I think it wasn't what the group was and more what it wasn't: she no longer had to deal with having to laugh along with sexist and racist jokes, and all the rest of the issues she wrote about in the post. That's how I interpr

Wow, I didn't think the EFF were this… misguided. > 2014-11-04 : Snapchat app has audits from an internal security team. That being enough for the "yes the app is audited" tick, plus CryptoChat looking to any passer by of

I imagine we will never agree on this, as it sounds like our opinions could not differ more. To sum up with an example though: a few elections ago I voted for the political party who had stated that they would raise my taxes (in particular,

You'd hope it was because you considered your country (and the world as a whole) a community where we all help each other out, and treat each other how we'd like to be treated. The implication of "user pays" is that the

Carlin is really good. To the non-Americans out there, push past his movie trailer voice, it doesn't mean it's tosh, he is actually rather good.

I had similar problems and moved to Google Play. They still have massive gaps, but at least for me they're less massive? Play also lets you upload tracks, which I confess I haven't done yet, but I should.

So I've gone the other way: everything that is distracting (fb, twitter, reddit, ideally HN but android apps suck for this) is on my phone. Then, my computer is for work, and my phone is for being bored. That way (in theory) there is n

That sucks man. I used to work at a client site where they wanted us to list all of the tools we used (as software developers) because they didn't want us to use these "computers" that we were using, in their offices on their

So I was a Java developer from 2006-2012. I still occasionally touch Java at work. Off the top of my head, right now, in this text box, without google, I can't write the code to copy standard input to standard output. System.out.printl

Krapp's right, but to clarify: PHP that generates HTML that uses jQuery is getting replaced with Angular that talks to the server via a REST interface written in Scala / Spray.

At my job I maintain some PHP that we are slowly removing (and replacing with Scala for the backend and Angular for the frontend). My total experience with PHP prior was writing a tiny wordpress plugin a decade ago that added some anti-spam

This has been asked before, but I'd love to hear from a dev (anonymously of course) who actually helped build this NSA madness. Is it like The Cube, where no one really knew what each piece was for? Is it that they are morally pro the

So I'm not American, and so have no idea what you're talking about. Estate tax seems to be something to do with taxing wills? Regardless, doing away with any kind of tax would be equal opportunity, because it's being gotten r

I'm not sure you're on the right (ha!) track here: saying the right wing want to tell people how to behave goes against pretty much everything I know about politics: right wing people want to ban abortion sure, but they also want

Worth mentioning (if it's not obvious) that this is written by the FoundationDb guys, on their site, and so will clearly show a bias toward their product (surprise!, it does!). There is still some interesting information here, but ther

This is such a non-issue. They searched for an actual brand name, and they got branded results. If I searched for "how do airplanes work?" and got a massive Southwest Airlines banner this would be something to complain about. Curr

I don't have millions or dollars (or even close) and I do think that way. All those examples were actually things I've done in the past. Are you American? Is the American healthcare system so bad that you feel you need millions

It's interesting how different people define success. It sounds like Mr. Adams defines success by how much money you have. My definition of success is enough income to allow me to mostly ignore money[1] and instead can spend my days do

I was in the same boat. I spent a good portion of last year trying to use DDG as my default. It never panned out. Google was just more relevant. 99% of what I use Google for is programming related (solving problems, bringing up reference ma

So the fact that it's slow helps yeah, so I imagine slowing it down even more would help even more. And I totally get the tension between doing something cool and removing everything that isn't strictly needed. I'd still ge

Some of us aren't using Safari. Or a Mac. I know, it's a crazy world out there ;-) (but yes, I have a plugin for that, but the rest of his site is great and readable, it's just that one thing)

I was about to complain about it actually (in grand HN tradition). Constantly looping animation beside articles is one of my biggest pet peeves on websites. If this was the front page of your app or service's website, then fine. But I&
