iMiiTH··on Whatever happened to Winamp?
It's much better on macOS, but still the UI quirks are there.

You can drag and drop songs from your library into the queue, but can't when browsing Apple Music. When in the (obvious) WebViews, you have to press those ellipsis buttons as if you're using a touch screen.

iMiiTH··on The Middle Class Can't Afford to Live in Cities Anymore
> Inevitably, by necessity, the solution to this mess will come from all those in the middle class who've been forced to find another way.

Yes, they will be living in condos and apartments. You can have a large detached home, or live in a city. You can't have both.

iMiiTH··on New MacBook Pro outsold every competing laptop in just five days
On top of that, they have the fastest SSDs in a laptop. It's not optimal, but swap is still extremely viable. Also, doesn't macOS have memory compression on top of that?
iMiiTH··on Hello from Orkut
I wish all social networks were like this, it would cut down on bots and spam significantly.
iMiiTH··on Hello from Orkut
A lot of web applications perform really poorly on mobile and apps are made for that nice 'native' feeling. You also don't get push notifications or badges on the home screen. Mobile sites work for news sites and blogs, where you poll for content at your will, but for interactive applications, a mobile application that notifies you of interaction is a must in my opinion.

This article states that they want to bring 2-way all day service... someday.

iMiiTH··on The real responsive design challenge is RSS
It would be fantastic if there was a standard format like you suggested, it would also make the web a whole lot more accessible.
iMiiTH··on Lyft Carpool: A New Way to Commute
Montreal<>Toronto is around $45 on VIA, no? Or are you talking about a round trip?
iMiiTH··on Spotify raises $1B in debt with devilish terms to fight Apple Music
The desktop app is nothing special, just another web-view. Put Amazon or Google Music into Fluid and you have the same functionality minus media key control.
iMiiTH··on The Way of the Gopher: Making the Switch from Node.js to Golang
You can add The New York Times to that list, although they rewrote from PHP, Python, Groovy, Java and C++ so no idea how it'll fit in that list.

iMiiTH··on Trucks Are Killing Us
Why wouldn't something like this be needed in ten years?
iMiiTH··on What Killed Google+ And What Can Save It
It was pretty much all because of this.

It took far too long to get an invitation, and you had to be 18 or older to use it. Facebook exploded first by being used by kids still in Elementary and High School. They initially cut out an absolutely major demographic, and people lost interest after a couple days.

iMiiTH··on What Google would have looked like in the 1960s
I just spent my morning watching that movie, and now I'll probably spend the rest of the day reading the book. Awesome movie, thanks for posting it.
