And I'm sick of iPhone users ...
dgesang··on IntelliJ IDEA 13 is Released
The sentence about Eclipse was merely a side note and not related to the question about ReSharper. Sorry if that was not clear enough. :) I know that ReSharper does a lot of magic that is lacking in Eclipse, unfortunately.
dgesang··on Tesla cleared in German probe
Horrible website. It took me 1 minute to figure out all the Script- & CDN-domains to load the site properly and watch the actual content.
dgesang··on IntelliJ IDEA 13 is Released
Is ReSharper still as slow as it used to be 5 years ago (VS2008)?

Eclipse does a lot of "mind-reading", too.

Didn't Lee pirate those graphics in the first place?
dgesang··on Poll: HTML 5 or Native mobile development ?
Neither, but Air.
dgesang··on Ask HN: Is it just me or has YouTube gone fanatical on ads?
Agreed, "Adblock Edge" is the way to go. Original "Adbock Plus" gets money from Google to not filter their ads:

    Google has tried to fight back against Adblock, partly by paying Adblock to whitelist some of their ads. 
    Google’s business model is all about ads but as awareness of Adblock grows it’s increasingly difficult to get ads in front of online users.

dgesang··on Started a stupid company. Failed.
So, is a good or bad sign that he's just deleted his post?
dgesang··on Mercurial developer responds to "Switch to git?"
So, why do named branches suck? We use both, named branches and bookmarks, but for different things and it works great.

I've switched back to manually select the websites that are allowed to use cookies. It's actually little effort and it feels good.
dgesang··on Complete, Persistent Compromise of Netgear Wireless Routers
It does make a lot of sense, actually, as you need to remember only one master key instead of multiple login-password combinations.
dgesang··on Complete, Persistent Compromise of Netgear Wireless Routers
Anyone noticed the smiley? Still, not protecting user passwords with a master-key makes it way too easy to read them. B2T now.
dgesang··on Complete, Persistent Compromise of Netgear Wireless Routers
Even major browsers store/show passwords in clear text, can it be that wrong? ;)

dgesang··on The myth of NASA's expensive space pens
> plaster nationalist labels all over it and employ nationalist propaganda.

That's what you did. He just said '100%-USA product'.

> Those are just weak excuses for nationalism.

How so? Nationalism and producing a product within in a certain region/state/country is not the same, no matter how much you want it to be.

> Also, more often than not anti-globalization is just disguised nationalism.

Not where I live (Germany).

> Yes, globalization has serious downsides – but only because it happens with nations still existing.

No, there are many versatile reasons why globalization has downsides (and upsides), I'm sure you can come up with one or two more if you just wanted to. But it seems that all you care about is nationalism.

I was with you until ...

> while smokers (or meth addicts, or gamblers, or other sorts of compulsive behavior) are almost the worst thing in the world after the Third Reich.

which is just complete BS. There are way worse things in the world happening than that - every minute! (No, I don't smoke, gamble, do drugs or alike)

Taking it too seriously isn't very 'adult' either.

I didn't know about that incident. Thanks for pointing it out. Here are some references:

Someone should probably also point out: most of the CAs are more or less equally 'crappy'. We've been through many CAs now and none of them has a process anywhere near 'perfect'.

Btw, Comodo customer support is rather nice. We recently bought a code signing certificate from them and they walked us through the whole process via chat, worked quite well and we were done in about 30 min.

Stopped reading there ...

dgesang··on Why two spaces after a period isn’t wrong – lies typographers tell about history
The whole discussion is pointless because as soon as you start thinking in spaces, linebreaks and tabs to generate whitespace between objects you're doing it wrong! Change the font, size, weight, line height, etc. and your layout is gone.

Just use LaTeX. Problem solved.
