YES. This is one of numerous sites that I love that I flat-out don't read because of a lack of full-text RSS.

We're not talking about skills that have fallen out of use over generations and therefore stopped being passed down. The people that used these machines are generally still alive and the younger ones are still part of the workforce. Also, a

It's funny how many of these ads are aimed at "normal people", while "normal people" today would be considered completely incapable of operating machines as (relatively) user-unfriendly as some of these.

Some of git's learning curve reputation is historical. Some good effort as been put into making git less arcane.

Sky falling? No. I do expect that there will be some short-term pain. iOS device owners are pretty well conditioned to expect low app prices from the App Store. Eventually, though, users will adjust. The App Store will have the software the

No, I think a nineteen foot monitor is already taking a good thing too far. But please post a pic of the office that fits it.

I'm not surprised it's not higher, as people of that age bracket are increasingly staying at home and delaying their move out of the parental domicile. I bet if the numbers were 25-29 year olds who had all left home, it would be significant

Keepass is brilliant and supported on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I have one super-strong password that I've memorized that encrypts my KeePass database, and then I use Keepass to generate and store random passwords for me.

For a company that was legendary for their perpetual "beta" web apps, they sure do increment those release version numbers on their browser awfully quickly.

The ability to create your own personal walled garden of content topics is key. Sometimes I forget how strange and meme-obsessed Reddit is until I find myself at the front page while logged out. "My" front page is a much less silly place. M

I'm moving from California out to Austin, Texas, and the one thing that I am dismayed over is the lack of FIOS in a tech community like Austin. It comes as little surprise that Austin is pretty much smack dab in the center of the biggest "r

>> Most frequent sports analogy: "utility infielder" That's funny. If I were using sports analogies about myself or something I was working on, I wouldn't use one that essentially means "bad hitter".

No no, not 13. I said 14. Nobody's coming up with 13. Who makes a web design in 13 minutes? 14's the key number here. Think about it. 14 days in a fortnight. 14 - the atomic number of silicon. 14 stations of the cross. 14, man, that's the n

Like I said, I've only gone up to GT5: Prologue, and not the actual GT5 release. But I found that I could take corners at ridiculous (for a simulation) speeds with street tires on and every available "assist" disabled in GT5: Prologue. It w

Get your kid a 360 (if you lack one) and Forza Motorsport 3 instead. The driving model is superior to Gran Turismo (at least as of GT5: Prologue, which really disappointed me as an old GT fan) and the interface is not the hell described in

"Give your variables meaningful names" is good. But attaching a remedial Hungarian notation-style type indicating letter to the front of the variable name is not. Especially in a dynamically typed language!

Had I gone to 8th grade in 1895, I would be familiar with all of the anachronisms. Also, some of the questions are clearly lists that, were this "real", would be taught by rote memorization. The sort of thing you would be able to chant ba

I really wish Github charged by users and disk space only, and quit with the private repo count limit added on top of that. We wanted to use Github at the (small) company I work for, but we have tons of tiny, low-traffic repos. Since Github

I downvoted. I knew the context. I also know the community here. On HN, I downvote that comment. On Reddit, I leave it alone or perhaps upvote it. On Slashdot, I probably make the joke myself if I'm the first one to get to it. I appreciate

Quicksilver or something similar is a must. I have become SO much happier with my desktop environments since embracing Quicksilver and Gnome-Do.

Labradors are special dogs. There are many excellent dog breeds out there (and great mutts too), but the Labrador's "people skills" are almost unmatched. We've had Labradors and other dogs as well. Some of the other dogs were perfectly happ
