There's less contrast now, and people with any vision trouble will have additional problems. In the before and after of the reading section, the items in the right-hand column aren't even visible at all. It's white on s super-light cream

I think you're incorrect about this, and would appreciate a source. From my understanding of pre-trial diversion, it does not involve any admission of guilt... If the defendant does not complete the probation period successfully, the charg

I heard about this a few days ago on Twitter and immediately purchased it. Absolutely incredible tool, great presentation, and a price I could not resist.

May be honest, it's just very convenient. "That demo we have on our site to show off the technology? It's really crippled and doesn't actually show off the technology... We promise the real thing actually works! Oh, you want to hear abo

I have the 15" Retina MBP with 16GB RAM and an upgraded CPU... It's incredible and I love working on it. Ordering a machine with 4GB RAM now is asking for trouble, no matter the OS.

The site this is hosted on is bad enough to affect my reading of the article. Tiny text in a tiny sliver of the window, big glaring ad video up top, terribly broken layout. On top of that, I doubt they'll stop developing Android any time s

This is really silly. The end-game is a coarse geolocation? Most people use real names on Github, or freely discuss their locality on Reddit... You don't even need the ssh keys (or the honeypot!) to tie a username to a specific area. Seri

The x buttons that are nearly impossible to activate, that you actually have to hit twice perfectly to do what you want, the ones that break their own UI guidelines of how big something should be so that people can use it? I feel your pain

Is Mr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow a big reason why I joined Parse? That's a great question...

How many users are still using 10.6? Couldn't the description be updated with a note specifying the temporary issue with 10.6? Seems like that would be a lot simpler than taking it down...

It's amazing how far back, and how complicated a chain of events can be that lead to a specific outcome. Similarly, I look back in awe at the luck and good fortune I've had. I owe my entire life-path of technology to my grandfather on my f

Performing a "forced-reset" on waves of accounts is a pretty effective way of eliminating 'anonymous' accounts no longer linked to a valid email. I bet a decent number of users were permanently locked out of their accounts.

Ok, you're right and fair point. PC manufacturers were selling drives with data using up space before Apple. I don't think it was ever very large (in size or percentage of the drive) though was it? Computers weren't branded on HD size ei

by gfosco 14y ago
Right... Apple set the precedent of not having to specify the size lost to the OS, because that magnitude was acceptable. Many people probably never even noticed it, or attributed it to the normal bytes lost. I would have thought the 64GB

I'd also like to thank HN. I find out about many great things through this site, including the new job I just got in San Francisco!

No, It's more like your 18th cousin 6 times removed raped someone... You don't know the guy, never met him, and some troll on the internet is blaming you for murder because you haven't publicly denounced him.

You lost me at Westboro Baptist Church, which isn't comparable. WBC is a voluntary group, which I assume you can enter and exit without penalty. Imagine you're a student, halfway through your 4 year program at MIT... You don't know Aaron,

Really?... It's not their battle. Why does a student at MIT have to have a position on this at all?

Medieval Madness is my favorite machine, and I've bought it through Pinball Arcade on iOS and Android. If they would get Greenlit on Steam, I'll buy it again on PC!

Why should it rotate, when it can use the standard method for notating the proper rotation? Your camera would be a lot slower if it had to rotate 16MP images between snaps.

Had this same issue with a service that consumes pictures from iOS/Android/BlackBerry. They all seem to handle it in different ways. I added a similar EXIF check and a quick rotation when necessary. I should have written a blog post abou

I'm trying like hell to get a copy of AppCode, guess I'll be hitting F5 all day trying to get it in the cart. For $25 I have to try it... big fan of other JetBrains products.
