How many years of experience did you have using Windows before then? You had a lot of domain knowledge already whether you realize it or not. "The first time I used Emacs I found all kinds of Lisp functions I already knew. It has a familiar

Oh, must be a recent change. I don't like that they removed the text on the arrow keys as well. They used to say page up/down and home/end since fn-left is home, fn-right end, fn-up page up and fn-down page down. That's not obvious to switc

I agree. Calling the command key apple is falling out of use though. Most people these days call it command or use the cloverleaf symbol, and it says command and has the cloverleaf symbol on it. People have started calling option alt and I'

I feel like my answers are quite trivial since nobody really knows how to design a good language, including me. (the rest is not related to the above quote) Alan mentions that education doesn't happen fast enough. Here's a cra

I was talking to my sister and her husband the other day. They recently moved to Singapore and have 12gb/month data plans. I don't know what they pay but as they're both casual users I assume they didn't get anything outrageous. Made me ver

People use NoScript to prevent crappy sites from doing annoying, stupid, or malicious things. I'm pretty sure most NoScript users whitelist sites that they visit that are legit and require JavaScript. That's how I use it anyway.

I don't see what the big deal is. Disable JavaScript and you can check out all the demos. :p

Probably for small jobs where WebObjects would be overkill. And they don't use PHP instead of WebObjects they use both PHP and WebOjects, right tool for the job and all that. They also use SproutCore, jQuery (or have used it), Gianduia, and

After browsing through the spec a little I can't take axod's claims seriously. He's way off the mark saying that endianness of values sent over the network doesn't matter. The fact that they are random bytes is irrelevant, they have meaning

I completely understand your frustration with the over-specification. Why would they send it over the wire if it was never meant to be used though? Surely the other side is interpreting these bytes somehow and excepts them in a certain orde

I'm going for the first time this year. One thing I'll add that my friend advised me on was using SubEthaEdit. You get to collaborate on notes and can sometimes snag notes on sessions you couldn't attend. Sounds pretty cool, definitely goin

When it goes over the network it has to be big-endian so both sides agree on the value. That's why we call it "network order". If the value is random and you send the low byte first and then treat that as the high byte it would work. I can'

We were abusing Dropbox beyond belief at that company. We had a single account w/ 50GB and there were about 5 of us sharing the single account, updating it simultaneously. Dropbox was simply never meant for that. Now that I think about it,

I've had dropbox lose files inside bundles. We were abusing dropbox with hundreds of thousands of small files, so I'd be very careful about putting your entire $HOME folder in there since it's a pretty similar scenario. My personal rule is

This guy single handedly built a tablet that's only twice the weight of the iPad but considering the specs that's actually really good. The screen is 13", for example. He built this himself! It's his first go at it. Imagine what he could do

Damn, that's pretty nice. I would use it around the house for sure. Very nice specs for the size and weight.
