ch8230··on Sublime Text 3.0
I'd guess most editors do. Have you found an editor that doesn't?
ch8230··on Underground Hansa Market taken over and shut down
Seems fair to lump in with the rest since it was in fact an illegal market place.
ch8230··on Stockfish – Strong Open-Source Chess Engine
Here's a very simple web client I wrote if you want to give Stockfish a whirl: https://chessui.com/

Shameless plug I know but I'm posting it for those who want to give it a shot against stockfish.

ch8230··on Scientists pave the way for large-scale storage at the atomic level
Agreed. It doesn't sound like any practical application is ready with this approach.
ch8230··on Model 3 Unveiling [video]
EDIT:

The link was only a preview. It links back to their site now. Kinda defeats the purpose of using Periscope.

ch8230··on Model 3 Unveiling [video]
They have a periscope link open https://www.periscope.tv/TeslaMotors/1ynJOXkmWdZxR
ch8230··on Hey Apple, a Five-Year-Old Computer Isn’t ‘Sad’
Schiller's comments are out of touch with the reality many people face but the author took the Schiller's comments way too personally.
ch8230··on Exotic four-neutron no-proton particle confirmed
Agreed. Until they eliminate other possibilities then it is not confirmed.
ch8230··on Uber's Design Meltdown
the fact that it took you a few seconds to look for the icon is evidence of re-design failure
ch8230··on Uber's Design Meltdown
Its a meltdown of brand identity that occurred during the redesign.
ch8230··on How Elon Musk Stole My Car
They are experiencing reliability issues which is why Consumer reports said they cannot recommend the Tesla Model S. http://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla-reliability-doesnt...
ch8230··on A Beginner's Guide to Scaling to 11M+ Users on Amazon's AWS
Agreed on Lambda latency costs. I've used it to process API calls and I noticed it can add almost half a sec to the response or sometimes even longer.
ch8230··on Turkey Shoots Down Russian Warplane Near Syrian Border
According to the article NATO is holding an emergency meeting in brussels so I wouldn't say this is a story hyped up by social media. It's a sign that things are getting very messy and have major potential for escalation.
ch8230··on iOS at Facebook [pdf]
Eventually you just hear "New version of our app rewritten from the ground up" when it all becomes one big pile of technical debt.
ch8230··on iOS at Facebook [pdf]
What keywords do you think the interviewer was looking for? Was it along the lines of "disruptive", "game-changing", "innovative", etc.?
ch8230··on Tron-Club, a monthly circuit-building kit
I agree - I kept looking around the page for more details. The landing page seems too basic to sell me on a subscription.
ch8230··on Graph of Foursquare's Popularity After Removing Check-Ins
There's a documentary being made about Yelp's strong arming: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1299637435/billion-doll...

I heard a business owner complained that yelp was showing mostly bad reviews after he refused to pay. So that's only anecdotal evidence but there seems to be more of it out there.

ch8230··on Apple – OS X – Photos
Flickr gives you 1TB of photo storage free but their app has been lacking the seamless integration with the OS and apps that Apple is promising.
ch8230··on The day I was DoSed by Google
But don't you think the bot has already stopped crawling the site due to it being unavailable? That's probably gonna hurt too.
ch8230··on A redesign of the Django websites
It looks nice! I do agree with others who are saying that a page with docs shouldn't have this much white space as it makes it harder to read.
ch8230··on Korean Fan Death
'what else have we been convinced to give up without getting anything in return?' My time to read this article for one.
ch8230··on Mobile Last?
thanks for clarifying that does open up the need for responsiveness.
ch8230··on Mobile Last?
Why was 'mobile last' a takeaway from a hackathon? Most dev's probably focused their efforts on the breakpoint they would demo. It is possible that are indeed doing 'mobile last' but I wouldn't conclude that from a survey of hackathon projects.
ch8230··on Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
I'm a casual user and still use it.
ch8230··on Amazon Fire Phone is now 99¢ with a 2-year contract
still not worth it
ch8230··on Yahoo stopping all new development of YUI
They had to reference some usage metrics - maybe that was the least painful to acknowledge?
ch8230··on Microsoft Looks to Cut Up to 18,000 Jobs
You can't say that the "CEO babble" isn't real and that its natural to associate it with business types.
ch8230··on How every smartphone platform gets the alarm clock wrong
You don't need consensus or lots of data to say that you don't like the user experience for an app.
ch8230··on Aesop: A WordPress Storytelling Engine
Its a post beautifier. - not sure where the storytelling engine aspect of it comes in to play.
ch8230··on Google Keep – Save what’s on your mind
Keep your stuff at Google - until their next spring cleaning!
