While these specific challenges are trivial now because of increased memory and CPU, user expectations have increased too, requiring more advanced features which are not trivial to implement across different platforms. Users now expect good

Every patent application needs these three questions answered: 1. What's novel about this? 2. What's not obvious about this to an average professional in this field? 3. What is useful about this? In this case, 3 is a given

I think I posted a few of these ( http://ktype.net/wiki/ ) on HN as I wrote them but barely got any votes so I wasn't sure if HN was the best avenue for it. When I get some time, I will do a write up on how I built the suggestion engine.

I used tweets because they're informal and mention a lot of "what to do" and "how I feel" topics, which I think is very important for basic communication, especially for individuals with multiple disabilities. A bonus is that I get a lot of

Parent selector is cool but I've needed it at most 2-3% of the time when designing a site. As of now, it doesn't appear to support things I really need in almost all mid-large site layouts: variables, mixins/functions, operations, and names
