That's not true at all. Maybe for the given shape of the pixels on these displays, but as a general statement, this is false. If you have red, green, and blue subpixels that have exactly a 3:1 height…

I inspected the 3rd gen iPad image, trying to figure out roughly how much gap there is between rows, because it looks unexpectedly large. It looks like the pixel-to-gap ratio is about 9:5. This would…

While I would never advocate developers not thinking for themselves, I think it's shallow to say that seeking out and following best practices is an excuse to not think. In fact, some languages, like …

It looks like this is an oversimplification. The graphics and text are doing stuff independently of each other -- this illustrates that the graphics and text are moving together, and they're not. I w…

The problem with this logic, IMO, is that they are still ignoring that, in spite of consumers wanting a single device that supports multiple interfaces, they're still trying to cram two very different…

Not sure what you're arguing. I was using Adsense as an example of a toxic product from Google.

While I agree that DDG should keep it simple, two of the three Google examples you've given -- Gmail and Maps -- are products I rely heavily on, and am glad Google decided to branch out for those two …

> ...to mentally active (reading), to mentally passive (videogames, movies) I'm sorry, since when did playing video games become "mentally passive"? (I say that somewhat half-jokingly.) While read…

After seeing a few blogs like this, I was starting to get the general impression that C# and .NET were dying out. However, according to the TIOBE Index [1], C# was actually second in growth in 2011, j…

I still have mine for the purpose of marketing my site, but I have removed almost all of my friends, and have moved my "social" interactions to G+.

I do profit, by your definition, but I'm only able to because of the ads. Donations alone currently do not cover the expenses.

The revenue from ads and donations go into one pot, and that is used to fund the hosting and other costs. But if the question is whether the donations themselves would cover all expenses and thus yiel…

Thanks for the link. That actually raises several good points I'd not thought about. For example, if I start paying them, would not only their expectations change, but would mine? Would I start feel…

Well, it's mostly that I'm uneducated and inexperienced with this, and am looking to a more experienced group (HN community) to provide their thoughts and experiences. I think your conscience is a gre…

I've actually thought of a few things, but my inexperience in dealing w/ legalities involved with this have prohibited me. For example, I've thought several times about giveaways and contests, where a…

To me, what makes it HN worthy is the band playing synchronously with a live speed run through the game, shown on the screen in the background. Not sure that I've seen that done before, which makes i…

I think it's going to just be a matter of "reconditioning". When you move from one UI to another, you tend to carry over habits from the other. But as you use the tool more, you'll become conditione…

My post wasn't a direct response to your article, but rather thebandrews' point about preparing for interviews. And I'm not saying you shouldn't prepare for interviews. I'm just saying that companies…
