   That was my first thought, the author seems to like three-letters, I don't know why `sql` is better than `db` for database, considering not all databases are based on the SQL standard, and `mta` for mail server? Really?

   Your mum likely doesn't have the need to connect multiple email endpoints through a single API either , your mum is not the intended audience of this product as it stands.

   I think it would. All this is doing is shifting data from an optimised UI to an unoptimised UI. Performing a search on Twitter and selecting all tweets, and every now and then hitting the load new tweets button is free and easy, compared wi

   It's on GitHub, you can self-host it if you wanted to. It's not a service yet .

   Given enough time, everything eventually causes cancer. And every-time I see a new article describing something that I like being linked to cancer I try to ignore it, otherwise I'll spend more time researching what not to consume than

   You're thinking of Google Chrome, Chromium[0] is the open-source project behind Google Chrome, they're different, and Chromium is tied less to Google. [0]: http://www.chromium.org/

   I'd like to see "metrics" replaced with "measurements" – metrics is the theory of measurement, not the measurements themselves.

   Nice site, took a lot of refreshes for it to work for me though (console is saying that certain scripts were not loading because they were timing out (jquery, moment)).

    And the arrows aren't vertically aligned with the buttons. I don't despair, it's common of Apple to make big changes and gradually improve over time, Aqua wasn't perfect, but in Mountain Lion (despite not being truly Aqu

    It could but should not. A better product for that might be Optimizely, where you can use your actual URL. However, I once worked with an extremely obsessive owner of a business and she sat by me each time I made any changes to the copy on

    As an aside, it's interesting that GitHub as added support for Swift language detection so quickly, yet I frequently read stories (on HN too) about their passiveness to correct or add other (sometimes more) popular languages.

    It's fun once. It's impractical for someone editing the code later though, I don't want to have to look up the unicode character each time I want to remember it, and I don't want to have to copy and paste it either, it&#

    And here's mine: My first Mac was the G3, I'm now on a 2013 11" Macbook Air (10.9.2) and I have never experienced a kernel panic ever, I couldn't tell you what a kernel panic looks like. The only time I ever have an issu

    I'm glad you mentioned that SLOC in a project needs to be considered, I was reading the article and thinking about how many people have uploaded a skeleton Rails app just to check out the features of Code Climate – more developers lead

    Fair enough. I'll give one more story as to why I like cabbies though, after a heavy night in Bethnal Green, I hailed a taxi (hungover) at around 6:00am, told him to drive me to East Sheen and said I'd pay him the next day because

    I have fallen asleep on the District line meaning to change at Embankment, and woken up in Essex, this has happened around 4 or 5 times (usually after a couple of beers) and it costs around £120 (~$200) from Dagenham East to Camden – a priv

    It being included will have no performance overhead since it's only loaded if it's used. I'm personally for this idea, I've used DJ, Resque and Sidekiq, all in the same project (increasing load), and in that order; It wo

    The people with iPhones are still Apple's customers, and it's their messages that are disappearing. That's a perfectly good case for a CAL. Suppose that someone tried texting someone for medical assistance (silly, I know...),

    Without sounding rude, what's the actual difference? Or for that matter, how do we define quality? If you're talking about planned obsolescence then Apple could be excused for being in the technology market; which changes rapidly.
