I've been playing the Kerbal Space Program (KSP) game lately; it's funny how when you actively use orbital mechanics, thinking about them is easier. This fourth dimension observation is cool and likely very useful mathematically,

That's funny; for me, it's the one annoyance I have with PHP. I love PHP; there's some really neat modern OO methodology and cutting-edge ideas and best-practices that I'd love to share on HN, for example. But with the P

That recall doesn't cover this item; this item's model number is 440-B, but the recalled ones are "439-A, 439-B, 439-G, 439-P and 439-W".

I can't find any evidence of this recall; how did you find out about it? I guess that's the value of your site?

I'm going to assume you're not being literal, but FYI, I sat on a kidnapping jury that was essentially this. Don't trap people, even for a moment; it's quite illegal.

I own a bootstrapped start-up that seems to fit their profile, but their numbers seem way off to me. They take 80% of all distributions until they're paid back 2X, then 20% until they're paid back 5X. They're offering $100k t

Yes, but the private sector is more willing to restructure in order to become profitable; I never saw a single case of restructuring in 13 years. Instead people were promoted or moved to other roles in the few cases changes happened.

This is a great point. However, what do you do about the gross inefficiencies of a government organization? I worked for 13 years in the public sector and saw first-hand the layers-upon-layers of management and entire management entities, w

Assuming you've never used non-cash, you mean? If your purchase habits are uniquely trackable, upon switching to cash you'd need to modify your purchasing habits sufficiently to disassociate them from your past-self. Good luck!

For me, I'd summarize the need as a "first class bash/zsh environment". I'm fairly certain this cannot happen on Windows, but I'd love to be proven wrong. The reason I switched to linux, then OS X, was as a web

Most people complaining about PHP haven't actually used it in an enterprise environment. Using JetBrain's PhpStorm with a proper framework is simply not the PHP of 10 years ago. One of my favorite features is type enforcement; con

I keep seeing people saying this here and there, including the comments of this article. But I can't find any real substantiation of this carcinogenic claim in Googling. Anyone have something resembling real research?

Yeah, same problem here. At first I thought he had skipped out on allowing you to type the mask, which is the killer feature of a utility like this. Also, when typing into the binary input, it isn't updating immediately on key-up like

Agreed -- the fact that they don't show a single finished item tells me that the quality of the printed part must be extremely bad.
