I think you are right. I don't agree with PG when he is talking about Apple. "None of them are run by product visionaries" is simply not true. Steve Jobs had great respect for companies like Sony because there are product visionary compan

✔ it's also good practice to check unicode first. Arrows for example are available in all shapes and directions. ➜ So if there is an icon available in unicode just use that one.

This HN page is about 1.2KB. Now tell me again why you need 2MB for a single Tweet page. Also take a look at the mobile Twitter site: http://mobile.twitter.com/bos31337/status/172156922491969536 Today PG posted some HN stats: http://news

Never mind. I read 192kbps instead of 192kHz. 24 bit might have some advantages but 192kHz not.

And still using one server? One thing I learned from PG is to first look at your code before upgrading the hardware.

I think this only applies to headphones. People also 'hear' sound with there body (skin). Maybe you could call it experiencing sound. And then there are resonating sounds that cannot be heard but help to create other sounds. But maybe this

They don't need cookies to track you when your browser footprint is unique enough ( http://panopticlick.eff.org/ ). So you still need a tool like Ghostery ( http://www.ghostery.com/ ) to disable the snippets that can track you. But then aga

Isn't this all about interest? When you are interested in a subject you are more likely to try again and learn from your mistakes. People with an almost unhealthy interest in a subject (people with Asperger for example; they think Newton ha

Maybe this picture will help you: http://www.creativeapplications.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/... Now you have different options to display it. One is to map it on a 3D object and place a camera inside the object. More info and movies: h

Of course Blender is lazy loading as you like to call it. Why load features the user is not using atm? The base of the program is just way better than lets say Photoshop. Ever checked an online Photo editor? ( http://pixlr.com/editor/ for

You are wrong. Everytime I start Blender (3D content creation suite) I'm blown away by the time it takes to start. Less than 2 seconds! Ready to use! Do I call Blender a complicates program? Yes I do. The feature list can compete with the o

Funny that people notice this. I think this is how all pages on the internet should be! Lately I'm getting tired of all those fancy Javascript pages or pages build on bloated frameworks. The speed of this forum has nothing to do with D. You

More tips: * Always stand-up while meeting. * Not everyone can lead a meeting. Ask someone how can to lead the meeting. This can even be someone without interest in the subject.

These are not problems with phone numbers. 20 years ago I knew all phone numbers from my friends and kept them on paper. I still keep them on paper. The points you describe could also be said about e-mail addresses and website addresses. Th

Reminds me of Christopher Alexander's book 'A Pattern Language' where he explains exactly this. I even think the programmers of 'The Sims' and others used it. Sometimes it's also called Object-Oriented Design.

I do realize this. But I was talking about the Tesla in its current form. Ofcourse it might get a success some day. Maybe we won't have to charge them because they all will have a small nuclear reactor. My point is: a lot of people are stil

I still think it won't succeed. Electric cars have been build since 1904. But range have always been a problem. Ofcourse charging your car becomes quicker. But I still think a lot of people won't buy an electric car because they are afraid

Are you living in Amsterdam? You have to wait years for a parking permit. And when you want to park your car you have to drive around minutes before you will find a place to park.

The screen resolution he mentions is 0.1% of a 1024x768 resolution. So lets say we need 1000MHz to render 1024x768. Then I think modern software is doing alright. Because today we calculate more color bits, keep track of all the input devic
