EToSon Don't wait for "DOM ready" for your app to start

"never wait for "DOM Ready" for an application to startup"

We've linked page load times directly to lower sales funnel drop outs, I would warn against this for some people, as you will be blocking/delaying rendering of the DOM for code that is ultimately not impacting the UI

EToSon Designing GitHub for Windows

I really like the native development approach for UI, too often the design of ported apps feel like an after thought, unless your on the OS it was originally developed on

EToSon This Is 2016 Not 2012

Most multi-skilled people i know (and i include myself) would not be happy dedicating their time and talents to a single thing. Although its not a technical limitation, i would say the reasoning makes sense to me.

EToSon Banned from Kickstarter for Being a Stalking Victim

Only backers can post comments to kickstarter. So in theory the stalker is now traceable by their kickstarter payment if reported to the police.

EToSon Github is making me feel stupid(er)

I agree, i was thinking possibly two views could be used.. A repository front-page with readmes, download and forking etc (possibly some social side) and then break away a second page with more of a control panel feel for viewing branch diagrams, commits, diffs etc

EToSon Official PHP site will have a new design

actually most of the world is blue

EToSon Official PHP site will have a new design

Yeh green be the least compatible colour in existence

EToSon Official PHP site will have a new design

I really like the new design, but as a PHP developer now using Python... the boat has sailed on making the language better, and more appealing with better designed sites.

EToSon Apple design chief Jonathan Ive awarded knighthood

Governments (decent ones at least) should be elected representatives of the people, surely that makes them the best body to supply honors? I personally wish the Queen would have total control in this area though in the UK, as she is technically still the head of state.

'merit' as a concept doesnt have to be in opposition to any of the qualities mentioned, i dont believe democracy is about abolishing hierarchy, as much as it is offering equal opportunity into it.

Ironically im more worried by Apple, which can manipulate customers left, right and center to make an extra buck: - Overpriced hardware - inconsistent pricing of products internationally - making deals with telecoms companies locking iphone users to certain providers - non-open platforms such as OSX and iOS - taking the free out of freebsd

They are walking a close line themselves in promoting the anti-democratization of technology

EToSon $87 M. News Corp. Backed Startup Shuts Down Before Launch

Aeron chairs!

EToSon Apple design chief Jonathan Ive awarded knighthood

The post was about honouring and giving recognition to a talented designer and craftsman. I personally dont see how appending anti-governmental sentiments to a thread like this are helpful.

Whilst we're on the subject, gaining legitimacy through association has always been human social trait rather than one limited to governments, its a lot more prevalent than i fear anyone likes to admit.

Troll much?

EToSon Ask HN: Client wrote returned check for over $10,000. How to report him?

I'd definitely take the work down if it hasnt already.. and if legal action is your next step, use every opportunity to document this relationship (follow all emails up with recorded mail that he has to sign for etc)

EToSon Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (May 2011)

If i didnt live in the UK, i'd be chaining myself to your doors to work there! Really fascinated with the culture you guys have created!

EToSon Workers Leaving the Googleplex

Security in large corporations are often very tight fisted.. If you forget your access card where i work, even if the security personnel know you, they have to walk you up to your desk like a lost child! until some manager 'claims' you

In this particular case i feel for this guy, but all security are going to see is a temp contractor who's making videos of google employees, and asking strange questions to interview them.. Their probably thinking either an undercover journalist (very likely at a company like google) or somebody who's just acting weird and would need future monitoring.. neither of which are really desirable!

not to mention during lunch breaks any normal employee would have one thing on their mind.. stuffing their face!
