I realize this is an opinion piece but it was posted on HN so I wanted people to see both sides of the story.

Seems like this is written by a conspiracy nut. Facts are wrong (Michael Mann isn't a professor at UPenn) and the story is one-sided. There's no mention of what else Tallbloke wrot…

Oh I should've read the whole article first...apparently reduced memory usage leads to longer battery life which is a worthy goal.

I'm starting to believe that memory usage may be a red herring in modern operating systems. Memory prices have been crashing, every day on Slickdeals I see 8GB of notebook (and net…

The copy path button is only necessary because Explorer hides the real path with the fake address bar they use now. I'd bet that mostly power users need to copy the path anyways, a…

The background information and analysis seemed so reasonable, then they threw that ribbon on there and it looks like a confusing mess.

I'm starting to appreciate the black bar more and more. At first I was skeptical, but it fits their new designs pretty well.

You can see the new navbar in action on Google+: https://plus.google.com/ I preferred the lighter theme personally…

If you look at the removal process in the support document from Apple it doesn't really look all that bad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650 Just kill the process and delete the .…

I definitely noticed this weird lack of information on Express. I've found the best thing is to check out the examples from Express' own github: https://github.com/visionmedia/expr…

I've heard good things about IndoChino: http://www.indochino.com/ but I haven't tried them myself.

This reads like a political attack ad. So many half-truths in here. Just an example: they claim that Chrome "dropped support on Windows XP for functionality that [IE Team] think is…

Yup, that's why I picked Tumblr over Posterous. The toolbar is just ugly, I'd be fine if I could make it that 2D tag they used to have, but I couldn't get it to work. Tumblr is def…

I think this article is not a great introduction to Stylus, it's a better idea to check out their Github page: http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/ While you can write functions to…

I was just thinking about something like this a few weeks ago, mostly the Git integration being a killer feature. Good luck!

They could also make the darned "Reply" link easier to find! It takes me way too long to find it every time I want to reply to a message.

Is that a Vonnegut reference in the title?

I agree with the cumin sentiment. I'm also a big fan of cutting up any leftover meats: sausage, bacon, cooked ham/steak; and throwing it in a pan with some onions and leftover vegg…

This is neat but I'd like to be able to try it out before having to register. The register popup should be when you wanna save or print the mockup maybe.

Wow thanks for the feedback. We do have a little content bloat right now due to some over-eager Liberal Arts majors writing for us. We'll see what pages can be eliminated over time…

We're worried about all of our features working on IE6 and it's just easier on us if we don't support it at all. I'll try to go ahead and make the warning dismissible though. Also,…

All summer our small team of 3 people has been working on the website for a small student organization at Pennsylvania State University. Our club hosts battles with Nerf guns, scav…

I like Fugue a lot as well. It's also CC-By Attribution which is a very easy license to work with.

I've never been a big fan of these sort of hacks. Conditional comments work fine and I don't mind the extra request on the part of the users who choose to use an inferior browser. …

Working on the site for the club I'm in at school: http://urbangaming.org Not much info on there but the new site will be up in exactly 1 week so stay tuned. You can check out our …
