Swing layout was bad then (gridbaglayout!) and is bad now. The framework's approach is bad. Components provide min, pref, max sizes that are very often just ignored. Components need a layout mystery object in order to…
True those platforms have security controls, better than what we've ever seen on desktop. Desktop also needs controls like that: to use the system tray, filesystem, hardware, etc. There's at least a work multiplier of 3…
Hard disagree. Lots exist but none are great. Usually layout isn't sane. Another blunder is components are too complex with too many layers. Customization and creating your own components becomes difficult. Often the…
Ah. One difference is a normal desktop can access a lot more or even all of your system. Otherwise cross platform UI toolkits exist: GTK, Qt, Swing, SWT, etc. They could be great but they aren't, not because it can't be…
No, tables are the right solution: nonoverlapping elements arranged in a sane way that is easy to reason about. The arguments about semantics so everything can be a div are hilarious -- it really doesn't matter.
Yes, a terrible one. That's what the article is about.
Windows Firewall Control is good, binisoft iirc.
The Bay Area start up money bought nice marketing that makes it look popular, but it's not really.
Close! It was 1 dev and 1 artist for a long time. Eventually the runtime and support load became too high and it's slowly grown to 9 people. Running lean was satisfying but exhausting.
Anyone can distribute the Spine Runtimes without a Spine license, but they have to attach the Spine Runtimes license, which means the need for a Spine license is pushed down the line to their users. In this way someone…
The only thing that makes sense to me is that the body gets more efficient.
Good point, that also works. For some reason I never remember to use it.
Ha, it works great! I like it, thank you!
The blog header popping up constantly makes the page unreadable.
I didn't really expect anyone who played HaVoC to see my post. It's cool you guys are out there! Like you I was just tinkering, though I stuck with it for a long time. At that point I was 19 and literally living in my…
This is GREAT! The usability is through the roof, and supporting HN in the same way is super cool. It's similar to Sync but simpler and even better in some ways. To bring your own subreddit subscriptions into this, use…
Hello! Yes! It's cool you remember. I resurrected the site a while ago and gave it a domain. I also have a HaVoC server running on a Linode, so there will always be a server up. The master servers are a bit of a mess…
I had a lot of fun making the HaVoC Tribes 1 mod. It was really cool seeing there was 1000 people online playing my mod at once.

0.3mg is right. I recommend get dissolving 1mg tablets, just break them into rough thirds. Dissolve under the tongue 15 minutes before sleep.
Many brain affecting substances don't depend on body weight.
I've used an Imak Smartglove w/ Thumb for more than a dozen years. It helps a lot. Also a Kensington Expert Mouse, a keyboard tray, and a Steelcase Leap v2.
Even though I love working on my software, there are still a lot of business things that need to be taken care of. Even some aspects of building the software are not fun (eg, fuck Apple). Ultimately it's a job and even…
If you need the public to help you develop something, it's an indicator you don't have the wisdom to build the right thing. Anyway I don't think that's what Apple is doing. The are just being expensive, exclusive ass…
This is about debloat. I don't want Microsoft's garbage utilities.
