It is insightful, but still, she's only addressing a small part of the problem. The larger issue here is that Twitter facilitate this kind of activity. It should have been resolved between the two parties. She should never have contacted Tw

I wasn't implying that they should be bound by law to be decent, or use due process. I meant that they should be decent, and they should use due process, regardless.

The dispute should have been settled between the two users. Twitter had no place in this, unless they were forced to do something as a result of court action resulting from a private dispute, which they weren't.

Only the username was taken over. The account itself is still owned by the original user (just with a new username). Nothing private would have been transferred.

The blogger is a University lecturer. The address looks spammy because it's the name of a course module. It's not obvious though, so I thought I'd clear it up.

I completely agree. Twitter don't owe anything to anyone using their free services. I'm not arguing that Twitter is bound to any laws of decency, or due process. I am just debating that they should be. The article doesn't just serve as an a

If you're not willing to state your reasons for assuming that the source is "slightly suspicious looking", then why bother writing it? As for people somehow thinking they have the right to use Twitter's services like property - this is acti

I've already hinted at this kind of thing over in the related thread on Convore [ https://convore.com/django-community/wordpress-release-31-co... ]. I don't think you intended any controversy, but I think it would be in bad taste to keep th

The point made (below) by @dspillet is correct, and important for one very good reason: You will almost definitely have scripts that you have included after these two that depend on the jQuery object existing (otherwise what's the point in

You shouldn't have to depend on CDNs as there's no guarantee they'll be up all of the time. I usualayy have a local fallback that can be triggered in this way: <script type="text/JavaScript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jq

I think I may have spent so much time listening to Rosenstein that I ended up not knowing anything by the end of the video. There were far too many tech-hipster soundbytes which obscured the real value of the product. Thankfully I was able

I can honestly say, I have not been this excited about a project (or its potential uses) in a _long_ time. I'm now weighing up potential back-ends to turn this thing into a database-driven publishing framework, rather than a file-based one.

I've often thought the same. I've no yearning for an afterlife - I am more than willing to accept that once I'm dead, I'm gone. I also have no problem facing my own death - it'll happen when it happens. I certainly don't want to be immortal

I personally think that the topic is far too wide to provide a solid grounding in just one semester. What I would advise is that you should find out the common ways that that the students would use this knowledge, and explore the concepts t

This is what happens when you host new and exciting open source projects on GitHub, a social coding website. Contributing to open source projects is so much more accessible than it used to be, and the exposure that GitHub gives these projec

I agree. I feel that an app that has had Apple's good name attached to it should have at least went through better testing, perhaps even by Apple themselves. The suggestion that Gruber makes about the app having a page that slowly populates

by collypops 16y ago
I never once claimed that Gruber has never had a bad word to say about Apple. I follow his blog, and I agree with you that he's as impartial as I am about the things Apple either produce or endorse. What I do claim however is that in recent

His complaint about Apple in this instance wasn't about the app itself. It was with their APIs which limit background loading that he took issue with. Perhaps this post was in some way a reaction to people who share my opinion about his rec

I feel the same way. I'm 25, and if I thought I knew it all, I wouldn't be here. I consider all of you my peers, and feel like I'm missing out on the HN experience by not engaging you all. I plan to rectify this in 2011. I feel like I learn

It makes much more sense now! Thanks Jan. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the released content. Events like this are really important, and it's a shame that we can't all make it out to all of them.

I loved the message conveyed in the talk, as it addresses a lot of my concerns about JavaScript's exposure to new developers - my primary one being the Google search results. My only real hangup was with Chris' presentation style and tone;
