Joe's behaviour is completely unacceptable. Her treatment at work like some leper again is unacceptable though some this could be attributed to awkwardness on how to broach the subject or if it should be talked about at all. Two things

Using Coast now.. I really want to like it. Trouble is it is slow.. you click a link and sometimes nothing happens. Also, i like tabs. I find a story on HN and just leave it on a tab for later and open HN in a new tab. Not sure how to do th

I agree that the one good thing this law has done is start a debate. On the downside it is negatively affecting how you interact with websites. Often before I can even determine if I am on the right website I get a pop up message before I c

I think the broader point is to use a single language over as many of your system's as possible. Rather than just "Python is the answer to everything." Obviously there are benefits and drawbacks to such an idea. Benefit is ev

Just wondering what scenarios you foresee you using the desktop feature in? If your travelling there won't be a screen available unless you lug one around. In which case you might as well carry a laptop. At home and work you probably h

Thanks a lot. I have a seen a few sites like this and have been wondering. Sites using this feel like they load so much faster and more fluidly.

Looks awesome. Very useful. How is this site made? It looks like changing pages are ajax transitions but the url is changing at the top? Could someone point me in the direction of how this is made please. Would be really interested.

I answered this above. The code base doesn't have unit tests. It was built by a hobbiest 4 years ago. The current version supports legacy features from a previous version. It is mainly procedural with a smattering of random classes. Th
