Hah, I always thought M+ 1m was my little secret that I had discovered; apparently it's the fifth most popular coding font. It's significantly more narrow than most monospaced font…

> Further clarification could be achieved by making the X button actually say "Disallow" and giving it a border separate from the word "Allowed." I agree. An X usually means "close…

I thought it was a joke, suggesting that everyone is so caught up with the presidential election, they may have forgotten who the current one is. I thought it was pretty funny. :P

I used OwnCloud for a while and never had any problems with it, but it seemed like overkill for my use. I didn't have multiple users and I wasn't using it to share files with anyon…

The title is accurate. People think of Firefox OS as a smartphone operating system; Mozilla is killing that off. They may be reusing the name on something else, but Firefox OS, (as…

Million-dollar aircraft tend to have people on them, while $30 drones don't. I think that's what he was getting at.

Also worth mentioning: Chrome for Android did this last year. GP was asking about iOS, but it's not an iOS-specific thing.

- Most updates are being reviewed within 7 weeks. - Most preliminary reviews are being reviewed within 10 weeks. I know people have complained about the long approval processes for…

It is definitely convenient -- in fact, using one system exclusively almost always provides the best user experience. (Apple has had great success with that idea.) Having Pocket bu…

This looks exactly like Shout[1]. This seems to be an IRC channel, and you have a web interface (using Shout) hosted on your domain, with some of Shout's features removed so that p…

They've said that they don't intend to support this because the web interface has features like previewing images and editing ODF docs. So, in order for that to work, the server ha…

> BitTorrent Sync remains the most secure and private way to to move data between two or more devices. That very first sentence will always be false as long as it isn't open source…

That's a really good way of putting it; I hadn't thought of it that way before. Fair enough! :)

I'll check it out, but in his past reviews, I've had the impression that the author really likes showing off his background knowledge of all things Apple. A lot of the text is irre…

I don't think so. PGP scrambles the text of the message for you (that's the body), but you're still using the standard email protocol, which sends attachments without making change…

Unfortunately, all I can see is either 1) a pretzel, or 2) the mouth area of Darth Vader's mask. I don't usually over-think logos, but this one looks strangely angular, aggressive,…

True, but I think you could say the same thing about git. It's a big bundle of binaries, and there aren't alternatives available that you can swap in and out. And yet, git is seen …

I'm really excited about this. I recently installed Firefox OS 1.4 on my cheapo ZTE Open (it came with 1.0), and the difference is huge. I thought I heard somewhere that they are s…

It'd be great if there was a compiler that would compile TypeScript to asm.js [0]. Adding type-safety in TypeScript is only for the programmer -- when you compile it to Javascript,…

I read their Jira thread, and I was convinced it was a joke, too. The project manager mentioned some poll that no one else had heard of, and then other people kept coming up with r…

> I hope [Mozilla] will very soon find its way back to the core values that I hold so dear. The whole tone of this post (and that sentence in particular) makes it sound like this p…

I think this is for "just the facts." You would use this data on your own review site.

Yeah (although I actually have OSX), that'd be nice. Related to this, today I just discovered Brackets[1]. It also has some nice git features, like highlighting changed lines. Like…
