rev087··on Shame.css
I don't think it's either indirect or complicated. It's just a file concentrating the FIXME instances that would otherwise be scattered and require a project-wide search.

Simple and elegant imho. That said, I wouldn't use something like that in a project without a build step that merge stylesheets together.

rev087··on Why iOS Devs Should Consider Using Core Data iCloud sync
iA Writer is document-based, and I believe these are working fine in iCloud. Things break when iCloud is used to sync Core Data based apps.
rev087··on State of RSS Readers
Exaclty, I've been a Google Reader "user" for years and I thin I've seen it's actual interface three times at most.
rev087··on Flat UI: Free Web User Interface Kit
I generally agreee with the feeling, but keep in mind that on a regular page, the elements would not be all packed together as in this showcase. I imagine the feel would be substantially different.

Some small usability suggestions for your roadmap:

- When resizing the window, make the left pane width fixed.

- Limit the resizing of the split panel so neither panel ends up with zero width.

- Use the share symbol that mountain lion uses instead of the word share.

- Restore the window dimensions and position after reopening the app.

- Highlight the current story selection in the list.

It's a simple "fix", but this is actually the (silly) default behaviour for Mac apps. After closing the window you can bring it back from the Window menu item > Main Window.
rev087··on Orchestra’s Mailbox app now reservable in the App Store
He probably deploys apps from Xcode to his device. Since his computer can't handle the iOS6-compatible Xcode, he has chosen to not update the device to iOS6.

rev087··on HP introduces new Apple iMac
That's indeed a very, very interesting design. And it looks good to booth. I hope they're not abandoning that idea, this is the kind of innovation that really benefits the consumer.
rev087··on Ask HN: Good iOS Tutorials?
This is my recommendation as well. From the basics of Objective-C (for people already familliar with object oriented programming) to best practices, design patterns and individual components. No other single resource has given me a stronger grasp of all the important concepts of the platform, and I'm still amazed that it's available for free.
rev087··on Microsoft demos muscle-computer interface, air Guitar Hero now a reality
> Wii, Kinnect and Move are all fun for a while but there really aren't many great titles taking advantage of the new controllers

My feeling is that innovative software solutions come a good amount of time after the release of hardware that enables them; gaming consoles just don't keep the hype alive long enough to pick sufficient interest.

> I'm not convinced anything that requires physical sensors on the body is likely to become part of a mainstream UI

Maybe not, but the physical sensors could be attached to a structure resembling a bracelet. Make it wireless and aesthetically pleasing, and I could see myself wearing one without feeling silly.

rev087··on A Bad Privacy Bug
If only other companies would handle issues with this level of transparency...
rev087··on Show HN: Spreadsheets in the browser with Box, Dropbox support
I tried doing something along the lines, using a table, years ago (way before Google Spreadsheet). I remember trying to resize columns was painfully slow at the time; I had to create a ghost "separator" that appeared when resizing lines and columns, and only actually resizes when the user releases the mouse button.

Their use of divs instead of a table might be explained by issues like this.

Of course, this is no excuse for allowing it to break when zooming.

rev087··on Microsoft to make 'major' mystery announcement in LA
I don't use any Microsoft products myself, but Windows Phone 8 seems great, and Kinect is one of the best toys a hacker could dream of. I for one am very excited to hear about big announcements from them.
rev087··on CoffeeScript CSS
I love how removing the necessity for parenthesis and curly braces enable buildind domain specific languages like this or CoffeeKup.
rev087··on 55,000 Twitter passwords leaked
There seem to be a lot of randomly generated account names and passwords, especially in Page 1. For the rest, most of them seem to be from Brazil; just search for .com.br. Brazilian users also use hotmail.com accounts.

rev087··on Nokia Maps 3D (WebGL)
I wonder how photography will be affected by this sort of technology in the not so distant future, as the images and point cloud data increase in definition. For instance, instead of waiting for the perfect weather conditions for the desired picture, the "photographer" could simply manipulate lighting and such, then render the scene in high definition.
rev087··on Namecheap.com: We say no to SOPA
I just own a few domais, but they are all registered at Namecheap, the first since 2006. I too am yet to face a single issue with their service.
rev087··on Celebrating LEO, the world’s first business computer
Watched this during a coding break, so only half of my mind was actually paying attention. At some point, a friendly looking grandma appear and say something like "we had only 2k to work with". My attention shifted imediately, and I said out loud: "Wait...what?", and moved the seek slider back to actually read her name and position.

What a beautiful moment. It is indeed easy to forget the work of the pioneers, and we need indeed to document and spread their stories to the new generations.

rev087··on Modern Web Applications are Here
First time I see this, looks extremely promising. Thanks for the link!
rev087··on Modern Web Applications are Here
I'm mostly on the same page as you, trying to somehow integrate Backbone on the server side. In the end, the mess I was creating became really unmaintainable and I left the project on hold.
rev087··on Modern Web Applications are Here
> With the last three projects I have started (none live, yet) the backend is nothing more than a REST API and the frontend a single HTML page with javascript, javascript, javascript.

You might be doing that already, but the article mentions (if I got that right) that if you GET an arbitrary URL, the server will still serve the whole rendered page - asynchronous loading only happen on any subsequent requests.

This way, you don't "break" URLs, pleasing search engine crawlers and allowing copy/paste of the links, and still delivering a great experience for the user.

I truly believe there is a big demand for a Node.js framework to facilitate this. There are already a few that allows this kind of architecture (to some degree), but none are quite "there" yet.

rev087··on Dandelion Labs
I'm more than willing to trade a portion of the potential income for a whole community interested in my project's success. And since I would also own a fraction of every other project, if my own idea fails down the road I can simply leave it on hold and help the more promissing ones; it reduces risk not only for the investors, but also for the small guys.
rev087··on Dandelion Labs
I am truly excited with the idea, but can people outside the US apply?
