LayerVault, the same people who brought you DesignerNews. If that's indeed them who sent the notice, they are just shitting all over their reputation and alienating a lot of people. Talk about "starting off on the wrong foot"... and for wha

Tangentially related - The demo page is a representative case of the "designer font-size" setting. I get exactly 4 lines of text on the first pageful. Not everyone surfs on Retina displays or humongous iMac panels at 1080 vertical resolutio

You can't abandon them if you want to have fast code. It is possible to write code in a portable fashion, accepting utf-8 as a standard string encoding, but this will then require converting to/from utf-16 for virtually every Windows API ca

It's good to see the code using K&R naming convention (sans the class names starting with _). On the other hand, it's written in a C++ dialect that's incompatible with the one we are using. It also has quite a few unnecessary tie-ins in

Dror, if you re-read the review, it's quite obvious that the root of the backlash is not in what you claim, but rather in not giving an explicit credit to x264 team. To everyone else - there's a very simple resolution to this situation. In

I don't understand the problem with Twitter ads. A simple script gets rid of all Twitter website junk quietly and automatically. No Promoted tweets, no "You may want to follow" nags, no "Now trending" junk. Nothing, but a stream of tweets f

It's only confusing if you are a language parser. I doubt that anyone else would have any problem guessing what this means.

Am I the only one who doesn't find this terribly exciting? I mean, it's a neat idea, but I don't see it to be that interesting to actually play with. The beauty of each set is its self-consistency. If you attached this to that, then there's

This has some usability issues, e.g. you drag a file accidentally to another box, then change your mind and drag it back while it is still being copied or moved in the original direction. This sort of thing. It looks like a simple and nat

I saw the exact same situation before. We were looking to make few custom pieces for our apartment and found a guy, in his early 50s, who did an incredible job. I also chatted with him and he too was complaining that the client stream is dw

Nice. Very Unix-ish in its spirit. The client-server arrangement is backwards though :) Typical arrangement is for the clients to do the "anyone there?" broadcast, for the servers to reply and then the client would select the server, connec

It'd be interesting to see how jobs listings from "Tell HN: Who's hiring" threads perform. Both from employer and candidate perspectives. Is anyone willing to share?

No, not because of the jumpers. It's to capture the car to car accidents and the road rage incidents. Too many people have bought their driving licenses and drive as if they are the only people on the road. Too many of these come from the c

Sonic boom followed in 2 minutes, so the altitude was in 30-40km range. That's damn impressive, with all the sharp shadows from the buildings ... damn.

The RT article quote local (military) newspaper as saying "A missile salvo blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers". I wonder if it's true.

The opposite of one man's "tiny-tiny" is another man's "10 lines per screen" in humongous "screw-you-,-i-have-a-retina-mbp" designer typeface. The solution is there, but it's not working. The CSS 'pt' size measure was supposed to address th
