I hear they have Cinnabon in Africa; they could even power this thing with tasty pastry and call it Africa-ready.

Well what's the solution? Do you simply redirect all "expired link" GETs to the home page? Should we have a fixed # of 10 first pages (like some imageboards)?

If my HN frontpage were that user-dependent, I'd want to see both. I'd read my HN, but I will definitely browse in Incognito mode just to see the 'real' HN. One has to wonder what draws all these people to sites like HN.

Most of the trouble I've had with spreadsheets boils down to not knowing the (albeit small) language. Writing =B3/B$1*$A$1 is generally useful, don't get rid of that. Emphasize the formatting as a separate concept from the da

I stopped using my iPhone 4 a while ago. I've got a Nokia now. Things are mostly the same, though I was told my voice comes through much better now.

I don't know how schools afford them, they're pretty expensive. $50 is about my limit for whiteboards.

Yeah, that's the one. It was an interesting issue.

I'm very pro-paper. Flipping back and forth in a book (is there any other way to read a textbook?) is just a much better experience than swiping madly or spamming PgDwn. I feel trapped inside that little rectangle of a viewport, wait

Well since Newegg made the money, perhaps TQP was awarded the $45M that Newegg et al made, or TQP was shown to deserve the $45M that Newegg et al made. But you're right, let's be clear: TQP didn't create any wealth here.

Well if you can't get enough hn, build something that lets you read this site faster, better, more thoroughly, etc. That shouldn't be too hard, right? ;) You could add collapsible comments, or sortable comments. Rearrange the fron

I wouldn't take any rating metric seriously unless it accounted for how long they've owned it. Plus there's the difference between "I've owned 12 lawnmowers and this one's pretty okay, only broke down after 1.5

For what it's worth, my brother & I set our mom up with a Slackware machine running dropline GNOME (this was years ago). It was a good thunderbird+firefox combo, very stable. I remember the uptimes past 90 days. She needed some sof

Hmm, that's not the impression I got. I don't think they're arguing you should use multiple encodings willy nilly. Rather, they're avoiding the limit of exactly 1 encoding for every input (maximum flexibility in the sp

What a hilarious test. I'm only surprised there weren't more questions. 10 questions, 16 types?? I came up ICUE, then ICIE, then ILIE (I don't lie, I omit the truth!). Most Meyers Briggs tests come up INTP, if not INTJ or INF

There seems to be something deeply effective about setting arbitrary constraints. Obvious examples abound: haiku, twitter, 80-char code, screenplays in fixed-width Courier, 25-minute pomodoro, text-only man pages. Also, the metronome of pra

I was inspired by a thread similar to this one several weeks ago to memorize a few digits of pi. I don't think it helped me in any way, but I like the imperative to recognize and identify simple patterns. It's just the right mix o

I, for one, think you should do it. But you've got to realize, up front, this will be thrown away, will only work for 1 use case, will be slow, etc. Don't build anything general, or anything reusable. Write in Go. Put everything i
