All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. It might not actually be my first choice, but this one of the few on my short list that no one else has mentioned. I read it in my mid teens (not too long after we…
Hehe, exactly. "We had yuge crowds! The biggest crowds! At least when compared to Bush..."
My thoughts exactly. I laughed out loud a couple of times at the hysteria permeating this article.
It took me ages to get used to the old new design (that dropped the tabs on top). Glad they're switching back... definitely a more intuitive structure for me.
Did you read it? A large section of the review was complaining about bugs and software shortcomings. That's not being a very good "fanboy".
Funny, before I read the article I thought that "on accident" must be some British English bastardization since it sounds so weird to my American ears. But I was born in the late 70's and haven't lived in the US since…
They probably don't care about that content. My first guess would be that they snapshot the DOM in the JS tick immediately after window.onload completes. Maybe they have a short pause to let any fast timeouts or…
Panic is actually more well known as a company that makes Mac apps. Many would call them the preeminent developers for the Mac platform (along with Omni). So think of it like this... A hugely popular (for its market),…
My first thoughts as well when scanning the homepage.
That is a nice competitive advantage over Flask, but Bottle has no dependencies whatsoever. And besides a slight performance advantage over Bottle, I don't see any significant reason for me to switch to Falcon.
Funnily enough I was just today checking out Transit[1] for a project I'm working on. Has anyone gone through the process of picking Velocity vs. Transit? What made you pick one or the other? [1]:…
Thanks! It was hard to get the point of how cool this is from the animation/description in the Wikipedia article.
My German apartment has drafty, unsealed wooden window frames, and the window in the kitchen is a single large sheet of glass. We have to hang a rug over that window in the winter, as it feels like you've left a freezer…
That's a great point. It's fascinating to think where he would have ended up after 20 or 40 more years of study and contemplation.
Nice job! Just missing a Facebook icon for my Facebook SSB.
When I'm in a place where these folks will follow you around, I turn as robotic as possible and answer once (or maybe twice to make things perfectly clear) with a simple "no". I try to leave no room for interpreting…
It wasn't quite that bad... I could cancel for any reason, but only up to something like a month before the next billing cycle. I of course realized this around 2 weeks before the next billing cycle, so I would have…
Nice idea, so long as you're in the US where you don't really have an 'official' location... I tried to do this once in Berlin to cancel a gym membership outside of the contractual limits. They required showing an…
This has nothing to do with the actual product, which may be great, but... I am so ready for the trend of hyper-animated websites to start dying down. I scrolled through the whole website, and while it looked great, by…
Ugh, I hear you. I had to disable iMessage on my girlfriend's iPad because it kept 'stealing' every SMS I tried to send her.
More likely a Rocky reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_distance_(boxing) ;-)
That was another patient, not the main focus of the article: > Another Canadian patient, Steven Graham, was able to demonstrate that he had laid down new memories since his brain injury.
I really like the simplicity and the 'guaranteed to self destruct' feature. But... converting PNGs to JPGs makes it unusable for many many use cases.
Yeah, on my rMBP the timeline examples look fine, but the graph examples are distractingly blurry. I look forward to a day when all of these high PPI growing pains are behind us.
Agreed. Or at least a description of what technologies are used (e.g. Canvas, SVG, VML, etc).
