I think you're missing an algebraic sign there.

You don't disagree, do you? More and more companies are using an Android OS, thus, the increasing amount of (device) fragmentation.

Wrong math certainly do harm people directly. One example: Ariane 5

Thank you! Without having worked with the new UI, I do like the looks of the new palette. The form fields on the other hand look like they could be overseen easily.

Anyone have a link to the new UI? Couldn't find any screenshots of it and am still running a rather old version of PS.
Re:Show HN: Sound in front of YouTube for mp3 on Sunday September 21, 2014 @04:15PM (#8348136)
Nice idea!

I'm not sure about the legal issue here though. If I see it correctly, you are downloading the songs to your server and serve the file from there. A lot of content that is uploaded is often times illegal, so you might be charged for distributing illegal content (illegal as in copyright).

What I'm also wondering. How come the parsing takes so long? I know other services that are a lot faster. Is it just the speed limit of the server itself?

The brothers do have some money, I suppose, from their company. However, I'm not sure if they are using the data gathered from this service, thus resulting in revenue somehow (maybe in their social network).

Replacing SMS I can see, since whatsApp/GroupMe/iMessages/whatsoever is already doing so, but replacing e-mail? Why would it replace e-mail in your opinion? I think IM/chats have a completely different purpose compared to e-mail, which unfortunately is often times used wrongly imho.

Wow, never heard of it before today. This should definitely be promoted more! I was surprised there was only one old news here on HN. I submitted a new one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6913456
Re:FLAC 1.3.0 Released on Tuesday June 11, 2013 @12:08PM (#5862662)
I think you misread "can't" and "can".
Re:FLAC 1.3.0 Released on Tuesday June 11, 2013 @10:28AM (#5861934)
Besides having a lossless compressed audio file, I often wonder, if one can actually hear the difference between a well compressed mp3 (say, converted from a flac) and the actual original flac? Is there a real benefit for the average consumer? The problem I see is the quite large file size.
Re:Vim users: stop using hjkl on Friday March 01, 2013 @02:31PM (#5306412)
Seriously, I can't stop but think while reading your comments that you have a lot of emotions building up within you.

I see your point in people evangelizing VIM, Emacs, Apple, whatsoever, but... who cares? Let them be. I don't see, why you try so hard to prevent people from being happy and enjoy little things in life. Why does everything have to be insignificant, because something else is so much more significant? I seriously don't get your point there.

Let people love their editor, even if it is insignificant to you. People actually are more productive, when they are happy using a product they like, or could you seriously imagine writing code/surfing the web/do anything with the on-screen keyboard? Even you would get frustrated and would hate your job. It does matter. Maybe not the productivity-wise, but definitely how you, as a person, feel.

Re:Vim users: stop using hjkl on Friday March 01, 2013 @12:30PM (#5305620)
Seems to be a lot of anger in there.

As for myself, I don't really care much about speed while coding, however, I do care much about being efficient at doing things. Why should I have to move my hands up to reach the arrow keys, if I can use the home row instead? I do think it is very tiresome to move my hands around (maybe because I'm lazy?). This of course applies to the mouse/trackpad as well. Again, you need to move your hand to away. Again. Not necessarily about speed, more about efficiency and convenience.

Re:LibreOffice: cleaning and re-factoring a giant code-base [video] on Sunday February 17, 2013 @07:29AM (#5235026)
It's not the only thing. The UX and UI itself is very 'old-school' and IMO very outdated. It's like using Windows 3.11 instead of Windows XP, let alone Windows 7/8.
Re:Get 50GB of Box free for life on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @01:12PM (#5208425)
At least Dropbox has never complained about my ~4-5GB files.
Re:Get 50GB of Box free for life on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @12:56PM (#5208297)
The user interface is not as intuitive as Dropbox's. Box, at least on the Mac, doesn't integrate es nicely as Dropbox. The web interface is very unintuitive and overstuffed with features as well.

At least that's my first impression of Box, when compared to Dropbox.

It's suppose to show you which pin is the correct one. The lock picker obviously can't know that's why he tries all of them.
Re:How do keys work? Explained in one Gif on Tuesday January 22, 2013 @06:37PM (#5100373)
That's what I was thinking. That would be quite nice.

I'm actually more concerend about privacy. Now tracking a device is even easier than before. No more downloading of illegal contents!

Just look at his CV[0]. It is just amazing what Park has accomplished with such young age.
