In a very good sociology course I took in college the professor drew an upside down bell curve on the board. The y axis was risk for suicide and the x axis was social interaction. The extremes of social interactions, very low or very high a

Yes, that wasn't a good submission by me. I aim to do better in the future.

Warning, graphic pictures of dead children in this post. Not safe for mind or work. It is horrifying. Posts like these are why I stopped using reddit, because "surprise! Here's a horrible picture, now feel like shit for the rest of the week

I read daring fireball pretty often and I didn't know this, so no, it's not obvious.

A shallow nitpicking of language syntax. I would rather read about how a programming language fares at solving difficult problems. Not a minor quibble that has no impact on anything other than this programmer's sensibilities. It's the kind

No, it isn't obvious that the listed testimonials are fake.

The testmonials on that site are complete fabrications. Gawker never said "Social Roulette just rewrote the rules for online gaming." nor has it ever mentioned Social Roulette and the Gruber quote also does not exist, only someone tweeted i

Encrypted is not the same as hashed. An encrypted password could be secure as long as the means to decrypt the password, for example the key used to encrypt, is not leaked. Sending you passwords over email however is horrible. If your passw

I am totally with you on this although meta-discussions are usually not allowed. I hope pg and moderators find that there is more value in building a community that talks more about technology and startups than the growing group of single m

Why shouldn't we be afraid of 3D printed guns? I don't like guns and I think the fewer people have them, the safer we are, but what can anyone do about this when you can simply buy a 3D printer and download a CAD file and begin mass produci

Good luck, looking forward to checking out your future posts. Have you tried posting via medium? I bet they would be interested in your posts.

I believe you are wrong. The merge commit would make it look like her changes were in your branch. Try it out with a new repository. Create a new repo. Add some commits. Create Sally's branch, add commits to her branch. Create your branch f

Merge commits are more than just a cosmetic issue. If you have merge commits from pulling master into your working branch you have broken the relationship of the commits which you just merged into your branch from master. Once you merge you

I like Help Scout, but I hope they are getting more than ten deals! I also am not a fan of bending over for customers with features as that leads to bad code, badly implemented features, and isn't scalable. If customers aren't liking your r

SEC investigates stuff like this. So not a better strategy. Who benefits from stocks like this is information available to investigators.

Note I said in case the download attribute is set on the link, in which case, no, it would not require any request, it just follows the instructions set in the HTML.

Browsers (or site owners) could probably do a better job of differentiating links with download attributes. Maybe on mouse over show a little download cursor or something.

Likely because of the soundtrack used. The music added is Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash which limits distribution of the video to certain countries and probably to non-mobile devices. Adding music you don't own the copyright to is probably no

Shopzilla just wants the links removed. This method has probably worked for them. They don't care if HN's never ending stream of daily outrage focuses on them for a short time (before moving on to a new thing to be outraged about tomorrow).

Shopzilla probably has bad links that are driving down its SEO and page rank on Google and they are trying to get low quality sites to remove those bad links. It is totally OK for them to want to have links removed to their site, since some

Personal projects are not startups. I don't know where this falls in, but it bugs me when I see something where someone maybe spent a couple of weeks on it and call it a startup. Have you talked to investors? Have you quit your day job? Are

It's tough making the choice to join a startup while having a kid. I make sure I make lots of time for my daughter whenever I can, but I have lots of late work nights. I try to come home for dinner. I wake up at 4 am to get work done so I d

I used to use splits, then I used tabs + splits, now I just use buffers. The only time splits come into it are for quickfix or diffs. Just get used to buffers. Lots of vim commands will work with buffers but not with splits or tabs. People

It's more than performance, they've also picked up must have features like opening up just closed tabs (cmd+shift+t), and cmd+9 to go to last tab, private windows (used to be all of firefox went private), quick updates.
