It's funny how americans boil water in microwaves, while the rest of the world does it in kettles. There was a discussion on reddit about it. I didn't realize it, but apparently it has to do with the fact that most americans rarely drink te

The difference is convenience. You don't have to reposition your fingers to access the menu. IMO, the best example of this UI pattern is Android Browser (at least on tablets, don't have an Android phone yet) - you slide your finger from eit

What makes me sad about js client-side frameworks and Ember.js in particular is that they are still only client-side. Nevermind the code duplication, but the bare fact that I have to actually think about how to construct my server so that i

Good point, however it is, I think, still unclear wether a patient would benefit from less or more regulation. It, again, looks like a more general discussion of left vs right. While people tend to take sides, we still have about equal numb

The government is, actually, extremely slow. I don't remember exactly how it was, but I think there's only one state in US in which it is illegal to have plans to smoke weed in Netherlands. But even that has taken years to implement. My gue

I think this is a perfect opportunity for businesses from other countries to step in. Say, some company in a less regulated country starts selling ones. Would it be actually cheaper to hop on a plain and get yourself one, instead of taking

The amount of links per line of text in this article is really distracting.

I'm not sure, but I believe sale of this kind of thing must be regulated by authorities. I mean, plug electrodes to your head? Sure, looks legit.

Screw couchserfing, people there have a radically different set of values from mine, as I found. Malaysia is wonderful, I've been there once. However it's a bit more expensive and I don't think I can afford it currently. Then there are visa

Thank you. Yeah, there's work to do, you're right. I just needed this asap for my own purposes. At least it works right away and I hope it proves useful to somebody already.

I used to go to Cambodia & Malaysia to get 2+1 months visas. What place in Thailand are you going?

Yes, thanks for the correction.

FlightGear appears to be what X-Plane used to be at version 5. X-Plane (which is now at version 10) is quite impressive and enjoyable indeed. I play it all the time.

My proposition is that the watch button means you only see important updates, like when the new major version of Rails is released. The importance should still be decided by the repo maintainer though. I don't agree with bundling commits pr

I think this is great and the idea may be replicated for anything else in the opensource world. For instance, how a about voting for useful git commands, useful rubygems or js libs? It's not always clear, especially for the novice, what is

I'm on Linux and macosx interchangeably. The problem with sticky notes (and I tried them both on paper and computer desktop) is that you have to remember to look at them. I just don't. I was thinking maybe an app that displays growl notific

Because I don't have to go to the office or be online at office hours, I can make my schedule whatever I want to. Since maybe 2-3 years ago I've stopped forcing myself to wake up when I want to sleep or go to sleep when I don't want to. Thi
