I'm pretty sure this won't change your mind, but my view is more-or-less "better the devil I know." Trading in Microsoft and Adobe's phone-homers for Apple's is fine in my book.

I never once gave much thought to the idea that Apple would somehow shut out unsigned apps from its desktop computers, for the main reason that there would be too many existing apps that would suddenly lose functionality and cause a backlas

IMO it's unlikely. It seems like Apple has to go through a lot to meet their own manufacturing needs, so ramping up production just for third parties would put even more strain on the already-large demand. Plus, from a market standpo

I think you're being lenient with SendGrid because it was a close call and not a full-blown catastrophe. First of all, SendGrid lied about its support staff's permissions. After the incident, SendGrid then sends an "oops! o

It's always good to see Android users enjoying their freedom from Apple's tyranny.

OK, I get the simplicity of using make, but, yikes, creating your own "little programs" that parse AND EDIT (?!?!) code is a simple solution? IMO the author glossed over that part very smoothly without even bringing up the poten

IMO that just leads to less reusable CSS and more stylesheet spaghetti. I see a class "clearfix" in HTML and I know what it's doing; I see ".clearfix {" and I know what it's doing; but I look at "article:a

I'm pretty sure the idea is to get more GUI-based, not less. Telling a designer to use vi instead of Eclipse for UI is pretty hilarious.

Probably because when Android evangelists (not necessarily Google) market Android as the "anti-Apple" OS, you remind a lot of current Apple users about the days when Windows ruled the earth and all of the anti-usability that came

Well, I don't think I said without a single emotion . I do think, however, that you can express concerns without resorting to anger and negativity.

I come to HN to learn new things and to get the opinions of people who are well-trained in their fields. In that respect, I don't really care what a new user's, student's, or novice's opinion on something is unless they&

I agree with thaumaturgy here; your comments are very emotionally charged for something as insignificant as a change to the moderation policy of a link aggregator's comment section. I hope that this new system will bring down the emoti

That's why I feel like they should just not allow hula-hooping in the office. As someone who has been to both gay and straight clubs, I know that "grown-ups hula hooping" is a lot less like innocent fun and more like rapid pe

I absolutely hated StrongLifts. If you have godlike genes it will work great; unfortunately I ended up having a month-long plateau that made me dread going to the gym (StrongLifts makes you "work until failure" a certain number of

Eh, I believe it. 45 minutes a day doesn't count the trip to/from the gym, post-workout shower, changing, etc., and really, the people I know that actually get results from going to the gym end up spending way longer than 45 minut

Ugh this specific example has been used time and time again and it irritates the crap out of me. This is not some accomplishment of big data or even beyond trivial to figure out. Example Google searches: > 1 month before conception

This isn't an equal society, though, so your argument is invalid.

I feel like a lot of the knee jerk negativity comes from the implication that the event is 'good', 'great', 'inspiring' because of it being <under-represented group> only. Since when is that a bad thing

I agree with your point. I suppose I'm fortunate enough to also agree with the goals of Common Core as they are today. Onto that article, however: 1. I never use an academic degree as an indicator of intellectual capacity. I find that

I don't think Core is garbage at all. I think there's a deeply ingrained culture of anti-intellectualism in US culture that needs to be nuked out of the school system, and I honestly couldn't care less what the collateral dam
