I agree completely. I couldn't believe it when he made that Frame struct and completely abused RAII just to execute some code at the beginning and end of a block. The only really big wins were the wrappers for writing to different memory locations, all of which could have been implemented in C using macros or inline functions.

Presumably for the same reason that people prefer native applications on iOS / Android to using web applications in mobile browsers.

This approach allows you to tailor the controls and the display to the specific application, thus creating a more pleasant experience.

Have you tried using HN in lynx?

AFAIK, the force of gravity propagates at light-speed, so every particle in the universe is not being acted upon by every other particle in the universe via gravity, because the distance between some particles is increasing faster than that due to the expansion of the universe.

I think something else that could have impacted their results is that for some people, the knowledge that they are being tested changes the way they think/perform quite drastically. When I sit at a desk and do menial work, I get restless and my productivity plummets. But if you tell me that I'm being assessed, and you give me a straightforward task, I will have no trouble focusing on it for at least an hour. Maybe treadmill desks help you stay on task, but at the same time inhibit your cognitive performance slightly.

I don't drink coffee terribly frequently, but I'm still intrigued by this Dandy Blend drink... has anyone else tried it? Even for the samples, it costs $11.60 to have it shipped to eastern Canada, so I'm a little hesitant.
