Makes sense. I barely play FPSs anymore, but I can imagine the scenarios that you describe, and after testing the keyboard on that site, it's clear that my actions would fail on such scenarios.

So, I take it that anti-ghosting measures are primarily meant for gaming keyboards.

In which cases are such keyboards necessary?

I use a $3 one (which I bought to replace the one I used for over a decade) and I've never had such issues. I use this keyboard for coding and gaming, not just for common tasks which require low performance.

Seriously?

This is like the fourth time that someone posts this to HN in the past 24 hours. And just as those, this will get deleted.

Please stop.

This again?

Wasn't a similarly missleading article posted and removed from HN last night?

Yes. Pretty much this.

The Mexican government is fine with everyone hating them, as long as people limit themselves to clicking the "like" button on facebook, or ranting about something, but as soon as there's the risk of people actually doing something, they start moving.

Looks cute, but we already use Telegram.

The magic ball says:

- It will be abused by ads, and annoying "CLICK HERE AND SUBSCRIBE TO MY SHITTY BLOG!" messages.

- If it ever gains popularity, all major pop-up/ad-block/no-script applications will add a couple lines to remove it.

I like how they use a huge picture of a snake for the article, even when Python isn't named after the animal, but Monty Python.

More on topic: Even when Python is one of my favorite languages, this article is plain horrible. Biased, and without any sort of point to compare it to.

Python is great for many tasks, but it's just retarded to pretend that it's the best tool to go for everything.

The concept is great, although I wasn't able to find a single genre playlist with tracks known to me (and I like to think that I know my music), which was kind of a turndown, since the point of a radio is to trust that once you pick a station, it will play things that you like, and in this case I found myself constantly alt-tabbing to type "next".

But that's an issue with the music and not with the page itself, which I enjoy.

I wouldn't quote Jobs in scenarios like this, given that he pulled a pretty similar thing with the whole Flash thing: a misinformation campaing with the sole purpose of attacking the competition with fallacies and sketchy arguments.

This is quite common in markets where there are only two or three competitors: instead of focusing on showing why your product is good, you simply bash the competition.

Pepsi vs Coca-Cola is a great example. Elections in countries with only two parties is another perfect example of this.

It's been happening for a while and it will continue, since it yields results:

The ones educated enough limit themselves to a "sigh. seriously?" and keep on using what they know it's best for them.

Then there's the target market: the ignorant masses, who will fall to these strategies, prove them useful and validate them as good marketing strategies.

The funny thing here is that there's a similiar thread every 24 hours and people always react like this is something new, and like the company in turn is super evil for doing it.
