Or potentially for the sake of your health, especially if you spend half an hour on the train every morning handling the printouts:

See http://americancensorship.org/ - they have screenshots of Tumblr's dashboard during the day.

The US authorities can already seize domains under their jurisdiction (as to whether or not the process is legal, I think the jury is still out on that). This includes .com/.net/.org/.us.

Google 'ICE domain seizures'.

Might want to add Tropo [0] under your company specific stuff as well for web/telecoms.

I think the word you're looking for is totalitarianism, not communism.

So I'm not using Opera right now then? Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Perhaps you should consider that even a few percentage point share of the browser market still translates to millions of users. About 50 million on Opera Desktop to be more precise.

If you don't care about them I guess you certainly don't care about the few people using screen readers; or how about Safari which has only roughly double Opera's measly market share?

Although he did specifically call out Ruby on Rails I rather think he meant ActiveRecord the pattern [0] rather than ActiveRecord the implementation [1]. Ruby on Rails' ActiveRecord has come a long way and actually implements proper relational algebra through Arel [2] now.

I switched to Opera for exactly this reason; it's way faster at jumping back and forward between previously rendered pages. As a consequence I open far fewer tabs than I did in Chrome or FF* but I still open a hell of a lot. So speed is definitely a factor, but I still think there's UI issues at play.

* Especially when searching Google or reading HN; I'm more inclined to navigate back and forward between results rather than middle click everything into new tabs

I particularly liked this quote:

Generally, tabs can be seen as a flexible mechanism that is used for a range of tasks none of which they are optimised to cater for.

Although, I'm not sure about their proposed solutions. The history is really lacking in context and could maybe be displayed better as a tree of thumbnails showing you not the order pages were opened but from where they were opened. I think the queue is a great idea but could probably be built into the same tree; just highlight queued and bookmarked pages in some way.

The fact that people do this is a strong indication we're missing something fundamental with the browser UI. I'm not nearly as bad as the guy in the article but I do open ridiculous numbers of tabs at times.

It seems to me that tabs + bookmarks doesn't quite cut it. Perhaps with the exception of pinned apps we need to move away from the idea of 'open' pages entirely and really rethink how navigating the browser's history works.

Totally agree. I'm in a similar situation as the OP, and after the initial despondency found that the existence of a competitor is actually incredibly motivating.

Not only are things moving along faster now I have someone to benchmark myself against, it has really brought into sharp focus the areas I need to concentrate on. I've been able to learn from mistakes that they're making, rather than suffer the cost of making those mistakes myself. Overall the project is absolutely stronger as a consequence.

In fact, I'm probably more excited when they release a new feature than their average customer is.

Just as an FYI, Windows actually supports focus follows mouse with a registry hack [0]. There are a couple of quirks mostly to do with things like tooltips, but I've found it usable.

You sure they're wearing sunglasses for the high contrast and not because of the white background?

I don't agree that it's good reasoning, and indeed most (or all?) early monitors used to be green/amber/white-on-black because it's easier on the eyes.

It's not a common problem I know but I have countless floaters swooshing around in my vision so for me staring at a mostly white screen all day is absolutely horrible and a great way to give myself eye strain.

I do the same on a Netbook with 2G of RAM. It gets a little hairy sometimes so I always need to keep an eye on Process Explorer, but the performance boost is huge.

As far as I'm aware, there's no other method to disable the default Windows behaviour of swapping out programs even when sufficient RAM is available.

It's horribly unreliable in comparison to Gtalk.

How about "circle us" on Google+?

Edit: I did see mentioned on G+ that they would eventually build in support for organisations, so presumably you would add them to one of your circles if you wanted to receive updates.

Interesting that they're adding additional details of the person you're conversing with to the right above the ads. I wonder what that means for Rapportive.

Some apps.

And the glazier who fixed all the broken windows also left his money to good causes.

Like it or not it's still the wild west, and I suspect most people here trust their own ability to protect themselves more than they trust the sheriff who only investigates crimes against the mayor and can't even ride a horse or shoot straight.

He already did:

"Any normal person can brute force millions of SHA-1 hashes (salted however much you want) per second on a GPU."

This is not true of bcrypt.

Has anyone else got a crawling sensation on their skin?

I feel like I must be missing something here; how is the 2/3rds that don't use Mac OS the smaller market?

And as others have pointed out, the market doesn't just consist of GitHub users, or even Git users. In this case, it's developers who use an RCS and need a good desktop application to go with it.

In any case the point may be moot; judging by the rest of the comment you quoted they're not ignoring other platforms at all but rather just using Mac OS as a first step, which I can understand.

He meant bubble as in 'echo-chamber', and in that sense of the word it isn't overused.

It's not outlandish or absurd to design something you might want, but it is a bit silly to ignore a larger market with the same underlying need.

I'd leave it as is or keep it short; intro sequences are pretty tedious especially if you watch several videos one after the other.

The best thing you could do to improve this show is to do more of them, because they rock.

But the swim bladder which makes them neutrally buoyant will give them an "up" and "down" sensation.

And no matter how much caffeine you have, unless you're taking it intravenously, you're spiking and crashing constantly throughout the day.

Ditching caffeine did wonders for me. While I tend to feel a little less "manic" when I'm focused on something, I'm also way more clear headed so I'm certain I'm actually more effective and thus able to reach a much deeper level of concentration.

And don't even get me started on how much better I feel first thing in the morning, or how I can get through a whole week now without headaches, or how my energy levels don't spike and crash like crazy through the day, or how much better my digestive system feels without all that coffee in it... and what all those things do to one's concentration.

It's insidious as well, because you gradually drink more over time; nobody goes from a standing start to 5-8 mugs a day. If they did, they'd feel like hell. So as you seem to acknowledge, after over a decade you're not even making an informed choice any more; there's not been a single moment in all that time that you haven't either been affected by caffeine or it's temporary withdrawal.
