mraison··on The HTML5 drag and drop disaster (2009)
> Web developers MUST NOT (in the sense of RFC 2119) use HTML 5 drag and drop. They should use old-school scripts instead.

As far as I remember if you do that (i.e. if you use mousedown, mouseover, etc and move your dragged element accordingly), the result won't be nearly as good as with "native" drag and drop, and you will see the dragged element lagging behind the cursor.

mraison··on Introducing a simpler, faster GitHub for Mac
Does someone involved in the project know what is the status of desktop notifications? Last time I checked, it had been removed from the app, which was a deal breaker for me.
mraison··on Stop The JerkTech
> If people are willing to buy reservations, why not just charge more for the food until there is no waiting list?

I don't really like the idea that restaurant owners should be forced to raise their prices just to avoid being screwed by clever startups. What if you just want to keep your prices affordable even though you have a lot of success? I guess you can always ask for an ID and check if it matches the reservation, but I'm not a great fan of that either.

mraison··on Show HN: Share many links? We made it better with highlights
No you're right, that was a bit confusing - it should be fixed now :) Thanks for the feedback!
mraison··on Show HN: Share many links? We made it better with highlights
On http://www.kifi.com you can select a Keep an on the right hand side you'll see a button to "Unkeep". http://bit.ly/1kNnQpg

Also if you are on a page that you want to unkeep, you can click to unkeep from the keeper tile.

You can also unkeep when you are on the page, by clicking on the keeper in the lower right hand corner.

mraison··on UK government's password checker sends plaintext password in the URL over HTTP
It would be even more fun if they also asked for your email address at the same time (for security, you know, to protect against viruses).
mraison··on Write a program that makes 2 + 2 = 5

  var tens = ['10','10','10','10','10','10','10','10'].map(parseInt);
  var ten = tens[tens.length-1];
  var two = ten % 4;
  console.log(two + 2);
mraison··on 800 Years Of Human Sacrifice In Kent
Interesting read, but I too would love to know more about how archeological conclusions are drawn.

For example I may be too picky but I'm always suspicious when I see percentages used for analyzing a sample of 25 individuals. In my opinion

  36% local
  32% southern Norway or Sweden
  20% western Mediterranean
  12% indeterminate
would be better stated as:

  9 local
  8 southern Norway or Sweden
  5 western Mediterranean
  3 indeterminate
mraison··on Why Ada isn't Popular (1998)
Even though Ada is now completely forgotten by most people, it's worth mentioning that the GNAT compiler is being actively maintained by the company AdaCore (which core business, as the name suggests, is about Ada). http://www.adacore.com/
mraison··on Goodbye, IPv4 IANA Starts Allocating Final Address Blocks
I have the feeling that fighting this is about as important as protecting net neutrality. I wouldn't like a world where only those who can afford to buy expensive IPv4 addresses can serve their content without any obstacles, especially when the issue would be completely solved by wider IPv6 adoption.
