The prospect of an entirely robotic war is interesting to me. No more bloodshed, the winner is determined by the amount of technological progress they manage to achieve and put into use. Wars could actually become somewhat useful for humanity as means to improve technologies (they already do, but the death toll that comes with them is kind of a shitty side-effect).

http://ace.c9.io/ is probably what you're looking for.

Is this valid even if you use session instead of cookie?

How would you do it with redis exactly?

Probably like a mess.

It's a "game" so it's acceptable.

Nice, but looking at the paperclip rails example I really didn't understand where to look. The only file visible was the application controller, and the application wouldn't run because the migrations hadn't been executed.

I said this without thinking. I'm sorry.

I've never had a problem with hinting, why does everybody consider it so difficult?

The home page sounds kind of pretentious, so much so that I'm not even sure I want to try it.

Not entirely true. A lot of times resolutions are just double the normal one, so the SVG image scales perfectly and looks good.

I can't find the Star Trek ones!

Yes but there are limits in the way. Not saying Apple has reached the limit, but it's not as easy as one might think to reach that point.

Finally a post that doesn't just say "iOS7 BAD". Pretty well motivated, and I can agree with it in part. The inconsistencies it shows with the red button are confusing indeed (I just tried it on my iPad, the button in the stopwatch will change state when you begin touching, the one in the timer changes state when you lift your button, which is confusing because it doesn't work as expected).

The one thing I don't agree with is how the writer argues that, because the UI elements like the "+" button are red, it means they might be misinterpreted as performing a negative action. I think it's not a good point because it's easy to tell that red is the accent color of the application (for example the active navbar button is red), and thus it doesn't really play a role in telling the user whether the action is a positive or a negative one. The fact that the big round buttons start as green, and only become red once tapped (along with a change in their label), should make it easy to tell that they're not red because it's the accent color of the app, instead they're red because they perform a destructive action (in this case, resetting the timer). Their label further confirms their purpose.

As a last remark, I don't think that even the least savvy users are to be treated as "dumb". If they care enough, they will figure it out nonetheless. This isn't one of those issues that would make it impossible to use the app. You just need to put a small amount of thought in using it.

They want you to buy a new one.

I wish more screenshots were available of this. The screenshot at the top doesn't really show much.

You are not supposed to use your phone while driving. Not even looking at it. You are putting yourself and others in danger.

If you REALLY must use your phone because you can't resist living without it for more than 10 minutes then hold the home button and ask Siri to read you your messages. That's what Siri is really made for.

This looks as if it was written by a person who hasn't actually used iOS 7 for more than 10 minutes in total on an actual iPhone. All of the things you say are untrue or imprecise. The default background is the "starry night" one.

The only problem so far with backgrounds is that in some cases the icon labels become hard to read.

The rest is just uninformed FUD.

I think features like this start off as mutations that don't cause an evolutionary disadvantage to the creature that bears them. After a few generations where they change a bit every time, they might actually become useful to the animal's survival and start evolving even faster. If they became disadvantageous at any point they'd probably become excluded because they'd make it harder for the animal to reproduce.

I think the baseline thought behind putting it on the iPhone's lock screen is that nobody in their right mind would rely on it to secure top secret documents or the information from their bank account... or would they?

This is going to take care of those people who like to use big meaningless words. It brings an entirely new meaning to what they're saying.

Warning: cringeworthy

I disagree. I think it's just spreading ignorance. I think there are ways to explain stuff in a simple way without having to neglect the actual accuracy of the information you're giving.

The website (at least when visited from an iPhone) does a great job of not explaining what the app is about, unless you click on the App Store button and read the description over there, but I don't think many potential users will put enough effort in it to get to that point. You might want to address that.

If you have a big image meant for desktop users only and you hide it with CSS, I'm pretty sure most modern UAs won't download it.

I think you should try using WAI-ARIA standards[0] instead. That way you can keep your structure the same and give screen readers and such a better description of what's going on in your page.

This is the first article on HN I actually had fun reading. The puns were terribly hilarious.

It's probably just me, but I cringe a little bit whenever I read the word "disruption".

Oh crap, that must be what the File menu is all about!
