It would be awesome if they posted this in a real text format rather than lots of slides with (sometimes) very small text. I highly recommend the read, very interesting. Their blog has an excellent article ( http://www.hackers-with-attitude

Although this topic is frequently discussed on HN, and the portion about document stores is well-hashed, I found the tidbit on binary assets/file uploads very interesting, as I had only used disk before.

Yes. In fact, it is not limited to third-graders. I once sat in a class of intelligent undergraduates taking first-year Chinese. These were people who could format APA citations on hand-written exams. When asked to write a paragraph in Chin

Yes. You can apt-get or ports as many well-reviewed opens source packages are you like without problems, but when was the last time you downloaded any Windows shareware/freeware? But for a normal person who wants to make a photo album or bi

Design isn't merely taste. That you can't immediately rule out half of them says you don't really know what you want the logo to convey. Some of these logos say "playfully campy," some "serious" and some "5 year old with clipart." We can he

In 16th century England, after a book had been printed, someone would go in and draw pencil drafting lines marking the text area and the text baseline as was done before hand-writing a manuscript.

There are two different phenomena here, one they studied and one you've observed. There are intelligent but different people who experience some social rejection but have their own interests and eventually come around to being accepted afte

Yeah, you can't just combine two keyboards or the sequencing and modifier keys are off. Isn't it ridiculous that we can make tablet computers but keyboards are still run with this ridiculously old tech? I'm not sure how hard it will be to m

Awesome idea- I definitely envision a training or keyboard-visible mode with translucent letters showing you where the keys were and some kind of visual feedback of where you were touching.

How often do you read a label before switching on a light? I work at a building that has a big panel of them, and I still just flip them on and off until it looks right rather than read the label. When it's a matter of handed-or-maimed, don

So now toys can be operated directly by sugar-filled drinks without the intermediary small children? This is what scientists would call shortening the food chain.

See the HN-famous books "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs," "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming," and "On Lisp." The claim is that Lisp is a language at a higher level of abstraction. You will have to study ha

I understand that this has an "adverse" affect on those who use these programs, but any taxes have an adverse affect on any commerce. Is there a reason why other transactions should be taxed and these shouldn't?

Come on, can we please stop using the high school test comparison or explain why there are such dramatic differences. The countries listed higher on there tend to have draconian centrally-run school systems which only allow certain portions
