Hangouts actually works pretty well for business uses. Give it a try.

First off, the title is horribly clickbaity. Second, we've been getting a lot of links on HN lately where someone blurts out some thoughts on a complex subject and is done in less than a page, with no depth at all. I really don't

How do you know where the string ends? If your editor has syntax coloring and you look for the end of the string-color block, then the expressions inside the string will also have a different color and will pop right out. If you don't

Yes, your body will let you know when you are thirsty. But I think it's still important to remind people to drink when they are thirsty (you'd be surprised at how often people try to hydrate by eating instead), and to drink w

This is the mental model I use.

I don't really see biology attracting the same kind of intellect that programming does. There is an enormous, and constantly growing, amount of minutiae that must be simply remembered by rote. It seems much closer to law than to comput

That's not a slight nit-pick, that's me being an idiot. I'm going to delete my account and travel the world barefoot for two years as penance.

Last one should be: "The amazing guy who wrote pretty much the entirety of Nintendo's golf game. For Kirby, on top of cheering everyone on as a producer, he ended up doing programming too."

The examples on the page are all at the same lightness, so you only see a slice of possible colors. The main point it's trying to show is that HSL's notion of lightness is rather useless. When it's trying to generate some bac

AFAIK, before the war on drugs, civil forfeiture had seen significant use during Prohibition, against cars used to transport contraband. Which means most of the targets would have been white bootleggers. But I'm being pedantic. I do ag

Calling it "cosmetic damage" is ridiculous. The screen's entire purpose is to be looked at. Cosmetic damage to the screen is functional damage.

It's PaNNini, not "panini". Two Ns together, three Ns in total. Pannini.

Humans are already perfectly capable of controlling engineers that are smarter than they are, so I'm going to say yes.

I am astounded by the fact that this "provocative" new theory is based on extremely simple and trivially verifiable facts. How many times have I heard, even here on HN, claims that the high incarceration rates are due to the war o

People loved me when I let 2.5% die of starvation but ended up with almost 11 acres per person, and hated me when I kept every single person fed but ended up with 8 acres per person.

It still seems completely unnecessary. The standard way of turning people down nowadays seems to be to smile and say "sure, we should get lunch one of these days, you can contact me at my email/IM/Facebook/whatever"

The key difference is that the Mathatron was not reprogrammable, according to that link. It would come preprogrammed with some programs in ROM, and that was it.

Off-topic, but I found the example conversation a bit jarring. You know how in advertising photos people are incredibly excited to be eating salad, yet real life is nothing like that? The conversation in the screenshot sounds like made-up c

This is worthless unless they correct for age. Which they most likely don't, since age is not even mentioned in the post.
