leecGoimik7··on React, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces
Mixing js and xml syntax, variables in docblocks, DOM components that are not really DOM components ("React.DOM components look like browser DOM elements, they differ in a few ways"), undocumented/obscure OO features (React.createClass?). Yikes. Thank you, but no, thank you.
leecGoimik7··on Marissa Mayer breaks her silence on Yahoo's telecommuting policy
It's quite simple: school ends at 3pm. Somebody needs to pick up the kid. After that my 6 yo is perfectly capable of entertaining herself for few hours while I continue my work. And why would you assume minimal commute? For me that's 2.5 h a day, and that's not a lot by NYC metro area standards.
leecGoimik7··on Google now requires Google+ to rate and review Android apps
Sorry, I somehow missed it. Now I get this crap when I try to rate apps and this makes me very sad. If Google wants to spend their resources on Google+ - something I'm not interested in - that's their business, but pushing it down everybody's throat like that...
leecGoimik7··on Microsoft mocks Internet Explorer haters in new ad [video]
wishful thinking, MS... nobody gives a damn about your browser anymore
leecGoimik7··on Ask HN: What would it take for IE not to be hated?
die?

Doesn't work in Opera 12.
leecGoimik7··on Dear Netflix: You're doing it wrong
I admit it was a bit difficult to focus after first paragraph which I interpreted as the premise of the whole post and which I consider to be wrong. I read again. No, author is not really on my side: he just says Netflix needs to take a different approach. I say they need "no approach": focus on making content available, more of it and in more ways, on more devices and platforms. At least that's what I pay them for, not for sharing options.
leecGoimik7··on Dear Netflix: You're doing it wrong
Dear author of the blog post: you are wrong. Watching is a deeply personal experience and sharing it is the last thing I think about when I go to Netflix. And most people on Facebook/whatever social network are not really your friends. And there is no shortage of ways to communicate with _real_ friends should I want to discuss a movie with them. So let Netflix focus on their core functionality instead of this social nonsense.
leecGoimik7··on What hardware do Full-time Linux users use?
Me too (with Nvidia, never had an ATI card). I had Thinkpad T510 with Nvidia and used it with two monitors plugged into docking station. Nvidia's proprietary driver is absolutely horrible when it comes to switching between laptop screen and monitors when docking/undocking. Open source driver for nvidia is marginally better in this regard, but is incomplete and unstable and not really an option. Now I have T520 with Intel graphics, and it works very well.
leecGoimik7··on PyPedia: a Python IDE and method repository in a wiki
You clearly know nothing about Wikimedia if you think it "works".
leecGoimik7··on PyPedia: a Python IDE and method repository in a wiki
reStructeredText has been adopted by Python community as a de-facto standard for writing docs, it's simple, clean and extensible.
leecGoimik7··on PyPedia: a Python IDE and method repository in a wiki
Powered by Wikimedia (PHP): this just feels wrong. Not to mentioned that Wikimedia is pretty crappy system. It's markup and templates are horrible.
