It's unique and top-notch if you live in the bubble LV seems to think people do; even Google's been using a similar approach for a few years now as they focus more on design. They also got on the defensive recently regarding Pixelapse; a pr

TIL solid colors constitute artwork now. Please excuse me, I've got some baseless, reputation-damaging takedown notices to file. Maybe next they can go after everyone that participated in http://dribbble.com/shots/911303-Designer-News-App-

Am I understanding this right; that LayerVault is trying to claim that they are the sole owners of the flat UI trend? I'm sorry Allan, I've been a fan of yours since before LayerVault was even launched, but this is really low. And if I'm re

Ugh, disgusting; take your laugh privilege back to Reddit.

Ditto, for me it's the artifacting mixed with how busy it is. A blur would resolve both of these.

No one wins in a "Real Names" policy; those who follow it are vulnerable and those who don't care about their reputation or the consequences of their words will be jerks and then find ways to spoof their identities after such a ban. Besides

Regardless of what he did or didn't do with Groupon, I love this letter; it hit all of the points it should have and didn't say too much or too little. The humor, humility and hope really tie it all together.

Yikes. What a terrible idea to place your brand's reputation in the hands of people that don't hesitate to make assumptions about your customers' intelligence. Adobe allows certain users to speak as "Pros" on their help boards based on thei

Edit: Since this link was posted to HN, Sash has removed each of his other posts, so those are what I am referring to in the second-to-last paragraph. > It might have been written because the author wants to balance the solely negative

This is really refreshing to see here. Thank you for taking the time to write something so deeply personal. Could you imagine how many people would be affected by a post telling them not to do comedy if they're depressed? This isn't just a

I'm not sure how much it could change anything here, but Imgur also compresses images when uploaded. Maybe try min.us?

It was very noticeable to me, by second grade, who was there to learn and who was just there because they were forced to wake up and walk to a bus stop in the morning. While I was lucky enough to be put into some specialty classes based on

I love calc, but there's also a webkit bug that causes transitions applied to elements with calc'd dimensions to crash the browser that I don't believe has been fixed yet. The crash is particularly rough for Safari (closes with no warning),

Yup, and the final sentence of that paragraph as well: > Beard speculated that the primacy of relationships in females' value systems might prevent them from putting relationships at risk by taking the kinds of chances that males might

I wrote this deeper in this comment thread, but the fact that both genders suffer from it in equal numbers does not mean they suffer from it in an equal manner. Towards the end of the paper, it says that men with IS are much more likely to

Likewise, I don't think a study that simply states that both genders are affected equally actually answers the question here; there's a depth that needs to be calculated, rather than just a yes/no. The Langford study also says that men affl

Very much this. I'd love a block-y looking one that included both ascenders and descenders and had different widths for different lengths of words.

Far too often, people nitpick on headers and sentences rather than the actual element placement and overall structure of the page. This alleviates you from having to deal with those situations until they are warranted.

Cowering to people's expectations of you in hopes that you will impress them really depends on the problem and the person, and can be incredibly degrading and depressing if you feel you've done the effort to fix your situation and the outco

Yeah that's off; if I'm lonely it has something to do with my mental state/feelings about my self-worth. Their Instagram shots on the homepage of people having nights out on the town/doing extroverted activities don't do anything but dissua

Don't feel too bad about not being eligible for Grouper. An [introverted, self-proclaimed lonely] friend of mine did one a few weeks ago and said he had nothing in common with any of the women except for one that also worked in tech. She en
