Re:Open source data set on perceived page loads [survey] on Monday August 01, 2016 @02:21PM (#12204670)
Yeah, same here. So much about what people target as far as how a page loads seems to mostly be based simply on whatever some web famous person said should be done. Without any research to back up the "whys".

I spotted this research from a tweet: https://twitter.com/dparzych/status/759065074111700992
Thumbs up to vanilla micro libraries.
Re:A pro tip for reducing visual noise in OS X on Tuesday August 26, 2014 @11:14AM (#8227527)
Yeah, that's a great alternative. Thanks for mentioning.

+1 for the solid alternative. I hadn't see this before. Thanks!

I feel you. I wish there was a better way. However, the application is currently using only 7MB or RAM and 0% CPU, according to the activity monitor (MBA ~ 2012). A small price to pay if reducing distractions is important to you.

Hmmm, I'm not sure that has a similar effect. But use whatever works, I guess.

I often run sublime text next to my browser window. Obviously this depends on how you like to work. For me, this was a nice hack.

Don't hate.

Fantastic. Real time server stats with Dashing and a cheap plug computer would be great.
Re:Why should I buy your app? on Thursday March 28, 2013 @10:29AM (#5454931)
It's refreshing to get the perspective of why someone would buy an app or not, from someone that doesn't write software for a living. I think it's all too easy to lose perspective. I wish there were more articles like this one.

Re:Official Steam client for Ubuntu released on Thursday February 14, 2013 @03:54PM (#5222190)
It's a big step forward. The games are getting better but they really need a knockout game to push the linux platform forward, something like Borderlands. Something epic. Artsy/Indie games only go so far. Still, happy things are moving forward.
Re:Linode vs. DigitalOcean – performance benchmarks on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @02:03PM (#5208729)
spyder is correct, the x264 graph was mislabeled. I've updated the label. It should have read "Frames per Second" not "Seconds". However, the mp3 and flac graphs are correctly labeled. DigitalOcean still outperforms Linode on mp3 and flac, but that's probably (guessing) because the processer are not waiting for the disk and the x264 encoding is using multiple cores where mp3 and flac encoding is only using one core.

That is the question. They are the new kids on the block. I plan on moving some less critical projects to DigitalOcean. I'll be monitoring uptime very closely.
Re:Linode vs. DigitalOcean – performance benchmarks on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @10:59AM (#5207564)
I've had the same experience with Linode. They have great support.
