Can you provide a concrete examples?

Its true you should consider who your users are. But these numbers shouldn't be used to determine what size to make a website. I'd guess most people with 1920x1080 monitors don't maximize their browser.

I'd add: if you don't feel like working, don't. Sitting there in a cycle of pretending to work and then distracting yourself is worse in every way than just stopping and doing something else. Even in a single-person startup we often pressur

Psh, if anyone gets contacted via DTF you should submit the post to https://www.faxins.com , so the entire internet can laugh at your technologically impaired suitor!

Definitely awesome. I'm surprised that all of my bookmarks say "This bookmark is being indexed". Surely you've already indexed a lot of them as they probably overlap with other Hacker News users. Do you index every bookmark for every user o

Very nice! I built a demo of simple, pay-by-the-hour minecraft servers about a year ago but never launched. Lately I've been thinking about resurrecting that project. I guess now there's some competition. Its pretty clear that previous solu

When you say objects I assume you mean model objects? In that case yes. I haven't used Piston or Tastypie in awhile, but I know that you can easily write views in django-rest-framework that aren't tied to models. This is a bullet from the d

It handles them fully. I haven't played with the many to many support, but from having looked through the code it fully supports getting/setting many to many relationships. One thing that does seem to be a bit lacking is the documentation.

For those who haven't seen it, the awesome django-rest-framework has built in support for browsable, self-documenting, HATEOS APIs. Here's a browsable example API: http://rest.ep.io/ Because your browser provides Accept: text/html by defa

But you had the gamification stuff in place for everyone right? So there'd be no control group.

Well its an obvious insight. But the actual increase in time spent on page is what would be interesting.

Hey thanks for the shout out! I was wondering when you were going to post results. There are some really cool visualizations in the linked opani page: http://opani.com/ryan/elevator-analysis/results/#key=elevato... I think the most releva

This is great because it forces participants to carefully consider the _details_ of each others' designs. As a designer moves along he or she will invariably encounter lots of little constraints that were previously unknown. A good design i

If you're about to submit a comment containing "I don't mean to be", stop and consider whether what you're submitting adds any value (as defined by the HN guidelines in this case) to the conversation. This is telling: "There's a hell of a l

I should have said "Google considers a fast Chrome a means to an end". That's what I meant.
226.
by slewis 15y ago
Google doesn't care if Chrome is perceived as faster. They want the entire web to be faster. They use Chrome to push the envelope.

And the developer gets positive karma from the press for doing this, which leads to more sales. Sweet! (disclaimer: I'm not at all insinuating that they did it for the press. I just like that a good action is being rewarded.)

"People really do not want..." People or you? To me it seems that "people", as in the majority of users for such a product, don't really know or care.

Thanks! That's the impression that I got from reading a similar thread about Bootstrap 1. I opted for Foundation because I want to get something reasonable together for prototyping, but also apply a full design later. webpop looks awesome b

Can someone compare and contrast Boostrap 2.0 with ZURB Foundation? I've been using Foundation for a new project and am really digging the responsive layout features.

I'd guess its an experiment about when people stop clicking. Most people either only click a few times, or stop right at 20 times, when they receive the easter egg buttons. So, the lesson is: give your users a perceived reward for taking ac

I'm happy with my Comcast. Its always fast and has never once gone out the whole 5 years I've been using it in San Francisco. I've never had to speak with customer service (which is maybe one reason I'm ok with it). I guess the cap is a bit

People are always hating on bigcos around here. "Sky Map’s development will now be driven by the students, with Google engineers remaining closely involved as advisors." That sounds pretty awesome, especially for the students involved.

I don't use an iphone, but does Siri help bridge the voice command gap?
