Because of the points you mentioned, I've been wondering why I haven't been able to find a framework-independent, open-source user management and authentication system. This seems …

I'm hoping these features find their way in, too. I was just looking into their status yesterday, in fact, and came across these tracker threads: * Non-nullable types: https://gith…

Having just started reading the Rust guides, I'm curious: can the closure type actually ensure it doesn't mutate any externally visible data, or does that only apply to memory? Can…

To be fair, it's not just the octave. The interval between a C and a C is a unison. The interval between a C and a D is a second. Two octaves are a fifteenth (not a sixteenth). The…

Yes, I should have gone logarithmic. But I spent enough time playing with that. Had to get back to work. ;) Thanks for figuring out that it's 16 cents. And yes, 16 cents is very no…

This doesn't match my experience. When I tune by ear, I spend a lot of time compromising to get even a few basic chords to all sound good. But since we're talking about the math, I…

Yeah, cabal isn't quite there yet. People are aware of the issues and are working on them, but it's a slow road. As a workaround, my modus operandi right now is to use virthualenv …

I was in a similar — albeit not so extreme — place to where Abe was. I tell everyone that I'm working towards a music career and experimenting with startups. But I recently (prompt…

You may be right... but might it also be the case that the people who are doing something about it just aren't making a big deal about it? I suspect many people in their 20s and ea…

It sounds like this was a good speech. I expect few people here will disagree. I'd like to remark, though, on the fact that the author called this "controversial advice," while goi…

"Shy people fear negative judgment" is a bit facile on its own; it was sort of mentioned in passing in her TED talk. But it's actually not far from my understanding of the subject.…

Indeed, you are correct. And the heuristic clearly isn't as simple as whether or not the cursor is at the start of the word. Clicking between O and P produces a seemingly pseudoran…

I just played around with this in the emulator for a bit and I discovered that the feature has some subtle nuances. Clicking on the same pixel can produce either the visible letter…

I find the personal dig at the start of your comment unnecessary, but I appreciate that you're engaging me in a discussion about the design aspects. I'll grant that if you're optim…

Perhaps there were thousands of iPad users who used the keys without knowing it. I don't have access to those numbers. But how many more would have used them if there were an affor…

I'm not entirely convinced this falls under the category of good design. As it stands, it's a fun and useful easter egg. But good design wouldn't have required a blog post months a…

Unfortunately, Schumer just got reelected. He won't be up for election again until 2016.

As a day 1 Droid user after 10 years on Palm OS, I was stunned that the control in your third picture made it into a release, and even more stunned it persisted so long. On Palm OS…

I haven't tried Prezi in public. But to me, the big opportunity in this for a well-organized presenter is the ability to spatially orient your audience. I can imagine a history lec…

I think this is obscuring the hover on links. I'm on Firefox and when I hover over a link so I can see what subreddit it's in, the status bar shows it loading stuff from reddit, th…

In addition to this, once I get a mail server running, I'm terrified to make changes lest incoming mail end up in a black hole. One time when I made an incorrect change, the backup…
