Exactly. It's the kind of thing that for a large portion of the internet seems to be OK if it's celebrities and not OK if it's your girlfriend. I cannot comprehend how people think what he did is OK. (note that I'm not arguing about the har

"precious few threaded discussion models survive on the web." Citation needed. Seriously, you can't just casually throw out a phrase like that and not expect to back it up. HN seems to be going fine. Reddit seems to be going fine. Facebook

Same thing happened with Gmail back at the start. I guess it goes to show that web searches are a very specific kind of search, and just because Google is good at that doesn't mean it's good at anything else (relevance on the web is one obv

I'm not sure what you mean here. Everything is stored locally, so it's not like it's going off to a website to get your token. Are you saying that because the device is networked it is by definition vulnerable to hackers and so cannot be a

This is interesting, I've never considered using an alternative app for google 2fa tokens.. mostly because the app Just Works. It's literally one tap and it shows the token I need to type into the website, I'm not sure how it could get any

Exactly, their "solution" doesn't actually solve the problem people had. Also, {}? Why not: logger.debug(String.format("Hi, %s %s", u.getA(), u.getB())); If they wanted to have format capabilities in the logger, why didn't they jus

I'm sorry if I confused you by using the term subjective. You're right, I meant personal. And I certainly care about usability, my point is that no one has ever been able to convince me about why IDEA has better usability, or if the suppo

I honestly can't understand why people love IDEA so much. I know lots of people who swear by it, but absolutely none of them can articulate why. Often they say Eclipse sucks, which is completely ignoring the question, and usually doesn't co

Incidentally, I've had someone (judging from the last name I get to see in the email, a Chinese person) use one of my email addresses to register a WoW account. You don't actually need to verify the email address, so they don't need access.

Gah! So, I tried your top three and im sorry to report it's a trifecta of failure: Hacker News Beta renders really s owly, Hacker News Android performs well but doesn't support landscape (it stays in profile) and Hacker News Droid performs

You can find quite a few of these, and every time I see them linked I shake my head in confusion. I don't understand what I'm supposed to take away from this. That there exists in the world badly named Java classes? And? Is the implication

I have a Prime, and I remember going through all the available apps ~6 months ago and uninstalling them all. They were either bad apps in general or were potentially nice phone-sized apps with no optimisation done for tablets. When I say op

> Imagine if when Microsoft was designing Windows 7 they said "well, no one is using IPv6 right now so we won't include any support." That's not a fair comparison. IPv6 is required so our internet doesn't crumble around us, LTE is just

by SCdF 14y ago
Remember, outside of the US LTE is essentially a non-feature, so there are lots of people who don't actually care. Then there are the people who could use LTE, but find their current network fast enough. I live in a place with no LTE, but

This does seem like a kickstarter waiting to happen. Open source laptop / netbook with an eink display, running Linux, perhaps with a modified distro with some tweaks based on the low refresh rate of eink (e.g. no animations, less drag and

So I'm not an American nor do I live in America, but you can't possibly be serious? Am I misreading, or are you actually saying that the US is heading toward every non 'entrepreneur' essentially quitting their jobs and getting the benefit?

I'm not too concerned about this from a marketing standpoint. It's unfortunate that people started to view 'likes' as an RSS feed replacement, but that opinion will change now most stuff doesn't get through. What really frustrates me is tha

I'm not going to put judgement on this statement, but here is (what I'm fairly sure is) the truth: most people developing software (we're talking, not in silicon valley, or in the united states, but globally) need exactly none of this. My c

I guess that was my point about using them 'wrong'. If you need to have a bullet point for checking your email, fixing bugs (as a general activity) or eating lunch, you're using them wrong.

Jeff this is a bit fallacious. There is a fairly intelligible difference between "keeping a list of bugs that need to be fixed never works let's just remember it in our heads" and "bug databases often get misused and the result is they fill

This is an interesting reaction, but I'm not sure it goes deep enough. What is a bug tracking system if not a glorified todo list? What is a shopping list if not a glorified todo: buy X list? When you think up a cool idea for a project or l
