Seconded, I'd love to see this as a library. GitHub it maybe?

I'm really glad that he weighed in on the topic. While it wasn't a statistical tour-de-force like some of his other writing, it was really nice to read a well thought out piece on the topic. Everything else I'd found online was really noisy

I'm with you most of the way, I think that most of us on HN have more freedom than what alot of people would consider slaves, but I think you're ignoring the coercive factors of economy and society. I think that people can be placed in comp

Pirate radio stations have been operating for a while and people are rarely charged with a crime. This guy from Corpus Christi handled it like hell. When he talked to the FCC agent he admitted that he was running the CB station. The agent n

It does certainly look like that, but I think that this could turn into something alot cooler, something alot more than Dropbox. I'd imagine that this will stay Ubuntu-exclusive and will start to act as a 'your-computer-in-the-cloud' sort o

Branching! The way that git deals with branching is great. I'm a real fan of the way that it lets me context switch. This feature isn't a result of git's distributed nature, but I think it's worth switching VCS's for. One of the advantages

I'm glad someone mentioned this. MeFi has done really well and certainly hasn't lost steam since requiring a paid account. If HN were to go in a paid direction I think the posts and comments should be available to anyone (a la MeFi).

Thanks for posting this. I know it's three-ish years old now, but I still hadn't heard of it.

This is awesome. I really enjoyed having Wifi on my rides into Boston from Worcester. Hopefully it gets a little more reliable; I had trouble with it a few times.

I'm really disappointed with this article. It slams 'organic' farming and says that those methods lead to lower yields but it fails to explain why or cite any sources. Seems like journalistic troll. Coversely, I hope we can have a good disc

I started using Emacs a few months back and I found that having a keybinding reference next to your computer is super handy. So long as you know what you're trying to do, you can just look it up and do it. After a while the commands will be

Hmm... The software apparently didn't pass the Turkey Test. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001075.html

I think it could work, but I think it would have to marketed differently. Right now it seems aimed towards the twenty-something web developer who might be more casual. I think there's an equally large opening for a device like this marketed

This is great! The way the post is worded, I thought I would disagree, but I think that community policing is a great way to deal with problems. The court system seems okay at handling large problems, yet fails with petty crime. An anarchis

I don't think its about lowering labor costs. A highly-skilled foreign born worker can still command as much as his native born counterpart. I do think that this is about retaining talented workers and bolstering our knowledge-centric econo

As much as choice is a good thing, I don't think that the default should change from being Google. Mozilla gets a huge amount of money from Google for directing searches there. The money they make by doing this lets this great open source b

I use TextMate because it just goes. The defaults work great for me and it has builtin support for 90% of what I want to do. I was a big Aquamacs user, but when I stupidly lost my .emacs I just couldn't justify the time it would take to reb

I'm surprised that noone's really talking about money here. The Bay Area has one of the highest costs of living of any city in the country. That means its going to take that much more of your time to work, to make money, and to live. If you

This book is great. It's by no means written in plain english; It's definitely an academic text, but Shriram does a wonderful job of explaining how programming languages can be implemented. Certainly worth a page-through for any hacker.

I'll admit, I'm a bit spooked that that all of my work is going to dry up suddenly because of the big bad recession. But I haven't noticed anything yet; I still have contract work and people pestering me for a resume. How's everyone else do

While keeping vast amounts of data in your head isn't worth it because of the internet, it is certainly still important to know this stuff off the top of your head. The more that you keep in your head for later means that you have more info
