I don't use debuggers often, but am glad they are available when I actually do. If a running program is like a lab rat running through a maze in the dark, then using print statements is like placing bells on tripwires in select places in th

Obviously it has failed to received widespread adoption to date, but I've always thought that the hashcash concept was technically sound, and generally applicable for both web and email. http://www.hashcash.org/

I used to use http://twitter.com/newsycombinator/ but then became dissatisfied with its choice of links, so I made my own: http://hn.purepistos.net/ which takes http://news.ycombinator.com/active and filters for a minimum vote count (

I've thought the same thing. Why isn't there a system that requires a small inconvenience or effort before a particular transaction goes through? Example: I go to buy something online, but before the money really goes from me to the merch

"reduces the value of old people" This phrasing really sticks out for me. You have value by virtue of being a human being. If the society you are a part of ever comes to lose sight of that, your very life would become endangered. ("Not c

Last I tried RMagick, it leaked significantly. Definitely not something I want to use in a long-lived process. I remember having to fork to use it, to work around the memory leak. If you don't need the fancier operations, there are lig

I've been a Dvorak user for over a decade, and have never turned back. However, I think the only reasons to switch are (one of): physical problems, and geek factor. I didn't get much of a speed boost, and I didn't have any pain or anythin

Ditto. I guess it has to do with what you use FriendFeed for. In my case, news updates, RSS titles, and Twitter-plus-more.

Just wanted to mention that I am a happy Freckle user. Good work. Just add in the ability to mark items paid or unpaid, and Freckle would be just about all I want out of a time tracker. (With paid/unpaid, I would be able to see what I ca

Well, it is listed here: http://www.siggraph.org/asia2009/for_attendees/technical_pap... "Friday, 18 December | 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM | Room 301/302" Not sure what to think. Maybe they're writing in past tense in the same way sports sit

I tried tig for a while, but found that it didn't suit my style of git interaction. I often use git add -p, and [repo-wide] git diff. It doesn't appear that tig provides equivalent functionality. It also was a poor usability match for my

(Really sorry if this is already discussed, but I don't have time to read 300+ comments in depth) How about allowing users to set two thresholds for themselves: (1) show only comments above X; (2) begin greying out below Y What precisely X
