Never try to use anything you're not already familiar with, got it.

Once I fell in love with modal editing, I started using it everywhere I could. vi(m) bindings in my shell, web browser, etc. I wish it were seamless everywhere but it's certainly more ubiquitous than just one program. Couple that with a wor

Ok, so imagine the site in question is a little-known blog. I follow a link on reddit, enjoy the article, then click around to see what else the author writes. I find it really interesting and want to follow this author more closely. Do I t

I think you make an extremely important point. I largely agree with you, yet I don't think it's entirely cynical of me to think that if your primary source of data for making informed decisions is coming from television, you're (and we're a

I think you're missing what he says. Hacker News and Reddit are completely perpendicular use cases to RSS. From the article: The true power of the RSS inbox is keeping you informed of new posts that you probably won’t see linked elsewhere.

Discovering news was never RSS's sweet spot for me. What it's great for is tracking deeper content from handpicked sources regardless of popularity.

I suppose in an age where we're used to being able to contact anyone from nearly anywhere with a cellphone and it's increasingly hard to find payphones, those might not be a "luxury" per se. And cellphones can be had for relatively cheap. B

Makes sense. I guess I look at vim as less an interface that a user needs to become familiar with and more of a language that one learns to manipulate text. For example, I don't think the same design principles that go into maximizing conve

I think it's a sure sign that some ham-fisted buffoonery is afoot when a company mandates what text editor or IDE a programmer should use. But I'm thankful for those big red flags that signal to me that I would not be happy at this company.

I am not a UI designer, but I don't buy into the idea that this blanket notion of "modal interface bad" and "oh, it's got a manual? it's broken" applies universally across all interfaces for every use case. Or are you being facetious? When

I don't write Ruby either right now, but I would suggest you not discount it as a nice language because of your perceptions of Rails.

It's not exactly great humor, but I'm confused as to why this is offensive to women specifically (let alone an axiom of sexism). Because it references male organs? They're not referring to females at all. Not to be too reductionist, but tha

That just plain isn't true. Even if it were, Twitter is singularly unsuited to that kind of information consumption. I don't need everyone to find RSS as useful as I do and I'm fine with the fact that others have different usage patterns an

Sure, RSS isn't ideally suited for "news" when you can just hit an aggregation site or two. But it's extremely useful for following particular content you're interested in regardless of popularity. If I come across a particularly insightful

by ldh 14y ago
Don't tell me what I need. A lot of people like following more than just content that gets picked up by the hype machine, just like some people aren't satisfied only listening to top-40 music. Aggregators are good for new discovery, but the

The differentiating feature of Reader for me was that I could have extremely good discussions around various items with a circle of friends and friends-of-friends. I'm not as interested in algorithmically-suggested items, but if somebody wh

The original Clojure implementation was built on the JVM, but it also targets the CLR and JavaScript. I don't think it's irrevocably tied to the JVM.

I think part of the problem is that there is no clear "right tool for the job" for many jobs. There are many that will work just fine. Every author and podcaster who wants to project a veneer of pragmatism will sprinkle "the right tool for

This is just ridiculous, what makes people think they can just rip off your work for free? The fact that they absolutely can and do? I'm not sure there's much that can be done here, but the call-out is a great way to handle it.

Is there some SASS integration in HAML beyond regular HTML?

I did some brief searching, but didn't come up with anything. Certainly for such a problematic case there is at least a bug report filed requesting that an error is raised?

I actually read your comment as a strong case for ECMAScript being the most correct. Certainly more than the name of one particular implementation of the language standard. Browsers all implement HTML differently, but we're happy to refer t

I don't think that addresses the issue of needing a dedicated box to store your email; i.e. you still need that POP server.
