News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

reidab

I'm one of the co-chairs of the conference, so anything I can say is somewhat biased, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

We're in our fourth year now and our attendees have consistently praised the feel of the conference, the content, and the setting.

Submit a proposal, get accepted, come to Portland and enjoy life for a few days with fellow open source hackers. :)

I'm curious to know if the typing prompt scores fewer 10's because of increased typing effort and if the hover-to-reveal circle gets more centrally-located numbers due to Fitt's law

/me adds an episode of PodCastle(.org) to PodCastle(.us) http://podcastle.us/e/kbQub

Namespace collision proved non-fatal, but still a bit confusing.

With Apple's developer tools installed, open the "iPhone Simulator" and choose "iPad" from the "Device" menu. Open Safari. Voila: your website the way it would (actually) look on an iPad.
Re:Ask HN: How do you consume Hacker News? on Sunday November 22, 2009 @06:26PM (#956402)
I use Nirmal Patel's neat republishing of the RSS feed that uses Readability to extract content from target links.

... and a mobile doughnut truck.
I'm not quite sure I'd sum this up as "issues with co-working spaces", more a variety of strategies.

http://www.modernista.com/ (an ad agency) has been doing something similar for a while. Seems a bit copycat.

It's shareware, but it only nags when accessing bookmarks, not when saving them (which is all I ever used the FF extension for anyway...)
