A better title would be "20 years of UI convention stuck in the back of my head and getting used to the ribbon takes time". The piece contains nothing but subjective opinions and does in no way justify a conclusion that the Ribbon sucks. Ye

Looking at your comment, I went back and skimmed trough all the slides in there, and realize I after seeing the comment here on HN that I thought all the examples would be Lisp-like and skipped the slides before seeing the rest. You're righ

I know lots of great programmers real life. Not a single one of them knows Lisp. To me Lisp is about obscure as languages gets and the only place I see it mentioned is here and on proggit every now. COBOL would definitely not be my language

In the process making it obfuscated and unreadable to a large audience. I realize it may be an unpopular opinion around here, but large herds of programmers around the world does not know Lisp, have no intention in learning it and see no po

Sorry. I'm not going to bother digging up a source for this, but if it adds any credibility to his statement I remember this as well.

As far as I know codepages is all about the browser (usually handles this well) and server-side solution (your milage may vary). When it comes to problems with (F)CKEditor, my problem in this particular case is usually the markup. The marku

Not sure what the moral of this piece is. But that piece of Java code is both impressive & scary as hell at the same time.

I guess fair is fair. Some sysadmins assume by default that the users are dead stupid and will lock them down hard. And some users will think sysadmins are evil creatures from the inner circles of hell taking massive pleasure in this. At le

And with an engineer’s logic, he laid out his reasons for returning to the fray. Search determines where users go online, and search advertising is the most powerful economic force on the Internet. The business is too important to be contr

Sure Linux may be a "hackers OS", but I'd still argue the opposite. For people who work with Linux for a living, like system administration, you want your Linux distro to absolutely minimize the amount of work needed. When your server-park

I don't really get the fascination around Slackware. As a distro it is probably the least featured among all of the distros out there. It doesn't even have automated patch management for Christ's sake. Only real use I see for it is using it

In short, Apple has just approved an application which renders iTunes obsolete. And this is why I can't wait until it shows up in the AppStore. Edit: Except the "minor" point renkeky brings up.

Off-topic, but still: In the US you seriously need some thorough regulation to make this bullshit go away. You are acting like this is how a normal market is supposed to work. To help you gain some perspective I welcome you, and your standa

Given the hundreds of millions of users, tens of millions of webmasters, and many advertisers and publishers that Google interacts with, it would be difficult to have one-on-one conversations with all of them even if everyone at Google did

While this is definitely good geek porn, I have to say as a C# programmer that there might be some things which C# can do but which you might want to abstain from :)

The same applies to the iPhone Skype client. Where I live (Norway) I know no operator which actively blocks applications on phones. You pay for data, you get data. A simple and fair deal. But because AT&T in the US doesn't like it, I ca

Doesn't accept "ø" which is actually a real world letter that happens to be found in my name. Useless. A plea to developers: If you are going to do filtering and sanitizing on your input, at least make sure you get it right.

I was about to make a post about how I wanted twitter dead to end all this useless noise about URL shorteners. Then I realized that the reason there is noise here is that some people actually seem to think they have something to offer the w

Phones have been able to recieve SMSes longer than 140 characters for about a decade now. Limiting a service on the internet because 0.1% of the users want SMS notification on decade old phones is stupid and backwards.

I mean, sure, X over SSH is slow across the Internet, even with compression, but then MS Windows Remote Desktop is no blazing-fast, realtime operation under those circumstances, either. Actually it is. I can work with remote desktop sessi

I have serious doubts about that being true. What about people submitting their own content? Stuff from RSS? Irc? Forwards at work? Random discovery? Only links I have ever seen on twitter is to Wil Weathon's blog posts. Not a single link

Myabe I'm biased (working with Microsoft tech), but if Microsoft indeed "crushed" these netbooks it would only be because of the failing of competing operating systems. Myself, I use Ubuntu on my netbook and have no issue with that (since I
