Another vote for Upton Tea. Great place.

Neat article. For those like me that struggle getting 170 degree water for green tea, I found a good trick which is to just put an ice cube on top of the tea, and pour the hot water on top of that. That prevents singeing the leaves that

Just found: http://fantom.org/doc/docIntro/WhyFantom.html Nice language syntax wise, seems pretty nice. Prime unique feature is the ability to run on a JVM or the .NET runtime. It also provides a base layer of objects to replace java.

any one else notice that the standby time on the Macbooks is substantially better than the pro's? I actually wish I had my old macbook just due to this reason. I could leave it on standby for a day or two and come back with a minimal dra

This makes me very happy, thanks!

There already is apn_on_rails which I've used with success. It would be interesting to learn why this gem was written instead of using that one, it's been around for ages.

If his prospective employers were looking for coding skill, I'd agree - but he's not a coder.

Looks great, but It's more of an 'EngineYard-like service for Django apps'. Heroku does this marketing / technical trick where you don't have machines, just ruby running in the cloud. No servers to reboot or configure, just X$/mo add-on

I enjoy helping people a little, usually recommending good usage guidelines (IE:Use Chrome, a Mac, gmail). It's actually a great "usability" process to watch people solve their problems and figure things out. A big help is to watch peopl

Really? The feature's been in iTunes 9, and well, I'm a mac guy but #1 on HN?

A) Tomatoes are a must grow and pretty simple. The taste of a tomato that never touches refrigeration is almost a different fruit. Easy to grow in a 5 gallon bucket on your deck or wherever. B) Carrots are my favorite fresh. I can't be

I completely agree. I just find it funny that new science appears and everyone's moaning about the impact of the creationists argument!

by KingOfB 16y ago
Creationists? Everyone should jump on challenging carbon dating. If we can measure variance inside of 33 days, and that's extrapolated over a few millions of years, that could skew the numbers a bit. But I bet the ballpark of neutrino's

A wiki just doesn't seem aligned with HN to me. It's a place to post links, not generate content. What are you trying to achieve? I just do the following: http://www.google.com/#q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+topic I guess if posts c

Great work, was fun till the spammers showed up. You leaning towards open sourcing it or selling access to chat servers?

The title to the article is a total troll. The real interesting factor is that an 'upper class' has evolved that reduces birth rates in exchange for power (education/money). The underclass has always been there. It might be interesting

The drive is incredibly impressive. The kids 17! You can use math to water down time spent to gain any result: Kid plays quake through middle school to determine he wants to learn computers so he tinkers 6 hours a day through high schoo

Hah, thanks for the link! I just wrote a quick app to flirt with my girlfriend. Multiple choice questions with no wrong answers are hilarious. Punched in her phone number and waited for a callback. Ok, maybe that's sad, but hey.

I watched that and kept waiting for it to be funny. Then I went to reply "That's not funny" and realized the genius of the clip. Well Played Sir.

Great advice. David Ramsey has a bunch of material on getting out of debt and basic money management. It's amazing this isn't skill #1 we teach in school.

Are they helping out anyone or just people that complain loudly? My gmail has been killing me lately.

I don't mind the clips, it's the D8 Intro music that makes me want to kill.

I agree to some degree. I feel like this guy thinks he's playing sim-city and setting the population growth rate. Tell me he doesn't remind you of the domestic advisor!

Anyone find any good graphs about population growth? I asked wolframalpha and was pretty dissapointed, google found this article which I found interesting. Second graph in particular. Seems at 1000 and 1400 there were some drastic grow

My understanding is that most "public" data is not copyrightable, so scraping it is fine. For instance, scientific data is public, but access to databases can be charged for. What Macy's phone number is is public information, but Yellow
