It's funny to me to see people prizeing their tweets so highly. I reviewed mine a while back and realised they were inconsequential drivel, so I deleted them along with the account. Now I have a read-only account for reading the tweets of s

A jumplist menu doesn't support the content that an HTML menu lets you author. It's only a superficially sensible idea.

A jump list isn't an HTML document - I'm not sure describing it with html tags makes sense, since it'd be too easy to write invalid jumplist markup that's valid HTML. I could envisage somehow replacing RSS with HTML (use the right tags, in

Addressing specifically your comment on being fat: this could be explained by the fact that getting fat is no longer expensive .

the net effect So homework does help some kids. But it's unfair to do anything that helps some kids but not others, so it should be got rid of. The ideal is perhaps for parents to be able to choose whether to send their kids to a school t

Well those kids usually proceed along these lines, "mother fucker do you know who my dad is?". Initially I thought you were making a guess at what happened, but now I notice you are the OP. So... huh? There are dick-heads in the world tho

He should have stipulated that the HTML5 version must have smooth animation, like the Flash version.

It's like reading a horoscope in the first person plural - i.e. flattering generalities that make the target feel good/virtuous/whatever.

Any idea why TC have a 'twttr' style logo at the moment? http://techcrunch.com/2006/07/15/is-twttr-interesting/

Horribly laggy (1 second from click to change of appearance) on my EeePC in FF, where the buttons look good. Not laggy in Chrome where the buttons look a mess.

Stephenson is pretty tech savvy. I can't picture flim-flam merchants dazzling him with the concept of hyper text.

HTC Desire here. I watched the flash video in the newteevee site, and it played well. But when I wanted to pause it I found I couldn't, as the UI relies on mouse hover! I have flash disabled on my phone as it kills webpage performance.

You might be right, but if so it sounds like the talk of Linq, and syntax, and 'DSL's served to obscure his actual point, which is a shame. Guys, honestly, downvote if it makes you feel better.

Thanks. To my untrained eye that looks more like it could be called a DSL than the article, where mostly it's just creative whitespace formatting, as far as I can tell. What's going on with the underlining?

by confuzatron 16y ago
Flippant response: you're saying that nothing was added to Closure in order for some Closure code to get written? This is not unprecedented. Seriously - I don't see what's unusual about the syntax of these examples that makes them a DSL tha

"There's one huge difference between Cascalog and Linq: Linq is part of C#. You can't define Linq in terms of regular C#" So, the code snippets in this article aren't written in Clojure, but instead in some other custom language? I dont kno

To be honest, I don't think that's a big deal - 'false positives', whatever those might be in the case of backscatter machines, can be easily caught at the second stage - a pat-down. The bigger issue is blindly forcing everyone to effective

Android's browser is clunky dealing with multiple windows. I find occasionally I need to go and close down windows so a new one can be opened. Thing is, I had no idea I was opening multiple windows in the first place. Compared to the iPhone

My arithmetic may be wrong, but comparing the US figures with those of Germany, Americans work about 2 months more per year (8 hour days, 5 day weeks). Which is a lot.

I'm really gobsmacked by the amount of fevered bullshit conspiracy-theorising being spouted by the vast majority of folk on this page! You should be ashamed of yourselves. Fucking laughable. Down-vote away.
