I enabled the guest account on my Mac, but auto-login in non-admin account is a good idea.

Of course the forum can't control that and neither can your bank, but out of the two, only the bank should care and implement two-factor auth. It doesn't matter if your knitting forum account is hacked into, so two-factor auth is overkill.

The solution to that is not to add two-factor auth to the forum but to fix the problem at its source, with a password manager or something like that.

Note that this hasn't changed in a long time. Meaning: they'll never get to release them in bulk. "If a username you would like is being used by an account that seems inactive, you should consider selecting an available variation for your

You don't get high quality service at only $7.99/month. In my opinion, this is a problem with Hulu Plus and Netflix: it's too cheap. Unlimited access to a catalog of movies should/could be more expensive. That could possibly allow them to h

Indeed. I was familiar with the purple but I went straight red and got 3.14/100. Turns out, the color was changed in June 2008: http://www.thewwwblog.com/yahoo-logo-changes.html

"It is absolutely essential for each user to have UID that doesn't change and is consistent for the life of the account." I agree and that's actually been a problem with Twitter. They do have a unique ID for each user. The problem resid

If that helps, I made a Spotify playlist for some of songs of the 4 different sessions (17 out of 34) that were linked by jeroen: http://open.spotify.com/user/timotheeb/playlist/05rxkOr1UWrP...

For people interested, I made a Spotify playlist with as much of these songs as I could find (only 17 out of 34): http://open.spotify.com/user/timotheeb/playlist/05rxkOr1UWrP... Admittedly, I might not have always picked the exact version

It's definitely challenging. One part is actually meeting people with whom you click. Unless you go to a lot of meetups and similar events, overall, you won't be meeting that many new people besides co-workers. And meetups tend to have a th

"Whoa. I would never want to be acquaintances with this person." Thinking of specific numbers is very cynical indeed, but I agree with the point made though. For example, there's a former colleague I've had a few lunches with, every 3-6 m

So what's going on here? I have been trying to follow along but I'm confused why anything happens. There's a test button that calls ThreadProc_dbg(bug) which then calls test(result), which in turns has some assembler code commented out and

But I don't know what "zoom" means in the context of a window. And the inconsistencies of my experiences with various apps didn't make it clear either. (e.g. the infamous mini-player for iTunes) As for Shift-Click I tried it with Chrome and

Not sure… I had tried Backblaze last year and had the same problem as yours: after a few months I was still not done with the initial backup, so I cancelled. A few months ago I figured I should give online back-ups another try and I signed

You can then add suspenders to your belt: sign up for multiple backup services. E.g. I have Backblaze and Crashplan. $3/mo for Crashplan and $5/mo for Backblaze give me two unlimited backups.

The ghosting on the first quote and the logo is really hurting my eyes. When reading further down "clean typography", I had the same thought of "how can this guy's opinion on this be trusted?". Before Svbtle, Dustin Curtis had a few posts w

"2. A "messages" app (which abstracts out two different message systems)" Is the abstraction a plus or a minus in your opinion? I'm asking because on one hand you're asking for a unified communication app, but on the other, the way you wr

I'll say that I tend to be self-conscious about saying "the best school", but it is what it is, right? And, looking at how little it's been serving me over here (in the Bay Area), I should at least be able to say it in a random HN comment…

Don't get me wrong: I'm not blaming you. I think a lot of people, if not most, are insecure or at least unsure about their accomplishments. I feel that it's not really discussed: you might receive kudos from the family, but they're often ou

Oh, rundmc is Dave McClure? I missed that on the first read. Even though I know he's behind 500Startups, I just didn't even think that he could consider himself a failure. I started to write a comment saying that "the author" was far from b

It's going off-topic, but this is something that has impressed me a lot in the growth of the network: by being part of Svbtle, that means you're leaving the design of your blog and your homepage to Dustin Curtis's design, besides a color an

It could certainly be some other factor. It's just that I can't really think of anything besides 4th of July tomorrow, but I'm not convinced that would have such an effect. Some stories are still getting a lot of upvotes, so it doesn't look

This post feels a bit too much self-congratulatory. "look! I'm a great developer! And if you're one too, upvote!" For one thing, the problem is that it's not a simple dichotomy of great developers vs. average developers. I have nothing to b

I've been having a similar problem with the added difficulty* that I don't do development as my full-time job (yet) and have been coding mostly for developer contests and hackathons. So when I start something that has a deadline in 24 hours
