I disagree because this predicate doesn't take in account the backpressure of mediocracy. A mediocracy is when mostly incompetent people are dominating and pushing back people with merit to preserve their domination, culture, ... The academ

There are apparently some readers who are abusing the down votes. The hackernews voting system is not a "like" voting system. It is to sort out inappropriate comments and value informative and pertinent comments.

How am I suppose to know there is webGL on this page and that the problem is the iPad and Safari browser ? What I don't understand are the down votes. What is the problem ?

What about users outside of USA ? What is their status ? I have the impression we are not considered to have any rights from the US perspective.

This is an excellent initiative and has the benefit to cast some light and provide visibility on the Y Combinator startups. They will love that. On the other hand the one dimensional ranking is not a good idea because the reality is that th

My impression is that procrastination may have multiple causes. Some of them are fleeing difficulties like overcoming procrastination which is a vicious circle. My perception is also that the first cause of procrastination is fear of X, whe

If you look for a Golang programmer today, it's more likely you'll find a true programmer instead of a me too programmer. So if you're a true programmer, learn Golang. ;)

They didn't stole the boat, they seized it. Not wanting to sign an erroneous legal document is respectable, calling the DHS stealers is clearly not. Don't be surprize if they won't cooperate to solve the matter ASAP.

The first to file was already the rule, at least in France, and in Europe too I guess. The US just closed a loop hole. An inventor hiding it's invention could invalidate a patent of a third party who may have invested to use it for business

I second this. The gift you have is the drive and passion to learn by your self and explore. Let it go free and you'll become an expert. Soon or later you'll be able to turn this knowledge to profit for you and the collectivity. Our educati

I have the impression you are subject of a typical mild ADD syndrome. Explore that rabbit hole and you may learn alot about yourself and see what people do to handle this. An obvious solution is to just do what you like and you'll be much m

I don't see how trolling can be stopped. Anyone can add a reply to a new discussion and since the reply can be anything, then trolling is easy and there is no dissuasive pressure on it. What I feel is missing is the possibility to down-vote

The interface is a to cluttered for me. Too much noise compared to the signal. The interface of Hacker News is much better in this respect.

The image is a way for the user to "manually" authenticate the server. It's a weak authentication because an attacker could easily get a copy of this image once he knows the user identifier and forge a apparently valid page. The most secure

Now I understand it. I wasn't aware one could append a subscript operator after a litteral string. I also didn't know of the second : role. Thank you. But what do you get if x is 0 ? As I now uneerstand it, you would get "fizzbuzz". Shouldn

Could it be possible to explain what does Print "Fizz" [x%3*4::] Since range is going from 0 to 101 I have the impression the result won't match the directive.

I disagree that Timezone is just a presentation issue. When information is to be transmitted between timezones, you want to be able to determine the locale time of the sender or the information relays. This is why you'll find a time zone in

Agree and thank you for clarifying this. These thoughts made me conscious of the difference in the "truth seeking process" of science and justice. In science, there is a natural and strong incentive to be objective and honest (cf. MIT's ope

This sounds indeed defamatory and Linus was once again too impulsive. Not sure if the target will be as complaisant as his other victims. However the situation is indeed very shocking and Carmen Oritz's public reaction is also in my view ex

I'm really not excited about this new OS. What I'm looking for is an open hardware standard like the PC AT was in its time. What I'm also looking for is a development framework which makes the hardware differences transparent and makes my c
