Option isn't a good plan. If you decide that turning off points-display improves the site then you should turn it off for everyone.

Can no longer see even my own points. Don't think that's positive - I like the feedback over what comments I make that people like and which are less well received.

Still happening as far as I can see. Try /newest - there's more green showing there.

There are other methods on Integer and such - it was a contrived example because I was too lazy to read the docs.

In Java int and char are primitive types. They don't provide methods so: int i = 4; i.toString(); //Exception - int isn't a class, so i isn't an object, so you can't call its methods. Integer j = 4; j.toString(); //Returns "4" as

Seems quite interesting, and could turn into an excellent resource. Could do with an 'About' page explaining a little perhaps?

I certainly intend to drop him an email and see if he's willing to share his stuff with an interested compsci undergrad. It's always worth asking - he's probably just doing it for metrics.

You'd be surprised how many people don't read the description in search results.

It is both. You can use it in a fuel cell form whereby you keep the water produced from its combustion, run electricity through it and get oxygen and hydrogen back. Alternatively though, the way hydrogen is turned into energy works if you j

It's the 'y' sound that pronouncing 'u' like 'you' causes. Your rule is too general though. A uniform. An understanding. (note that the u in understanding doesn't have a y sound to start it)

Gap here in the UK lets you put your online order back in the bag, and stick it in the post with a checkbox question of why you're returning it. If all online clothes shopping worked like this I'd switch.

Your HN profile says that you have a high karma and a high average comment score. This implies you know the culture of the site quite well. It would be really nice if you tried to uphold the quality of conversation by avoiding personal atta

Some of the least technically inclined people I know massively prefer Chrome to Internet Explorer. Chrome has a noticeable speed advantage, nags less and within an hours casual use it has their favorite sites one click away when they open t

This is generally well regarded security advice. Its what #ubuntu-server tends to recommend to people if they come in saying their SSH port is being attacked. Simply changing the port greatly reduces the number of attacks, and combined with

I don't think its related to ads clicked necessarily, I never click them, but my results seem to be related primarily to the searches I perform.

Of course. If you create something you want it to be available to people who pay for your work. Paying customers and people who pirate leaked albums are separate groups (though there is significant overlap). I should imagine to most people

However, they have kept the self-created-leak model. They have, quite successfully, prevented this album from being known about until they chose to tell people, and allowed the album to launch under their own terms. The way I see it the pri

I think Open Source development works a lot better where people implement features/fixes that they themselves want/need, at least for the first few patches. This way, you haven't wasted your time by writing the code to scratch your itch bec

I've gone through UCAS recently. 'UCAS Points' are only really counted for the lower-end of universities. Any university anywhere near Oxbridge in terms of reputation or entrance requirements gives offers based on A Level or International

Not necessarily. Try reading " 'brilliant' " as " described by his colleagues as 'brilliant' ", take into account the well respected people that he worked with and its a far higher compliment than the article writer, who is almost certainly

Which of my assumptions makes him arrogant for doing anything? I'm guessing the second one is what you mean. Let's also assume that anything he believes is true is because he has thought about it and is confident that he is correct. he i
