Careful with this one, the content is controversial and considered unscientific: https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/

I wonder if that's a potential security issue waiting to happen.

+1 for Qbserve. Works very well and produces lots of useful data for your perusal.

Oh really? Source, please?

For a Twitter client, Fenix (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.mvilla.andr...) is beautiful and fast, and doesn't make me miss Tweetbot when I'm not using my computer.

That's a little more than 2.5 lakhs a month. There is no part of India where you can't live comfortably in that much money.

Bear in mind that living in Mumbai doesn't mean living in Pali Hill. The suburbs are significantly cheaper.

Will be there!

I don't see the point of submitting this to HN. It isn't a review of all high-end device displays, or something else generic like that.

Nothing here that isn't already present in the Android SDK documentation. Why was this post submitted?

Yes, because the Android emulator is actually an emulator. The iOS "emulator" is a simulator. It doesn't emulate the ARM instructions or run an actual OS instance. The Android emulator does.

Of course, the best option is to connect your Android device and test/debug on the device itself.

(PS: Hey Nag, ltns :))

As much as the prospect of Webkit in my terminal makes me uncomfortable, I think this is amazing. The terminal is probably my most used application and any effort towards making it better is awesome.

(P.S. - Apart from this, unconed has also been a prolific Drupal contributor and done some amazing visualization work for Winamp. Awesome hacker.)

Also, an obituary to Drupal CVS by Larry "Crell" Garfield: http://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/cvs-obituary

Yes, rather careless with my words there. Updated that and some other words too. Damn, I should write 10x more.

I strongly believe that desktop Linux is just waiting for a paid, commercially supported variant that comes with limited, supported hardware options.

That is, like Apple. Vertical integration.

ORLY.

I majorly agree with you.

Also, I can't help but get feelings of the author being too critical and dismissive. Is this because the Diaspora folks got a lot of initial funding from their petition? Or is it the author's own ego? Either way, the article gives me a nagging feeling of superiority.

PEBKAC, sir. That's the problem.

The way this article has been titled, it screams "SENSATIONAL!!11 READ ME!!!". Comes across as applications lock all your photos and messages and charge a dollar a peek.

Yes, it will look weird because Consolas was designed specifically for ClearType (which is why it looks nowhere as good on OS X). Inconsolata was designed without it.

Similarly, Monaco doesn't look half as good on Windows :) Text rendering differs on OS X and Windows.

ORLY.

lol Microsoft.

This is awesome.

Sure, just use Gentoo Prefix. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/

As an engineer, I won't take your argument of "thousands" of functions in a custom module. Also, yes, Drupal is far more complex than any other CMS because it's not a CMS. It's more like a framework you use to build your own mini-CMS. You can customize it to your needs a lot more than WP.

"... for someone as big as TechCrunch"

Huh? How does "big" make them deserve a custom solution? Huge behemoths like nowPublic.com and spreadfirefox.com run Drupal. Heck, economist.com is >>> techcrunch, and they're dropping their custom solution and shifting to Drupal. IMO, "big" is the least of their concerns if they want to switch to Drupal. TC is perfect example of a website wanting content management. Content is what they deal with.

But, I will say Drupal is not the answer to all problems. For example: if your application deals primarily with data that can't be classified broadly into "content". Like last.fm or chesspark.com or etherpad.com... you get me.

About time they shifted to Drupal. WP seems to be going down on security pretty bad.

Since you've already decided we're "ugly and hostile", I'd like you cite certain examples of this hostility. I've been in the community for almost 3 years now, and its by far the most insanely-motivated and awesome community I know.

Submitted for rant^Wdiscussion reasons.

Don't be, use Redcar (www.redcareditor.com) on your linux box :-) At least editors across *nix are faaar better than ones on Windows.
