Why is everyone comparing this to flash? Surely the problem with flash was one of accessibility and graceful degradation, rather than, say, having animated elements? There's nothing wrong with animations/transitions in the right context, ri

It's unambiguous that you're enthusiastic about node.js, it's ambiguous about whether you're able to express it well or not without cursing and are therefore frustrated.

by anjc 15y ago
I guess that depends on whether you want it to be ambiguous about whether you're frustrated or not.

Image what "This piece of software is fucking useless" would sound like if it was read out by Stephen Hawking's speech yoke, 'fuck' doesn't emphasize anything, the inflections and tone of your voice do. A charismatic person could convey far

I think the thing that you're not getting is that it doesn't show emotion. It might, to you, but it's not inherently emotional. This is a lesson that i keep learning over and over again in life through my various amateur creative endeavors

That's...a shame. And jarringly arrogant and naive. What a weird sentiment for you/him to have. Ye aren't political activists or anything...

Lots of things can be an expression of strong emotion...but swearing is often an expression of frustration. It's not professional, it's not cool, and in the wrong context it's childish. I swear every day, in the right contexts.

Yeah, that's what i'm wondering (i asked in another comment though), how much of the benefit of retweets was actually the public link building for you, on sites like reddit, rather than Google giving credence to links it tweets.

Jasus, i'll never get to 500. Those rules make sense, but the parent comment in this thread had been downvoted despite being correct. Fairly Redditish (the one thing that puts me off Reddit). Thanks anyway.

Thanks. To be honest, one of the things i liked most about HN was the lack of downvoting (I never realised it was possible...i thought the grey posts were caused by mods or something). I know in effect there's no real difference...but the w

Thanks, how do you downvote though?

Sorry you're right, i did change the meaning (even though i read the article :S). In that sense you're totally right, BCC doesn't convey credibility, it looks like a landing page, and personally, i'd immediately go off the site if it was a

I wasn't disagreeing with you, but so far as i can see, nearly all of the benefits you listed are marketing ones, which twitter is practically essential for these days. In terms of marketing a product, indexation and discovery aren't critic

Does Google still give weight to the .edu domain? It'd surely be unhelpful to proper meritorious rankings seeing as it's one of the first strategies SEOers will use?

The amazingly high quality of your content will be irrelevant if the keyword density on your page is one that Google deems to be low quality. """If you’re a productivity app, write a page for “increases productivity in Healthcare”, ano

This is something Google are surely working on, or, i hope they are. As much as the topic of SEO fascinates me, when it's successful it can be so deleterious to the quality of results. Google search is practically useless, for many searches

Is that 'second order impact' not tied to the public doing the link building for you, outside of twitter? E.g. blogs, reddit, etc, rather than Google actually putting ranking weight onto info in tweets?

"""When someone says design matters, it means having a pleasant design""" 'Pleasant' to who? Myspace's design is/was pleasant to teenagers, for example. So surely design is tied closely to the audience. If the goal is, let's say, making mon

What does it mean that your comment is half gray? You're more than likely totally correct so i hope it doesn't signify 'downvotes' or something...

They never said it doesn't have marketing juice, they're just talking about link building i presume. So surely it'd be better to focus on more solid SEO strategies than link building on no-follow sites and hoping that somebody mirrors it so

It'd also be fairly hard to convey haptic interaction. More fundamentally, it seems to me like there's no point in showing us something, even if it's achievable, if we have no frame of reference for understanding it, or believing that it's

"""these concept videos don't look far enough forward.""" If you look at any 'visions of the future' from the last 150 years, their visions retrospectively look silly and naive. From a forward looking perspective, though, would a true visio

That's bizarre. What happens if you type something that should have a plus? E.g. a phone number with the country code (+353 01 etc)

I like its style. I wasn't aware that that's the music from Lost...if i'd watched Lost it might've annoyed me. As everyone said, the spacebar clicking doesn't help, the mixed messages don't help (the share links at the end), the cursing is

Can you or somebody expand on that last bit...run vim locally on remote files? How? How does this improve lag? Any downsides to it? This would save me so much bother.

Exactly. Anecdotally, probably everybody i know, who adopted Apple products, at some point mentioned audio engineering or graphic design or something similar as being a driving force to the adoption, as if they were going to be the next Van
