[1] http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/27/css-specificit... This is a feature, not a bug. Its called CSS specificity. Although, the link[1] seems to suggest it should be 100, not 256... that might be a bug.

This is Google trying to outsmart you. It thinks you're searching for Sept. 11 if you type 9/11. It happens quite regularly with other queries, add a = sign to force the calculator.

This is basically a glorified animation. On the commit stages, try adding a different message than theirs. When you get to the log stage, it shows their messages. :-(

In the same sense as code that uses call_user_func_array is dirty looking. It's cruft that has nothing to do with application logic. It'd be nice to be able to do away with these things.

It's much improved in 5.4. I think the grandparent post's point was that prior to 5.4, this would've looked like func(array("arg1", "name2"=>"arg2", "arg3")); Which is much "uglier" than the new syntax.

What kind of battery drain does reading the accelerometer cost? Seems a little silly.

Trademarks, trademarks, trademarks. YCombinator might be a generic computer science-y word, but it has a well defined brand meaning in this niche...

You're going to get sued by not one, two, massive startups for violating their trademarks...

As a classical liberal, I believe two important things: 1. the grandparent should be free to direct his business anyway he wants and that includes giving 100% of his profits to charity; 2. people should have discussions about what is good,

Thanks for this, this whole frictionless sharing/social reader stuff is the worst!

A "strange loop", perhaps.

vim on the command line, TextWrangler in the UI. I find its nice to have TextWrangler open with my todo.txt and bills.txt files, and is also nice to be able to quickly throw in little hacks / debug code / etc., but for "real editing" vim al

I really don't like the rainbow for share. It seems very unintuitive. Very usable interface though.

This is not a solution. For a short discussion on this idea: http://photo.net/large-format-photography-forum/005ltZ

Can anyone explain what is going on here? Edit: to clarify, I honestly have no idea what I'm reading: the title piqued my interest, but then it became... I'm really not sure.

That's how I felt too. ML-Class was an order of magnitude more "complete" feeling.

by gburt 15y ago
This also happened to me. I have since made sure that I have absolutely no part of the order process for any of my software. I don't want to be notified. I don't want to have to click a button. I don't even want to think about it, except at

> going to destroy far more more wealth for their contemporaries than they create for themselves. "Destroy" is not the correct term. It is called creating efficiency. Reducing resources towards the same end is what increases wealth for

Why is the government regulating the business model? These crimes are far too vague to be sensical.

Your compliance claim, to me, is absolutely false. I've dealt with both Megaupload and Filesonic with DMCA requests. Megaupload not only disabled them promptly but went a step further and would remove links to identical files that I hadn't

This is exactly what they wanted to happen. MegaUpload was about causing fear. First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because

Consistent pricing is a very bad idea. It eliminates a lot of important market signalling forces.

To be honest, I was just making a point using terms a lot of people could identify with. I would agree that Wal*Mart is actually an effective social wealth creator, probably more so than any government welfare program.

I think this is a very important point. The 1% is not the enemy except for in symbolic terms. The enemy is a much smaller group of individuals/corporations than that, and perhaps even, the enemy is more of a "process" than it is any group.

Two mistakes. 1. Time value of money. $1.2 million in 40 years will be about $2.65 million then, assuming 2% inflation. 2. 5% average savings. As far as I can tell, interest rates are no longer exceeding inflation, and haven't been for quit

> Airdrop is a red herring. It's to solve the short-term problem of "I have a file on Computer A, and I want to transfer it to Computer B." In the end, ideally, this would never happen. I think in the context of Airdrop, Computer B is p

Yeah, that's true. For me, without cross-platform support (and a website) I still wouldn't be able to use it: my Dropbox syncs with 2 Ubuntu machines, 2 Macs and a Windows laptop, and I simultaneously use it to access files on my university
