Didn't you hear? Steve Jobs officially ruled Flash useless! Get with the times, cretin!

Is this comment even serious? You've been on this site for nearly two years now... how many articles have there been that talk about this issue, explaining that the equation you have given (while true) doesn't work because E and B aren't ne

On the iPhone I don't think its that big a deal, but the iPad is a bit different. The closer a device gets to replacing a computer, the more important it starts to be.

They may be low power compared to other implementations of the same, but I'd be very surprised to hear that the same program written in html5 and JS didn't consume more power than an app equivalent. Ever use Meebo? Ever look at how resource

Not trying to pick on you, but what other motivator exists within the context of a todo list?

Its mainly the language that makes the difference. By having such a strict type system, the language can know for sure that something is safe to parallelize.

Don't underestimate persuasion techniques. If they can convince an entire group of people to simultaneously commit suicide, they can probably convince them to eat Pringles.

Not really related at all to this discussion, and not technically the first line (though its on the first page), but this line from Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer was the most captivating book starter for me ever: "I have no money, no res

Ya, seriously. I'm pretty sure most farmers, truck drivers, and police officers didn't start in lucrative careers first.

Women heavily select for intelligence when choosing egg donors. Eggs from high SAT donors go for many times more than normal. Then again, choosing an egg donor is much more cerebral than choosing a man. Not nearly as hormonal as sex.

At least you think you would. I'm not saying you're wrong, or that I know you better than you know yourself (I definitely don't), but sometimes its hard to separate what you "like" from what is culturally sexually driven. Or rephrased, why

In what sense? This only addressed 3.3.1 indirectly. It made it clear that Flash was a target, but said absolutely nothing about other targets. Assuming everyone is in the clear from this would be a mistake, I think.

I get what you mean, but it shouldn't be that surprising. He started out technical, and most people with that mindset don't just stop thinking that way.

Retired? By Microsoft, perhaps, but not by a large chunk of users. Still large enough to matter, for most sites.

The article is about Flash though. They clarified about Flash specifically, but reading other things into this seems foolhardy.

It's true. Its fine on my MBP, but I can't stand it on Windows. It feels sluggish on a quad core processor. How that is even possible I don't know, but it does.

We all remember, but they changed their minds and now fully embrace the app store, and even use it as a major marketing point. Suggesting we go back to it now is a bit pre-mature, I think. JS simply doesn't run comparably to native apps, so

You consider that table of contents mess a "nit"? It's embarrassing.

But it does take attention, at least until it's a habit. In order to insure you actually do the steps after every meal, etc, you either need to be thinking about it all the time, or use some other device to remind you. Eventually, it'll be

I also have a diabetic friend, and yes, I was exaggerating. I suppose I should be careful, as its probably not obvious enough that everyone would realize I was. I agree the information is interesting, but the collecting is a huge hassle. Th

For me, its completely the time spent collecting it. If I could get all that data with no energy or attention spent towards it, I'd be all for it.

by Psyonic 16y ago
That's not simple at all. You'd need to be analyzing your energy levels constantly to figure out things like that. Sounds like the life of a diabetic, testing his blood sugar every half hour. That's usually considered a downside.

My gut-feeling is similar, and I've been trying to fight against it lately. I don't intend to measure my entire life, but I do want to know I'm progressing.

I still would, and think the same for Blippy. I have nothing against people using Twitter, but I don't have a use for it personally. God, can you imagine the conversations this will start? "So, I see you bought a new belt at American Eagle

There is a big difference, actually, that is better/worse depending on your needs. Dropbox (at least right now) automatically syncs all files to the local disk of all linked accounts. This is often advantageous (the files are ready right wh
