Of course . Earlier today I go to Android Market, thinking "gee, the Dropbox app ought to be out by now, right?". It was not, so I downloaded some 3rd party thing. Drive home, fire up HackerNews, and look what I see... Ah well. As if I can

Facebook is highly efficient for communicating with a large number of "fringe" acquaintances. Things you suggest - picking up the phone, dropping an email - require 1-on-1 contact. I am limited in the amount of time I can devote to 1-on-1 c

Your keyboard example is poor. The point is to not be so ridiculously oversensitive to change as to freak out over very minor ones. Your example is on a whole other order of magnitude of chaos, and as such is not a valid comparison.

It's almost ridiculous how much. If such a minute change like this generates such a negative reaction from someone, how is that person going to handle real, serious change? Especially when this minute change was such an arbitrary thing to b

If you had spelled it "Babooshka" like Kate Bush, there's no way I could have refused to use this tool. I would have been "all yours". (For those too young to know who Kate Bush is, imagine if Lady Gaga took the effort she puts into weird &

I have been tempted to try again, and I can accept the idea that I just hit things at the exact wrong time. At this point, the main roadblock to trying Arch again hasn't been that past experience, but rather a very high level of satisfactio

I liked the idea of the rolling release, which is one of the reasons I was trying Arch in the first place. (And I was a Gentoo user before Ubuntu came along). But it's got to "roll" a little smoother than that. I understand some potholes he

No. The packages themselves weren't up to date, it wasn't just the mirror failing to fetch the new ones. Hence threads like this one ( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=585808 ) with suggestions like "[t]ry to persuade the creators

Last time I used Arch, they had just moved to libjpeg7, which removed libjpeg6 and immediately broke a small army of programs that still required 6. The recourse for users was to manually manage a copy of libjpeg6 themselves, outside of the

I'm glad it's not called "Startup News" any more. I probably would have just glanced at the page and left. And then where would I find the kind of techy, software development article links that I regularly add to my company's wiki?

That's part of it, but he also talks about how fragile hardware is, how cumbersome RAID is, and other things hardly specific to Windows.

He didn't say it was the right way to do it. He didn't even say what he was describing was a good idea. He just offered an answer to the question, "Why would people copy a private key around?". Obviously, people are doing it for some re

I find blog posts like this annoying. Someone takes a common phrase, reads it as if every word is meant in the most literal way possible, then takes pot-shots at it. I enjoy my work a lot, but after 5 days of it, I look forward to two days

Comment not related to the article. The "templates" the article is talking about are large boilerplate comment blocks at the top of source code files, with license, attribution, changelog, etc. information. Nothing about executable code.

It took me some time to get Linux fonts looking the way I want, and the conclusion I came to appears to be the same as yours: hinting off, subpixel on. Fairly simple compared to some of the funky paths I went down in the past. I look at tha

There's a whole lot of "why I like/don't like the iPad" stories that seem to poke holes in your theory. Even in niche communities, the (relative) junk can worm its way to the top. EDIT: Didn't notice axod's post deeper in the thread with th
