There is CardDAV sync built in to iOS Contacts, but I don't think the person who programmed it actually tried using it. When you create a contact on the iPhone, there's no reasonable UI for putting it in a group (it can…

Wow. Is no one spared?
For the record, it's been around more than two decades.
Where did you go? It's hard to find any US bank that supports it any more, let alone one with decent interest rates.

It's also important that assembly lines can be offshored, whereas a lot of repairs really need to be done locally by someone who can interact with the consumer to understand the problem. Countries where labor is cheap…
Article content starts out in a straightforward, easy-to-process form, as created by the reporter/author, in a content management system. Then the CMS chops it up into pages and adds boilerplate for presentation as a…
I agree about the convenience of having multiple branches in a single repo, as opposed to the darcs way which is one working directory per branch. For one thing, I never found a convenient way to switch between branches…
The work week is just starting on the east coast of the US and this has already dropped to 123rd place. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to post it over the weekend, particularly a holiday weekend. On the other hand, it…
I prefer to go each day to a list of curated aggregators like HN or what the people I follow on Twitter or saying But aggregators can publish RSS streams too. How is following someone on Twitter different from…
You forgot to say where you are. You even forgot to mention it on your web site, as far as I can see.
You're attacking a straw man. Here are some arguments that people do sometimes make, and that somewhat resemble your straw man, but are less ridiculous: - Making a copy of a file isn't stealing because it doesn't…
This is from Fedora 13 (not 14, sorry), with subpixel hinting, without the patch: http://i.imgur.com/whG3S.png Comparing it to your patched F14 version, the roman typefaces look quite different, but overall I can't say…
It seems to me that the delta thing has made updates slower, not faster. I have a reasonably fast network connection and a P4 CPU; maybe with a slow connection and a fast CPU the equation works out better with deltas.…
If you're talking about the Android email app, there actually is a fork, called K-9, and it's significantly better.
Your previous comments provided an interesting (if unnecessarily polemical) counterpoint, but you've lost me with this one. Exploring the potential ramifications of a policy change is the very reason for discussing it,…
Has anyone read Piaw's book (linked to in the last sentence of the blog post)? Do you recommend it?
Right now all I see is two URLs unrelated to the topic and a couple of people using columns A and B to chat. Vandalism, or a google docs issue? Update: now the whole spreadsheet is completely blank.
"Quarter note," "eighth note" etc. are the standard terms in US English. What you call a quaver, we call an eighth note, regardless of time signature. (4/4 time means there are 4 quarter notes in a measure; 3/4 means…
It was a joke, jeez. It's kind of funny that of all the post-CVS version control systems, the one that calls itself "subversion" is the one that hews the closest to the traditional paradigm.
I spent quite some time working on the "palindromic pangram" problem. I believe I solved it, but my program took several days to finish, so there's probably an optimization I'm still missing. If my program is correct,…
