Since most ad blockers are whitelist-only, I assume that people using a blacklist ad blocker are explicitly blocking sites with annoying ads. Of course that's merely a generalization based on how I think I would use it. If the stats are sh

I believe it was after reading a discussion here on HN that I began a similar experiment. It's been almost a week and I agree with bitboxer's assessment overall. Most of the ads seem to stay out of the way. Some are overwhelming or at the

I'm also a fan, but only on my fairly large multiple-monitor setup. I find it's consistently getting in my way (or staying out of my way) at the wrong times on my thinkpad. Which is why I wonder the same as you - as on my netbook and think

I've found that if you click "Cancel", it will still take you to the linked article, without actually having the "App" added to your profile. Edit: added clarification.

It can be argued that your son could do quite well as a developer without a college degree and without having to be a star.

I agree that burnout is a serious issue and relaxation is of the utmost importance. That said, I've hit and many times surpassed the 80-hour work week for weekly - and occasionally monthly stretches - plenty of times in my past 10+ years a

You can do this already. I've done it on a few client projects, mostly to make an instant API for my own JS needs on any page. Make it so every page extension can be changed to .json, and the response is the data used to build that page. T

I can't put my finger on it but something about the typography on this site makes it difficult on the eyes. Maybe it's a lack of line spacing, or a lack of whitespace between the content and the right column, or the lack of margins around

I agree, and it's unfortunate that the web hasn't actually caught up yet. Uploading files via the browser, working with sockets, and consistent video / audio playback are still seriously crippled in the current browser landscape. I hope t

I wholeheartedly agree that communication is the issue. And everybody is doing an awful job of it right now (Users and Canonical). "Figuring out what the user wants" isn't necessarily the answer either. Not if your goals are as lofty as b

#3 is one of my biggest gripes, in general. The Gimp is one of the worst products I've ever taken the time to try to learn. I'm not just tweaking photos, I'm trying to do some work as a professional, working on files given to me by other

These sorts of complaints seem so absurdly dramatic. I don't understand the reasoning behind them. They somehow bring up an eerie image in my head of someone holding their spouse hostage in the basement for lightly mentioning that they wa

I personally prefer the smaller screen. It's why I have a hard time moving away from my Droid Incredible. It's the perfect size for something that lives in a pocket.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: While liking Ted's writing is a matter of taste, he makes good points. You probably shouldn't be trying to beat nginx or apache with node.js. That is a solid point. A couple years ago, I would ha

I don't understand how this is considered pollution. How is this different from having a separate page per slide? It seems we have the same result but with a better user experience. Isn't this a feature allowing each slide to be linkabl

As a "web designer", HTML/CSS are your medium. If you don't understand your medium, you don't understand your craft. Last I checked, web browsers don't understand PSD files, which means without HTML/CSS the design isn't finished. Imagine
