interesting research. it would be helpful if they found a way of developing a habit of making the entire brain wake up instantly in the morning rather than the 30 min to 1 hour delay for some parts. i find that this is a constant battle eve

you're talking as if it's wrong for a company to look after its own interests?

What about native-style widgets? Are they finally fixed? That's been my gripe with firefox since day 1, and the only thing still holding me back to Sarafi. Although buttons look native-ish, dropdowns (from the <select> element) st

to be honest, i thought the same. but it does have a lot of interesting facts.

I trutly believe (after going through so many such "tricks/hacks") that you can never motivate yourself to enjoy something you "must" do unless you somehow make into something you "want" to do, and then follow it up with specific reasons. R

Hmm... you could argue that point though. It's one thing to have the dream of becomming a saxaphone player. It's another to have the dream of becomming a "famous" saxaphone player.

Yeah. It's kinda sad when you have a romantic idea of something, but reality paints a totally different picture. I'm learning a new language at the moment. The romantic idea I had in my head was being able to speak it fluently with friend

Agreed. I can't go past consolas on windows. With linux I wasn't aware of liberation (thanks for that !!), but I've always downloaded courier new.

The author laments about how America is a society that prefers to break things and then fix them later, the opposite of which should be to prevent things from breaking in the first place. Ironic, considering that his solution to obesity is

An interesting comparison about the mirrors. I find it an interesting analogy for how these derivatives work.

One point I want to raise is that of how fast the code is to type. If you can come up with an elegant syntax that doesn't require characters that need key-combinations ("Ctrl" + "[" for an open-brace, "Shift" + "9" for open-bracket, etc) t

I have to agree with this. I do a lot of java development zmimon is correct in saying that eclipse is less stable, particularly with the UI, which looks terribly out of place on a mac (you'll see a lot of blogs criticizing this) because it

From what I found out in this typing course I took if you're pressing Ctrl + C you're meant to use the pinky on your RIGHT hand and hit C with the LEFT (middle finger). The same applies to Q, E, W, and all other keys on the right side of th

Agreed. I mostly browse HN when I'm at work where it's Windows XP. Otherwise I'm on a mac at home.

He does make the distinction that Cuppaccino/Objective-J is for web-applications and not web-pages. see: http://cappuccino.org/discuss/2008/10/21/web-pages/ For web-pages i agree with you that traditional html/css is sufficient in most c

It's funny how the author mentions emailing himself as an alternative to setting todos. I do the same thing, especially when i have to remind myself to do something when i get home and i'm at work (where gmail is banned). On that note, i w

Agreed. They mentioned that they were working on it on their blog when Chrome was released (bringing chrome to Mac and Linux), so I'm hoping it's still a priority. http://googlemac.blogspot.com/2008/09/platforms-and-prioriti...

With the little code i've done on objective-c, I have to say that I prefer method 4. It kinda goes with the (unwritten) convension that a method's first parameter is always the longest so that the rest of the parameters align well with the
