consumers were high on the rush of swapping music hard drive to hard drive for nothing. Oof.

I'd be worried about intermixing work + life like that. I've recently tried to be better about keeping my mornings and nights work-free, and I feel better because of it. Do you find that to be a problem at all, and if so, how do you deal wi

"If you want to write a similar book for Ruby then have some class and use your own words and write your own book." I'd say that's harsh, and unnecessary. I'd feel attacked if that was directed at me, too, especially if I felt (rightly or n

Unfortunately, CoffeeScript doesn't support implicit "this". I'm working on that problem, and I hope to share it soon.

That article would have been a lot more useful if they reduced the snark. Thank you for linking it though.

Could you clarify this comment? I'm unsure what HTML5 does out of the box, and what flags you're referring to. Thanks!

Interesting. A big complaint leveled against Flash was that it steals keyboard focus. This causes problems when you're playing a Flash game and then want to tab away from the screen. In this instance, that it doesn't delegate control to the

I'm really surprised this is article is being upvoted. It's a recap of another article from another site, and the sample diet for each category is totally arbitrary. It might be a good topic for discussion, but by itself is wholly lacking i

What does '"Skolka kilometer Volgograd?" will do. When they answer, nod, smile, shake their hand and say, "Speciba."' mean? I'm having no luck with online translators.

I'm being a little snarky here, but: more and more, Mozilla reminds me of that "friend" that let me play with all their toys, and then watched me enjoy it. Kind of an Eyes Wide Shut thing, if you know what I mean. Weird...

I liked the article, but little bits don't add up. I'd say it's an entertaining read, but maybe not as solid on information as I'd expect for a frontpage HN article.

Ah -- you're right. I now see that the app sells for 99 cents. To slightly rephrase: even without counting Apple's and LinkShare's cut, the developer would still need a 10% purchase rate just to break even (10 cents * 10 people = 1 purchas

Could part of the issue be the ad? I don't mean to offend, but it didn't seem like it would inspire many clicks. You might want to give a better indication of what the game is about, and give a really strong CTA (call to action). Something

I really like your comment, and appreciate that someone with real world experience is giving an inside look into dealing with Facebook. I doubt any viable organization would act any differently about bad press. Are you trying to say in you

The decision to put the content that the NYTimes produces behind a paywall should be the decision of the NYTimes. Regardless of how great the idea is, how noble the intent, and how you're honestly trying to pay for the content, it's not yo

So "piracy"* is okay so long as the money ends up in the hands of the producers? Maybe you're not saying that, but it's the implication I picked up. That's such a strange scenario. Instead of paying the theatre $11.00, I instead pay a third

I liked this answer enough to upvote it, but my honest question (the parent) has been downvoted. Could someone share some insight why? I switched from Reddit to HN because I thought this community was less prone to stuff like that, but mayb

Who's watching the watchmen? How do you know that this blog has their facts straight? Have you read any rebuttals to this post? (Already, certain issues that seemed outrageous have been deflated by other commenters.) *For the record, I feel

I don't think I agree with kachingle's stance. Casting the situation into one I can more easily grasp: What if I feel that movies should be free; that there be an "open-theatre"? I pay my $11.00, set up my camera and sound equipment, and pr

Sorry -- I'd thought of including it in the link title, but I'd had the realization that this was an old article about midway through, and for some reason it increased my satisfaction in reading it. The clues are all there - the prices are

I think they're using it for a cross-browser solution for rendering custom fonts. There's nothing wrong with that, though we'd be better served if they used a progressive enhancement strategy -- they're replacing a single space character wi
