The vector map demo on the page has a serious issue with street names not showing up until you zoom way in, so far in that you can't see the context of the street anymore. I assume this is for performance purposes, but it makes the map

I believe that a large factor in how it works has to do with the average karma score of the voters. (Visible on your profile page). From what I have been able to determine the higher your average score the more weight your votes have, and t

Awesome concept. I definitely want to try some of the recipes. There is more behind "behind the scenes" information about how Watson's recipe algorithms work on the IBM website: http://www.ibm.com/smarterplane

I downloaded the app and tried to open it but I got a message saying "Framer Generator is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." Edit: It looks like Mac OS X is rejecting the apps signature. I was able

Many of the developers in this community don't care that much about Agile development as a concept, because we are startup devs that prefer to work in a company that only has 3-5 devs total and doesn't need a fancy named system to

This comment from another HN poster does a good job of describing the difference between components in React and "components" in Ember and Backbone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7738511 Long story short, R

That is pretty interesting. So using Fora you can jumpstart a new app by defining all your data models, and then select a bunch of components to build a skeleton view that makes use of those models? If so this will be very useful, especiall

The best interface for a react UI component repository would be something that had information like: * A picture of what the component looks like * How large the component is in KB * Which CSS frameworks it requires or support

Heh... was just in the process of updating my comment with Bower when you replied. I agree that this could work with Bower as the package manager. However, it would be more convenient if there was a distinction between packages that are des

I really like the core concepts of React, especially the way it is designed to help you organize your code into reusable components. I think the key to making React take off is building a centralized repository for components that are open

Visit Noisebridge: https://www.noisebridge.net/ I stopped in on my last visit to SF and it was amazing... So much activity and fun hackerish things going on. You'll love it I'm sure!

The key to fast startup development is packages. They are also a great tool to learn a language quickly. My personal technique is: 1) Type into Google: "Package manager for Ruby/Nodejs/PHP/Python/etc" 2) Find a

Yet another disgusting misuse of legislation by the dealership industry. I hope that Tesla is able to get enough last minute representation to ensure that this does not pass.

Very cool... One critique I have is that you should respect the aspect ratio of the album cover art. At my typical browser dimensions the album art is very screwed up: http://i.imgur.com/5yKPIjZ.jpg

The "Use small icons" option used to be there, but I don't see it anymore. I think that they removed it.

Good point. Yeah I agree that is a nice feature. Now if Firefox just kept the shrinking of inactive tabs like they currently have, but reduced the size of the back button, and reduced the extra padding around the address bar then they could

On the contrary, Firefox actually has less drag space: http://i.imgur.com/atYV8Xo.png If you count it by pixel there is 10px of window drag space above the tabs in Firefox, but 11px of window drag space in Chrome. So techni

Overall I love the redesign, but I wish they would have compacted the top chrome a bit so it matches the height of other major browsers. Firefox has slightly taller chrome for no good reason, as seen in this picture: http://i.img

Let me switch this around and ask why have user names at all? Most sites these days allow you to log in with your email address as your "username". At that point you should be able to choose whatever you want as your display name.

The hacker mindset is to do things just because they are possible. Efficiency and benefit are rarely as important as the pure joy of creating or doing things just because you can. Ruthless efficiency comes into play once you are the owner o

This looks really useful. I may take a stab at creating a Node.js encoder later today. If it can integrate nicely with Express and/or Restify and use content negotiation to allow the client to specify when it has support for Tamper the

Seeing as how the other camera on the rover did not capture this "light" (as seen clearly in this GIF: http://i.imgur.com/LQa9PLU.gif ) it seems pretty safe to assume that this is just an artifact caused by a tempo

My understanding of Apple's business model is that they plan to make most of their money from the 30% commission on in app purchases, and their share from media sales made through iTunes. The sale of the hardware is just a way to get a

Does anyone know where or if the full list can be found? I have a Coinbase account but I don't see my name on the abbreviated list. I suspect that the person who made this Pastebin just ran a huge list of known leaked emails, or dictio
