This might not be the place to discuss it, but I can't stand websites messing with my normal scrolling experience. I expect scroll bars to move content along their respective axis, not control animation.

Actually, being able to reverse-engineer and thus also being able to audit the processes and protocols being used is widely regarded to be a good thing, improving overall security standards.

Either set up OpenVPN on one of your Servers, or use SSH Port Forwarding. Either method can afaik be considered pretty secure.

I don't get why a word-processing app (which is mainly what Quip wants to do, if I got that right) would need my email address as a _base_ feature. If collaboration and sharing and social and the like (the last one of which is a huge red flag for me) are an _optional_ feature of a word processor, thats fine. But as a basic requirement for usage? I'd rather not have that.

How your website looks when accessed over my 3G connection:

Annoyingly, all your images are loaded first (and judging from the load times, they're not that small).

I'd probably just go with a Bring-Your-Own-Device strategy.

That still does not make his point completely invalid. "Coding" an App is not exactly rocket science, and as such explicitly linking your age/gender/orientation/other non-relevant feature with such a publication is reminiscent of bragging and quite frankly, I personally find it to be very annoying.

It also renders extremely bad on Opera/Win7x64 (Table Headers totally cut off) and is sluggish to navigate. Looking at the source I got why that is.

Really good idea, but the presentation needs a do-over.

Well, it might have just been too deep a meaning for me - but even if the author is a "noted person", that would not automatically make anything he says/writes/publishes interesting or relevant - at least not to everyone.

But seeing as being relevant to everyone there is is pretty much an impossible feat, I'll just leave it at saying that I just couldn't make much sense out of that article.

I don't think this should be on the front page of Hacker News.

Then again, some other people thought otherwise.

I'm a bit amused that this is on the front page at the same time as Peter Norvigs "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years" [http://norvig.com/21-days.html], with which I agree a whole lot more than the whole "Learn to code" movement.

Well, seems I donated just in time :)

Mad props to the staff, I enjoy using freenode a lot!

A quick CTRL+F didn't find anything, so I might actually be the first to point out that "RAM memory" is a case of the RAS Syndrome :)

A more technical argument: Implementing SSL with name-based VHosts is pretty much impossible, making the use of a dedicated IPv4 or (alternatively) one Port per VHost neccessary.

I usually listen to repetitive music (makes it easy to focus) or just play some TV shows I basically already know by heart (The Simpsons) in the background/on another monitor.

This provides something to look at to distract me for a short time (helps me to get ideas popping back into my mind) and just generally provides some background noise.

For systems consisting of "many" (5+) servers all providing more or less the same functionality, I usually just go with numbering them (s1 .. sN).

For fewer and more specialised machines I'll think of something I like, my private machines are named after the deities of the Cthulhu Mythos (azathoth, cthulhu, shub, hastur, lloygor, nyarlathotep), while some of our Office servers get their names based on dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

In what sense is using absolute pixel values in your CSS better than using percentage of the parent element or em's? Last I checked, it was the other way round.

And don't forget that Opera also has an integrated IRC Client (admittedly, it's not the most pretty one out there, but hey, it's something).

Plus, Dragonfly is nothing short of awesome.

Are you referring to Google's search interface or Google Apps, or any other Google service?

I don't really have any complaints about the search, only thing sometimes bugging me is G+, especially the Android App. Some features just seem to be hidden or only reachable in Ways no User would ever imagine (ie the 'Party Mode' feature, which really is pretty cool, but just so unreachable).

Going through the filesystem and finding supposedly 'deleted' images and videos is in no way 'reverse engineering', as claimed by Mr. Spiegel (although Apple most likely would like you to believe that), it's just a normal Possibility one must account for when creating an App such as Snapchat/Poke.

"[...] those who enjoyed the service the most would not go to such lengths to view videos." - Maybe not the intended users, but with a Smartphone connected to a Malware-Infected PC, possibilities for spreading of those "supposedly deleted" pictures open up.

Maybe not for large-scale web applications, but as webserver for a small blog or as a proxy server, or even just an Icecast Server for some friends, why not?

The GPU would be mostly idle in these cases, as Servers don't usually run a Graphical Interface, which would mean more RAM for the system.

All in all, this might well be an Application the RPI is more suited for than functioning as a media center.

While Apple itself may not have changed radically (yet), it's perception by at least a part of it's customer base sure has by Steve Jobs' departure.

Of course there's the thing that Apple seems to be all about lawsuits now, but that might very well have been the case all along..

*that have iDevices.

You do realize that AntiSec stated they have access to about 12.000.000 UDIDs while leaking only 1.000.001?

Maybe you should note that on your site, so even negative Results don't get too confident in their security

Well, it seems awesomeness is another thing in the eyes of the beholder.
