True. So difference between hacking and just using is sometimes a question of time... Cavemen hacked tree branches into sticks to beat eachother up. Today's version of cavemen just buy baseball bats.

love this joke (just like I loved your post at http://shrughes.com/p/how-to-vote-on-hacker-news/ ) and I agree the word "hack" has become tarnished as of late on HN. I think hardik988 was genuinely asking about how to hack together some

EDIT - just to clarify my POV: It's a terrible thing he did. He probably desserves this. ORIGINAL - probably misunderstood by the downvoters: But I surely hope he did grope her and he was indeed as abusive as she described him to be. Bec

that's what I thought too - she came to the court of HN opinion which maybe not the best for this particular matter but at least all should be fully transparent

Thanks. I am not much of a windows person but I guess if can also use a browser with a XSLT processing instruction. Just didn't think of this when I posted. But thx for the input. Any other good client would be appreciated.

Haidinger's brush may also be seen by looking at a white area on many LCD flat panel computer screens (due to the polarization effect of the display), in which case it is often diagonal. funny I can see this looking right under the very p

This IS nice. I tried it and does come up with good suggestions. A tool which think does a little better on the semantics side is http://nameboy.com . Their problem is that names proposed are often not available (despite) their status a

The two people at the heart of the matter: Noirin Plunket Shirley - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiM6_pCyvMI Florian Liebert - http://vimeo.com/4211288 I'd like them to concentrate on tech stuff more and this stuff less.

With all due respect also, I feel the way you do but if by "flagged", you mean you felt my post should be deleted, I don't understand anymore. Don't you think that topic should be discussed if the problem is to be resolved by, say creating

hehe - just "a bit annoyed" but wasting hard drive space with this long and slightly insulting rant!? you either have lots of time on your hands or are really flustered. I agree, the discussion has lost all meaning at this point. going b

yes but you could do it with a hosted search solution which, can index without crawling if it can be fed xml feeds of old and new posts...

Good for Andy. Burnout happens but acknowledging it is half the battle. Going "back to zero" is necessary when you run fast all day, every day. As a matter of fact, companies should do this too sometimes... Even Robert Redford says it (n

I concur with nkurz here. Inverted index are the basis for most full-text search engines and they can handle this quite well. Another issue with searching a large forum like HN though can be keeping the index up-to-date through crawling ne

What evidence do you have please? Seriously, there are just so many conjectures here. What Al Quaeda fundamentally likes or dislikes for instance, may have nothing to do with the actual reason pushing a young suicide bomber to accept the

What a shortcut Hvs. That's not at all what Jdietrich said. He is just trying to say that this sort of grilling can be more difficult to endure if you ARE a Muslim, and that's a fact no? I think we all agree that terrorism must be fought

I am absolutely not anti-intellectual - more like the contrary in fact. However, I don't see any intellectualism here. As I said, point me to serious research that shows coffee and neural stimulants are just as harmless as each other and a
