You have a contract with the airline. They have to take you to your destination and, in case things go wrong, there are laws that mandate what they must do extra. You will save yourself a lot of grief if you don't expect the airline

Nothing of the sort, all in all, Flex is indeed a great platform. The sad reality is that it only runs on a crappy, obsoleted runtime (Flash) so it is not useful for most web development, but otherwise everything he says is true. For a web

For most casual personal computing, anyone reasonably smart being after you already means you lost. If they also know your own software better and have a big computer, you never had a chance.

You don't call a framework "micro" based on the amount of code it takes to achieve certain tasks. You call it "micro" because it's small enough that you can learn and truly master in a short time (and you get t

All the nesting and redundancy come from Java itself. Verbose as it may be, after you use any language for a while you will see right through the syntax and it will not add (much) cognitive load to your work. I think the value here is in ha

Delphi, WinForms, Swing wxWidgets are the old guard, if you want to see what web apps could be in terms of UI development look at XAML (WPF), MXML (Flex), QML (QT) -- sane layouts, components, built-in data binding, etc. and still XML/

Kit Kat's homepage is currently a monstrosity. Scrolling down the page pushes a new history URL every half page, using the back button is then essentially broken (on Firefox at least) and actually getting back to the page that unfortun

Since everyone uses the one line of bash to just start their favourite complex network utility, I'll also contribute mine: while true; sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start; break; done;

The way I see it, it's a nice set of slides -- barely any UX though. I also think the UX is flawed because there is no visible way to go back to the previous slide or to the beginning (other than the browser's back button so it&#x

I think I wasn't clear enough on what I meant. Open Sans itself is a nice font, I have nothing against it. As a web font it might get rendered improperly, but that is an issue with the browser and the platform. What I was talking about -- u

Since we are on this topic, I have a public service announcement: even though light Open Sans looks great and is trendy for headings, using a light font weight for body text is a bad idea because it makes it difficult to read. I keep comi

Make that a €2000 good electrical bike then, you're still paying €3000+ for the fancy body.

I keep coming across velomobiles and they are slick and all, but I would find it hard to justify the price when, as a casual user, all you get over a good €1000 bike is some protection from the elements, while also losing a lot of mobility

You're describing two episodes of competent customer service. Nothing incredible, just good work from a company you're paying money to. The problem is not with their quality -- once you do get someone on your case, it won't be a minimum wag

First, I don't appreciate having to give you my (fake) email address before I can see the pricing. I would also suggest making it easy to replace images, especially the logo and the hero elements, with plain text boxes (textured/gradient/so

If you really care about your customers instead of your product, and they are more than happy with the "professional" Bootstrap UI, you have no reason to mess with it. What is always good to have is a designer or at least a developer with a
