Is it a coincidence they had to link the term "responsive design" to a Wikipedia entry? Is it not self-evident what "responsive design" means?

Maybe Johnny doesn't want to "stream". Maybe Johnny just wants video that play backs immediately/without delay, and smoothly. And Johnny thinks that's what "streaming" means. Maybe…

I am 100% in agreement. I would never make users jump through hoops like that. Or assume that Redis would be their choice of database. That's a choice for the user. But Lord knows …

Definitely. I just wish they would make some changes so that we can use the "70's style command line" more with Firefox. In other words, options and arguments we can pass to Firefo…

kernel: a central, essential part of something paraphrasing the dictionary definition the meaning is similar in both contexts you mention. indeed if we asked someone who did not kn…

And your response is akin to someone being concerned about the words of a person from the 1700's reading about cell phones and asking what all the fuss is about, and maybe even sta…

This strategy of collecting email addresses without delivering anything first never seems to die down. The reason is simple: it works. Many people will hand over their email addres…

Show me an honest company with a solid service or product and I will be more than willing to support them financially. At the end of the day I think people who work for companies l…

Using Node.js to make "non-blocking http requests" using callbacks and having to reorder stuff after it arrives? Sounds like he had fun playing with Node.js and writing code. But d…

Ah! Thanks. So if I say "responsive" in relation to a computer, are people now going to think I'm talking about webpage layout? To me, "responsive" means the amount of time between…

I save ESC2J to a file and my "cls" is simply another file consisting of cat file1 in my PATH. Only because sometimes printf or some other way to print ESC's might not be available…

Developers want to pretend you[1] do not exist. "All users are idiots." Maybe the problem is with developers[2], not users. 1. The user who can learn to use vi and AWK. 2. In many …

Non-interactive is far better than interactive. Faster, more efficient, more secure, less error-prone, less repeated effort. It's less work! But there is an army of UI designers fi…

So if I do this: wget http://example.com/file.flv ; sleep 5; mplayer -cache 8092 file.flv am I "streaming"? In answering that question, does it matter what I do, or only what the g…

Assuming what you say were true (i.e., that I "have a problem" with 37Signals), do you "have a problem" with me "having a problem" with that? Do you also sell something people do n…

It has been said on HN that Xerox got some pre-IPO Apple stock options so it's all good. Yeah right. By all accounts Steve Jobs was a weasel. Of course, all those accounts could be…

But I'd bet those blue-collar folks would not mind being written about like "startups" get written about. A little hype could do them a lot of good. What makes a company "newsworth…

Forget what I say. It's just me. "5,000 companies sign up every week." But "keep all project discussions, emails, and stuff in one place" just doesn't draw me in. I don't have a pr…

Of course there are people working at TC who are not douchebags. Just like there are probably people working at Pool who are not douchebags. But these are not the founders the comp…

This is a fair point. Journalists are just using available public information. 37Signals' numbers are not public. "Talk is cheap" as they say. I don't disagree with what he is sayi…

Unfortunately this is true. I'm not sure all that many people know where the founder came from, i.e., the type of stuff he was doing before TechCrunch, and the company he worked fo…
