My problem with your question is the evergrowing lack of critical thinking on HN. I think even PG has eluded to it.
What's the difference from Bootstrap? Why don't you view its source? Read through the framework's documentation? For one the default styling is significantly different than Bootstrap.
The one thing I fondly miss about Slashdot is people would liberally tell you to RTFM when you asked something obvious that could have been answered by reading the article posted.
you are being rude in the first place. You could have framed your comment better. quit HN if this community is disturbing you so much.
I disagree with your original comment. Yes, we can read the source. Yes, we can analyze it ourselves. But time is limited to all of us. The product should state exactly how it is different with the competition and why we should pick it. This is similar to how pg asks startups to describe themselves in one simple sentence. You don't tell pg that he lacks critical thinking for not reading my website.
Stating how you are different gives the customers focus. If you state that you are different because of X then you can go into the code and look at X particularly.
Yes I do that when it's apparent that it's worth my time. When I come across a new technology which I don't really get the point of (like this one), I ask around first instead of wasting my time to go through viewing the source and stuff. That's what most people who respect their own time do.
The origins of this survey need to be audited and investigated. Some school districts are notoriously greedy and only care about their bottom-line: test scores. The higher scores, the more money (for the district and for their salaries). I'm sure they correlated drug habits with low test scores, and sought to extradite delinquents from their schools. Perhaps even a precursor to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School-to-prison_pipeline
Their API doesn't provide this right now, but what I'd really like to see is anonymous data regarding bike movement. (assuming the bikes have GPS, they are tracked no?)
I'm curious about statistics like the most frequent bike routes people take, the longest rides, the density of bikes per location, etc.
To me, an avid cyclist for more than 15 years, helmets are less about protection from a car and more about protection from bike failure or small obstacles on the road. It doesn't take a very large rock to cause your bike to crash, especially road bikes with skinny wheels. A low impact crash like that is where a helmet could truly save you from concussions or worse.
If you lived in NYC you would wear a helmet. Or should. And I would say NYC has more experienced cyclists than the Netherlands, considering what New Yorkers have to put up with. The dangers of NYC cycling is the density of things that can hurt you moving around you.
NYC has a population 10.40 times larger than the largest city in Netherlands (Amsterdam), with a density that is 7.85 times greater.
> The solution is to keep light gradients, light drop shadows, and some gloss. Just enough to keep a good level of usability, while not adding excessive ornamentation.
I agree intensely with this. I have always preferred designs without excessive ornamentation, but at the same time I like a little gradients and border radius. Border radius gets me especially.. you can have flat design with border radius -- but you don't need a border; just use border radius by itself. The kind of flat design that is all about sharp edges and boxes is so ugly.
Please expand, how would you see fit a framework that isn't like the rest? I'd love to know. Personally I don't see a lot of room for innovation in design. The early 2000s had its table-based designs, and micro designs with small bitmap fonts.. that only appealed to a niche audience. Websites then were much less accessible and had horrible UX. In today's modern design, you're either flat (Foundation, etc.) or you're Bootstrap. If Yahoo didn't mimic the aesthetics of the most popular frameworks, people would complain about it being too different, and it would not gain wide-spread adoption.
Newton's First Law of Motion. Keep moving, stay moving. Keep eating healthy and exercising, stay healthy and fit. Keep learning, stay sharp and knowledgeable.
There are more life frictions as we age that dissuade us from continually learning. If you realize this and work against it, there is no way someone significantly younger than you can realistically be a better fit for a job. They may have knowledge, but you'll have that and decades more experience and wisdom.
Standing all the time isn't healthy either, but one thing standing desks promote better is taking breaks more often. I'm more willing to walk around and stretch if I'm already standing, than if I'm sitting.
I've been using a GeekDesk for 2 years now. I recently purchased a LifeSpan Treadmill (just the base) for my standing desk as the next step, and really like it. Careful though, you can't go from sitting to treadmill, it's too much body shock, you'll need to ease into standing for a few months first.
Price is steep on these, presumably due to the motors. Is there a similar desk that you can elevate with a simple hydraulic foot pedal? Kind of like the chairs at a hair salon.
Although the author didn't go to college and had a low GPA in High School, it's evident he had a penchant for math, and therefore grasped advanced Computer Science concepts.
Now take a high school graduate who sucks at math, but may be a great web developer. My advice to them, should they want to work at Google, is graduate from college.
