It also looks a lot cleaner because it only has 10 links on left side. I've got 30 (a few of them I could probably hide, but lots of them I can't).

2000 mice but 2 million snakes? Am I missing something? Is this just a trial run?

I love how Yoda makes it into the list.

Currently, there is only 5 characters in the HN headline: "[]()+". Maybe a mod removed the "!" because they thought it was being used for emphasis. It could be placed before the "+".

Ah, very interesting. I never even thought about it that way. So maybe the author wasn't trying to be misleading, but just chose their words poorly.

"Then there's this freshmen drop-off, where all but about 80% of women end up changing their major, usually to something involving design or business."

In other words, 20% of women end up changing their major. I'm guessing it was worded this way to trick those that skim read into thinking that 80% of women change their major.

The "they" could be AirBnB employees, but it was probably a reference to hackers breaking in and copying those files from AirBnB servers. The fewer servers that have a scanned copy of your passport, the better.

It's just an April Fools thing, so it will probably only be accessible for the next day or so.

I provided the single digit "1" and they accepted it right away. If they don't care if you provide a valid phone number I don't see why it should be a required field.

Why do I have to provide my phone number to sign up?

The title says Svblte instead of Svbtle.

Anyone else notice the subtle typo in the title of this post? (At the time I am writing this, the title is: The open-source "svblte like" blogging platform).

I've noticed this as well, for blue links. It's really bugging me. Are you aware of a workaround?

Edit: I'm on a Mac, 10.7.5, FWIW

This patent is for side-to-side swinging. IANAL, but if they were doing the traditional forward-backward swinging they should be okay.

He probably exaggerated the responses when he made that transcription. Unless he had an audio recording, it would be an easy thing to do, especially if he was mad.

The code to call super is awkward. Instead of saying super(MyClass, self).foo(), I would rather just say super.foo().

Having to specify self or cls as the first argument of an instance or class method. This one is weird when you are learning Python because you don't pass in the first variable but it gets magically inserted for you.

Creating a class method using a method decorator. Using a decorator to do something like this seems like a hack to me.

Not having a clean way to specify what all the instance variables are outside of the constructor. People with a java background are used to putting instance variable declarations as the first thing inside a class definition. In Python, these will be static variables. This seems weird and inconsistent with the how method declarations work (methods only become class methods when a decorator is used).

BTW, I like Python.

I think you misunderstand how the app works. It closes all apps except those that you have defined in the app group.

I would worry about this too. It seems like you could get bogged down using a tool like this, spending days creating pixel perfect mockups, just to throw out your work later. That might be why Balsamiq is such a popular tool; the mockups look like ass, but they let you iterate quickly without caring about the tiny details.

Lots of puns in there:

- "There's been a lot of buzz online recently"

- "With public excitement about White House beer fermenting such a buzz, we decided we better hop right to it." (3 puns)

- "After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes"

- "this video offers some proof"

November 13th is going to be an interesting day...

Google Finance says the P/E is 100. I don't know enough about this stuff to say whether 62 or 100 is right. Does anyone know which value is right? Where did you find the value 62?

For me it loops between Human and Reason.

It's not just an endless array of divs because then the grid lines would constantly be shifting (that is, unless your browser happens to scroll in increments that are exactly equal to the height of one of the cells).

It's funny how they think it's a problem of educating students about what isn't considered acceptable behavior. The students knew what they were doing, they just compared the probability of getting caught with the reward and made a decision.

At the bottom of the press release: "Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter..."

Nope, just changing their slogan from "Painless Billing" to "Cloud Accounting".

This must be the American way of thinking. Doesn't sound like a good plan to me.

I agree, but I would also say that the title was trying to evoke the traditional meaning.
