... umm.. because its white? and every thats white is Apple? If you actually look at it you'll see its a not printed anything like an Apple keyboard, the letters are offset for one…

From a personal perspective I stopped building HTML web apps after I started to transition my WebSQL apps to IndexedDB. I really really disliked the experience (messy code/overhead…

Because in the short term it sounds good, like eating takeaways. But in the long run its pathogenic. If you can't see the whole system and need a quick buck why not. Theres a reaso…

I mucked around with a few but found them quite restrictive and generally only pushed issues around as opposed to solving them. As soon as you're dealing with a nasty API you can g…

2010 macbook pro and I can't scroll the page without serious lag and jumping :/

I loved it, but I'm bias as I love all of Mike Judges work. I don't really find most his his work boisterous comedy, more a charming satire that I can watch over and over and still…

It's also about his ability to be a leader, if people lost the ability to respect him then he looses the ability to lead. That happened, he had to go.

I'm not sure how it differed from opening up any manual to anything. The reason you are opening up the manual is the key point. I think for me its was a progression from 'how' -> '…

No thank you, its great to see such lateral thinking and particularly around something thats the potential to be quite beneficial to people who have live hard enough as it is. You …

Thanks, I opened 'zite' up on my tablet and it was mainly really uninspired/mundane/transparent/poorly executed attempts at humor and I was quite put off by it. Be glad for that cr…

I haven't seen the term "pragmatism" in this thread. Thats a major difference I've noticed over the years. Something that used to drive me nuts when I was a junior dev, and somethi…

From my point of view its management handling thats my issue. When I say week to update iOS, 3 days on the html version, 3 weeks for android, I get a massive push back... "android …

What I instantly thought of shared experiences with the game recording features of the PS4, or even ghosting along other players in real time. Its the type of tech that could take …

Sony was about to steam roll them? and Microsoft in the next year as well? The Sony morpheus system is already better than oculus feature wise, with better position tracking, and a…

Well for me its the fact Facebook is an overbearing controlling experience which abuses it market position for its own interests above those of its users (both paying and free). It…

Same reaction here. I'd say more about my opinion of Facebook and Zuckerberg business capabilities and behaviour, but it would add nothing to a civil discussion... EDIT: for some l…

Cool, I've read good things about grunt but haven't had the time to look into it. Its direct access to the CLI thats the killer for me with make ... and to be frank ... if I was go…

I couldn't agree more here. After reading the source code on the twitter css bootstrap makefile a few years ago I got inspired and wrote my own rewrite of what they had... I was bl…

The problem with silent+no vibrate is that interruption still exists. I often take my phone out of my pocket when sitting for dinner, or just randomly when I become aware its there…

I'm not a fan of cell phones at all, even dumb ones. I hate being interrupted, being taken out of the zone, when I'm enjoying things. So I don't take the phone I have with me. I le…

No you are getting downvoted because you are as wrong as you can possibly get. And by the looks of it CSS focused... which I wouldn't even call engineering. Things rarely go obsole…

I more or less stopped participating a while ago due to decline in comment quality. I'm at 950 karma but if the system works I might make the effort reach 1000 lift the opinions I …

Well now he knows what its like when Facebook does the same thing.

"The author's argument against automation in these life-saving contexts is weak." I think you missed the point of the article. Its not that existence of automation is bad, its the …

I agree, I can't read the text without my glasses on. In comparison from the same distance and size I can read almost every other font I encounter on the web.
