OT, but check out the comments in the code. It doesn't instill confidence: // Adjusts the position of the given element WebDeveloper.Common.adjustElementPosition = function(element, xPosition, yPositio

Congratulations! I've been trying to crack the higher ed nut for a while with no luck whatsoever. And I used to be a professor- I'm solving a problem that I know exists, and that the people I talk to know exists! (I think the p

Yeah, weightlifting is the problem- it makes me hungry. I now do a four-day split: two days weights; two days core-conditioning. I've been pretty good about regular exercise all my life- with large (months) excepted for big change-of

Non-personalized ads won't be lucrative enough to fund the web. Yes they will. They will be plenty lucrative. Banner ads work fine. Non-personalized ads funded TV and radio for decades.

I also see this pattern. I've maintained at least some level of exercise throughout raising three kids, but somehow I have a strong desire to eat , and the willpower required to shed the weight is really all-consuming. When my last

Some people grow. Others dump almost everything on their spouse and a deep resentment grows in the marriage. You envy the good times they have and the stories they have, but not their life as there is obviously a lot a pain at home. Kud

My last child moves out (to college) next week. We'll see. It's been pretty cool raising them, and now that they are young men it's fun and hilarious to get them all together. For a few years it was very stressful, and life

I agree with you. However, my point is that these people don't see the need to create the non-privileged account, even though there is a strong one.

I think this is a valid concern, and perhaps verifiable. How many Windows user actually create a non-admin account to use for their everyday work? I find, anecdotally, that a helluva lot of them don't; in fact, the very idea is forei

I too am quite skeptical, but I do try to find the "best practices" contents in areas where I am new. I find these articles often provide some insight from the perspective of someone who actually has experience (extra credit if

By conversion rates, do you mean clicks or sales? The CTR industry (and by that I mean people who "optimize" landing pages and ads) count clicks- but as the person paying for it I count sales and don't care about clicks.

I recommend everybody do it at least for a while, and go back to it when productivity suffers. It's remarkable how well it can keep you focused- not screwing off when you know you're going to have to write it down if you do.

Excellent! Thank you. (They also promised to remove the info they use to analyze my requests from their servers).

I no longer see a way to turn Siri "off", only to not respond to "hey Siri" but rather the home button. Does this mean she's not listening unless I've activated, or is she listening anyway? (I can't see

People reading an article about a tragedy are no more likely to be interested in background check services than the population as whole. Are you sure about that? New mother, wondering where she is going to find a babysitter, wouldn'

I think we're up to eight (or is it nine?) species now, including Neanderthals, if the latest pans out. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/04/new-speci... https://www.ancienthisto

I remember when they used to also say "secret agents." Then after Snowden that disclaimer went away.

Along these lines, if you are in the US I recommend a local community college. You'll get a solid foundation, you be on the correct pace, and you'll be working with people whose primary mission is to teach you. You'll also

Thanks. And it appears that Ryzen is the brand name they use- zen 3 referring to the architecture- if I'm reading things correctly.

True, but rock star teachers also find creative and effective ways to teach things that are hard to teach. Just like Eddie Van Halen may make playing the guitar look easy to someone who doesn’t play, rock star teachers make communicating d

This is probably where tech will take us. A few "rock star" teachers will teach most of the students the main content, and the current, run-of-the-mill teachers will effectively become TAs. The downside is for the run-of-the-mil

That may be partially a timing thing. One hour after your post, this page (HN) turns up if you use quotes. Now, I agree that it would seem that a smart algorithm would automate the case of "if it shows up on HN, add the source link t

They need to start with a niche, like entertainment. Be the best search engine for gaming or something. That'll get eyeballs, then branch out. Would take some serious marketing, guerilla and otherwise, though.
