I guess I should have added context. I thought it was funny that it sounded like the author thought that "bimodal distribution" was coined by the chemistry prof.

I didn't say they posed UX problems . I don't even think the author of the article suggested that. I merely suggested that small problems add up to a less than optimal user experience. The article is "OSX Yosemite under a mi

I think its good the search bar looks like a button. It makes it more clear that searching is an action. The user has to click on it to activate the textbox anyway, and once clicked it should be quite apparent that its a textbox.

I feel like the main takeaway is that they recognized non-commercial use of this crazy expensive software to be legitimate. I think this covers 80% of the use cases where people turn to piracy instead. Good on Pixar. Lets see if Adobe follo

I just don't think that saying Soylent lacks soul is constructive enough when Rhinehart says that it elevates the status of real food to leisure. If the future involves making life more "functional" then bring it on... its on

Just because Buzzfeed uses list style headlines and has vacuous content does not mean that list style headlines are an indicator of vacuous content. If you read this and you liked it, does the title really matter?

This is an example of a page that begins talking about sewing and embroidery, and eventually becomes about typography.

By saying one is obligated to someone else, I think it implies that the reciprocal action by the receiver would require compromising one's own happiness in some way. By that token, I think this statement is totally reasonable because u

I wanted to say that this was probably discovered by a Hacker News devotee who was sifting through every instance of "pg" on the internet. Then I noticed who submitted this.

Cool to see De Morgan's Laws used at a high level. But the real takeaway: rewrite your conditional until it makes sense.

Just funny to think that its possible that a dev who hacked on that Furby firmware is reading this and said "hey, I wrote that routine!"

This is incredibly awesome! I will be reading and re-reading this article hopefully many times in 2014 as I embark upon the startup internship journey this year. Thanks so much!
