My six week old daughter recently started to smile at me. Even knowing it's just mirroring my face, and there's not much in the way of consciousness there, I could have died happy...

Totally agree. I _really_ wish there was an italic variant; that would pretty much guarantee it'd be the only monospace I use again.

I really like this, thanks!

I find it interesting that "according to my preferences" is pretty much exactly what you've trained. It _should_ be better according to your preferences, since you're not training it with actual contrast differences, but

Are there any dumbphones that have 4G hotspot tethering as a feature? I'm not that interested in all the extra stuff that comes in the smart phone package, but being able to tether my laptop or tablet is really useful to me.

It's not that we're upset about the keyboard, or at least, it's not that I am. I'm upset that, despite the incredibly vibrant community around interesting mechanical keyboards (ergo or not), Jeff Atwood came to "sav

I couldn't find anything either on your features page or in the screencast - how do you handle conflicts and conflict resolution?

This is, to me, a really poignant post. I think there's a level of civility that sometimes can be lacking in our daily lives as engineers, and markcc does a good service by writing well about it.

I hope it's not inappropriate, but that is now one of my favorite things ever. Fantastically done.

Awesome concept! I just made a purchase, (Tallest Man on Earth, natch) and have a couple quick feedback points: * Good on you for paypal - I wouldn't have actually given you my credit card info if you had asked for it, so that's a sale ther

I'd start with using full words, and not "chat" speak. I don't mean to pick on you, but if you wanted to take some of my time to discuss something, and you sent me an email that had a subject line like your title here, it would be marked sp

See my comment above, but I'm pretty sure you have his argument backwards; we already _do_ have application specific URLs in iOS, and wouldn't it be nice if that weren't the case?

I'm pretty sure you've got his argument backwards: 1. We already _do_ have fb://profile/account, it's the app specific URL registered in the iOS app to open the Facebook app. 2. What he's saying is "Why can't you register http://facebook.c

The problem, in my opinion, is that unlike Linux, recreating the important parts of Java as open source wouldn't be fun. The issue isn't the VM, or the compilers or anything like that (which exist and _are_ open source) or the standard libr

Massively disagree: once I get to a certain level, there's no way in hell I want to waste my time implementing all of (java) commons-lang, or my own sqlite bindings, etc. When the languages ecosystem is flourishing, I am productive. When it

"...folks tend to prefer homogeneity of their program set across devices." You must know different folks than I do. Most of the people I know that aren't developers wonder why the icon for "internet" has a big E on it. I can guarantee you t

I can't think of a case where lazy evaluation would be required, only that the semantics of the && and || operators not change. It's defined as part of the language that && will not evaluate the right hand side unless the le

Apple isn't "using discrete graphics for that app", Apple is using discrete graphics for a given set of APIs which CloudApp is using to do something. Did they need to do it that way? Maybe, maybe not, but the onus is on the application deve

Nothing in PhoneGap is against the TOS. It's a wrapper around HTML and JS, providing in WebKit's javascript engine access to system services. In that sense, it's not against the part of the TOS which says specifically you can use Webkit.

Wait a second. Other than pandora, which I agree will be awesome in the background, what in that use case requires multitasking? Open Maps, see a place, click the link to switch to Safari to see it's website, check reviews in yelp. Nowhere

I really disagree with this. I'm a developer, I spend 90% of my computing time in Vim and Terminal. I use a Macbook as my primary computer, and tend to bring it to work with me. I try to go to Linux probably twice a year, and have for a lon
