   Yikes, that completely custom, non-standard UI is pretty jarring for me.

   I really can't stand this trend. When I took a look at Lift, it was riddled with these "magical" method definitions that look nice but mean absolutely nothing to someone who's new to the framework. I'll gladly take a self-explanatory alphan

   Basecamp gives you the comfort of not having to think about running your own project management software. GitHub gives you the comfort of not having to think about hosting your own git repositories. Doesn't every Software as a Service and

   I believe you still run your own servers and Google will fetch your content from them and distribute it through its CDN.

   I would define an impartial source as a group not affiliated with the political parties that are being compared in the infographic, not too complicated...

   Luckily Apple has included a nicely organized touchpad settings page with videos of all of the gestures (just like Snow Leopard had). If someone wants to learn the gestures and finds that they aren't simply intuitive (which I personally bel

   I'm not sure how he came to the conclusion that Lion isn't beginner-friendly anymore. The only reason it took him 20 minutes to get acclimated is because he's most likely been using advanced features of OS X (that were slightly changed in L

    Are there any representatives or senators working on fixing this yet? Is there a petition that we can sign? Some kind of site to raise awareness?

    I think this is the first (and hopefully last) Reddit-esque novelty account I've seen on HN.

    Interesting, but requires a browser plug-in? No thanks.

    What his screenshot doesn't show is that Finder does show the scrollbar for a couple seconds to indicate to the user that he/she can scroll to see more.

    Yikes, really? I'm still hitting a few pretty big bugs with full-screen apps and things like that. Okay then.

    Yeah, I definitely wouldn't rate Grooveshark 9/10. It's great, and I've happily used it for months, but it's no Spotify. Aside from the legal issues, the sound quality is generally pretty bad, the crowd-sourced music catalogue with incorrec

    A wiki is a simple idea that beginning web developers can get started with. http://riki.heroku.com/ was one of the first web applications I wrote a few years ago (using Rails 2.1.0).

    Oh wow, very interesting. I had definitely always thought that it was because Mozilla wanted the user to read the dialog. That's quite an innovative method to trick the user into installing the bad code.

    I could read the text fine. It seems like they even set it up so that the text turns black or white based on the lightness or darkness of the current background.

    I believe the main issue is that the stick can be configured so that Windows will automatically run an executable on the USB stick when it's plugged in, so OS X and Linux wouldn't be affected by that.

    Out of curiosity, why did you structure your emails like that? Personally, I used to have multiple addresses for different purposes but realized I didn't have a reason for doing it. I created a new address using myfirstname.mylastname@gmail

    MediaWiki is a large-scale PHP project that uses good design patterns, heavy usage of OOP, etc. If you're wondering about good development practices for PHP, I think MediaWiki's codebase is a good thing to look over.

    Wow, Amazon continues to amaze. I'd really love an iPhone app, though. This is kind of useless for me until they release one (I prefer iTunes to listening to music on my laptop, it's faster and has a nicer interface.)

    DotCloud has full Java support, it's just a matter of building a war file and deploying it.

    Not to mention iCloud, hugely improved notifications, iMessage, etc. I don't think Apple will have any problem convincing people to upgrade.

    I keep irssi connected to Freenode 24/7 in screen on a server, and I'm in channels for things like MongoDB, Rails, Git, EventMachine, etc. It's nice to turn to when I run into a wall while developing something.

    Two of Tumblr's three sources of revenue (featured directory listings and digital stickers to put on directory listings) are no longer after they ditched the old directory system a few months ago in favor of a curated one.
