It's very reminiscent of early reddit, with its ugly interface. The ugly interface was actually a feature and a usability bonus. It kept out a lot of riff raff that tried to migrate to reddit from Digg (which at the time had a larger commun

I do, simply because I'm conscious of the fact using a computer screen is essentially like staring into a lightbulb. I like to think dark themes minimize the damage to my retinas, but whether this is true or not, I don't know.

While I don't agree that it denotes bad UX in all cases, I acknowledge that it can be overdone to the point of annoyance (ala the new YouTube, which is a hover-fest)

I find them very useful when I want to send a quick email to somebody with a link. It looks neater (OCD) when you say: "Look what I found on the internet - rddd.it/xxxx" Also, I link so many people to interesting reddit threads and I'd rath

What was the intended purpose of devvit? Social aggregator for developers?

by yashodhan 17y ago
Well, using URL shorteners to submit links to news aggregators is dumb, I agree. But I use URL shorteners to send friends/family to links and that's really the point of rddd.it. I'm not saying use rddd.it ON reddit. I'm a little confused wh

In the same way they would use bit.ly or tinyurl.

That's the same laptop I have. Do you think it'll last for a while?

Question, what software are you running under that?

The author comes across as a whiney and effeminate control freak. Japan has it right; meat is awesome. 80's music is awesome. The liberty to choose what drugs you inject into your body is again, awesome. Seems like he would fit well with hi

Great points, solid advice - I can't thank you enough. You've given me a lot to think about and definitely helped stack a few chips in favour of Ruby. I'm a lowly web designer with many ideas for web apps that I'd love to implement/see impl

Thanks for the response. I'd prefer to learn Ruby over PHP but I'm hesitant because it seems like PHP has a larger audience / more documentation that would help me in my quest to create web apps. Googling for help with errors in PHP would b

I empathize with Nietzsche, I seem to exhibit the same mental traits that he did. I thought I enjoyed solitude but I'm starting to see that I'm slowly but surely going mad all by myself (I have no constant friend circle). By being a hermit

Do you remember where you read that? I've heard about the positive experience of facebook from somebody else and I'd really to read the source. A URL or title/keywords would be helpful.

I don't usually tell people this but the Indian geek on BBT is my cousin. And no disrespect to my cousin meant but I'm just not a fan of the show; mainly because I don't enjoy laugh track-aided sitcoms (exception being Seinfeld) and that I
