I appreciate that, but I'm not saying I want to be apathetic. It just seems that we should think of something better than a letter. I wouldn't write a letter to an engineer asking them to "please not make the building collapse." I don't h

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why it's my job to write to my senator or congressperson merely to tell them to do their job. I believe this is serious. But I'm looking for a more tangible action than writing an empty letter.

Good tutorial. I recommend checking out this version http://jqfundamentals.com/book/ which is basically a prettier version of the home page. Weird that it isn't linked to from the home page.

Some alternative album covers that are hopefully a show of support for Baio. Copyrights: kind of screwed. http://aptsurdist.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/a-story-by-waxy-o...

Thanks for the info - I'm really surprised I never noticed one of these before. I wonder if it would make sense to just include a link saying something like "what's this?" or "promotion" that linked to a page explaining. I don't mind the

[@PG and the hacker news team: I think it's pretty important to see some indication of supporting votes on these comments. Please keep considering if you want to bring back that feature in some form. Thanks!]

This is horrifying and I don't even know where to start examining the problem. Firstly, how do we trust any news source on a case like this when the press is controlled by the accuser? Second, even if the sentence is 'legally correct,' wh

The thesis being true or not is beside the point - yes, America eats too much sugar. Probably. But the problem about articles like this, and other campaigns to curb "bad eating habits" (like New York City's vendetta against salt and soda)

I took one java class in college, but that was about it when I started learning javascript 3 years ago (along with html, and css). I carried around the OReilly javascript book for the summer - read it on the bus, on the beach, wherever. Fo

I worry that this will just encourage employees to wear fake smiles when they're having a rough day, and to conceal any skepticism about the direction of their program out of fear of what their co-workers might tell the psychiatrist. This

exactly - I think that lifting your fingers is the 'normal' way to type on a traditional keyboard with raised keys. But, I love that when I type on my low-profile keyboard I feel like my fingers are always in contact with the keyboard and

Cool, that's starting to make a little more sense. By gaps I don't just mean the distance between keys, I mean that your fingers actually feel like they get caught in the deep spaces as you slide over them. But maybe that only pertains to

I'm confused. Why do all of these "elite" keyboards still have oversized dome keys that wiggle around, have a lot of travel, and have big gaps in between them. I'm sorry if this just makes me seem like a mac snob, but how could these comp

It's great that Google has contributed to this project. I think it's really important for every community to set aside a little space to recognize this issue and send a clear message of support from gay and straight members alike. It's no
