Mailto links open chrome with a gmail tab for me.

Exactly, in so many simple situations I press a key and there's a > 200ms delay. It gets tiring very fast and I want instant responsiveness on most actions. Sublime delivers.

Example: selecting and writing with multiple cursors.

FWIW for Berlin, Apple Maps draws the transport lines and stations far better and nicer. Google draws the lines very imprecisely and doesn't show you tram lines, for example.

Google maps was always very buggy for me on Android, but fine on iOS.

Hangouts is bad. Very slow and bloated everywhere. On mobile it only syncs notifications at random. Audio and video quality is total crap, and even with this new web beta thing where it's supposed to be better, it's still much worse than skype.

The most incredible thing, and I am ashamed of typing this but whatever, is that I've actually felt an improvement in my life after turning off hangouts in gmail. WTF.

That is built in uBlock Origin.

The thumbnails are 1920×700px in case you use a 20K monitor.

I've noticed this yesterday in a flight just before landing and I found it funny how the airplane was following the roads each for a few seconds before snapping of.

I also confirm it snaps on both google maps and apple maps with airplane mode turned on, most probably due to caching.

I've also found it amazing that the iPhone 6S held the cache of a map 3000km away after 3 days abroad, with intermittent wifi and lots of google maps and safari use.

Looking at the screenshot, the background isn't blurred so it's not translucent.

It has transparency, or it is semi-transparent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

(you are right about win7 having translucid windows)

I've seen escalators that at night stop (like go to sleep) if nobody is walking and start (wake up) when someone walks towards them.

On a 500 line file when I start adding multiple cursors, after the 5th or so It starts taking multiple seconds just to select the next. This was in December, so a recent version. I can't work like this.

It runs badly on my 8gb 2013 MacBook Air, on a medium sized php+javascript project.

I've been trying Atom every 3 months since it came out. Just a few plugins and Linting and is still very slow and I hate lag while typing.

I don't have this problem with Sublime, for example, where typing is instant. Even eclipse and Android studio are more responsive when typing.

If you write apps for their ecosystem, you've been fucked real, but real hard at least 6 times in the last 6 years. From unkept promises to everchanging rules, terms and api.

I also dislike the FAB. I already wrote about it in a previous comment, here's my major problem:

It is still the last place I look on the screen to perform an action. I look at the top first, then I check the hamburger menu and only then I realize it was BENEATH MY THUMB all along. I hold the phone with my right hand and my thumb naturally covers the FAB area.

Regarding "think of the children", there's a reason casinos have minimum age requirements. Gambling is an addiction and many of these games exploit the same principle that makes us addicted. At an early age it can mess you up for good.

So that's why Twitter web views have ads even with content blockers enabled?

What's holding Twitter back? They've had updates recently.

How is it racist to call out the inhumane things ISIS is doing?

The man likes to stir shit but he's no racist.

Was it the same as the F4 (edit) in norton commander?

The positioning of the FAB or "Floating Action Button" on top of the content, makes sense when you think about it but in practice I find it frustrating:

- Because the way I hold the phone, most of the time my thumb is covering it and I don't see it.

- Because it is supposed to be the "main" action, it makes all other actions move around. Example: on Google Photos, the FAB is search. on Gmail the FAB is "create" and search is at the top.

- It is still the last place I look on the screen to perform an action. I look at the top first, then I look in the hamburger menu and only then I realize it was beneath my thumb. Fuck

I'm not convinced. I don't think google is convinced either because they keep shuffling it around from update to update, from app to app like they don't know what to do with it.

I played the hell out of freeciv between 2003 and 2005 and even at the time there were different tilesets or skins to choose from.

there are no gates

Both our comments are in the heat of the moment. Now I regret replying.

Don't fear, we'll get through it. But There is real slavery going on in the emirates and qatar right now if you want to get mad.

Big regression in accessibility, copy/paste, automatic translation, everything that makes the web uniquely great.

Every time I see a comment starting with "Thank you." here, and specially on Reddit, I read it as "I now feel better because what you wrote aligns with my views, and that somehow makes them valid".

It doesn't make them valid.

I've also read the article and it's more than about just the email or the racism: it's also about how giving up to bullies and censorship leads to abuse and injustice.

I remember following the game with optimism until FPS combat was announced.

I expressed my fears of feature creep an a massive increase in development time on forums and was dismissed by fans as "it's just a small detail" and "the underlying engine supports it".

It's naive to think adding seamless fps to a game of this scale wouldn't massively increase complexity. And if it's just a small detail perhaps it isn't worth it.

As for the backers I see lots of Post-purchase rationalization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-purchase_rationalizatio...

It's clear people are using software architect due to the prestige the name brings.

Also stop calling yourselves architects. Job searching has become even harder.

If they want to frame you they don't need hidden iframes and stuff. They can just manufacture it. Because it's all secret/confidential, someone who has a friend or pays someone inside can incriminate someone and make his life a hell.

We were warned of PIDE in school for a good reason (PIDE was the Portuguese Stasi). People will abuse it.
