Since their example of task completion was allowing flickr to continue to upload your photos after switching away from the application, I'm sure downloads will be possible as well.

That's really quite the generalization. Some forms of jazz are very much like that, yes; however, there are many forms of jazz, particularly focusing on those from 1910-1950, which are very structured in form and don't really lend themselve

Future versions of sass will support this without 'having' to use Compass.

That has no bearing on the organization of the directory tree of your code. I already keep my projects (public and private) in version control (on GitHub).

By snippets, I mean little bits of useful code or short scripts that I don't use frequently, but find myself reusing them regularly enough to keep them around. Generally, I don't keep these in version control, and as such, they're not poste

You don't need Firebug in Chrome, fyi. The built-in developer tools are WebKit's, which have been far better than Firebug for about the last year now.

Additionally, touch on a few other really useful methods for approximating solutions and decompositions, namely: partial pivoting, Householder reflections, Givens rotations, and of course, the Power Method. Additionally, SVD. We covered the

Why? In my experience, Safari 4 has been noticeably faster than FF3.5 RC1. I could understand wanting the extensions and such, but if speed made that much of a difference in your decision, I just can't fathom how Firefox on OS X could be pr

This is awesome. While I really like the indentation-based syntax, allowing variables without having to use even more punctuation is fantastic.

It's interesting, for sure, but I like haml/sass and that style much more. Not to mention, having arguments for mixins is really, really nice. And compass is solid too.

I use VoodooPad, which is a very solid application, and to boot, it's written by an indie developer.

I have a friend who two years ago got a summer internship at Microsoft because his work in Open Source had made a reputation that preceded him. Mind, MS is hardly the most OSS-friendly company out there, but they at least recognize that wor

He was probably compiling stuff in Xcode, which could in fact make one of his cores overheat.

I should note that I voted your comment up based on your edit. Not that I don't agree with your original statement, but humility is usually a pleasant surprise.

This is a pretty neat project, and similar to something I saw done recently at Yahoo Hack Week at Georgia Tech (IIRC), but done as a webapp instead of a desktop app.

Hacker News isn't so much just about programming, but things that are interesting to programmers. It's entirely possible that the programmers that visit HN are interested in that topic.

I'm a bit concerned about the UI. It seems like they did their best to copy the Windows UI using custom Cocoa widgets, which is fine in its own right, but leads to some weird inconsistencies. Namely, the huge gap on the far left past the ta

In Firefox, I was using a lovely extension which provided me the ability to do regular expression searches with the browser's built-in searching utility. Additionally, I had as of late been using Stylish, Socialite, and Ubiquity fairly regu
