Screenshot is FF34 if that helps by the way. And just a fun side experiment idea: I'm curious how the IBM Watson User-Modeling service would stack up out-of-the-box against how you currently do things: https://ace.ng.bluemix

Intentionally hateful comment by the way ;) Just curious to see how much haternews picks up on it. Although the problem I describe with the content column is real, all the insults and drama isn't at all! For reference: http:/&#x

Your website sucks. All the content is is smashed in a column with small width so I have to scroll left and right to read each paragraph. This despite there being gigantic 30% of the screen margins on each side. Try to build something even

Ah gothcya, sorry if I came across unnecessarily aggressive or self-righteous. Hope that if you do get married, you and your spouse have such admirable commitment to each other! And I hope the same for myself haha, I'm sure it's o

Not to be a jerk, but if you never worry about yourself being selfish, there's a good chance you're missing something about yourself. I haven't met a human in all my days who has no unnecessary self-centeredness! Going into a

I think another part of it might be that units are inherently less intuitive to us than numbers. Your mind sees the choices and reads "4 7 30 90". And look at that! The 4 option is about $4 and the 7 option is about $7! Both seem

I find that I sometimes act like the 'assholes' in this essay. However, the attitude of the person asking the question seems to affect me a lot: I tend to be a lot more of a jerk to people who have a very high opinion of their ski

I think you may be misconstruing the purpose of the poster. In my opinion, it's mostly about the low-risk and high-upside potential of using the temporary workers that Kelly Services offered much more than physical qualities.

I know this is a dumb/basic question, but it's one I've wondered and don't fully understand. How is Docker that much easier/better than just writing some other kind of script that configures a machine for your app t

Agreed - the popularity of implicit typing is surprising to me. It seems to make code much less readable and comprehensible. In a good IDE I suppose it doesn't really matter because type information could be provided automatically, but

They are great apples, but they're also about 3x as expensive as Red Delicious apples (at least where I am in the US).

Bought an (almost) new Sonata a few months back and it's been great. But the A-pillars are pretty thick and sloped in the perfect was to block my visibility. I have to often lean up a foot or so and turn my head if I want to see to

This whole project seems to have lead to a bit of animosity between Jeff and John in the past: https://twitter.com/gruber/status/261650083689426945 https://twitter.com/gruber/status/26228

It's hard to understand from Jeff's post (and possibly John Gruber's email) why the name 'Standard Markdown' was infuriating. But I see little reason to think that 'Common Markdown' would be any better, ot

I wonder if the email examples are simply a byproduct of the specific conversations / order of the discussion. Maybe 'cold-call' emails demand a lot of 'I's in them as part of the initial explanation while responses

The Sansa Clip is a great mp3 player. All it does is play music (which is a big plus in my book), it's really small so it's great for running or other similar things, and the physical buttons make it really easy to use one-handed

Enjoyed playing with this - it would be neat to see a version where the company name and description matched up a little bit more and the description had a little bit more semblance of reality. No startup is going to talk about 'Pedobe

Second all of this, thanks for the wonderful book. I can truthfully say it was a major positive factor in advancing my career in software development, and for that I'm quite grateful! So thank you for the book and all the hard work and

But there's no way to reliably get information to all people within ten seconds. Even if a text message alert was sent out as soon as the system was triggered, that time, plus the time for even the most phone-ready people to pull out t

We're probably mostly in agreement, even if we lean slightly different directions on some of the issues. For example, I can't think of any legitimate MRAP uses by local police either (although if anyone can point our a realistic u

I think people might have the wrong impression of the 1033 program. The program makes sense - instead of wasting extra military equipment, give it to local police who can use it. A lot of this equipment is very benign types of things, stuff

Agreed, and each release they just get better and better. For example, the updated scratchpad in FF32+ is pretty neat with it's code hinting and completion.

Perhaps not as much of a mystery, but I do think the D. B. Cooper case is fascinating ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper ). The Wikipedia article reads like a popular adventure novel.

Hey, point taken - agreed, I don't mean to belittle the work in any way. The dedication to stick with a project that long (and do a nice job on it) is something I definitely admire. I haven't run the software or browsed the code,

I know you got a lot of downvotes, but made me chuckle with the part about everyone just loving ruby CMSs. :) Honestly though, I think it's a combination of a few things. First, Christians (and other religious people) are used to being
