I'm your average HN reader and so, I think, somewhat above average in technical matters and the few times I tried using RSS in Firefox it felt awkward and I wasn't quite sure whether I was doing something wrong. The last couple of years I m

Are older blogs being regurgitated? In the past days I've read articles that I'm sure are 90+% similar to ones I've read one or two years ago. I'm on my phone currently so I can't really be bothered to find links to support my case. Mostly

TPB is also blocked by IP address in NL. The dutch pirate party had a specific proxy running which they were ordered to shut down so they're now running a generic proxy. If you're dutch and haven't donated to the "Piratenpartij" yet, please

It is pretty clear by now that the involved corporations and lobbyists will not stop until most of what they want has been implemented by law all over the world. What can be done on a more meta-level to stop them from even trying? So instea

I guess there's no accounting for a person's preferences: I recommended them elsewhere on this page because I love their feel so much :-) Never liked the loud "clickety" sound nor the feel of the Type M keyboards.

One never knows what could come out of it. At the least they sell a couple of hundred or thousand extra accounts. People are ingenious. I can imagine bot hunting parties or a person trying to crash a bot. It would be extra time spend in

I was on a 3 month gig recently coding for iOS and I liked the keyboard that came with the iMac so much that I've bought another one for my main Linux development machine. It does have a numeric keypad but there's also a wireless version av

Xcode doesn't feel very aware of my constructs since there's so much crap in the completion list. It's not totally useless but could be much better.

When I started working with Xcode last November I was planning to jot down every one of my frustrations and make a blog post just like the OP did. However, I decided against it... must be old age sneaking up on me. I do have one additional

There's always VirtualBox for such things, but it might perhaps not run well enough on a slow, old PC.

Yes, a good website that asks me to disable the blocker will get my repeated visits while being able to show me ads (given that the ads are not too obnoxious). A website that just doesn't work with a blocker enabled will be ignored in the f

Milne said that the value of mobile was in predictive behaviour, so you could walk into a café and it would immediately trigger the barista to create your usual coffee. "It think that's going to be a big driver for mobile." Ugh, is that s

AFAIK Slimv is being actively developed and quite usable (although I haven't used it myself): http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2531 Also wrt org-mode: if one called out to Emacs from Vim for exporting to different formats i

Same here, I just finished a 3 month gig building a prototype for a startup on an iPad and I was surprised how often the latest Xcode crashed and how unstable it was. However, in its defense, I never lost work due to it and it always resta

Contrary to how Vim is usually used Emacs users tend to start only one Emacs instance and spawn multiple windows from that. This is because using a single Emacs session has certain advantages (completion, searching buffers, start up time (
