.

Do you know what kind of auto-completing Google should really halt? Spoilers. Do not type Game of Thrones character names on Google. EDIT. I'm really, really sorry. I didn't mean to spoil by implying that there are spoilers. I removed the

3. That's actually not a close icon, but an "expand" icon. You can just click anywhere to close the lightbox That's also a usability issue with the lightbox UI. I couldn't figure why the "close" button was not working, either.

Indeed. Here's some statistically ignorant experiment I just did. Loading the Function [1] document (not the whole page, just the document) takes around 1.6 s here: Connecting: 0.837 s SSL: 0.258 s Sending: 0 s
