Re:Mozilla can produce near-native performance on the Web

It seemed that the general idea of web being slow is so polarizing that each and everyone of us can't even pinpoint where the problem is. I suspect the problem is a multidimensional one.

Happy to see that these powerful little things are getting more affordable. What does those expansion pins do? Can they be used for I/O like button and LED?

Same here. I used D-U-N-S Profile Lookup[1] and entered the company's detail (Singapore company). An hour later, I received an email containing the D-U-N-S number from [email protected]

Re:Making Facebook's native mobile app faster using HTML5
on Monday December 17, 2012 @09:30PM (#4935743)
It started with the implementation of an Infinite List Component that handles items with unknown sizes. Only a very small set of DOM nodes is actually created to fill in the actual visible screen area. They will then be constantly recycled to render next / previous data on-demand. As a result, memory footprint is kept minimal, regardless of the amount of data in the Store. Making this work is the easy part. Making it fast with the complexity and variety of items such as News Feed stories is the real challenge. The bottleneck lies within the core processes that a browser has to perform: layout and compositing.
I wished jQuery Mobile has Infinite List Component that handles the list item recycling the last time I used it. It is the equivalent of UITableViewCell's dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier.
Re:New board in the Arduino Family: Esplora
on Tuesday December 11, 2012 @05:23AM (#4903924)
While I agree that Esplora is a true departure from previous designs, I don't think "fragmentation" is really an obstacle here. As always, users just need to choose the board model under Tools -> Board menu. As the underlying library and code, I believe are still the same.

You could set 2 versions: text and html. Email clients that do not support html will fallback to displaying text.

Yeah, I read that Objective-C got it's ARC feature after static analyzer was integrated to Xcode. No more manual reference counting is definitely a plus.

The thing is upshot doesn't seem to trigger if portion of the screenshot is selected. Capturing the whole window works though.

Re:Show HN: Docverter: convert plaintext to PDF, Docx, or ePub. Now in...

This is likely a service I'd use once in a while. Say I want to convert an html to mobi once per month, the listed pricings do not fit my use case. That means one conversion for 5 bucks.
I know it isn't easy to set up the pricings but would there be any "pay per use" for people like me?

Re:Show HN: I'm building a webapp for serious cyclists

A few of my friends use Endomondo to track their cycling activity and get the statistics, share routes. It works nice and basically you just need a smartphone with GPS and a bike and you're ready to roll.
They're cycling hobbyist though but bike quite often.

Could it be that newspaper and subway system that were named Metro are both operating locally so there's no brand confusion while Metro AG has worldwide operations?

Re:The Power of Introverts: A Manifesto for Quiet Brilliance

I read a book by another female author that suggested the same theme as this article: The Introvert Advantage - How To Thrive In An Extroverted World by Marti Olsen Laney.
A nice read overall and made me aware of many obvious but often went explained why introverts behave they way they are.

Question: where did get the map and terrain data from if I may know? I used shapefiles from OpenStreetMap but they aren't as complete as I thought they are.
