Exactly. Your original statement was about laws and training programs that the government should require that will prevent these things from happening. In your two stories, you have a person with a concealed carry permit, and a state troo

I don't understand this argument. There are not numerous cases in the US where people were trying defend themselves with good intentions, but due to their lack of government approved firearms training, they injured someone else. Do you fe

There is certainly news I'm more and less interested in. I still think there is room for improvement over general voting systems like Reddit and HN. Something like weighting votes based on voting similarity between users. I don't know whe

Agree, but let me ask you this. Do you want a personalized news feed of only things you are interested in? They are working on making that and I'm not aware of anyone else trying. It's not there yet but I like the idea.

I've actually found Evernote to be pretty helpful in turning my random internet readings into more long term knowledge. I read a lot of random articles about tcpdump or economics and read them but don't apply anything immediately. In my h

Yes. I highlight text more with a mouse and do more scrolling on a trackpad.

by aero142 14y ago
When people see that I highlight text while I'm reading, they always want to know what practical reason it serves. The simplest answer is that it kind of helps me track the text, but it's less than that. It also isn't quite just a nervous

I see no moral dilemma in the least. There are two problems with doping. First, athletic competition is human vs human and is innately about the limits of human ability. Why prove a human can lift large amounts of weight instead of using

Ok, sorry, 9 days. You're name was green. My question still stands. I still can't imagine a situation where this would be the correct action.

I would love to hear even a theoretical version of this story where pulling the plug so quickly is not a error on ServerBreach's part. Since you bothered to create a throwaway just to post this, you might as well offer some specifics. As

I don't know what this is going to cost EA, but this may end up being a good thing. People hate Origin but more importantly, all their games are already on Steam, so they just continue to buy from Valve. This might get a few people to kee

Thank you tech crunch, I'm now more confused than before. So, what does the homework quote have to do with anything. Either IFTTT is allowed to use the Twitter API or they are not. I don't see how a laziness accusation is relevant.

One question I still haven't seen answered. Are these new zones prohibited from running a drug based export economy? Perhaps knowledge that the US wont' allow it to exist that way will prevent them from doing so.

I wonder if any of the companies that require unique uploads to the cloud service play fast and loose with compression. There is a large spectrum between running a hash over a file to see if it already exists on the server, and doing the s

Speaking of pen and paper... When I was in college, Dijkstra had given a talk for the class a few years before his death, and my instructor passed out his notes. They were on a non-ruled piece of paper with perfectly drawn bullet points fo

If you figure out how to do that without it being an account setting option, you let me know.

Yes, and if you told me it was complex because of either the conservatives or liberals, I would call you an ideologue.

by aero142 14y ago
Agreed. I consider myself most comfortable in Python and I find myself uncomfortable with Clojure's liberal side more often than it's conservative side. I think I still have a lot to learn from and about Clojure but I don't think it fits

I love the idea. As a tall slender person, I'm usually in between sizes and things are never right. For this along with every other personal item, I hope manufacturing on demand gives us all a return to personal customization. One thing k

Oh noes, now I only have a business that delivers groceries to people with lawns. What a tiny niche business:) Seriously though, those are really lame problems. If I could sign up for a service that uses a geofence to find out when I get

Does this flat structure apply to the entire company? Who cleans the floors, does QA, decides when to release a product, does the accounting, waters the plants, answers support calls? Can all of these people move their desks or is it only

I've seen a number of posts on HN from developers saying, "I won't apply for a job if they require a {cover letter, resume, code sample}." Depending on your point of view, adding hurdles could either remove self entitled prima donnas or al

I live in Austin and switched from TWC to U-Verse when it was launched. Many customers also have Grande. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that TWC's long dominance was from some government protection arrangement, but I'm not aware of it.

I feel like this is a very generalizable process. Using randomization and a fitness metric to randomly generate and refine something. Seems like it should have a name a few dozen thesis papers written about it. Anyone know? Also, this se
