Yea. I don't see anything wrong with being alone when the right person is not there. Settling is not better than being alone. What I did was worse than that. I had something great and turned my back on it.

This is my response to the blog post that I wrote, Mortality and Dating ( http://pathdependent.com/articles/mortality-and-dating ). It was oddly popular on HN, so I'm submitting the follow up. Although the situation is not very common, I th

I'm also at GMU in the CSS program. I skimmed the PDF after it was recommended by Max or Rob -- I can't remember. Now that I can just buy it in physical form, it's in my Amazon queue. P.S. To people on HN. Sean has a pretty nice LISP tutori

I enjoy when Zed is appropriately flippant (irony intended). While, I don't have experience working for any teams that consider "XP, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall," etc, to be gospel, I can see that being more than "fucking" annoying. That bei

I actually started working on something like this a week or two ago called falsifiable.org. My time is limited but I've thought about the project a lot. You seem to be doing what I want anyway, so please drop me an email for an exchange of

I think catastrophes demonstrate interesting properties of human communications. All of these reports on imminent meltdown are plausible to people ignorant of the plant's design and even those who are experts on nuclear energy . The levels

Actually, I should clarify but I don't like editing titles. I wrote WeightNudge to relieve some personal stress; it does not help other people "destress". The project I've been working on full-time suddenly became depressing, as it forced m

Having a 30 second automatic refresh on the status page can't help. (Edit: Also, my Heroku apps are fine. Makes me feel a bit more secure about multi-tenant hosting.)

Github has been so reliable for me that their website was the last place I looked! When I saw: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly my first response was to check that ~/.ssh was unmolested.

I meant, PG's restriction of spidering HN at the rate of a few pages per minute, not posts limited to PG as the user.

Thanks! I have actually been crawling HN restricted by PG's "a couple of pages per minute" limitation for the past three weeks. This is far more convenient.

The movie is very popular in some circles, enough so that I can understand why the OP did not add more of a description. (I assume he wanted to just tell people that it now exists for viewing on hulu.) The movie is an indictment of the corp

If I remember correctly, there was an officially sanctioned torrent of the movie, a year or so after the release. (P.S. I'm not sure if hn readers who haven't seen it would like it; I thought it was two hours of high gloss propaganda, and I
