Re:Improve the usability of a Sign-in process on Tuesday September 27, 2011 @09:19AM (#3043102)
how about register button next to sign in button? so I don't have to go to other page?
well... maybe linux users just learn from the stuff they read on wikipedia and iPhone users don't remember and visit over and over again? :)
maybe insane.. but makes the plugins faster...

"The UI stinks", but I like idea and functionality behind. Just like online group sticky note board I'd like to use
Re:Show HN: Final Touch on Tuesday September 13, 2011 @09:20AM (#2991284)
nice app, I don't have a mac, but still impressive. btw, small idea: I got the idea of precision vs speed, just format it so that precision is on one end and speed is on the otherone

I also hate it, plus I think everyone would be better off if Canonical helped to improve Gnome or KDE not waste developers and users time with such experimental time

Re:Ask HN: Am I getting screwed on options/equity? (Employee #2) on Tuesday September 13, 2011 @04:18AM (#2990487)
well, we all are greedy bastards, however - 0.4% sounds too low assuming that for the start-up you will have to put in all your passion even when it is not there. danielharan gave good advice - if you lower their costs at the moment (your salary) they might be interested in increasing your equity part. And yes, you are taking risk. P.s. if they succeed, you will have created much more than 0.4% of the value.

stats looks nice, but there is still A LOT of IE6 users (a little below 9-10% as trying to read from graph) ... sad for web developers
Re:Part 2: How I dealt with a burnout on Friday September 02, 2011 @06:15AM (#2953573)
it seems like a transformation from programming itself as a goal to delivery of product/service whatever achieved with programming. I personally favor this view of programming as a tool not as a goal
