Throw an answer on the original thread. I'd love to hear your take. Sounds like you've got some more context to paint a clearer picture.

kevinSuttleon For modern development, Javascript is just something you need to learn

Regardless of technical quirks, if you don't know JS, you can't work on the web. Period.

kevinSuttleon Ask HN: I'm a chronic procrastinator – how do I break it?

Thank you for posting this. There a lot of misconceptions about the disorder, and more people need to be re-educated so the stigma is removed.

kevinSuttleon Petition to Pardon Edward Snowden

A pardon implies that someone broke the law. This isn't the case here.

I love how the @Verizon and @VerizonWireless Twitter accounts are happily tweeting along promotions like nothing has happened. Also, the early termination fees are going to be laughed right into a class action suit after this little mishap.

I'd love to see this site get more activity and exposure. (I'm not affiliated with it in any way).

kevinSuttleon Ask HN: How do you test web UI/JavaScript?

Zombie.js on Node is a good option. A book has been written about it at PacktPub.

Front-end Performance: both actual and user-perceived. Cacheability: How well dynamic and static assets cache, and are retrieved from cache. This also has an effect on performance.

The test is about download performance and cacheability, though Apple's Network Link Conditioner is useful.

kevinSuttleon An Appeal to Google: Make ".io" a gccTLD

"This is a hack, and I don't like it."

You are on Hacker News. :)

kevinSuttleon Here is today

Is it odd that I don't see the point of this? Don't get me wrong, this is skillfully crafted, and kudos to the developer, but I'm missing the 'why?'.

kevinSuttleon Poll: Best RSS reader

Netvibes was down most of last night, and got a message this morning to bear with them as they've gotten a huge flux of new users. Great to see.

kevinSuttleon Google Reader shutting down

I have never gotten the appeal of Google Reader. I've been using Netvibes for several years and have yet to find anything better. You'll be glad you did.

kevinSuttleon Ask HN: Webdevs, designers: what devtools should we (Mozilla) build in Firefox?

Something like this, but for all (standard) source files, not just JS.

kevinSuttleon Ask HN: Webdevs, designers: what devtools should we (Mozilla) build in Firefox?

Also, I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but I remember not being able to access or do something with local files. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

kevinSuttleon Ask HN: Webdevs, designers: what devtools should we (Mozilla) build in Firefox?

I would love to see something akin to YSlow's Statistics tab. http://d.pr/i/QC0g

I also support the idea of not competing with Firebug, and possibly absorbing it into the Firefox project. It seems wasteful to have developer resources tied to both in parallel.

To the existing dev tools in Firefox: - The UI layout could be improved quite a bit, expanding by default and taking up less screen real estate. e.g. the CSS panel could be part of the source view, like most devtools UI. Lots of space on the right side going unused in that panel anyway. - devtools.inspector.htmlHeight needs to at least be doubled - everything under devtools.inspector. needs to default to true (I realize this is contradictory to my earlier statement about real estate - Is the 3D view really needed? Seems like this could be an add-on also. - Picky one: I would prefer the toolbar/breadcrumbs to be on the top of the panel. Makes it easier to distinguish on a page that looks similar.

I do really like the :hover :active toggles, and the markup viewer mode though. :)

kevinSuttleon Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?

I can't believe no one has mentioned XMarks.com I've used them for years. Can't imagine using anything else.

I keep a minimal amount of bookmarks, only ones I visit daily.

For archiving, I use Kippt.
