Now our vocabulary grew past the basic white-red-yellow-green-blue-black separation and I believe it will keep growing. I say this because I consider cyan and magenta to be new ramifications of that spectrum, both colors are well recognized

I think we will never know. Just in case, if you ever wake up in the middle of the night with that (supposedly) legendary name back in your mind, could you please tell us? :)

Step 1 doesn't need to be that appetizing if the cost of building the decoy is low. Any benefit, as little as it may be, is already an advantage if it covers that cost. About the attention-seeking behavior, we can compare it to the same beh

We often hear about how long mammals' or birds' characteristics took to evolve, I'd like to have a grasp of the scale of time we're dealing with when talking about tiny creatures like these. I have absolutely no idea of the time that is nec

I think that implying the spider is actually able to recognize itself is a little too far. It would require a level of awareness comparable to that of apes and dolphins. Not even dogs are able to recognize themselves when put in front of a

I think it's a fantastic idea. The most difficult things for me to learn were always those which I don't know how to apply or those which I don't know where they came from. You can't reason over something that seems like magic.

Nice explanation, thank you. I was indeed wondering if having something like a statefull procedure (if I can call it this way, this is a fairly new concept to me) wouldn't make the code more complex; I didn't actually notice that the state

That one was my favorite, I spent half an hour uncovering the picture of a kitten. Sadly it was not a koala as advertised. It's comparable to bubble wrap IMO.

Some nights, when I lay on my bed trying to sleep but my mind is still racing, I try to calm down by counting or something that requires concentration in order to forget everything else. I noticed how I cannot count without having another t

Nice reading. The catch-22 mentioned in the article ringed a bell to me. I'm prone to analysis paralysis whenever I need to choose a name, especially if I start thinking about these kind of things. Seriously, it's been about four months sin

On the other hand, even getting Google to remove obviously inappropriate content from their services such as child pornography is a pain in the ass. I've been trying to report some blogs hosted under Blogspot on the last two weeks, but thei

Anecdotes like yours are one of the main reasons I read HN. Thanks for sharing. Now back to the subject of the thread, kudos to the author. Every time I try conveying an idea into a poem I get stuck on the sounds of the words; it's rather h

-i mixes the header and the body of the response into one stream. If you want only the header it won't help.

A better way to view only the header of a response is using the flags -o to redirect the body and -D to redirect the header of the response. When I want to print only the header to stdout I do curl -o/dev/null -D- http://www.example.c
