Particularly useful site for me... but that is one jacked up mobile site.

UI on the web is dead

Literally every single update to an existing website/app is less usable/aesthetically pleasing from the one it replaced.Stupid shit like making keyboard shortcuts unusable (yahoo mail). And this new ios update is horrific.Am i the only one that has noticed this? Im so sick of this crap.

Hey bud, I appreciate your comment... it's really awesome of you. I hope I don't come off as sounding pathetic... I just am in a weird situation I wasn't really expecting. To be honest with you, I don't really have any destination and I'd rather get out of GA so don't count me out yet... haha. 2 days ago I didn't realize I would be in this situation. I'll give you an email in a little bit.

Changing the world is hard, I need your help

Hey guys, I’m in a really bad situation right now and I need some help. Every once in a while I’ll read a story on Reddit about complete strangers uniting together to help out another complete stranger. Because of amazing stories like these, I am hopeful that maybe there is one person out there that is willing to help me out. I know it’s selfish of me to sit here and ask for help... especially...

Facebook (De) Friend Awkwardness

So I've noticed recently that a few people that I've been Facebook friends with are no longer friends. These are people that I'm not real good friends with but actually do hang out with from time to time via mutual friends. Every time I see one of them, I feel a mutual awkwardness.I've read stories of FB friends disappearing due to the lack of db reliability and such so I'm not sure if either...

Facebook friend ghosts

So I'm browsing my Facebook friends and all my EX-friends are showing up too. This is really weird and it has never happened before. Any one else noticing this??? It seems that Facebook is caching everthing really shitty lately.

You got the programming fatigue?

I've recently started programming a new startup of mine full time and found that I am severely limited to how much work I can do because of physical fatigue - notably eye strain (pain) and wrist pain (carpel tunnel).I have started wearing wrists braces on each hand to help with the wrist pain and that helps. And for my eyes I often wear polarized sunglasses and switch between staring at my...

Re:Ask HN: Startup vs Girlfriend on Tuesday July 07, 2009 @02:05PM (#692017)
Although I can't necessarily give you advice, I can tell you that I am going through a very similar situation right now - working full time on a start-up and live with my girlfriend. I am also 25. Sometimes, it is real hard balancing a relationship and start-up life but I have been able to do it because, although she technically does not understand what I'm doing, she knows what I'm going through right now and she is willing to make some sacrifices as long as I am. She gives me the time I need and even gives me money when I really need it (I joke around that she is my investor... lol). I have explained to her the start-up culture and she has accepted it and we are doing great now. If anything, I would try to just explain to her that you are accomplishing your goals and dreams and that you would love for her to be a part of your life but sometimes it may be hard.

Man you guys are awesome!! Thanks a bunch. I figured out my controller prob so yall don't need to worry about that.
Re:Hey PHP guys... OOP question on Thursday June 25, 2009 @09:49AM (#673612)
Hey guys, thanks a bunch for the help. It makes better sense now. Thinking about what yall said, how do can you load a controller from a controller. I tried:

$this->children = array( 'common/search', 'account/login' );

The first one (common/search) loads fine but the second one doesn't. Am I doing this wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hey PHP guys... OOP question

I was wondering if you guys could explain something to me. I'm developing a new website based on CakePHP and am curious as whether it would be beneficial (faster and less code) to replace://Controller$this->data['text_learn'] = $this->language->get('text_learn');//Language$_['text_learn'] = 'Learn About Our Website';//View<?php echo $text_learn; ?>Simply with://View<?php...
