diamondhead··on Microsoft shoots down Google's Dart
Some people working for Google pointed similar thoughts even before the launch of Dart, too.

Is there any way to flag a photo? I just made a search for a dog type and found an inappropriate photo unfortunately...
diamondhead··on OS.js (JavaScript Operating System)
Cloudo (see beta.cloudo.com) has been providing a huge WebOS environment for a years. A very advanced API, dozens of apps including e-mail, rss reader, games... And a very well designed robust API based on XSLT.

But it's also quite inactive for 2 years. Nobody is interested at running current desktop on cloud. Because current desktop environments suck. They're broken.

diamondhead··on How to work from home without going insane (purple monkey dishwasher)
I highly recommend working at a shared office such as Nextspace. I worked at the SF office of Nextspace for 3 months to improve MultiplayerChess.com. It's quite nice to be in an office with no co-workers or boss.
diamondhead··on Google+ has a new icon.
Where is the down button? I'm sick of these kind of Google+ submissions.
diamondhead··on WikiLeaks is Dead. Now What?
we need something like reverse twitter which is based on information, instead of people and profiles. in other words, something like mixing of wikipedia and twitter. a chaotic platform for information.
diamondhead··on Do a barrel roll - Google Search
Google's new design is completely blocked to the users of non-popular web browsers. As a user of my own fork of a webkit based browser, I only see the old Google since Google thinks that my web browser is not modern.
diamondhead··on Ask HN: Which CLI apps do you use?
Anyway, I'm starting the topic.

CLI apps that I use are tmux (In addition to the previous comments not recommending Screen, I highly recommend Tmux), Emacs, VIM (I use Emacs as an IRC and Twitter client, an IDE and a self-organizer, VIM as a file editor), newsbeuter for RSS and MOCP for music. Finally, My choice of distribution is Arch Linux.

if you would like to see my Emacs configuration, it's in my Github; github.com/azer/emacsfiles

diamondhead··on I swapped my MacBook for an iPad+Linode
I put my throughout development environment on my linode for couple of years and think that it's a good for availability.

As an example, I developed MultiplayerChess.com is on my Linode server. I don't have an IPhone or IPad yet but I see that it's great to access a full utilized development environment from anywhere...

Let's turn this topic to a usesthis.com for CLI lovers.

diamondhead··on Google+ is now available with Google Apps
No way to login with the profile that I had created before Google banned Apps users. I'm still looking at my own profile as an anonymous visitor and only thing I can do is to create a new profile!
diamondhead··on Google+ is now available with Google Apps
"Your Browser is no longer supported.

http://www.google.com/support/plus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p... "

Now, I get this idiotic error since I don't use one of the major web browsers (FF, IE, Chrome, Safari).

I really hate the websites (such as read.amazon.com) that ignores the other webkit based web browsers (uzbl, luakit, surf...) with same capabilities with Chrome and Firefox. (I don't even compare them with IE!)

diamondhead··on "Breaking Bad" and its Philosophical Context - Part 1
Besides of the health issues, Walter was working for a car wash company at the beginning of the first season and his pregnant wife was trying to get financial help from his ex-girlfriend who became millionaire thanks to an old scientific research of Walter White...

First question people ask is, is it ok for Walter White to cook meth for earning what he already deserves? It's the easy part of the question of Breaking Bad.

Walter White started cooking by blackmailing Jessie, one of his old students. (remember another student of him who disrespected and made fun about Walter when he was cleaning a car) From the first episode to the end of 4th season, Walter White has fucked Jessie's life up. He made many manipulations in Jessie's life to have Jessie work for him.

Hard part of the question starts here, is it ok for a teacher suffering from cancer to destroy one of his student's life for earning money?

To me, the answer is absolutely no. But I see that many people who enjoy how Walter White became a tough guy, think Jessie already lives what he deserves as a young punk.

diamondhead··on Chrome Web Store have a new look
I agree. First couple of comments in my app's page are my replies to the users questions. Which look nonsense since the questions are in random order...

diamondhead··on Require.js + Backbone.js = Robust Modular Application Development
The basic reason behind my motivation is that I'm looking for a simple solution developed for the all javascript environments with no commonjs support, not only web browsers. Besides of it, it's better to have same dependencies in both backend and frontend, taking advantage of using NPM. Imagine a test script that should be run by both NodeJS and Internet Explorer 6. What is the current most low-cost way to do it?
diamondhead··on Require.js + Backbone.js = Robust Modular Application Development
That approach may fit the need of a modularity but it doesn't solve the remaining issues. To me, the most important issue is to make both backend and frontend dependencies same.

I haven't documented yet but there is something I'm working on for a while, OneJS. It generates a single, stand-alone JavaScript file, not requiring coder to make any change on a CommonJS code. The built file it generates can be run at any platform that doesn't support CommonJS, such as web browsers. It means that we can use the great dependency mechanism NPM provides in our frontend apps.

For those who wonders, OneJS; https://github.com/azer/onejs

diamondhead··on Guy Kawasaki: What I learned from Steve Jobs
All of these lessons can be learned in any McDonalds store. Just act like you're getting inspiration from Steve Jobs instead of a random guy. The lesson a person with almost 60 years of life experience may not learn is, how does this opportunist self promotion look.
diamondhead··on Guy Kawasaki: What I learned from Steve Jobs
bullshit
diamondhead··on Chrome Remote Desktop extension by Google
thanks, I enabled all services and it now works.
diamondhead··on Chrome Remote Desktop extension by Google
"This service is not available

I can't even view a Chrome extension since I'm a user of Google Apps.

diamondhead··on BrowserStack is out of beta: super-easy multi-browser testing
Sure, I've just send it.
diamondhead··on BrowserStack is out of beta: super-easy multi-browser testing
An API would be great for us since it would let us to run our tests against all web browsers by making some http requests. Wouldn't it be revolutionary?
diamondhead··on The Fans Are All Right
it's your choice. I'd pick the honest one.
diamondhead··on The Fans Are All Right
I would disagree with my tone, too. Sorry for that. But I really can't understand that how possible is it to clone an early version of delicious, try selling it to the people who abandon their delicious account and criticizing the delicious? This is what bullshit means.
diamondhead··on The Fans Are All Right
You pay for the delicious of 2005. No more comment.
diamondhead··on The Fans Are All Right
The real mistake is that the founder of Pinboard does run a wrong business. I'm saying this as a Delicious user who uses it for 6 years and lost some bookmarks during the recent retooling. It's bad for running a bookmark website for several years and keeping emphasizing that "we're unsocial and will not be."

maciej, I hope you'll read this; bookmarking has a bright future because it's social and has the enough potential to replace all search engines.

an unsocial bookmarking service is a real example of waste. to me, people who buys your unsocial archiving bookmarking service are not able to type 6 lines of bash scripts to keep their bookmarks in a plain text file. this is what I will do when avos kills delicious. I'll not pay for just archiving website who thinks I'm an idiot enough to buy a poor clone of delicious of 2005.

How can you be proud of selling a clone of an old version of a popular website? Come on!
