TouchTerm does not support terminal emulation. So, once you SSH into a server, good luck editing anything.

Plenty of commercial software has poor usability. In general, it's hard to find people who can condense behavior into an intuitive workflow.

A quick summary (though the article is well worth the read): Perception may be mostly memory and the brain's best guess of a situation, and to a very minor extent, the outlying, sensory nerve signals.

You might want to ignore singularities. Once-mentioned non-tags currently pollute the cloud.

Overall a nice, simple interface. The scrolling, vertical, ticker-like lists tripped me up for a second, though. I thought the left-hand arrow, pointing to the left, would scroll the list in left, that it would kind of pull the list in that

And yet, a good 20 voters thought otherwise. Bottom line is: voting me into oblivion isn't going to make searching this site any easier, or change the way HN deals with dupes.

Even Reddit tolerates dupes, for the most part, when separated by some time. If it's old to you, don't vote it up. If it's new to you, great.

I don't know. These days, Safari's Web Inspector is quite on-par with Firebug, with some things I like even better.

Competition is good and well; because Firefox hasn't been enthusiastic about it lately (cf. Acid 3), this could be a welcome change. Not crazy about the UX elements (the touch-"throw" gesture to return to the main menu, for one), but it's,

I agree with you entirely :) I actually find both to be a bit heavy. I don't necessarily want animations out of the box, so that makes jQuery a bit more bloated to me. I also don't necessarily want all that Prototype offers for all of my pr

Thanks for this. I've been looking for something less bloated than jQuery and Prototype. I like native code, but don't always have time to handle every browser incompatibility. > anything but Mozilla, I think WebKit also handles things

Prototype has class-creation helpers galore, whereas jQuery expects you to do things the old-fashioned way. There's a lot of jQuery love and Prototype hate out there, which I don't quite get. Both are fantastic; both are bloated.

But that's just it, it just "feels" far leaner. jQuery, uncompressed and unminified, is almost as bulky as Prototype (100 KB vs. 124). Prototype does a lot in that extra 24 KB, is faster on some benchmarks, and I just like the way the code

Perhaps, but the problem with both sites is what Jason Kottke calls "infoglut": they are filters with too much content, so readers have to filter the filter. Most readers are going to instantly filter out content that doesn't speak to their

TC and Mashable cater to similar audiences, and TC gets about double the hits. We could, perhaps, estimate that you'd get 400 hits from TC. Unfortunately (and unfortunate for many reasons), science isn't a huge draw in a generalized audienc

If the company is great, but HR acts as a filter, skip HR. Contact the department you're looking at directly and be prepared to wow them.
