This. I basically do this because it's quick and does not need any extra code, esp because I write web apps and testing it is just a ctrl+S away. No compilation, just F5.

I write web apps and I don't do any testing at all. I am also a unit testing newbi. I just run the app and make sure what change I made works. No automated testing what so ever. it just works and I believe it will be an unnecessary over hea

this amount includes the gadgets that they give to people. last year there were three if i remember correctly. one was for game devs only.

because android isn't going anywhere with it's ridiculous fragmentation. and Microsoft wont be going either if they want their app store to be a success.

Well i have to say this was totally out of the blues for me and 200m is still an over valuation IMO. esp considering that is the value of page views. but congrats to Pete and team!

That's known as cloaking. user agent sniffing is never a very good idea from SEO perspective. googlebot also uses normal browser user agent and if it finds that you are returning different content based on user agent then your site can be i

why don't they give an official torrent..? the file size is very big and direct download for slower connections is not feasible.

yes, that seems correct, also just to make it clear, i can't even down vote yet :P so it wasn't me :)

yes but that would require server to know that which again requires some sort of ajax which cannot happen because js is disabled!

For a minute there, I really thought he has actually made a reasonable AI machine. Very interesting but disappointing if you were expecting something real. I am still waiting for JARVIS level AI.

wait, can anyone please tell me the story behind this post? i understand it is about some primitive text browser for web but why (and how) is it on google groups? google wasn't even there at that time. and how can one add a post and date it

But it does work for images, maps and youtube.

I am the distraction junkie type but in a good way i guess. Loud music nd distractions (both online and offline) are the main drivers of my workflow. I find that if i have some kind of a mental feeling (out of the computer context) to push

wait, the title seems misleading. Chrome wont be replacing android browser as standard in ics. it has not even been confirmed for any future updates either. "Standard browser" is probably poor choice of words.

by Achshar 15y ago
yes it will.. > There will be the same 6-week release cycle for new versions, Pinchai says. http://parislemon.com/post/17215781807/chrome-for-android-th... but i would ask will they be automatic or manual?

I would really appreciate if any one can summarize that :)

well if i want something to look and feel like a button, i won't ware about tab navigation. its a button after all. Its like saying i can't use a div to make it look like a button because it cannot be accessed through tab. Its a div, not a

by Achshar 15y ago
here's what i do, i use button tag where it has to look like a button and use a link where it has to look like a link. Also if link requires an eventhandler instead of href change i simply omit href attribute altogether and write my css to

alexa is HIGHLY unreliable. you might as well ask duckduckgo about blekko's performance.

I always end up googling what i need and i find it rather easily. I find it more easy to fill in my query with keywords ans answer is usually in top5 results :)

well yes but i was talking about how it's stored in memory. Like in js all the numeric operations can be performed on strings that are just numbers. Think of it as an intelligent string that behaves according to it's contents. if it's conta

You can say that this is more of a first world developer problem but i am still an ammature (as you might have guessed) and i have started to kind of dislike typed languages. i like my space and freedom to put text or integer or float or bl

Yes, i agree. I was not offending C, i was just defending JS buy using C as an example. I have said this below but will say again. C is as much crazy to me as is JS to some other people. this does not make C evil.

let me give an example. there is no easy or straight forward way to make a string's length variable. i cannot for example do something like 'int string1[n]' where n is something i got through scanf. also there are different functions to get

> at some point someone somewhere had to write code at a lower level to support this Yes that is something i totally agree with. In fact that's why i only supported js and not hate c. Because somewhere it has to be done and c is efficie

Well i'v never understood the problems with JavaScript but maybe it's because i haven't done things how other languages do it. But js is very "open" and bound free. Especially with functions and objects. They make sense to someone who is ne

what is it really? it took me some good effort to figure out what it was.. i still like pastebin more. Minimalism is apparently not always a good thing.

Well this is interesting but unfortunately i see the information gap broadening here. In my country (India) most of the restaurant owners don't even know what WiFi or smartphone is let alone maintaining their online presence.

I would suggest pg to write a special "from reddit to HN" guide. That would help and we can link that to people who seem to be new here (if they havent already seen it ofcourse)
