I don't think that is a good excuse for being rude. Sure it's their project they can do what they want. But if they have any desire of attracting users that is not the way to do it.

Far far less than half of companies succeed. So identifying successful companies by random draw is not equivalent to a coin toss. In the case of this study, its 10%.

I love posts like this having spent a decent bit of time designing a music queuing UI myself. I think number 4 is really interesting if you could get the recommendations right. And you could do it in addition to play strength.

I don't understand why your defending this. Do you support this practice? 32 GB partitioned off for apparently no purpose? Also, I've always hated the "you aren't the target audience" argument. Lenovo sells a device advertised as having 128

You are being deliberately dense. If no existing JVM gives runnable objects their own stack, then it's impossible for a java developer to create thousands of threads (without creating their own JVM, which is totally unreasonable 99% of the

When I'm playing a game and my system suddenly restarts without warning it feels like a crash. Nag all you want, but a restart without explicit user approval is a terrible design decision. And if you are going to do it at least postpone it

I enjoyed it. Not out of any interest in the iPhone 5. But as a (somewhat) technical article about how displays are measured. One of the more interesting articles of the day imo.

Why not? The primary question here is whether 3taps is engaging in copyright infringement as Craigslist claims. Does everything scraped by Google becomes public domain? If Google News scrapes an article from the NYT, can I then scrape the a

I am jealous. 10000 messages and it very often takes 5+ seconds to switch between smart mailboxes. Admittedly the smart mailbox filters I have set up are pretty crazy but still... It's not like email metadata changes. The results should be

I guess I read his comment differently. "regardless of whether she's right or wrong" about the crimes/identities of the attacker. Rather than regardless of whether she's in the right/wrong for posting their names.

So what would you do instead? Ignoring stack overflow (which I think is doing fine). How do you improve a community who's quality is declining? Do you just let it run its course for better or worse? I really think moderation is the best cho

Because theres no way anyone spent more than 10 minutes fact checking and verifying the page on your neighbor's dog. And if it has your neighbor's dog it has other people's neighbor's dogs. So now every page you have to distinguish between
