I pay for the Launch Ticker ( https://www.launchticker.com/ ). No linkbait or hyperbole, just key facts about the latest tech stories.

Guess it's a case of not being ready to execute on the idea yet? If so, not sharing until you're ready to start executing would be your best option.

Why does the perspective of the drawing grid appear to get wider as it gets further away? edit, to answer my own question: it doesn't get wider, it just doesn't shrink into the distance either. It still feels odd not having perspective.

For whatever e-petitions might be worth, here exists a "Teach our kids to code" petition http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/15081 , started by Emma Mulqueeny ( http://mulqueeny.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/teach-our-kids-to-... )

Ok, this is what I also assumed - although I would never rely upon this as part of my continuous deployment process, I guess it does little harm to still monitor and be aware of such things...

As a developer using Visual Studio in my day job for the past six years, I simply cannot get a hold of Eclipse. I have tried repeatedly, and failed because it is so very clunky, slow, and unintuitive. Have recently been playing with Intelli

Hmm, I find the double-click-to-delete feature unintuitive, and too easy to delete elements accidentally. I was clicking some text to edit it, and ended up deleting it by mistake. Otherwise, great tool!

Hotmail, despite improvements, is still terrible. There are three (or 4) areas of action links on the page, to ensure that I never remember where the print button or Reply all button is. It regularly junks emails from lists I'm subscribed t

I employ a similar tactic, and I can't recall ever one single site that I use changing its name. If it happened, I would then just change the password to reflect the name change, but it would be so infrequent that I'm not worried about it.

Last time I downloaded Wikipedia, it was 4.5GB. If I were to knock up this hack, I would definitely scrape pages instead.

Further to other replies, I also find that the mental shift between languages is always a gear change that slows down development. Especially shifting to your SQL brain.

The expected behaviour is that navigating away will not submit the data. That's pretty much consistent across all interfaces I know, with the exception of saving as draft, which still does not "submit" the data to the human recipient on the

In Messaging on the Facebook app on Android, you have Send on the left and Clear on the right. Gets me far too often, and it's just not even necessary. If I don't want to send what I started writing, I simply hit back. Hate it.

Regardless of Add-on start-up speed, I found annoyance with Firefox itself. Occasionally on launch, I would be asked whether I wanted to install or skip updates to my Add-ons. I found this process of having to choose to install or skip to b

Shame - I've been to two of these HN meetups, and last night I met a lot of people working on interesting ideas. Most of these ideas were actually projects that are too early to call a startup but could possibly have potential. Maybe I got
