I don't mean to bash the guy, but when it comes to small software projects on a shoestring, that seem more like a side project than a stable income, I'd have been worried about any in which the project's owner and visionary isn't a coder hi

The other day I was thinking about how Sublime Text's Ctrl+P's great usability could be extended to more use cases, and I began wondering, 1. Why doesn't it already index on the function names (the ones you get to by pressing @), so that I

SuperMemo has been around for quite some time and IIRC it was indeed the first piece of software to employ the theory of spaced repetition. So it's not coincidentally similar, SuperMemo is immediately associated with spaced repetition. That

When it probably covers mostly all computers that will run your script, I don't see why it isn't a good compromise.

He means the network effects (in this case, the App stores) create a situation of huge dominance of one player over the others. Apple was headed to that position, but what happened was a whole new market of low-end smartphones opened up, wi

Simple doesn't equal lazy. "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing else to take away" --Civilization IV voice-over guy.

On desktop, yes, but how would a flat design respond on mobile/touch interfaces? I'm genuinely interested in approaches.

Gradients and drop shadows on buttons are usually modelling solid color real world buttons; design uses an imaginary light source coming from above to mimic the way our world usually has a lamp or the sun shining up there.

I think it comes from Google Web Fonts that one.

Actually, Brackets itself started inside Adobe by a group of employees, so Edge Code is their distribution package as much as Chrome is to Chromium. I can't see it in a negative light, I think they're getting this right.

I was just writing some dumb hardcoded json mock code here and wondering when my IIS-powered colleague will be available for us to test and implement the proper requests. Then this comes in and allows me code an almost production-ready fron

I assume travelling near speed of light with conventional physics is impossible, since the ship's mass would crush itself as it increased infinitely. Warp drives, on the other hand, seem to work by moving space-time, not the ship. So in the

What's the point in an all-text user interface if you still use the mouse?

You could tempt him with the thought of putting "Full HD color film from London, 1902" on youtube and mean it.

A strong, google-funded full-stack framework competitor to Meteor sounds like a good thing to the evolution of JavaScript (EDIT: evolution of browser rendering languages) everywhere. They're getting it right with Angular, so yeah I agree th

Except they are "only" trying to replace perhaps the single most ingrained language of all time, that is, Javascript in browsers. And I'll warrant that the more ingrained a language is, the more it's contender needs to be exciting, and yes,

They say it's different, which I assume means different from any geological formation they have ever seen, including on Earth, but I fail to understand what makes them so mysterious. Obviously, it wasn't meant for my absolute layman knowled

I don't know if I agree about "never being able to learn programming," maybe with the right intense tutoring those people could. But double-humping is easy to explain: some people embrace the mindset and problem solving approach of programm

If we hadn't added those things, HTML&Cia. wouldn't even be a contender to replace native performance now. It would still be a simple technology meant for static information. If your argument is more in the line of why do games keep get

Call me obsessed with my pinkies hitting all those semi-colons and curly braces. As if return and backspace weren't enough of a cruel joke. In other words, why would anyone use Emacs?

At some point, native would still be faster in the same sense a curve approaches the x-axis but never quite touches it. The mobile web rendering performance might never hit the 0-grade latency standard where we put native, but it will event
