hadem··on Twitter Bootstrap without all the debt
I see the point, but isn't this only moving the "debt" to another area? Instead of your markup being littered with Bootstrap classes, now your Less files are.
hadem··on Stop Freelancing
Looks like you forgot your link. Mind updating your comment?
hadem··on We Work Remotely – New Job Board from 37 Signals
Didn't you just contradict yourself?

"True remote work in..."

When I think of "true remote work" I think of a job where location does not matter.

hadem··on Landscape: Hosted continuous Python code metrics
Does anyone know of any similar tools for a PHP code base?
hadem··on Lavabit's Dark Mail Initiative
What is keeping this service from getting shut down as well?
hadem··on Here's how I deal with users who steal
I'm curious how you define "bogus" referrals.

New accounts with no activity?

A non-activated account?

Accounts created from temporary email providers (ie: Mailinaotr)?

hadem··on Show HN: A Github for writers?
Couldn't developers use the browser's local database for auto-saving? Or save drafts back to the server every so often via Ajax calls?
hadem··on Off
"We know that effectively nobody browses the web on their Android tablets full of stretched-out phone apps."

Really? I use my Android tablet all the time and love it. So much so, I'm switching from an iPhone to and Android phone. In turn, this also makes using a Mac computer far less important for me.

hadem··on A Python-Powered Budget Spreadsheet
Every screenshot is blurred. Could fake data not have been used for demonstration purposes?
hadem··on iPad Air
I've wondered this for years as well. I would much rather see improvements in other areas then constant boasts about "thinnest" XYZ product.
hadem··on How to Tango with Django: A Python Django Tutorial
Would you have the same suggestion for seasoned web developers in other languages, but who are still new to Python?

I'm curious as I'm really looking to learn Python and was looking at Django for the web side of things.

hadem··on High-res Nexus 5 official Press shot
I wish Verizon and Google could get along...
hadem··on See Your Folks
This was very depressing.
hadem··on Will Keyboards Become Obsolete As PCs Decline?
Try typing a paper, thesis, book, etc. on a touch screen...
hadem··on Stay away from Digital Ocean
I have been thinking about using Digital Ocean (moving from Linode) but I have heard a few stories like this that really make me second guess that decision.
hadem··on Poll: What are your liked and disliked programming languages?
I agree with you. Working with Symfony2 has dramatically changed how I work with PHP for the better. I know one of the major complaints people have with PHP is that developers often write poor code but it really doesn't have to be that way.
hadem··on SteamOS
Isn't part of the reason there are not a lot of developers working with Linux because there isn't near as big of a demand from the Linux community? This, if it becomes a popular option, it would/could increase that demand.
hadem··on Automatically Add Loading Bars to Your Website
Those interested might also be interested in a previous discussion on a similar progress bar.

hadem··on Lifting the lid on the iOS 7 UIPicker
I used this UI for the first time the other day and actually liked it a lot. I found it quick and easy to get the time I needed to specify.
hadem··on Go Pro on a soaring eagle [video]
I agree. I was really hoping to see the eagle land but it looks like the video cut just short of that moment.
hadem··on iOS 7 before and after screenshots
I can't be the only person to think that iOS 7 does not look good. Right? A lot of the "after" screenshots do not look any better. I'd say some of the after screenshots look worse!
hadem··on Rich Hickey's Greatest Hits
Is your spreadsheet of talks publicly available?
hadem··on No more CSS and HTML, just JS
I agree with this. I didn't mean to make it sound as if HTML and CSS were perfect. There is always room for improvements. For example, with CSS you now have the option to use LessCSS or SASS.
hadem··on 30,000 Particles, 60 FPS
Thanks for the explanation!
hadem··on 30,000 Particles, 60 FPS
I'm curious why the particles don't return their their exact original location.
hadem··on No more CSS and HTML, just JS
This feels like it is trying to reinvent the wheel. Is there something wrong with using HTML and CSS?
hadem··on 5 Months After Switching to Colemak
I do the same thing with Vim short cuts, think about their "meanings". I found it helped a lot!

I'm curious about h, j, k, and l. Same story?

hadem··on Apple Unveils The iPhone 5S
Right but his also assumes that you have physical access to the device! That, and a finger printing kit and time to spare...
hadem··on Rambling On [PHP] Internals
So what you are saying is that unless you can write good code from day one you shouldn't attempt to use a language, regardless of language?

The code I'd write in say, Clojure day one would be terrible when compared to the code I'd write a year or two later. Does that mean I shouldn't learn and use it?

hadem··on Rambling On [PHP] Internals
No, you are not wasting your time. You will read people complain about PHP but in the end, it provides me with a great job that pays the bills and then some! When used properly, it doesn't have to be a bad language and can be fun. That, and if you are just starting to get into web development, it is a great place to start. You can always branch out into other web technologies down the road. Have fun and keep learning :-)
