Just for future reference, if you right click on a video on youtube, you can click copy link at current time to lazy link to 2m50s so you don't have to say "jump to this time." http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v..

Oh goodie, another arrogant whine by raganwald where he can't understand why the greatest minds (implying people writing code are somehow the greatest minds) aren't doing what he thinks is important. This post makes two incorrect assumpti

Give me a break. Do you think Dell really wanted to give this only to customers who loved it? No! The point of these beta tests is to get feedback from people. If they only gave to people who say "it's so great I love it!" what's the point

I'm sure your parents' generation would ask why you were so negative. They vanquished Hitler and saved the world. So what's there to complain about? It's that these damn kids just don't understand everything I had to struggle for. Or mayb

That's a terrible analogy. JS is small and simple but it's far far far more powerful and friendly than MIPS. What functionality is missing from JavaScript that needs to be supplemented by the things outlined in this post? What kind of thing

So the moral of the story is... cross that bridge when you get to it. Ha-ha! GET IT? No seriously, though. That's the lesson. Build for actual need now, not something you think you might need in the future.

So I'm a web developer, as I imagine a large portion of the Hacker News community is. I learned to program on C in college, but am interested in learning a more proper (in the engineering sense) way of programming C. Should I look at this b

Why not save everything they enter and then validate later. I'd rather get bad email addresses while letting everything in than lose valid email addresses but block bad input.

I'd love to see numbers to compare this to the sale of previous iPhones. My gut instinct says this is a supply-side issue more than a popularity issue. Could google be keeping supply low to keep demand up? Or was this such a popular product

Typical Microsoft of late. Apple makes a tablet, then Microsoft makes a tablet. Apple fires some executives, then Microsoft fires some executives.

So I've always wondered what happens to you as a human when you're effectively fired from a high level, high visibility position. How does Sinofsky feel right now, emotionally? How does he feel professionally? Is this something someone shak

Samsung sees the writing on the wall: Apple is going to ditch them in the next few years and start building chips themselves. Since the bridge is already burnt, why not make some extra money off them in the meantime?

You can't copy/paste pencil marks. Users can't interact with paper mock ups. You have to re-draw the menu on every page you mock up or tell the people you're showing the mock up to imagine it. Both of these suck.
