All I ever heard before was Project Orion, but after reading about Project Rover, I don't understand why you would want Orion's design. Isn't Rover superior in every way? It appears to me that Orion uses a much smaller fraction of the relea

Exactly. Once you know that it's actually preferable to Alt-Tab doing everything. If you are like me with sometimes dozens of open windows it's nice to have one more layer of abstraction.

Know why that is? Because their pads are goddamn terrible. Every time I see a mac vs. pc argument it gets down to the mac user saying 'it's because of the trackpad' and the pc user saying 'I don't need no trackpad'. well.. there might be a

These are the moments when I love HN. Some hard facts here, thanks for explaining!

I think you might have a point there. It appears to me now that my OSX desktop is only messy because I share it with my Windows VM, where the desktop is pretty much the goto place when you want fast access to your latest files.

Exactly what I was thinking as well. Most Presentations are there to present data. I'd need at least bullets, tables and the ability to show multiple images (charts) for comparisons. Even if you only do sales pitches - how are you going to

Let me guess: Most people you know -that have a PC- use a mouse. On macs, many people even prefer a touchpad on their desktop iMac. And that's not because of Apple's ridiculously bad mouses, most people know that they can connect any logite

i'm not even talking about gestures. Let me see you getting used to fluid two finger scrolling and the preciseness of those pads and the go back to a small asus or whatever touchpad with scroll area on the side.

So someone who has never owned an Apple device makes an analysis on whether new Apple devices are being innovative. ok. IMO the MBP's retina display is a game changer for professionals who need to be mobile. Once you use it you can't go bac

Have they come around offering everything in html5 now? I tried it about a year ago and it only had a small percentage of the content I watch.

Is that really Pythonic? Isn't that just general best practice in programming?
344.
by DeepDuh 14y ago
You would. The thing is that it's supposed to be easier and involving less code, since you don't need to port the interface boilerplate. At least that's how I understood it.

The fact that OSX native doesn't use C-??? keybindings for non-unixy behavior is one of the greatest advantages IMO. It's even better than Linux in that regard, because CMD-C/V even copies/pastes from OSX clipboard in the terminal.

I really like the idea and I hope you will release it for the iOS appstore as well. Just a small detail: While sharing it on facebook I noticed that the sharing popup was cut off by the navigation frame and it was a bit hard to complete the

As a non American this is quite amazing to me. Couldn't that easily be used against someone in order to get to their valuable IP? Who decides what is relevant for the suing party to see and what not?

As someone who has never owned a Samsung Android device, I was astonished by these slides. My biggest questions are: - how the hell did Apple get that report. They were the ones submitting it to court, right? Looks almost like industrial es

Wow, I have so many questions right now - How did this document get leaked? First how did this get to the courtroom. Did Samsung submit it? If yes I wonder why. It looks rather damaging to their case. - How did it get leaked to the public?

Prices of apps made by independent developers are often higher than on Windows, simply because of less competition (at least it used to be that way but at least in the consumer space I feel that it's shifting). App quality is often higher h

I think it's important for us to know how to show the power of computers and programming to kids. This is a great tool to achieve that since python is so abundant in the unix world.

And now draw a black box around that whole system. What do you get? A voltage source, right? Engineers usually don't care much about the principles of how something is made. As long as it can be abstracted to a known concept you're all good

Whenever there is an argument of a CLI being suboptimal you can be sure that the counter is going to be "but it's all in my muscle memory!". CLI itself isn't efficient, it just FEELS efficient. Its real strength is the scriptability, such t

Well it does - it stores nuclear binding energy that's unstable enough to be extracted and stable enough to last for x years. It's a nuclear battery just like convential ones are chemical batteries.

Something that wasn't obvious to me from the start: The time synchronisation. I was thinking first that it would show the time relative to he observers position, but it apparently shows things with earth's reference frame. Makes sense from

Kinda neat, I don't see yet any added benefit over Bootstrap however - the problem it solves in a visual way is not really a problem for a mildly experience web developer and for the beginners it's not enough functionality IMO. As a thought
