I don’t think Marco is really making a point here. He’s just sharing what he’s been thinking about. But I don’t think he is saying that a “hot” interface is neccessarily good or bad.

It’s this way for anyone who’s good or bad at anything. If you’re not good, you’ll be confused and clumsily try to get the results you want. If you’re good, you actually understand what you’re doing and make deliberate strokes .

3.3.1 is an issue for developers. No Flash is actually a super huge deal for users. I think one of the main reasons they published this was so they could respond to “iPhone doesn’t even have Flash.”

The ad makes me think more about (and appreciate) Steve Jobs the individual rather than the Apple brand.

I think it’s easy to get stuck thinking you have to use bash and the UNIX utilities for sysadmin tasks. Automating some more complicated stuff is just a pain in the ass to write and maintain if you just use bash, sed, awk, grep and frie

Is there really a serious issue in the way OS X handles SSDs? I think I want to replace my MacBook’s hard disk with an SSD, but I’m afraid of having to spend hours rigging out the best configuration. Do you have to play with settings if you

iPad (that is, iPhone OS) could be better at setting the time. I was completely unaware I had to do that until I tried using the App Store. I wasn't prompted to enter the time when I first started the device, the time didn't synchronize wit

Since it’s by the same author, this is probably inspired by or related to Armin’s April Fools’ Python micro web framework: Denied: Python Micro-Framework ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1237412 ) April 1st Post Mortem ( http://news.yc

I wanted to enter my data, but doing that seems like too much work. Way too much clicking and page jumping, and then it looks like I have to fill in dates too that I’m not sure I can pull out at the top of my head. I think the UI for that

How about a similar experiment about 20 years ago? Has anyone watched a young child try to navigate a command prompt? I mean changing directories, and maybe eventually learning a basic understanding of the filesystem and what files are. I a

Wget seems to be better at naming saved files: `curl -O http://host/my%20file.txt` annoyingly saves to `my%20file.txt` while `wget http://host/my%20file.txt` will save to `my file.txt`.

I know the CouchDB team said they were taking steps to make CouchDB officially usable as a distributed system. Is this it? Or has this chapter been around for a long time?

I don’t like that you’re drawing a line between talent and education. I would probably arrogantly classify myself as someone with a “good ear” but because of my experiences with different music and musicians. I often say people think too mu
