The nature of the iPhone and other touch devices makes :hover irrelevant in that context? WELL FUCK!!! BETTER THROW IT IN THE TRASH THEN AND QUIT USING IT ENTIRELY!!!!!! HOLY SHIT LOOK AT ME I'M A FUCKING INTERNET PUNDIT!!! HURF DURF HURRRF
Wow. Written like somebody who has never actually been poor. How disgusting
Diaspora's curse: They don't actually have a working product to show off -- or any product at all. This whole farce has been amazing. I can't believe anyone actually thinks they're going to produce -anything- that can actually be run or used.
yes it is. now it is just a little bit less horrible thanks to this.
as a guy who gets paid to write this shit for 8 hours a day -- Yes, and yes.
"If you’re one of those hipster programmers who loves Clojure, Ruby, Scala, Erlang, or whatever, you probably deeply loathe Java and all of its giant configuration files and bloated APIs of AbstractFactoryFactoryInterfaces."
Can we just get a moratorium on usage of "hipster" now? Everybody's using it wrong.
YES I REALIZE THE IRONY HERE
I will admit HN is one of those rare sites with a pretty good signal to noise ratio in comments.
I love this. Absolutely love it. I've always kind of dismissed comments as mostly empty white noise on the internet, and have never figured out why so many CMS systems/Blogging software/Web apps/etc are so eager to add comments to EVERYTHING.
Give me the content, I can form my own thoughts on it, and if I actually feel like my thoughts are worthwhile for reading I can publish them myself.
Wow! That's six whole displays I can't do anything useful on!
I was kind of surprised that something so trivial required JQuery or Prototype. Really now?
even an experienced mechanic will tell you that you can never have too much reference material
knowing how a vehicle mechanically works is one thing, figuring out how a certain manufacturer implemented those mechanical principles is totally another
Boring? God I hope so. Classic MacOS had the right idea aesthetics-wise. Boring, clean, neutral grays. I'm paying attention to the applications, not the OS windows.
Oh cool. A dead platform jumps onto another dead platform. The concept of a modern Amiga has gotten beyond ridiculous at this point.
"I make about $12k a month, which is not very much in the global scale of things, but it's fine."
I'm sorry, what?
Designers & programmers are not necessarily good writers either.
Wow HN, talk about blaming the victim here. I guess Plurk was totally asking for it?
Here is the actual David Mark post in question: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript/msg/071f...
Dude has some decent points but has the chronic usenet disease of not being able to put them forth in any manner even approaching tact or class.
It'd be cool if you guys would figure out how to properly implement RSS
1. You should be including a LINK element pointing towards your RSS feed in the page's HEAD so RSS-hip user agents can pick up on it.
2. Serve your RSS feeds with a proper mimetype. text/xml instead of text/html.
