FWIW: In iOS, all icons are varying size, just they have that little border around it forcing all sizes to feel identical. Its a good trick. BTW He forgot to mention: Why is it that on every fucking device out there the back button and menu

Problem he is not addressing is that using an android maker to make android-like phones and trick people into a fragmented market is a problem. Furthermore, those without the true android os, will be disappointed citing how android sucks. T

Don't forget, unlike windows, LOCKING a mac is not easy. The only way I know is to use the lock command of Alfred. In windows: Windows + L = lock boom. Because of this, most people in the office leave their macs unsecured.

TBH, these numbers pale in comparison. I don't care if FF is a few instructions faster than Chrome. It's good competition. Chrome and IE both have multi-process capabilities which make the whole experience significantly better. FF has yet t

You miss the point. The poor SOB ship won't even know it. It would be a submarine that attaches itself in Japan to a ship known to head to the US. Or mid-rout. And that's that. In the US, we have a small ship waiting for the cargo sending a

We must see the first step. He is trying to stop the bleeding. My guess is that the signs are there that the bleeding has started, it just hasn't hit mainstream yet.

I am always wiery of these maneuvers because they can swing both ways. I must say, good for the CEO to response; smart man who realizes the company is going to get hit, hard, and soon. The only question left is: to trust or not to trust? Le

To be honest, I knew this was going to happen. Apple made the lawsuit against samsung, but google has a big BIG bomb to throw: Map Reduce. If google whips out map reduce, apple is screwed. Basically without it apple will be VERY hard presse

Android FTW. I know this pops up constantly, but this is EXACTLY the reason I advocate for android. This sort of shit does not fly there. Apple has the ability to censor which even the government can't and worse is that it's fully legal. I

The "less is more" argument -- less code = better can be better summarized as: "I'm not smart enough to understand this really complicated code, so I decided to write something smaller and simpler." This is something a co-worker of mine sai

It's funny, the overall article is not about "how do we disarm conservative arguments" it's about a certain type of argument and how it is used. The examples were "liberal" but that is irrelevant, the point is identical.

Yes, we are celebrating the ability to use tabs to open mail vs a browser tab. Because surely nobody likes browser tabs. sigh news fail.

"too big to fail" I wonder if facebook fails, will that be a good thing where a lot of developers get on the market thus allowing startups to hire :P?

I read that entire site as: PostgresSQL has feature X, Y, Z MySQL had X, recently introduced Y, and does not always have Z. It's always MySQL catching up to postgres. And lots of it's db engines are not ACID. Its not the DB I thought it was

I hate java. I love the JVM. 90% of the benefits of java are benefits of the JVM. the Java language itself is garbage though. Too many hacks, too slow release cycle, too slow adoption cycle. Kotlin is actually a great language built on the

I started using VIM 3 months ago. And now I can't fucking use anything else. The ergo gains of vim are so rediculously awesome, and NOBODY else does VI right, other than VI. Even Sublime 2, it has vintage mode but its not VI, it's missing m

And let this be a lesson to ALL. Never EVER work > 9-6 hours. Only on occasional crazy deploys. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow rarely comes, and enough horror stories show that. Don't be stupid. If your employer sees your pro

Yes, but you did not read the title did you. It's an obvious Jab at the fact that FB overcharges. However the point was, the OP made a net profit of < 10k. The OP used it as a facebook EVENT not a click-through link. So this is not an A

And excellent question there. FB event may be protected already via this.

by dlikhten 14y ago
You created an EVENT. The EVENT cannot be added via a bot, so facebook was protecting itself essentially. Event invitations and click-through are different. Just sayin'

I find Sparrow does that so incredibly well. I use 2 accounts daily, and have 2 more for "spam" accounts. It works really well at separating and unifying them.

"Your password can't be longer than 16 characters." Well, it failed my test. Sorry. I never trust my emails to small hard to remember passwords. I rather trust them to very large easy to remember/type passwords. Like horses-functional-pickl

Just interesting, nobody could ever imagine computers that fit in your hand. Everything there is about the physical tools, nobody imagined that tools would instead become intelligent.

FFS I was hoping VanL's comment was here. The article starts of with a "the world is fucking burning, motherfucker, build your nuklear shelter in the woods! NOW!" Honestly, is this patent any different than shit we've seen over the last 5 y

First-to-file != prior art. It just means if there is a dispute between two parties A and B, A invented the technique first but B filed it first, the law now states that B owns the patent. This does not mean that I can now go and claim that

not happy there, its too quirky compared to real VI. That's the first thing I tried. I really do miss using custom macros that do ',.' to swap between unit tests and production code. It feels forced.

False. Why gamify, I actually found this incredibly useful all in itself.
