Oh look, here's this walled-garden programming language again. Absolutely irrelevant to Silicon Valley startups, yet it still pollutes HN's RSS feed. Flagged FWIW.

Why does this kind of article feel like it was written by an astroturfer? I'm not saying the author is an astroturfer, but his article certainly has that pay-per-comment feel to it.

Can anyone point to a full-fledged review of The Old Reader? I could only find first impressions by googling around for a bit.

Nice responsive experience, but a little too busy for my taste.

You may be right, but I recognize some of Google's design language in this fork. Look at the buttons for example, they are flatter than those in the original work by Twitter.

There's some serious NIH-ism at Google.

Do you have a solution for setting a footer down and getting it to stay down in desktop mode?

Interesting. Not to go completely off-topic here, but does equalize.js work equally well with zepto in your experience?

Friends don't let friends use internet explorer. microsoft didn't like that and made internet explorer ads depicting us tech-savvy people as weirdos and nutjobs for recommending better browsers to our not-so-technical peers. This so-called

Why do all these posts by mvps feel ... clueless, mindless and fanboyish? I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's the ridiculous tone of defending the undefendable that all these posts have in common.

I also know who drew the linked comic: Simon Peyton Jones, the only person on planet Earth who still makes use of the Comic Sans font in 2013.

That's nice. If anyone has the time or inclination to look at the source, I'd be interested if this extension phones home in any way.

> Nobody really clicks through carousels anymore Is there a data point to back up this statement? I know I definitely do click through carousels, if I'm intrigued enough about what might be there.

Congrats on the pretty design. As a student of UX, I would be fascinated if you could summarize in a short braindump the UX design principles and thought processes that went into making this. You already mentioned how you think about the CT

I looked inside, I saw the words "most valuable", I immediately flagged. This is a walled-garden developer screaming over the wall, demanding we pay more attention to him and his favorite technologies.

Linux would have kept netbooks relevant by keeping them usable. It turned out netbooks are powerful enough to run a browser, an IM app and a few widgets, but as soon as you throw AV software on top of that, they screech to a halt.

Netbooks were originally intended to ship with Linux pre-installed, but to microsoft that meant letting consumers have an actual, real choice, and ballmer wouldn't have any of it (am I the only one who remembers a ms-asus join-venture site

Yay for that. And then they turn around and scream bloody murder about the ubiquity of -webkit-prefixing. Go figure.

I went straight into book editing mode, since I plan on publishing an ebook in the following months. The experience has been slightly frustrating. For instance, Shift+Enter when editing the contents of the title doesn't work as advertised.

Interesting point, but I have to disagree. Notice I have counted windows, Mac OS and Ubuntu but I left out Chromebooks since they are browser-locked. As such there are instances of Chrome I'm excluding.

It always leaves me dissatisfied to see the word "popular" in the context of web browsers, when people actually mean to say "ubiquitous". You know what would be a very interesting statistic? Take all windows PCs, look at usage of non-IE bro

Apple and microsoft can do as they please with devices they manufacture themselves. Harming the consumer comes into play when microsoft removes choice from the market by dictating restricted boot to OEMs in exchange for better licensing dea
