In summary: I can barely read even the important text (titles, headlines), therefore this is of little use to me. I agree with others: I'd get a lot more out of being presented just clickable titles and headlines in a legible font size; an

I can go to lite.facebook.com only if I'm not logged in. If I go to lite.FB.C and try to log in, it just redirects me to normal facebook.com.

I'm sceptical of that reasoning. A post can have enough merit to outweight the negative impression old age gives. I think the lack of a datestamp can often lead to confusion or mild bewilderment as the reader tries to guesstimate time con

I estimate the percentage of searches I do from an actual Google web page is less than 0.5% (not counting searching again from the results page). I always search directly through my browser, whether that is "g <search terms>" in Op

Overall, I think the survey needs a bit more polish. Add another option each for Q4 ("less than monthly") and Q5 ("None"). Possibly have Q5 allow more than one answer. Perhaps rephrase Q7 to "How long do your branches typically last?" if

It may be helpful to move the datestamps of Ruby Inside's entries up to the top, and more prominently style them (size, colour). I was this close to chastising you for not having datestamps at all :) until I noticed the one for this articl

I commit to version control very often. Further, with version control, you annotate the commits with meaningful messages, and you (presumably) commit at meaningful points in time. For example, you (usually) wouldn't commit in the middle o

So does this feature handle history branching and merging? Or are all revisions in one single linear history?

I like leaving things open, but I'm really curious how having over 30 tabs is an improved user experience. The most common places I visit are either always etched in the address bar history, and so are reachable in a few keystrokes, or hav

Hm. When I cliked on the Ebook "Add to Cart", Opera complained that the encryption key length was too short, and thus that the site was insufficiently secure.

The main reason I use MIT is so that I can use my open source code in my own commercial endeavours without "infecting" that commercial codebase, which needs to remain closed source.

I have to admit, that's some of the friendliest looking assembly source code I've seen. http://www.menuetos.net/e64.asm Granted, I haven't looked at assembly in over 15 years...

Maybe I'm too much of a geek, or not enough of one, but I got a kick out of the "a dozen or so comments" turning into "71 comments" a second or two after page load.

It's coded so that we only have to check if it works in Firefox. It's not like we're explicitly trying to leverage Firefox-only markup or CSS. I believe the idea is to reduce waste of development time and effort. I think I'm going to cal

Technical merits aside, my opinion is that the name and theme (see the FAQ page) are crude, and a turn off, bordering on offensive. That their nature would be glossed over, ignored, or even not noticed certainly speaks about our industry a

I don't work for a startup (unless you count 10+ years old as "startup") but they're a PHP shop (as far as frontend goes, anyway). For all my contract work, I use Ramaze.
