My main desktop is running on a 14-15 year old Intel Core i5 750 and I've got 20-30 google chrome windows open each with about 100 tabs (sorry I know... I'll clean them up eventually) and I photoshop all the time and multi-task wi

"WordPress powers 43.5% of all websites as their CMS. Around 478 million websites are built on WordPress" Thanks to Matt Mullenweg's leadership and now you want him removed because he has flaws? Let me guess you want another

Which is interesting because the news and media and movies and music videos can be as "advertiser unfriendly" as they want and still get ads to support the corporation that produces it. But indie content creators and the general p

It's been ~10 years since I reversed my myopia and I'm surprised that it's still a mystery to the medical community. Mine started around 2014 I worked at a law firm and was constantly looking for files up close all day every

You guys are getting downvoted by HN's leftist members. This is why I left years ago and barely post here anymore. It's not you. It's them. So many of us tried to explain to them but they have their own "social justice&q

Ignore them, ModernCSV is perfect and memorable. That's how I remembered it and found it.

Paying customer here. I LOVE Modern CSV, I've been using it for massive CSV files that have 15+ million rows of data. I (same username Chris Norstrom) was the guy that emailed a bug fix on a large CSV with UTF-8 faulty characters I was

I disagree 100% with you on this. You have good points but those very points are the very reason why I'm for deletion and against data retention. "And honestly, I would much rather you not contribute to a conversation if you are

I did't delete all my accounts because I've said something wrong. For the same reason people don't spring clean their home because they're getting rid of murder evidence. It's all about getting rid of the feeling th

What AOL did to Winamp, Lycos did to Sonique. Paid a lot of money for it and abandoned it. Althought Sonique was never that advanced. Winamp was bought by a company in Berlin I believe. It will forever be remembered as the MP3 player that:

I really don't want to say this but, the real names policy does help in terms of trolling behavior for certain communities. When TechCrunch switched over from Disqus to Facebook comments, the amount of trash and trolling was immediatel

It depends on the market in that area. Some markets are growing over the long term, others over the short term. Just talked to a lady a few months ago who bought a home in Boulder, Colorado for about $400,000 and sold it 3 years later for $

Being more risk averse in your 30s? I'll beleive it. But why? Maybe not biological, hormonial, or genetic, but probably because in your 30s your parents are nearing retirement and need your help. You are starting a family and need stab

Xerox has really fallen. Just a month ago I returned a $12,000 Xerox DocuMate scanner because it lacked the features a $500 Fujitsu scanner had. No joke, this is a fallen American company. They outsourced so much of their software developme
