I think curation and code review should really be an important part of the theme and plugin repositories. Perhaps they need 'approved' and 'Open' directories for the repositories? There used to be this issue with people having issues distri

This is probably as good a time as any to rehash Mike Montiero's talk 'Fuck You, Pay Me' http://vimeo.com/22053820 I've been instructed to do things like this by past employers and I've never been comfortable with it. There are other aven

I've had this happen to a number of clients; for the most part we were able to get the sites changed/taken down through DMCA submissions (copyrighted materials, art). I don't know if this avenue is available to you but you might want to loo

It probably depends on whom you ask and what the currency is. Something like Bitcoin could be seen as very subversive. Money is an asset/liability relationship, there is no intrinsic value in a fiat currency.

My dad was unlucky enough to be a victim of these guys. I was surprised, being a lawyer for so many decades, that he didn't realize that no one at Microsoft is that nice as to give you a call because your machine is slow. Common sense peopl

I have this problem frequently on many sites; whether its from a UI deficiency or my own memory error. I have trained myself to always open listed/grid links in a new tab as a result. When building sites now, I usually contemplate using tar

The best/worst things about communities like HN and Reddit are that you're only going to get what the community is capable of producing. When the mean age/experience of the community tilts the wrong way the discourse is naturally affected a

I've been using these since ~2007 or so and this is a frequent issue. When new versions of IE or Windows come out they have been very, very slow to update these.

I should think it was the price first, then the size and the weight. That was an extremely expensive laptop. If they brought it back, I'd be afraid to ask what kind of GPU it takes to drive a 17" Retina screen on a laptop.

The thing that really turned me off first were the classnames for the grid (one column example): Foundation: .one.column Skeleton: .one.column Bootstrap: .span1 Then there are various other non-semantic classes: .btn, .pull-left, etc. It se

As someone that deals with markup for the majority of their day I've been bouncing between all of these for the past year or so. I've been using Skeleton for awhile and loved the simplicity. I tried Bootstrap but the semantics are so horrib

I don't meant to be rude but if you are not familiar with Modernizr and you work with markup; you are probably nowhere near as well informed as you think you are.

This is not an MVP of some new SaaS. This is maps on a smartphone; perhaps the most important feature of a smartphone other than the dialer. To do this so jarringly to your users is inexcusable.

You know, reduced accuracy and functionaliy like that might be acceptable for an email client or a web browser (no copy and paste, other quality of life features) but not a mapping application. Before Google Maps, digital maps were HORRIBLE

Android != Google Apps. Amazon seems to be doing just fine with it, just as all the ROM developers have.

This is romanticising the film industry; it has not changed much in the past few decades. People remember one or two films a year out of THOUSANDS. It's always been that way; there are a few gems in a sea of the same old shit.

Poor metaphor. If anything, the risks of hackers and proliferation of Wikileaks like sites have made this danger more of a reality. Killing people is a trivial effort when it comes down to it; most people in the world would rather not kill

Yes, this was my reaction as well. I think the author missed the point of the commercial altogether. You DO see the product, its front and center - the Genius. I think it's a particularly poor choice for marketing computers (like Best Buy a

Well that would certainly cover the 'risk everything to turn it around' idea posited above. I don't think anyone thinks FB didn't overpay for Instagram, it seemed like a desperate move, but then again they were flush with cash and it might
