masterleep··on Brendan Eich becomes Mozilla CEO
Oh noes! Someone whose political beliefs differ from my own! Burn the infidel!
masterleep··on Don't Ban “Bossy”
Are there no online communities that you can't complain about?
masterleep··on High prices sending Bay Area renters and homebuyers to outlying communities
I don't think "you" did anything. It was the preferences and decisions of millions of cooperating parties that affected underlying value.
masterleep··on High prices sending Bay Area renters and homebuyers to outlying communities
What an inefficient idea. Better to give it to the person who values it the most, as signified by the price they are willing to pay.
masterleep··on Companies Flee U.S. Tax System by Reincorporating Abroad
Because Koch brothers!
masterleep··on Restaurant Payment is an Awful Experience
I like the South Korean system. Stand up when you're ready to leave and walk out. They will intercept you by the door for payment. No high tech necessary, sorry YC folk.
masterleep··on The New York Times Redesign is Live
Totally agree. Fixed position menu bars are ghastly - especially ones that animate in.
masterleep··on Techies Are the New Puritans
Having to dodge shit and vomit in the alleys of San Francisco is disgusting. It is as simple as that.

One would think that with the enormous resources devoted to the poor, we could at least expect not to have to step on shit. But one would be wrong, due to the incredible inefficiency and corruption of our one party state.

masterleep··on Will Google Kill my Blog on December 6th?
It's a bag of hurt.
masterleep··on Will Google Kill my Blog on December 6th?
Calculated Risk is a huge blog in the financial space. It would definitely behoove Google to avoid its erasure.
masterleep··on Tools for Switching from Windows to Mac Development
It is far faster at scrolling with non-ASCII characters, helpful when scanning logs of such characters.

It has a better find interface.

It is almost exactly like Terminal.app in most respects, which I appreciate.

masterleep··on Why developers are leaving the Facebook platform
I agree with you on that. The Facebook platform exceeded even Windows in the level of developer displeasure and brain damage from working with it.
masterleep··on SaferWeb: Injects in Various Ruby Websites Through Regexp
I've never heard of this before. Not only is this surprising, the fix is ugly.
masterleep··on High-risk video game venture has Rhode Island, Curt Schilling reeling
No. The problem is lack of accountability, not talent-for-hire.
masterleep··on Twitter is tracking you on the web
Does the Firefox 'No 3rd Party Cookies' setting avoid Twitter-tracking?
masterleep··on On June 6th, World IPv6 Launch Will Change The World Forever
What will drive this is hosts providing free IPv6 static addresses but charging increasing amounts for IPv4 ones.
masterleep··on An easier way to create GitHub repositories
For the love of all that's holy, please add issue sorting back, as requested hundreds of times on the blog post on that topic...
masterleep··on Amazon S3 Price Reduction
Yes, that's exactly the kind of service I'd like to see. A small number of days to access the data is fine.
masterleep··on Amazon S3 Price Reduction
Do you mean 4c/GB/month? The $50 cartridge fee would be non-recurring except for storage.
masterleep··on Amazon S3 Price Reduction
If a personal backup solution requires manual steps, it will eventually stop happening.
masterleep··on Amazon S3 Price Reduction
Half price is of course better, but for my use case, I want something ten times cheaper. I'm willing to trade convenience and latency for that cost saving.

Use case: I want to be able to shoot several minutes of video on my cell phone and keep it backed up in the cloud without feeling like I've incurred a $1/year charge for the rest of my life.

masterleep··on Amazon S3 Price Reduction
It's still pretty expensive for archival storage without instant access requirements. Can somebody please do a tape based cloud storage service with slow file access but much cheaper per TB storage costs?
masterleep··on SPDY Brings Responsive and Scalable Transport to Firefox 11
SPDY doesn't provide a way to proxy-cache public assets, so it's bad for places that use such caching to mitigate low bandwidth / high latency connections.
masterleep··on This is why I don't give you a job
Simpler solution. Let people make arrangements they want.
masterleep··on The Past 2 Weeks in the World of Ruby
Is there an RSS version?
masterleep··on WordPress 3.3 "Sonny"
Hopefully it disables it.
masterleep··on Dear Mozilla: Fix Your Damn Browser
Use the workaround that's in that thread. It works today.
masterleep··on Dear Mozilla: Fix Your Damn Browser
This longstanding bug has been found and fixed in the past few weeks. There’s a workaround as well (use the Places Maintenance addon to properly index your Places database).
