Who cares if it validates? The underlying markup is pretty unsemantic. Just because it validates doesn't mean it's a well-coded website.

The best line on their site is definitely “The Ruby-Python-Bridge™ allows you to interface your Ruby and Ruby on Rails Apps directly to Python via TCP/IP.” What the hell does that even mean?

Yeah... I pretty much hate Smashing Magazine and sites like it. All they do is make lists... lists... lists... and then load the site chock full of ads. The content is rarely original and never has any intrinsic value.

Based on Swing and WPF? I've never used either... but I've only ever heard bad things about both.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see many of those as weird. They're (mostly) well-designed and carry an obvious metaphor, as any good logo should. Clever, maybe. Weird, no.

DHH is definitely not being a jerk. The quote the author supplies for DHH's "being a dick in the past" is “I’m not in this world to create Rails for you. I’m in this world to create Rails for me and if you happen to like that version of

Also, I know it's an informal blog, but I think it's really unprofessional to call something the "DO NOT WANT" release. I'm really sick and tired of half-baked "memes" being included in writing as weak attempts at humor. It just comes acros

Personally, I dislike the new design. It has good intentions but it misses the mark. This would have been a good example of when not to listen to your users-- of course the majority of them is going to prefer gradients and flashy dropdown

Anybody else sick of these sites that live solely on posting "lists"? I mean, all this is is an aggregate of what you can find on jQuery.org or a google search, and the sites are usually loaded with ads.

Underhyped?? Songbird has been getting consistent, solid press since it was in Alpha. OpenOffice 3 got so much traffic on launch the servers crashed for days. I don't think I've stopped reading about Dropbox since it started it's public bet

Why are you posting this when I can't even sign up to try it out? It looks good, but "We will send you an email when the beta program starts." = FAIL.

they're not colourful or textured or on a background or anything. If OCR software can't recognize black type (of a familiar typeface) on white, it must be pretty messed up. I'm just saying it that making the user do this twice is just pla

WHY IS THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE? reCAPTCHA has been around for ages. This isn't something new. Everyone knows about it. It's also widely implemented. I would like to add however, I hate reCAPTCHA. If you are a web developer who has added re

I think it's very unfair of him to be criticizing and writing off Rubinius. "Rubinius looked like the light and hope of the Rubyverse, but their team has been slashed..." Just because it was financially responsible for Engine Yard to cut ba

I don't understand why someone would take already-existing text instructions and put them into a 22 minute illegible "screencast". What's even more confusing is why HN would upvote this over 17 times. Probably only because the title has Clo

I think as long as browsers start implementing HTML5 now , we could actually see widespread adoption by 2012-2013. Which is reasonable. But we'll always have IE slowing that adoption down ;). Anyways, as long as there's a large enough back

I'm glad they're stopping development of Gobuntu, I think it's wasted time and effort. Let the Free Software nuts work on their strictly-free-software software.
