This was the first time I seriously tried to do a CtF and it was surprisingly fun. I spend almost the entire weekend working on it and was surprised by my eventual success despite needing some help. I'm pretty sure I would have given up on

Actually, me too. Where does this misconception come from?

Very nice! I was seriosuly missing something like this, especially for my org-files. A few times a week I want to add or change something to my todo.org but I can't because I'm at some corporate computer. At the moment I try to remember and

I can't speak for everyone but it seems to me one does gain something. If you didn't, why bother at all? Whatever you gain may be small and it probably doesn't have any monetary value but there should be some extrinsic motivation to answer.

But you also gained very little.

That isn't "leading HTML5 innovation" but I got your point ;)

The only thing I really miss compared to GMail are vim key-bindings. The default key bindings are weird.

Not subscribing to malice what can explained by stupidity is just a feeling too. The question is: do you believe the perpetrator to be malicious or dumb?

But what are these problems? What is it that requires fixing?

May I ask why? Personally I don't see any benefit whatsoever.

Yes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. So: Do you haz teh codez? The idea in practice gives a much better idea of what the pros and cons are.

The 2008 edition doesn't seem to have any video lectures or am I missing something?

The concept (Wakemate) is still pretty good. Why is no one else taking a run with it?

There are a ton of things I can do quicker in a GUI when using Postgres. That's simply because I'm not proficient with the Postgres CLI. Of course I can and try to fix that, but that takes time I don't always have.

I guess that is because it is in their interest to maintain the status quo. They probably don't believe HFT is evil or is the lesser evil.

It might not be very impressive technically but that is not the major selling point (to me). I like it because Ironspread allows me to use Python in Excel without having to learn COM. This is great because interacting with Excel would be th

Lulzsec and the people that did this are not necessarily the same. I find it a bit strange to lump a hosting provider together with terrorists accomplices. News report about CloudFare and Lulzsec: http://www.it-networks.org/2012/03/01/how-

Ordering might be improved by also using the IMDB rating. If it's an old movie that has a low score, I'm probably not interested. If it scores well, it's probably still quite popular and thus of interest. Maybe you can signal the type of th

But still not great from a UX perspective. It would definitely be a plus if this is added. Some method to let other users curate the content would be great too. On the TPB this can be done at looking at the colored skull or the comments. Im

@mmmmbop your comments are autodead but you don't seem to be a spammer. You can send an e-mail to info@ycombinator.com to restore it.

Founders are not forced to make this choice as exemplified by the GP. If you don't like founders keeping control, don't buy their shares.

That's the best kind. For those that might be confused. Diversification is a genuinely useful tool for an investor. Since it is very hard to tell which stock is going to perform well you have to spread your bets. Interesting literature on h
