Yes, they have over-charge protection. But apple laptops still go all the way to 100% whenever you plug in. It is not a good idea to charge a lithium battery to 100% all the time. The source article also specifically mentions it, giving ref

For old macbook users (with magsafe connectors), covering the middle pin in connector stops charging the battery while running the laptop on main power supply. Details: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/132332/8730

People blame crop burning as the reason. Probably the farmers are polluting this place for 15 days, but the same farmers are absorbing our emissions with their farm plants for the remaining 350 days in the year. Nobody seems to mention it e

I had always assumed that CSS is faster, till I read your question. A quick search gave me this interesting link - https://css-tricks.com/myth-busting-css-animations-vs-javasc... - check it out!

Ofcourse you are not a pirate :) But the article ends with a note on piracy, which is irrelevant in this context. Also most people think that torrent means piracy, which is wrong.

Quoted from article: "The question is, however, how long this will last..." I hope people do not link this to promotion of piracy straightaway. I hope there are also enough legal torrent websites that come up, so that the governme

I used to be a fan of JSONView or one of those chrome plugins / extensions. Then I realized that I can simply use the network tab to view the JSON data as it gets loaded. Here is how it works - keep the network tab ready. When you see

I really don't think it is a good point of discussion in this context. The scientists who are working on these rocket launch missions are not in charge of administration of the towns and villages where the toilets need to be built.

I think the horizontal scrolling is happening only in that github.io web page, and probably not a fault with the CSS framework itself. The framework looks nice and small, and a good alternative to the mainstream alternatives.

My apologies, I didn't see your message on time. I used the default Chrome browser on my OnePlus One running CyanogenOS 13 (Android 6.0). I should have posted this in my first comment itself. Interestingly, I did not see any horizontal

Yes, it definitely felt faster. The network tab in google chrome indicates a 9.8KB of CSS file, unminified, which is possibly the reason. Thanks for pointing out this mobile testing methodology. It really helps to evaluate new CSS framework

Agreed. It is not a fair comparison, BizSpark probably provides a lot more. But for a startup with only developers and zero capital, App Engine still provides a great platform to get started. And also, there is no need to apply and get ac

How about Google App Engine for startups? They give a free tier, which I presume is free for life as long as the web application stays within quota. Ofcourse there is lock-in, there is no free lunch anywhere! But it should be ok for start

From that NASA website on mission logs - anybody else noticed that the success rates have dramatically increased after 2000? I am wondering if this has got anything to do with significantly enhanced computing power we have nowadays.

I was reading the comments under original article, and came across this book - "Venture Deals". With a bootstrapping mindset, I probably may not need it. But posting the info here for anyone who might be interested in VCs... Sear
