Oh, yeah. She would never leave me over something like that, but I definitely got the look . If it was a matter of money, I know she would totally understand. But in her mind and essentially every girl I've ever met, it's a diamo

I tried to explain all that to my gf, but she was having none of it. It was either a diamond or hit the road, Jack. Proposed to her last Saturday with a shiny diamond ring, she's now my fiance, so I think it was worth it.

No no no, that's bullshit. A properly designed font isn't just the outlines, it's the outlines + spacing. Type designers spend almost as many hours perfecting the built in kerning as they do creating the outlines themselves,

It's cheeky, but then again it is a project you can show someone. Graphic designers get to make fancy schmancy resumes to impress their potential employers, so why not programmer? Better make sure there are no bugs in it though.

At Radioshack, literally everything is about the profit margin. The store in the U-Village in Seattle is/was one of the top 5 revenue stores in the entire chain, a fact they were proud of when they hired me. I worked there for less tha

Easier in the sense of less data, which would make it faster. One of the issues with encrypted video chat is that most implementations have a max amount of people you can chat with because of the computing overhead.

Wouldn't something like this be easier to encrypt for transmission than normal video? Plus, in the case it comes up, "that ascii representation doesn't look anything like me and you can't prove it was me." I like it

I agree with you about the great content for humans bit, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't still aim to maximize your current traffic through technical means. If it gives you a whitehat traffic increase of even a few percen

I agree. I took one look at their test and thought: That's missing the point. They actually don't care if the title tags would hash differently, they care if the title tags are descriptive of the content in such a way that the pag

Are you saying that a person's copyright to their own music isn't personal property?

I hope that was sarcasm, because that's the most Big Brother thing I've ever read on Hacker News. Don't question authority. Trust Google. Trust Facebook. We'll make the decisions about your personal property in a way tha

I work in a newsroom. Now that investigative reporters are essentially classed as "terrorists" by the powers that be, encryption of email is now a legitimate concern. But I and everyone I've asked say that in an ideal world,

I have the opposite yet same reaction to open office environments. I was always the loud person in the group, and I have a hard time staying out of conversations with others. I try to keep myself to myself, but I know that I distract others

I tried to tell a group of friends yesterday that the N Korean internet could have been brought down by script kiddies. When asked what that meant, I said "hackers" and everyone shook their head in agreement and said "ahh, ha

This was published in January, and look at all the Mars mission stuff that has popped up since. I wonder what a follow up would read like? I'm guessing they're using his Mars algorithm?

I saw this yesterday and shared it with a friend who had introduced me to code golf. Simply fantastic, particularly the comments.

>> It turns out, though, even when you create a UI that lets reporters and editors easily plug in this metadata without having to understand XML, they are not apt to fill it in, because they are just so overworked as it is. Nailed it.

I'm no scientist, but would there be a way to combine this with solar panels to also produce electricity? It seems the goals are counter to one another, but it would really be amazing to accomplish both with one panel.

You need to support Python, Java AND Node.js for this? Sheesh.

How hard would it be to create a fake internet paper trail containing pornography, chat rooms, etc., as is mentioned in the article? It seems that would be relatively trivial for a sufficiently motivated state actor to perpetrate.

Best line in that story: "That's why it's essential to have founders that are truly passionate about the problem you're trying to solve and not just ambitious about its success."

Users that spoof their user agent are likely to either be tech-savvy people who either know what they are doing or who are hiding who they are, like a bot. I'm more worried about supporting older users on old machines who barely know t
