I was searching for the best way to edit online content and Markdown was obvious choice. Until I saw what Medium has done. I believe that WYSIWYG is the only way. You still get emphasys on text but with no need to learn any kind of markup n

What gave me creeps wasn't service or collected data. It was the fact that I am using iPhone for several weeks now. I dont use phone (apps) while commuting since I'm at the wheel. Only app I am using, is Waze, but I believe that t

I suggest you all stop calling 5c "cheap" or "value" one. Price drop against 5s is less than 20% (full price for unlocked one).

This is similar to what Oreilly is doing. They offer ebook upgrades for any paperback book you (claim to) own for USD 4.99.

Little late to the party, but I did not find a way to paste from clipboard when using windows and Apple keyboard. Insert key is not working, so ctrl/shift+ins won't work. In putty pasting is done via right mouse click.

Completion worked, but it was wrong. "<div/></" autocompleted as "<div/></div>".

by laacz 13y ago
First thing I tried out was - does it close <div/>. Yes, it does: "<div/></div>". I'm really happy with lots of sublime text features. But this simple untested completion error stunned me.

I know I'm late to the comment party, but my two eurocents. In EU it's no longer an issue to talk or message abroad even when roaming. Since last roaming cap was introduced voice and messaging has become relatively cheap. What&#x2

As waze is not true competitor for google per se, I would be very dissapointed, if it would go the way other google-acquired software often goes - integration into google services and product's discontinuation. I do not believe (anymor

Isn't this just a way to reassure customers, that there are no problems between Google and Samsung? Also, I am huge fan of Nexus softkeys, which move as I rotate screen and are not physical. And how about softkeys other than home? Back is o

What astonishes me, is lack of syndication. I'm afraid I'll forget this site, though content is awesome.

I've never been a fan of giving away choice of what to read to automated systems. Of course some percent of suggested stuff is ok, but actually it all boils down to three components for me. Mostly I read what I want to read (interests). The

What I always check first for these tools, is support of partial unicode. And almost always I am faced with total ignorance of such. It's 21st century, guys. Post: http://throwww.com/a/3nr Screenshot (Chrome, win64): http://www.flickr.co

Yes, I'm informed. This comment was not ment to be insulting to those who drive on the wro.. left side of the road. Just an observation of specific roundabout from a person, who drives on right one each day.

If you consider that I'm from the part of the world where everybody is driving on the right side (see what I did there?:) of the road, it was not a complete disaster. Up and close this magic roundabout actually is not so magic - just one la

What I look for in a great online markdown editor? Since that is plaintext editor, it should behave like one. You should give it distinctive syntax higlighting feature. Ace, for example, is great with that. You should provide easy way to in

I understand sacrasm (or irony - never could tell the difference without overthinking), but I believe that Metro will become more usable over time.

by laacz 14y ago
Yes. I do like Windows 8 UI elements, though I'll like them more after some more iterations from Microsoft. Metro is not very suitable for PC usage, but the direction is nice.

I, actually, like this, since android, windows 8 and even google are now using this simplified flat almost-not-rounded components. Feels much cleaner to me.

Also, short messages cannot contain symbols outsids ASCII (actually - 7bit ASCII), while twitter is 100% unicode.

What I find most interesting about Voyager-1 and 2, that these crafts went to the outskirts of our Solar system because of funding cuts for Mariner program (Venus and Mars research). Marvelous what you can achieve even when you are given le

Google Maps autocomplete (as their other services) is context sensitive. This trumps anything else. Typos check is hard to do, since it must take in account aforementioned context, search history and huge diversity in geographic naming. For
