I should point out that, although Lanai was formed millions of years ago by a volcano, there aren't actually any active volcanoes on that island. The only active ones are on the Big Island (also known as Hawaii). http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I did the redesign, so I'd be happy to answer any questions here!

I'm particularly interested – if anyone has experience using Ember – about the concerns raised about Ember's performance with large amounts of data and "hairy custom view situations," as borismus puts it. Is Ember actually going to be slow

This reminds moe of Joe Davis' Telescopic Text: http://www.telescopictext.com/ . Assuming you see this on a desktop computer, it's exactly the opposite of Frankie's responsive text: instead of gradually reducing the amount of information,

The OP, written by Inkling's CEO, also says: "I also previewed Inkling for Web, which will make all of Inkling’s great interactive content available in any web browser."

I wonder what this could mean for using Google+ in the classroom – perhaps teachers could post links in a circle exclusively for the students in their class, and allow students to comment and discuss those links. Also, on a hangout, student

You also can't vote on job posts, which is how I distinguish them from regular stories.

Just so you know, I think the link on your website to your author application form is wrong (it goes to https://hyperink.wufoo.com/forms/hyperink-author-application... , which says "page not found").

Oh, one more thing in the footer - the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links don't go anywhere. But it looks great otherwise!

I was just wondering, actually, if Apple would make something to compete with Instapaper. The iPad is not necessarily an ideal ebook reader - it's heavier, more expensive, and harder to read in the sun than the Kindle or Nook. Don't get me

They certainly think there's a problem with EBS: "Since that last failure, we have been doing everything we can to move ourselves off of the EBS product. We're about half way there. All of our Cassandra nodes are now using only local disk,

Where are you from? I've actually never heard it before (in the US).

Hmm, okay, but doesn't that sound kind of strange too? Why would FaceTime use an image from the camera roll instead of one from its own cache?

But why would Facetime be using this? It seems unnecessary.

I'm actually working on this, after being inspired by Brett Simmons' article: http://inessential.com/2011/03/16/a_plea_for_baked_weblogs . My app is pretty similar to what you're describing - you can compose posts online (or in plain text

I think the point is that, with Scheme, the tool you use is less important than the thinking you do. With Java, you have to worry about your environment before you can worry about programming.

It's nice that they're so good-natured about it. That gallery of photos, and the commentary, is hilarious. And how did the Transmit icon get on a German... adult store?

Yes, exactly. Perhaps the 4 weeks approach is to link it with the existing home delivery system (which is also calculated by week), but it sounds strange in practice. I guess we'll see how it turns out, though. Maybe most customers won't ac

Well, the iPad's pricing is relatively simple to figure out: $499, plus $100 for every storage increase after that. If you want 3G, that's $130 extra. The New York Times, on the other hand, seems less logical. The website+smartphone app is

Yeah, I think a good number of people don't understand how tsunamis work, even here in Hawaii. During an emergency, radio and TV broadcasters here try to explain that tsunamis are more like solid walls of water - i.e. the entire ocean lifti

Update 3: About three hours later, there's still no all clear. Oahu and Kauai are a lot better off than Maui and the Big Island, where there have been reports of flooding and damage. They're still gathering information, though, because it's

Update: Tsunami waves have begun to hit the islands, but it's relatively small for now. Update 2: About an hour later, still very moderate waves, although the water has been receding so far that you can see the reefs. No damage reported. Pa
