I don't think anything could be further from the truth. If anything, I think HTML is very much embracing this direction with web components and their underlying technology, ShadowDOM[1]. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/sh

It has definitely been posted to HN numerous times in the past. However, it seems the reason it was posted again this time is because the jsPDF website had a major design revamp. At least, it looks very different from when I last used it ~6

Cheerio is really really awesome. I've used it to build a considerably sophisticated web scraping backend to wrap my school's homework website and re-expose/augment via node/mongo/backbone/websockets. There are

How can I, as an individual (or perhaps a company) opt out? I'm sure some people would benefit from this service, but as others pointed out, I do not want my emails being harvested.

I for one am really happy to see Apple getting really serious about all this mapping and transit data. Competing with Google on this front is going to be a win for the consumer, I believe.

At the rate of repeating what everyone else has said, this is truly impressive. Initial loading was a bit choppy and slow on Safari 6.1 on 10.8.4, but after that it was smooth. It's projects like this that reinforce my belief that A: b

Money, time, and experience. All of these things have changed since over the past year or so, and there's been a lot of internal discussion about moving to Debian. In fact, it's almost sure to happen for Isis+1 (Isis is the name o

As much as it brightens my day to see a project I worked on (I'm actually the guy who filmed that video in the article) make it to HN's front page, it also makes me sad a bit. It makes me sad because of the usual troupe of folks w

So by that characterization, virtally no GNU/Linux distro is actually worthy of being called an OS. That's fine if you want to say that, but you have to understand what that actually means. As for differences beyond the "visu

Hi, I'm on the elementary team. I'm not sure how exactly you "emailed support" because we don't have a support email address, but I would encourage you to check out our support landing page here: http://e

This is really well thought out. I didn't have to read a single word other than the title before I intuited how to use the editor. That's good design.

I appreciate your well-thought out reply, but I was simply referring to the tree of comments responding to my own original comment. Asserting that further discussion was (and is) moot was neither a non-sequitur nor based on inconsistent e

This entire discussion is moot since Facebook does not, in fact, require you to log in to see content. At least not the content linked in this thread.

I have exactly the same laptop, purchased from an Apple store ~14 months ago. I have more than double his cycle count at 569. My battery is at 85% capacity. I'd say your battery is defective, or you were doing something to it that caus

That's precisely what I'm disagreeing with. Not everyone sees configuring a system as "merely tedious busy-work". I for one like setting things up. It might be frustrating, but there's also an enjoyable element of a

As a human this fascinates and excites me because of the possibilities for innovation. As a hacker this fascinates and excites me because of the potential for abuse and, well, hacking. This is really cool stuff. I can't wait to see wha

To use his language, I agree that the "whole thing fucked", but I also think it's fun. I enjoy the fact that things are a challenge and sometimes quirky. Sure, down in the trenches it makes you want to pull your hear out. And

The reason you can't "call us out on it" is because it simply isn't a lie. You may feel differently, but (if it matters), I give you my word that we did not intend for it to look like OS X. As others have pointed out,

Thanks for the followup -- I agree. I didn't comment on the mouse icon simply because I didn't make it. Switchboard does not ship with icons, it simply uses whichever relevant icons are available in the theme (e.g "preference

All I can say in response to this is that design is easier said than done. We didn't copy, we came to the same conclusions. I'm not saying those are the only conclusions, but we're not human-computer interaction theorists,

I assume you were being sarcastic, but in case you weren't: We don't have folders, you can't move the icons around, you can browse by category[0], and the layout (other than the fact that we have icons in a grid) is completel

Please don't put words in my mouth. There is a difference between "not caring if it benefits people" and making increasing our audience our #1 priority. We care about spreading our efforts. We care about having a nice public
