   I'm an Aussie who's been living in the US for almost 3 years now and I'm amazed at how different the two cultures are, considering how similar they are :). I think the fashion chains have the name to survive, but it's the little things, lik

   I used to experience "weird vision", which was diagnosed as ocular migraines. I was prescribed reading glasses but was skeptical - my vision has always been perfect. I bought a cheap $20 pair of glasses to disprove that theory, and have bee

   There are a few reasons. There are still a lot of systems that still record to tape, typically in your local minimart, garage, etc. Cameras in malls have a large field of view and cover a large area, so there are very few pixels on target.

    I'm currently working my way through it and I agree. This is my first experience with a Lisp and the book is a great introduction. Great value for money, DRM-free ebook, updated code on GitHub - I couldn't ask for more. Definitely recommend

    I have to say it's a pleasure to read something in this format rather than just another blog site. I think it gives a different feel, a clean-ness, something I can't really explain, that's missing from most websites. Maybe it's simply the t

    I'm about to be a dad, and I've been pondering this topic for a while now. Is my kid missing out on the rapid evolution I experienced? Or was that just the tip of the iceberg? How am I ever going to explain the awesomeness that was getting

    I agree with this - I think a lot of people lurk on HN (like me) and only join when they've got something worthwhile to say. It's when it's all take and no give that it becomes a problem.
