I am forced to agree. Recently I was looking to buy a few books and the reviews had a recurring theme: The e-books had a lot of typesetting, grammatical issues etc. while the print books were fine. I bought printed copies for all of them. T

I have to disagree with you. It is not just about effort. It is also about opportunity cost. Imagine you work for someone else and then you tell them that for the kind of UI we want I can ensure it works for 95% of Android devices if you gi

I don't remember having to 'hope' that Google accepts an app through a human review before allowing it on their store. I like neither Apple nor Google but I believe we shouldn't overlook facts that clearly differentiate

I had to go to the doctor recently. Among the 'tests' he did was to check different parts of my chest with a stethoscope (and noted that there was a mild wheeze). Another was gently pressing particular points on my throat and aske

I read the page at 1920x1200 and I didn't even notice the footer until I started reading the comments in this thread. Once I saw it, it did feel odd though. Only after this did I realise that one must pay attention to smaller screens t

After reading about meditation recently, I felt inspired and have been trying to meditate for 10 minutes every night before bed. I started this around a week ago. In the last two days I have begun to wonder if I should find a good teacher.

I submitted three (minor) patches for improving the performance of a couple of filters in Mozilla's SVG code. Those (minor) optimisations should be in this release. I hope to do a lot more. I too, like you, am a Mozilla fanboy. Unfortu

After all, if a moron such as myself can do it, genius such as yours should have absolutely no problem using unix-like systems. Saying things like this hurts the quality of your post and may not be HN-worthy. The rest of your post was goo

It is great to see that that the makers of FIREfox and thunderBIRD have risen from a lull (the ashes?) and are really looking like they are snowballing into a behemoth that works for users' freedom over the internet. They are really on a ro

If one likes tmux, may I recommend having a look at 'byobu'. It's built to use either tmux or screen as a backend and provides some features that make life slightly easier than using barebones tmux or screen. However, I must warn that it is
