Yeah, I've been contemplating disabling autocorrect system-wide on my Mac because of how infuriating it is. It's not as useful because I'm much more accurate with a physical keyboard, it's more difficult to cancel a correction because I have to move my hand off the keyboard to my mouse or trackpad then click a tiny "x", and frankly it's often just an absurd correction.

I just switched to Android from iOs and missed a lot PlainText. It lets you edit any txt sitting in your dropbox (tasks.txt?), with a very smooth sync - you don't have to touch anything to save your edits or to get the latest version from the cloud. Simple and fast, my kind of tool.

I searched a lot and gave Google Keep a chance, but it has no API so I can't write on it through Alfred or Terminal. Also the sync is crazy as sometimes takes MINUTES to an updated file appear on my mobile. The dropbox app is not good for my needs too because it requires too many steps to see the updated file - when I start it and the file is already open I need to go back to the files list and get back to the file so it can refresh.

So I decided to build it.

My surprise was that dropbox supplies the entire code for an app with its API (Notes Example) that's very, very, very similar to PlainText! Two days using and nothing seems to be missing or not functioning well. So no coding, just compiling ;-)
In common understanding of emacs, its use of lisp recieves perhaps too much attention, while its overall wonderful architecture is underappreciated. Emacs isnt just an editor with embedded lisp, its more a vm for bootstrapping editors. You could do an emacs with python, but the hard part is providing an environment where the extensions dont interfere with the user input loop, with buffer redisplay etc., while still staying easy to write. The emacs buffer-based async handling of external processes is a masterpiece of software engineering, much better than things like unix pipes. Doing extension languages for interactive programs is much harder than it seems at first, and emacs is a prime example of doing it right.

2 and 4 we've had on our mind (2 is already an improvement over the previous builds! still has work to do. I believe sane defaults would be enough though.)

And 3, I definitely want in. If only because I enjoy playing platformers with controllers so much. The only "problem" is that controllers are so wildly different from one another -chances are, most customer complaints we would have gotten would have been about that! It's definitely slated for an upcoming build.

As for 1, that's a non-trivial feature do to how levels work, but it's also definitely something we want as the game expands. As it stands now, with two separate worlds, it's not too hard to finish each in one go, yet saving would be nice, especially as more complex quests get added and potentially spawn multiple worlds.
My experience is otherwise. I've found the IRC groups for Python and PHP to be quite friendly. The one for Wordpress suffers a bit from "I don't know you, so I presume you're an idiot" but not to the same degree as the Emacs or Lisp ones. I think there's some interaction between IRC and Lisp that causes this sort of sociopathic behaviour in a small but loud subset of the community -- and the rest don't do enough to discourage it, which makes them all complicit.
Why do I have to sign in with Google to get to the top 100 list?
When I ran Linux, every time I updated my nVidia driver and did performance measurements, they seemed better, sometimes by a surprisingly large amount. I never did measurements with other systems. But if I were a graphics artist, the first thing I'd do with an optimized driver and engine is increase my polygon budget until I started to stress the engine/drivers again. At least, that's what I do with my own 3D programs... :)

No, a postcard is a very specific type of mail, which can have any image you desire on the other side (vacation, Christmas, save the date, etc). The key characteristics of a postcard is that you don't put them in an envelope and you can send them using cheaper postcard stamps instead of more expensive standard stamps.
The problem with time on site is that it can also mean "time spent looking for what I want to see but can't 'cause I can't find it." For a commerce site or a saas site this is terrible user experience. For FB, it's terrible user experience too but a great metric to show advertisements. What a bad incentive they have.

Nice work, although a little useless right now.

It would be nice if your browser support was a little more informative than "The latest versions of Chrome, FF, Safari". What platforms are you supporting? FF runs on multiple devices nowadays and although it has the same rendering engine there are subtle differences (particularly in font rendering). Also you should set a baseline for browsers, as my users don't use the latest versions of a browser, and we have a minimum requirement.

As said already it's a little odd to go with a 10 column grid, given that 12 is more divisible.

On a more general note, wouldn't it be nice if front-end CSS frameworks were more inter-operable. Let's say I want to use Foundation's forms, Simple Grid's grid and Bootstrap's alert I would have to compile Bootstrap and Foundation separately and then learn the proprietary markup and classes that Foundation uses for its forms, and then do the same for Simple Grid's grid and Bootstrap's alerts. In an ideal world the markup would be consistent and the classes and you could simply switch out your CSS files to try different things.

For certain transactions you MUST use Bitcoin. Bad currency generally drives out good, but if the good is the only way you can anonymously buy dildos in Saudi Arabia, then it is the only currency. Furthermore, bad currency drives out good generally when they hold the same face value. Otherwise there is a free float of exchange.

Also, for people living in "weird" countries, like Angola, there is often no way for them to buy things online since payment processors flag them as suspicious transactions.

Duration on the site might not be the right thing to measure. I mean, I guess that probably turns into more dollars for them from ad impressions. But not could be that time on site was shorter with the other model available was because their users got what they wanted faster.

Intuitively, this doesn't seem like it would be the case for the change described, but I hope that they are measuring some approximation of user engagement levels in addition to just time on site.

Indeed. The first thing that would happen if water were a lot more scarce is that lots of things would become more expensive, since water is an input to just about everything. Presumably people would change their behaviour in lots of ways short of just up and killing each other. "OMG expensive meat!" is a lot more likely than "OMG war!"

It's a Dell, why are you surprised? All the Dell products I've seen have the same amount of design sense as the Windows XP Fisher-Price UI. Dell is a company that assembles computers. If you want fine architecture, you don't get a prefab house.

Sadly, none of the major computer manufacturers besides Apple seem to have any sense of design. The old ThinkPads (when they were still IBM) are the nearest competitor; at least they were solid, square, and black looking. Stylish, not so much, but at least they looked professional. (I guess Microsoft gave it a good try with the surface; the hardware at least looks kind of cool)

I agree. However, when I sat down two years ago to make a benchmark, I couldn't think of anything better to benchmark than Rails. Micro-benchmarks don't predict large application performance very well. I don't like micro-benchmarks.

A micro-benchmark suite is better than a few micro-benchmarks, but really I would like a suite of real-world micro-applications.

I'm willing to add more benchmarks so it's not just Rails, but I simply don't know what to add.

Certainly these people are communicative, but that doesnt make them transparent. In my mind transparency implies an outsider having a reasonably accurate picture of the true state of affairs. These people (some of them psychopaths) will go to extraordinary lengths to convince as many people as possible that they are doing the great thing.

>They will be able to talk at length about what they are doing and how it will make everybody's life better

There is no crime in this. Everyone should think about these things. But I would argue that the malicious people need to spend more time communicating with many people to manage their perception - its almost like a propaganda war.

>openly promote transparency

This is vital information. If they openly promote transparency, you can use this attitude to suggest and implement real transparency in systems and workflows. Most of these people will recoil in horror at the idea of being exposed.

Rails and SOA: Do I really need to have this big app?
At least at MS, you're not allowed to check in "dirty" words (there's a program called 'vericheck' -- or something like that -- that does keyword scanning and generates reports to managers. It doesn't prevent you from checking in, but it's quite possible you'll get a talking to).

Of course you can obfuscate by escaping to hex, if you want.

I spend several minutes everytime I use Facebook wondering how the hell I can achieve something, or where on the page the button is hidden, or what this inscrutable icon will do.

"Time on the site" is similar to the supermarket trick of moving items around to make customers look for things, thus exposing them to more 'buying opportunities' of stuff they wouldn't normally look at.
