   I grew some wonderful Habaneros last summer. It was a variety from Seed Savers Exchanged called Mustard Habanero. Hotter than hell, but the split second before the heat kicked in, you were treated to the most wonderful, smokey pepper flavor

   That's an important clarification. The article is eager to make a sensational statement, offering a clever bait-and-switch claim in the first paragraph. It starts out mentioning signups... "If the launch day signups and traffic were somethi

   Alternatively, to avoid labeling the JSTOR downloads as a hack, which has different connotations for Harpers' readers and the public in general as it does here.

   This is a very intelligent, informed summary of the mounting case against the prosecutors. The author minces no words when describing Ortiz' and Heymann's strategy of charging Swartz with a battery of preposterous charges with the express i

   I work part-time as a barista, so I'll offer this version of the rule: The Barista's Headphones Rule Wearing headphones while ordering your drink? * No headphones, you get your drink as you wish * One headphone, I make your drink and shoot

   I think the authors misunderstand the art of teaching in some fundamental ways. While discussing the many obstacles to entering the teaching profession mid-career, for example, they claim that courses on adolescent development or lesson pla

   For the most part, these don't seem like the sorts of CMSes that generally appeal to the HN crowd. I can't put my finger on what exactly it is about them, though...

   Funny you should bring up taste. I spent some time living in Buenos Aires, Argentina--another city shrouded in a perpetual smog--and had the misfortune of discovering this sooty, dusty flavor for myself. I noticed that the dry beans and gra

    I feel like paving the cowpaths is all well and good, but there must be some room for innovation as well. Let's take Dropbox, for example. Sure, it stands out as the de facto file synchronization and cloud storage service in use today, but

    For me it's less an issue of stigma and more a question of convenience. I use DuckDuckGo for almost all of my searches anyway, and having quality content from Punchfork integrated into my search results is much more convenient for me person

    I rather liked Puchfork for its integration with DuckDuckGo and overall higher quality of recipes (and better design!) than other recipe websites. Unfortunately, I'm far less likely to go to Pinterest for my recipes now and will probably ju

    I wrote a very similar script several months ago, and it also took me longer than it should have. What kept me from doing it quickly was this nagging voice in the back of my mind telling me that there must be a better way to send a message

    It would be interesting to see an API museum arise. Not just a prose history of APIs, but a history that is accompanied by "snapshots" of said APIs at given points in time.

    Is it a safe assumption, though, that in the future writers will have the tools needed to more easily and cheaply present their stories in this manner? We are already seeing tools such as Mozilla's Popcorn Maker ( https://popcorn.webmaker.o

    I think it would actually be really interesting to see which sites solicited the most visits and which were judged solely by the image presented. Perhaps that would show some gradations between "obviously bootstrap" and "obviously not boots

    I love this as a pedagogical tool. Composers and hackers have a lot more in common than many folks realize, so to teach the basics of composing in a familiar language makes a lot of sense. That said, where do we go from here? Many of the ch
