Why are you comparing a framework's documentation to a language docs? I would assume people using rails would already know ruby so it wouldn't make sense to categorize their documentation using some kind of arbitrary categorization. If yo

I have flash on my N1 too (froyo), but it's definitely noticeable when the webpage has flash on it -- even when it's a tiny flash ad somewhere. Scrolling the webpage becomes really choppy -- sometimes I wish I could disable all flash excep

This might be especially valuable for startups who don't currently live in the valley.

I wouldn't think so...

There's always backports.org :-) I'm surprised how many debian users don't know about backports. The packages there are quite stable and is useful for the one or two things you need updated versions of.

on the bright side, there's now a great reason for 12yr olds to beg their parents for an iPhone 4.

It's hard to say though... given that being gay is most likely in the genes, which obviously come from a heterosexual creation. So if the gay population will always have a 10% yield in the gene pool, I don't think natural selection will h

Video is more powerful potentially, but it's also very hard to "edit". I remember applying to YC via a video app and I probably had to redo the video at least 10 times before I felt satisfied with it. It's easier to just edit text with a

Well if there are specific issues on mailman, it will make it that much hard to google for, especially since the other mailman project is similar. Your project name doesn't even make sense... a mailman delivers mail, not route incoming ma

You can get 3rd party tools to configure this if you want. Use something like BetterTouchTool if you want to configure a gesture to fire up GMail. Right now I have a 3-finger swipe up for copy, and 3-finger swipe down for paste. I also h

Belkin is commodity hardware already. I would put Belkin along with Rosewill in the same bucket, only Rosewill products are half the price and much higher quality.

I have a macbook as well as an EeePC running ubuntu. I can say with absolute confidence that the EeePC trackpad is garbage -- laggy, imprecise, slow, no multitouch. It's amazing how well Apple can innovate on something as simple as a trac

I also love the 3 finger navigation in web browser. I remember in the old days I would right click the page and select the "back" option so that I didn't actually have to do much movement.

by catch23 16y ago
The trackpad is super sensitive & precise. I have my speed cranked all the way up so I only have to move 1cm to move across half the screen.

Hah, I remember the game on my TI-80, so I'm sure it must have old origins -- potentially a classic in the amiga days?

Should we be doing video chat in 2010? People used telephones 30 years ago, and it's still popular now :-)

Well, anyone can still write crap code with Django, it doesn't require an enterprise C# language to produce crap. Django templates still have logic that needs to be tested & debugged so the template filter functions don't alleviate all

by catch23 16y ago
Agreed. It's like saying they should have written Quora using C# because there are more developers for it instead of a "fringe" language like Python.

It's just too bad that so many netbooks come with poorly supported wireless options that one has to resort to using ndiswrapper (which doesn't always work either!). The other day I bought an Asus Eee PC 1001P only to find that Ubuntu's netb

It's kind of odd that the default subsystems that come with Django are always replaced with something else -- why doesn't Django include some sane defaults instead?
413.
by catch23 16y ago
Shouldn't the included templating system be the one everyone uses? It doesn't make sense to include a templating system if everyone will eventually just replace it with something better. Even though there are alternative rails templating

I just find it strange that it took the Django project so long to finally realize this. Django 1.2 was released in May 2010 -- we shouldn't be "innovating" on something as basic as an "if" statement on a 15 year old language. The unfortuna

It's funny the author put templating as one of the things he dislikes about rails, especially when the Django templating system is probably one of the worst (of all templating systems out there). They invented their own pseudo language for

The author of the article is misled here. The key difference is the home roasted coffee. You can get a popcorn machine and roast your own green coffee and use a normal drip coffee machine to brew. The taste is actually pretty significant
