I'm sure a couple years ago almost all mobile ran WebKit, but aren't a huge chunk of new android phones running some flavor of chromium these days? I'd be surprised if WebKit was still in the high 90% range.

True, although using Cordova to wrap a good mobile site isn't too cost prohibitive. It seems a lot of small companies approach having an app as a marketing tool though. Not having an app is kinda like not having a website in 1999.

I agree that you should get some psychiatric help (I can sympathize with your condition), but the 'battery draining while off' gives me pause. How bad was the battery drain, and was the device 'off' or 'sleeping&#x

Maybe I misread, but I thought he bought a new computer WHILE he was interning. Not to back the company overall, but if he just bought a new computer I can understand why they might not spend the money on a new one for him when they extend

Well, when I was learning c, Egyptian brackets apparently weren't even a thing. I have co-opted their use in certain places - I think it's a nice way to easily identify a lambda function, but I don't think I would ever use i

I totally agre and that immediately popped out at me. When I started coding I would do this to 'save space', until burned by the breakpoint as you point out. Then I started putting it on the next line, indented, until a more sea

Interesting concept, but 'analysis is flawless' with '100% accuracy' on a sample size of 30-something? C'mon.

Yep. I read this and thought, "oh, so.. PINE". Nope, not at all.

Just expounding... Take for example epicurious.com: super useful reference I've used for over a DECADE. I had no problems using it on my mobile/tablet devices, ever.. Until the mobile rewrite earlier this year. Rendered almost

Exactly. As far as I'm concerned, HN IS (!!!) mobile friendly. I'm so sick of the garbage mobile formatting that is ubiquitous these days. Give me a clean desktop version any day. Pinch to zoom FTW. 2009 was way easier to brow

Agreed. There is a time and a place for everything. If table markup is used nowhere else in a DOM, it is completely justified for easily vertically centering div content (across platforms) no matter what the container properties are.

Yeah; I'm curious if there is anything comparable to this for radial polarization.

I've been on and around many trains and yet I never quite understood the concept of the wheel flange and how track junctions worked until very recently, thanks to a kids show: chuggington.

These are two different kind of clients here. One actually has an inkling what these technologies are, the other just wants a deliverable.

Totally dependent on the scope. But if it functions well as a mobile (responsive) website, and your making that anyway, just wrap it in Cordova for App Store distribution. Easy peasy.
