My thoughts:

a) Assuming the link you mention was low quality, that doesn't justify low quality here.

b) Interface design has a broad appeal, it involves reasoning about utility and aspects of the human experience we all have access to, but often overlook, like biases and perception. Graphic design involves subtler distinctions in a subset of the above.

c) I enjoy visually understanding concepts and making comparisons. I like when designers take an opportunity to represent their personal taste. Standing up for your taste involves personality, your ability to put yourself in context, and some vulnerability. That is real to me. This article contained none of that depth-- only two words in the stub-- "corporate lipstick" referenced the new design.

Whats your take on it?
Separate.
I like HackerNode more because:

1. It contains more columns than only "FrontPage", such as "Jobs" and "Comments";
2. The UI seems more concise. Although there are not indent between comments, the text is much clearer.

However, neither of these apps can be used to add comments. So I can only come back to my computer and add this comment on the web page.
Yes, but java applets ARE in precarious situation and they rarely work at all.

The only time I have seen a java applet recently was on a website with ATARI emulator (I guess it still wasn't ported to JavaScript and/or Flash).
This is just plain silliness. There are millions, literally hundreds of millions, of full capacity magazines out there in the world right now. If a criminal can manage to get their hands on an illegal gun they can certainly manage to get their hands on a full capacity magazine just as easily and for far less money. They are too easy to make, too easy to store, too easy to transport for it to be otherwise.

That was true even during the period of time when the national "assault weapons" ban was in place.

Also, when you call a magazine a "clip" you immediately make yourself look like someone who knows very little about firearms. A magazine is a spring loaded device that holds bullets in a gun, and may or may not be detachable. A "clip" is a device which is sometimes used to store bullets for quickly loading into a magazine.
Marketing Automation is not total crap. Here's why.
Yeah, the GPU process can do this regardless due to the way Windows forces any accellerated GPU app to work. I'm not sure if you dug into this before, but the GPU does run as low-integrity for UIPI purposes on the interactive desktop (lower for other object access). Unfortunately, the desktop window, screen, and display state are still exposed at that level. We're digging into AppContainers to see if tighter restrictions are possible on Win8, but usage is still so low that it's not a priority.
Social hacking at its finest. The benefits of a fake girlfriend go far beyond attracting a real girlfriend. Everyone looks differently at someone who is dating a hot chick. This could be just as valuable in terms of general networking or self promoting.

It makes me wonder what similar ideas are out there. For the majority of people, social capital is the most valuable kind of capital there is. Facebook itself is kind of a social hack, and there's a lot more value there. Plus, this is one of the best things to happen to nerdy high school kids. It's like the "I have a girlfriend but she's in canada" on the next level.

If you find this business to be repugnant, who do we blame? These enterprising brazilians for starting the website? Or ourselves for being so influenced by relationship status and physical appearance? The human brain is based on simple rules and you can't blame someone for capitalizing on that.

I hoped that implication would have been obvious by comparing it to home distilling. Just because it's illegal, doesn't mean nobody does it.
The effort to print a magazine is much higher than just buying one, even on the black market, at least for the next few years. (You also need to find a magazine spring, and maybe some other strengthening components).

This is just grandstanding and fear-mongering; irresponsible nonsense that won't have any effect.

Based on the profile (24 minutes or so old) and the remark, I am interpretting that to mean you are a (longtime?) lurker who created an account to reply here (in this thread). Is that about right?

Thank you.
My point is that just like some animals put off mating rituals to attact mates, we humans do so. Still, I know as much about that as I know about zoology. Zilch.
Who is "Nolan Night"? Is he qualified to review a script? Reading a script is hard. A lot of fantastic movies have screenplays that sound terrible if you don't have an ear for it (and I don't, that's how I know I'm right).
Ok, well first of all, your suggestion that I don't like working is ridiculous. I work 50-60 hours a week. Some of that time is spent designing wireframes.

It would take ages for me to describe the exact interface I want and even then, as you implied, that may not suit others. So, rather than try to request an exact interface, I was trying to paint a better picture of what wireframing apps should be focused on. Less is more. At the moment, I think they are all missing the mark considerably.
Except it has absolutely no type safety whatsoever. With modern-style C++, you can do the same thing in exactly 1 line:

std::sort(begin(array), end(array), [](int a, int b) { return a < b; });

Versus:

qsort(array, MAX_VAL, sizeof(int), compare);

With compare as defined before. I mean, sure, it's just sorting and it's a tiny example, but to me it shows a lot about why I prefer C++ over C: typesafety, readability, reduced possibility of buffer overflows, reduced possibility of segfaults based on incorrect element access, speed thanks to code inlining vs function pointers...

You can carry a concealed handgun and shoot it at a shooting range, but if you murder someone with it - you will not only be charged with murder, but also with unlawful use of a handgun. This is common sense stuff here people sheesh.
Yeah but you can use that to get airline tickets too.
I believe that the majority of weapons used in non-gang-related mass shootings were purchased legally.

Why are you not immediately distilling a few bottles of moonshine on principle? My feeling is gun-freedom supporters view gun ownership as a proxy for freedom. Why not view alcohol distillation as your symbolic meter-stick instead? Just like illegally produced spirits, owning a gun won't stop the TSA from violating your rights. Nor will it stop the FBI from raiding your home.
That's fine when you're talking in generalities (actually its not its pretty blinkered) but if you're talking about your wife, you're talking about A WOMAN not WOMEN. So you don't need to appeal to the general woman you need to appeal to your specific woman, the best way to do that is to communicate with her. I can't imagine playing some silly guessing game where I try to intuit what she wants. I've been married for 10 years, it seems to me that your advice would apply mostly to people in the first 2 years of a relationship.

EDIT - ok so I just read some of the article you linked, I can't really fathom anything about that, I couldn't ever be in a relationship like the ones described so I guess I'm not qualified to comment on how to fix a relationship like that. My relationship is a partnership - not to say that we're equal in every way, we each excel in different areas and support each other as needed.

That said, I still don't think that advice is applicable to a lot of people, going from being a doormat to a arrogant alpha seems pretty extreme and likely to undermine the basis of whatever the relationship was founded on (assuming it was founded on something like her being a demanding princess and you being a cringing sycophant)
I'm not sure what you mean by "views"? This wouldn't be a necessary feature across breakpoints, if that's what you mean. Multiple device layouts would work off the same template, so changing an element would naturally update across all breakpoints.

Can you describe a scenario where you might need the functionality you're talking about?
Damn, thanks for the heads up.
Great coverage on this fact at CH: http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/women-prefer-taken...
It's a Samsung platform, Linux-based. Like Windows 8, many of the services are HTML5-based; the bundled browser is Webkit and actually tops HTML5 test benchmarks among mobile browsers: http://html5test.com/results/mobile.html

I worked with a company that was halfheartedly pitched a couple of demo hardware units last year running Tizen 1.0 for evaluation purposes - they wanted HTML5-based games and apps to bundle with the system or feature prominently on what I assume is an upcoming app store. I wasn't impressed with its broken JS support at the time and didn't look into what it would have taken to rewrite the games to run properly on the platform, but maybe they've come a long way since then?
Seriously?

You are directly calling me an asshole (twice now) and you are mad because I "verbally abused" someone (who, exactly?) by saying they are nothing?

Seriously? Dude, if you can't handle your emotions well enough to handle a person saying something that you find personally uncomfortable, you probably aren't ready for life yet.

Perhaps you need a discussion more to your personal liking; reddit is that way ->

Throwing another art from another medium under the bus isn't going to help things. If anything, doing so just legitimizes these ridiculous laws. We should be against these shenanigans regardless of the medium in question.
Not sure. I've always been shy in real life (not on the net), and have dressed in the same style for years (black plain tshirt, levy jeans, asiics sneakers). I'm not one to come off as confident or even stylish. Heck, I prefer to use the same style shirt because I cant match colors for the life of me. But Im pretty athletic, and run about 20-25 miles per week. So it might be that.
Tizen is primarily for phones that straddle the line between dumbphones and smartphones -- not quite direct competition.

Wow -- did you read even a single paragraph beyond that line? Immediately after that he goes on to say:

> fuse works fine if the thing being exported is some random low-use interface to a fundamentally slow device. But for something like your root filesystem? Nope. Not going to happen.

"Random low-use interface to a fundamentally slow device" (like say a remote server in some faraway "cloud") sounds exactly like the situation at hand. Compared to a "real" filesystem (like something you'd mount on /), GDrive is very much a toy, and seems to me like an ideal candidate for a FUSE filesystem.
Maybe you are giving instagram too much credit? Isnt it just a photo uploading website. Sure the "scalability" challenges might be non-trivial but definitely not rocket science
It doesn't need to be anything new, radical, or anything of the sort. All it aims to be is an Android-alike that Google doesn't control. (ideally one that also enables easy porting of Android code and assets)

With this fixed goal and with Samsung's money, it'll succeed.
BWK's rant on Pascal is about as relevant today as a critique of original C (no prototypes, types defaulting to int, etc.).

In other respects (e.g. strong type safety) Pascal's approach "won", depending on your perspective.

What research has been done on this?

When I played FPS games, I would have visualizations of walking around with a gun (in a game world). These continued for a few years after I stopped.

Now I don't have them.

I was never violent, nor had any urge to violence. But I had tons of violent images. That's an interesting effect. Did anyone else have anything similar, and is there any research on this?
Would love to know where you're finding those - the cheapest at Newegg is $120.

No unified standard across implementations, modern implementation dominated by a single vendor (Delphi) with an aging userbase and downward trend.

And when you dig into the details of Delphi, you'll find various compromises caused by competitive pressure pulling one direction, backward compatibility pulling in the other.
What do you like about balsamiq? I've used it a few times and I can't see any benefit to using it over paper, Illustrator or designing directly in the browser. I don't understand what value it's trying to add?

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned speed. Speed is key. Drop shadows, gradients, fancy fonts, complex colors etc. contradict the point of using a wireframing tool in the first place.
The sentence doesn't parse well. She is referring to the "like button" at the top right that you hover over if you want to give people kudos (on Svbtle) or likes (elsewhere).

Let's assume that Deadspin didn't trace it back eventually to a close mutual friend of his.

So he's _REALLY_ embarrassed because someone online pulled a pretty hardcore prank on him. Yet he still continues to act as though she was a real person even after he found out about it?

Because if that is true, it makes it seem to the rest of the sports world that he's just trying to garner sympathy to win the Heisman. That kind of makes him even more scummier: the fact that even though he knows that he got pranked, he continues to perpetuate the lie.

Edit: for more context about it, read this: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20130...
I want it to succeed so badly because I was a huge fan of the Nokia N900 and the N9. But it won't. They haven't released the OS yet and it already feels dead in the water.

The first video I can find of "Tizen 2.0" on YouTube is from 3 months ago and shows a very slow interface. It resembles Android a lot, but Android is much faster as of 4.0+, so why would anyone use Tizen? There are no apps to showcase as well; if you're gonna make a new smartphone platform, get people to make apps.

There's nothing on the Tizen page that makes me think that developers will find any interest here. Combined with BBX OS and WP8 in addition to the already vibrant Android and iOS ecosystems, why would anyone make a Tizen app?

And so this is doomed to fail like Maemo/Meego, it seems. Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe some company will once again adopt it and merge the code making it even more of a mongrel.
Stress in general is bad. It shortens your life. It isn't just cortisol, either; chronic stress has been shown to cause epigenetic changes (changes to which genese are being expressed) http://www.nih.gov/researchmatters/september2010/09272010str...
It might succeed in distribution because they have market share in a portion of the market largely unconcerned about user experience.

You're right. Let's ban cars. Though that's a bit too extreme, let's only ban assault vehicles. You know, those black SUV's that look a little too much like military vehicles. That is a good solution to the number of people killed by drunk drivers.
As someone else pointed out, including suicides in gun death statistics is pointless: they would have found another method had guns not been available.

I looked into the stats briefly on murders per 100k by country, and the US was somewhere in the middle of the pack. If you assume that removing guns would eliminate those deaths (I doubt this), we were actually quite safe. If on the other hand you assume that those deaths would have been caused in other ways - we are still in the middle of the pack.
They tried that already with Bada and it didn't succeed. What will make this different?
You speak the truth! Even when they're copying experiences, there's always a rough edge hanging out that makes you wince.
Is Dropbox a toy too? Or is gdrive just a toy because you have decided that it will be a low use storage device?
I don't mean to be rude, but you seem fundamentally confused. The argument you've strung together here isn't in any way specific to an SSH client built as a Chrome app--and is a just a nebulous claim that applies to any execution contexts sharing the same system.
> the Tucson experience of insane heat for about five months of the year.

I've got to object to this. Yeah, June and July (and to a lesser extent August) are pretty intense, but I'd hardly characterize the rest of the summer heat as "insane".

> I still a) went running most days,

I suppose this could be an issue. Especially during the summer rainy season (usually July-early September) it's still pretty hot and the humidity means it doesn't much cool off at night, which makes strenuous outdoor activity harder even if you do it at the coolest part of the day.
I, too, have run through several of these apps. I'll continue -- axure, keynote, indesign, and others. All with the same problems described.

I've finally arrived at pencil, paper, and a basic PHP,Smarty,Bootstrap/Zurb,backbone framework that lets me create a bunch of components, pages, and anything else I need.

It works for me because I can sit down and start making pages that link to one another. Then, once it feels right I can start back-filling with database stuff, backbone api calls, and all that.

But in the end I just ended up making another framework, albeit one that is closely tied to the frameworks above.

I think of it as my own drupal, but one with less bloat :-)

If you have a fixed-rate mortgage with a monthly payment at a comfortable level, then the mortgage should represent a very low source of risk. Having 12~18 months of payments in the bank saved up for a rainy 1.5 years is a great plan to mitigate that.

The idea of personal comfort is interesting, I think people should attempt to quantify the value of being mentally released of debt burden -- maybe for some there is very high value in it. For me personally, I have always been comfortable with the idea of strategic debt as a way to advance certain goals.

I think what your approach neglects is the fact that being conservative is risky as well. In the last five years, of course, it would be hard to make that case. But unless you die soon, there will definitely be times where you will be left behind -- relative to your economic peers -- if you don't finance your activities externally.

> Working out or wearing a suit or getting a good job or listening to a marriage counselor or acting more assertive are all examples of "changing yourself to suit her/women"

Wrong. Dead wrong. If you do everything to please your wife, you have a serious personality disorder. I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean it as a statement of something you might not realize.

I like dressing up because I like dressing up. I've worn a suit around the house on a lark, I wear ties to a n office where T-shirts are the norm. I absolutely do not do it because I'm trying to please or attract women. On the contrary, it probably seems stuffy and uninviting.

I work out because I want to be in good shape, so I can go on cycling trips, and live a longer and healthier life. I don't do it because I want women to stare at my abs (they're coming along, promise).

I saw a counselor while I was in a relationship to work through my issues independently. I ended up leaving my girlfriend, who I still love dearly, because I needed space to work through my own pathologies.

If I act assertive (and I usually don't), it's because I'm confident that I'm right, and I feel something is urgent. I don't push incorrect opinions on people just for the sake of being manlier than the other person. I try to be considerate of everyone's opinion, and make reasoned decisions. I frequently say 'I don't know', and then go and find out.

> According to society women should instead want men who are caring, sensitive listeners

The Ryan Gosling school of thought. Unfortunately, as much as you think you're working against society, you've just described a different caricature: James Bond. There are as many bad boys in movies as good ones, and the bad ones usually get the girl.

The whole premise of your post is that you live your life and define yourself to optimally please/attract women. If you define yourself only in terms of other people's opinions, you likely suffer for poor self-esteem. As much as the blog you linked is funny, it's not helping you work through your issues.

edit:

I forgot about

> Shrug.

You're honestly so afraid of a little introspection that you've resorted to writing out gestures of indifference. Rather than consider your own life and marriage, you're looking for a quick-fix that sounds like a movie ( Grease, specifically, but you're Oliva Newton John).
I run www.mobjectify.com

While it is targeted primarily towards users developing mobile sites or apps, it does solve atleast two of the problems you stated.

The mockups are made using jQuery Mobile and so are responsive by nature, and the design can easily be exported into html and css.

While it is still far from perfect, it does work with the aim of the browser being your mockup tool, with the service simply being an aid to allow access to prebuilt components.
We dont have "Open access" and we cant buy guns as powerful as we want (no full auto, nothing over 50mm, certain shotguns, sbr...etc) we have tracking, lots of media preasure. So not sure what you are getting at. Look at ca with strict gun laws, bahas a AWB has limits on hangun purchases and registration. They still have very high gun violence. The problems lie in how kids are raised.
