No, this has been one of the fundamental UI differences between Mac OS (from farther back than OS X) and Windows/Linux. Mac windows can only be resized from the bottom-right, with those other points being used to drag the window around.

Can you give an example? I have disliked all the column-based screen reading formats I've ever seen.

Did you read it? This isn't a "your site isn't usable to the 1% of users with motor disabilities" Nielsen article. WSJ spent money to create an app that, because of one poor piece of text, made existing, paying customers dislike them. And n

This is not the question asked. The question is specifically about XML documents, where there is a single and quite easy correct answer for the indentation.

The context in the original question makes clear: the OP is not looking to save space. He wants to take out the structural (tabbed) spacing inherent from the nesting of XML in order to make it visually clear where documents have manually-in

Spot on. This isn't about prudishly getting rid of all nudity and violence. It's not about believing that people who play violent games necessarily become violent people. It's about the fact that our brains are wired to seek order and ident

I like that Nokia has laid out visually the physical 3d objects that model the interface behavior. iPhone applications frequently seem to ignore this very basic idea. The level of realism even gets down to specifying a common light source w

I think it is worth mentioning that while the GUI could use a few tweaks, the overall user experience was amazing. And got right a number of things that were hard or tempting to get wrong: 1. Let me enter an email address separate from my G

This is a very interesting report. I would add one anecdotal piece of information: having lived and visited all around the US, the places I would consider living permanently (California, Washington, New Mexico, Maryland, New York) all rank

You hit the nail on the head. JavaScript is just not built for shared-data concurrency, but passing data back and forth to web workers provides a way to speed up computation-intensive tasks, decouple long processing times from the UI event

Fantastic! I am glad to see support for HTTP 1.1. Anyone know if unicorn/Rails 3.1 chunked responses will work out of the box?

It would be fantastic if someone would release a capistrano/rails plugin that lets you specify when to build the assets and where to send them, for those of us who have static assets on different servers from production Rails apps.

I was recently rereading Frankenstein, and in the preface, the author tries to refute the then-common notion that the writing and reading of novels represented a moral plague of laziness and indolence. The exciting plots and long page-count

These are good, I am pondering how to add to them. I think I would like to start with a principles section. It is at least possible these days to get a "principles of CS" education. But the principles of front-end are somewhat different. 1.

I just want to say that this is a fantastic app and fits a longing I didn't even know I had. While a lot of comments below note nitpicks, I want to just commend the author for a fantastic product. I hope it advances and is for sale soon!

And machine instructions aren't going away, because that's what those C server applications compile down to. But the "web stack," like the other layers before it, is becoming a black box which many developers won't need to know about to do

Early animated movies mostly did well, and resonated with people, because of excellent voice acting from recognizable actors. (Think Toy Story.) Up's gambit is to show that well-orchestrated music and animation can surpass that. It isn't te

There is an enormous school of thought around that question, and current opinion leans against you. The question is: is the bigger problem workers occasionally being slow, or workers doing things to a fixed schedule such that they can't ide

Marvelous. I am glad to see someone emphasizing structure and practice in early math curricula. While it is possible to overemphasize memorization and rote practice, the pendulum has certainly swung too far the other direction as a reaction

As in most things, people are more important than methods. Now, there is some correlation, as people who care about teaching kids to really learn will tend to be more involved in Montessori or other small private schools or magnet public sc
