In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice…

I find it really interesting that I've been downvoted into oblivion for asking a question.

What are you talking about? The page was very explicit about what it meant: > It put the tools you needed to make a web page together in one app, and nobody had ever done that before. All I did was ask if Dreamweaver supported one part

Did Dreamweaver support all stages of web development, including uploading to your server? I think that's what Panic is talking about here, how Coda was your one-stop shop for everything, including deploying your site.

My impression is that the lawsuit was depressing QCOM but not affecting AAPL, and so the resolution of the lawsuit of course buoys QCOM without affecting AAPL.

If someone hacks your HN account they could redirect the Twitter link elsewhere. If the only 2 accounts you have are HN and Twitter then Keybase doesn't solve that problem, but if you have more accounts elsewhere that are well-known, t

Email is de-facto centralized at this point, with the overwhelming majority of email going through a small handful of giant providers. I don't remember the number anymore but some scary-high percentage of all email volume goes through

You say "best", except a long list of events and facts has no predictive power, no way to infer what the future will be, only describes what the present is. The whole point of a model is to be able to predict the future. So in tha

If you want to side-load apps, use Android. Completely serious here. The degree to which iOS is locked down is absolutely a feature for the overwhelming majority of users. If you don't like it, don't use it . Not all computing pl

The record labels are generally using systems set up to bypass DMCA in order to process high volumes of requests. For example, labels who issue takedowns of YouTube videos aren't submitting DMCA requests.

Wait, it's up to Twitter to sue, not the person whose content was taken down? So there's no recourse at all for the actual victim?

by eridius 8y ago
My understanding is there's supposed to be some penalty for submitting false DMCA complaints (assuming they weren't sent in good faith; it's hard to believe this was sent in good faith given that the complaint had no basis wh

I don't see the two situations as comparable. Websites are supposed to work on all browsers. But while Gecko is open-source, it only really cared about being Firefox's engine. And it's perfectly fine for a project like that t

"The Founder's Vision" implies a grand plan, not a compromise, and especially not a compromise driven by a single person.

by eridius 8y ago
If the Founders' Vision was to keep business and government separate, then why was New York City the capital of the US when George Washington was sworn in as president? It didn't last very long, but a lot of people wanted to keep

What I'd really like to see is "date this extension was last updated", and ideally a full changelog. If I see 2 extensions that claim to do the same thing, with similar star ratings, where one isn't being maintained anym

The initial warning last week said this was due to infants over 3 months who were capable of rolling and not using the harness. They also said only 10 deaths. Consumer Reports did an investigation and discovered 32 deaths, including some wh

VSCode has a ton of extensions but very frequently there's no good information about which extensions you should actually use, and whether you need to configure them to get the best behavior. For example, the other day I went to instal

I just read through that issue, I see nothing wrong with the responses. First was an acknowledgement that when opted out they were still sending an unnecessary "user opted out" telemetry event and that it would be removed. Then in

Where's the link between "collecting data on VSCode feature usage" and "gathering a list of all other apps the user has installed on their system and all web searches the user does"?
472.
by eridius 8y ago
Why would Microsoft gathering usage data about VSCode turn into spying on the user's other apps and web searches? There's no connection between the two. Tracking usage of VSCode features has a clear connection towards improving VS

It's, as I said, that programs should use line terminators, but we cannot mandate that all programs do use line terminators, so it's still the responsibility of the shell to deal with this. Specifically, it's a reaction to &g

When people change their last name, newly-created references to them do in fact use their new name, even if talking about old events. That said, it's not really an analogous situation, because when people change their last name it&#x27

When a job completes, it should end with a newline (if it printed anything). That's good UX. But you cannot mandate this for two big reasons: * You can't enforce this at the process level, because you may want to use multiple pr

This really only applies to stream-based immediate communication (i.e. verbal communication). "Can I ask you a question?" is a short question that basically says "Can I take up more of your time?", as the mere act of ask

Why are you asking your coworkers to place a phone call just to get ahold of you? That seems like an incredibly high barrier to having a conversation with you.

The new Proof Integration Guide explicitly says that a Keybase account can only be linked to a single identity on your identity service (but that you can link multiple keybase accounts to that same identity if you want to).

Ideally, yes. If you need to preserve the ability to get refunds earlier than April 15 then one of two things needs to happen: 1. Move up the deadline for companies to submit tax information to the IRS, or 2. Allow taxpayers to declare that
