I think that this 'world changing' stuff is diluting the power of peoples' mindsets. How could you convincingly believe that, let's say Foursquare, is world changing? And that's a successful enough example. Why not just that it's a 'money e

Well, just to play devil's advocate to the article, foursquare (to pick one example) is something that nobody wanted, surely. 'Make people want something' could be equally important..?

No wonder my website, foo.bar.biz has been getting so much traffic :o I'd rather . notation than "" any day. Doesn't seem to work now...

At a complete guess, i'd guess that their parser would check for usage of a plus that doesn't fit the boolean mould and doesn't count it as such. And i guess too, because like you say...autocomplete knows about it, it has exceptions for acc

by anjc 15y ago
Ah ok that makes sense, thanks. I'm just mainly surprised at how little usage there was of the operator to begin with. I use it (used to use it) probably 20+ times a day, and would've assumed that it's common enough, at least in certain cir

Could you explain how exactly the + operator is used incorrectly? I know that personally i often end up with bizarre looking searches, purely because i know what i'm searching for. e.g. it might include purposeful spelling mistakes, requiri

by anjc 15y ago
Spelling correction has nothing to do with "" being worse than +. I think a lot of us would welcome spelling suggestions while we're using our + operator.

Can somebody tell me what the point is? How much of a saving are you getting by transferring json data+metadata versus what would normally be sent. I'm ignoring the extra time that would be required to implement and test it. And like you sa

This surely hasn't been a major problem since probably the 14.4k modem stages for typical sites, and, even if it was, wouldn't limit accessibility (except in the sense that it'd delay viewing by a few milliseconds->seconds). Especially

Ah ok understood, thanks.

If javascript being off makes your site not work, or not viewable at least, then that's the very definition of not being accessible (i'm not limiting 'accessible' to only mean 'available to people with disabilities' like you appear to be) E

So does this mean you've to support two...paradigms and keep the results similar for each version?

by anjc 15y ago
Yeah, there's no law which says your website must be accessible...

This is probably a privileged viewpoint which is only possible in certain cases, i'm guessing (i'm not saying that you or me are privileged, necessarily...just that it's still a 'luxury' to some extent)

That's nice and all, but most humans in the world (including the western world) don't have the luxury of being able to let themselves be unsettled daily :/

Yeah i get you, negativity can be infectious. But like i said, some bosses can deal with it well, some can't, but either way...firing people because of it is a silly solution.

Bender: Wow, your kid is great. How hard you say you had to hit him? Lady: Fairly hard.

Yeah, in my limited experience, that's always been the case.

"""I wanted a happy culture. So I fired all the unhappy people.""" Very good for morale, there. Maybe companies could put some sort of electrocution-collar onto employees, and the moment they exhibit any sort of behavior that may or may not

Not only that but, as a new mac user, it seems like there are several common keystroke types. Fn+x, ctrl+x, alt+x, cmd+x, cmd+shift+x; maybe there's some logic behind it but i can't find any. It seems like the windows system is a bit more u

I think learning that 'end' means 'end of document' is a lot more intuitive than fn+right.

It really does come across as either naive, delusional, or socially maladjusted, sometimes. Ah and you're right on the 'solving problems' thing, it'd have to solve somebody's problem to get any sales.

I was an apprentice chef, and it is true what you're saying, but it's still hard physical work no matter where you are. Kind of slightly more physical in canteen style settings (or the ones i was in) because you're cooking/carrying far bigg

You'd be surprised at how much regular money some of the shittiest looking shareware made/makes people. And i guess that's the same case with the app store, there's a lot of crap that you and I will never need, but if we look for some niche

"""Stop making apps, or gimmicks, things that don’t solve problems""" I hate the false sheen of 'altruism' that seems to be pervading start-up (i can't think of a better word to describe it) circles. Solving problems. Changing the world. Fu

Any time i've looked into this, especially whenever i've found bugs (in things like ODE), i always find stories of people submitting patches that get ignored and similar tales...i presume one has to get involved in the community first somew

What's the process generally like though? Hang around the community bug testing for a few years first?

This mightn't be the appropriate place to ask this. But. Is there anything like Google Summer of Code for non-students? I had the chance to do it a few years ago in college, and now regret not doing it. You could say, just contribute to som

Computer vision is made very easy with OpenCV and, say, C...but it's quickly outgrown if you're doing anything meaty.
