Los Angeles in general is pretty supportive of aviation. Not just adjacent to LAX, where you'll find SpaceX and Raytheon, but throughout the North from Pasadena into the West valley. The trend has been decreasing for a long time, but a

But really, it's the only sane way. Sorry, my QA guy is not going to test with Konqueror just because you happen to like it.

You must not live in the same world I do. I get paid to show people messaging they want to see. Do you get paid by vision-impaired users to represent them? Great! Do that. And this nonsense about design ignoring the vision impaired is misin

Personally, I avoid it. The client can afford CDN delivery and then we can assure availability. Donated project hosting doesn't have that guarantee.

From a marketing perspective, we kept getting really excited seeing screen resolutions rise and font rendering improve for our audience. Now designers can just design, not "for-web", which used to be a very restrictive medium comp

Yes, there are nuances that most people, myself included, don't understand because we have not used it extensively. This is human interaction with physical objects; there are literally infinite possible nuances. It doesn't take mu

So, really, no commercial "cloud" product meets these needs? So many other industries are beyond managing hardware; seems like an obvious opportunity for a product.

I found it interesting that both Lycos and WebCrawler linked to university domains and were in subdirectories. Those where my go-to when I was first online, but I remember them having concise domains by that time.

Has anyone actually said that? Investors like founder CEOs. If you listen to his story, Jack has been passionate about coordinating communication for a long time. Passion is a good thing for a company. Simple as that. meta: This is one of t

Maybe it's just me, but in discussions like this, I consistently interpret an expectation of naivety in non-college graduates. In practice, I find it's the exact opposite. If your mentality is to follow Gates' advice of a “mu

What about introducing users to specific qualities each track has in the player panel? "8 bit", "MIDI", etc. Get them into the content, and then answer their questions about what it is and why they should care. I think s

The actual experience is way more compelling than the animated intro. Ditch the explanation (which isn't even worded very well) and bring users right into the experience. If you want to have an animated intro, make it interact with you

As a non-college educated man, I am thankful that this subset of the dating population is not interested in me. If you make relationship choices based on arbitrary criteria like certificates-of-education you are in for an interesting experi

The feature I was referring to is not a long press. I'm sure it was prototyped somewhere 10 years ago, but that is not the same as bringing it to market at all. Styli and pressure sensitivity on Android is a great example of what you a

Yow. Here's a perspective from someone who has only owned two iPhones: I purchased the first gen on release day (2007) and carried it my pocket every day without a case until the 5 came out in 2012. I still have it, it still works. I b

Pretty insightful to compare this to Apple's recent release where they've introduced a brand-new input method, in addition to the usual spec-bump. Meanwhile, Google is still building phones that are trying to keep up with what are

You're probably better off submitting an issue on GitHub than dropping a bug report here.

These are all problems that have been solved. There are many existing solutions for elevating people... Are you suggesting that it is impossible to build a subway where groundwater exists? [1] All sizable tunnels have ventilation. While we

I have a vision, inspired by this problem, where every major highway is a "forested overpass". Instead of bisecting the top layer with roads and fences, build all major roads in tunnels, and bring the recovered surface area back t

This is the same reason why I'm careful which site I book hotel rooms on. Years ago I thought hotels.com was great and convenient, now I realize your experience is tainted from the moment you book with a third party. Now I make every a

This could use a touch more intelligence to cut down on a lot of the noise. You could eliminate `$equal` and `$match` by looking for regex types and strings. You could also take hints from Django and add operations to the keys to eliminate

First, this is not a debate about wether oppression exists; obviously it does. I'm asking if team-sports-like brand exclusivity is right, when our ultimate goal should be the acceptance of everyone. Do think about why you insist on lab

What is the ultimate goal you wish to achieve? Do you want to be known as the "gay black guy", or just another human friend? What if your sexual interests go beyond current definitions; are we to add a new slice to the pie chart s

That's really interesting. It sounds like that is very much a symptom of ingrained racism; something these people have been encouraged to do for most of their lives. I grew up in a pretty diverse neighborhood, so I know the people to f

I'm curious what privileges you perceive, or know to be true, for non-minorities. I absolutely agree there is a problem. I've heard many first-hand accounts of violence and disrespect from all races. I'm interested in a solut

The explicit nature of identifying these groups by race is off-putting, mostly because it is short-sighted. Racial identification can't be the solution if the ultimate goal is to end racial disparity. This obviously isn't the firs

Meh, people always get bent out of shape when a statement makes them think. You feel guilty because your mind associated it with something inappropriate. "Rape my X" is likely in reference to the window manager. I don't see a

Clear cutting absolutely did happen in the US. Take a flight over the Pacific Northwest and you can clearly see the effect decades later. Get out into remote areas and you can also see just how stark selective cutting is compared to a prist
