You're obviously right about badly formed science, and of course stuff should be verified before it's shouted about. I also have personal experience (well, personal via my wife!) with the whole breastfeeding thing - you're ri

The video looks great and I'd really like to know more. It's frustrating that the website has been down all day, though. Seems kind of odd in the world of Netlify / CloudFlare even if it's been HN'd.... :-/

As I spent half a day trying to wrangle my way through some sass grunt compiler frontend bullshit just trying to update the colour of some links on a client website, I find myself nodding sagely again. In the early days you could view sourc

This is super cool and potentially really useful (and thanks for building it!) One q - I can't seem to click through to a specific date? Is this me missing something or you not making it available? Would seem the next obvious interacti

Read this, did it, felt vaguely appalled. But: seems to me that if you do something unusual (turn off JS, use weird and wonderful browser, hide browser stuff from The Internet) then you make yourself even "more unique". Turning

Um..how’s your web browsing experience with no JS...?

Looks pretty sweet until you get to the $750. I went Nokia 3310, a snip at $65 :-)

Everyone on HN is no doubt sitting there nodding along sagely but there’s also a pretty good bet that 90% of us (nerdy, apparently in-the-know tech types) have done very little to think about cutting down on smartphone use. It’s the single

I don't know if this is what was implied - but my wife and I have always believed strongly that you have to maintain the "hub" that is your relationship in order for the bigger picture - the family - to thrive. My kids (now

Sounds less like burnout and more like “toxic person at work”. Take it to the boss.

It's a good piece (and damn it, book added to basket - that looks ace...) but I think it's confusing to suggest Flash was the [only] creative bit. What was truly creative / inspiring / enabling in the 90's / 00

30 year vegetarian here: I'd say in the UK we've had good vegetarian options for maybe 10 years. Before that it was "have a crappy tomato sauce with pasta" as a terrible substitute for whatever the fleshies were eating.

You guys in the States have it bad. I hear terrible stories about the fear that now surrounds any kind of freedom for kids. Over here in the UK we’re a bit better, but the “give them exams ALL the time” and schools being on their knees, fin

Superb piece, really well written, and a great underlying story about personal change. Brilliant.

61.5 pw free. Work for myself, no commute, kids are 14 and 11 so pretty self sufficient. Run rather than gym (saves travel and fannying about time), don't sleep massive amounts... The default 7 hours a week "grooming"? Wtf?

Agree. It'd be good to be able to unpick the really good ones on there and understand how they were created. I just made nasty looking splodges and then gave up :-/

MailChimp has gone super crappy. It's not just the pricing (the whole "we charge for subscribers who aren't active" thing is just pure underhand profiteering) but the damn UI is an absolute clusterf * too. Finding anyth

Totally agree. But I think the discussion / original article here posed the question regarding kids. Totally up for workaholic-ism if that's your bag (and it was mine when I was in my 20's and childless) - but in the case of

We've made our lives around a "kids first" policy since they were born. We run our own business (together) and consistently and deliberately put this second to our children. We know it's going to hurt in a financial sens

I spend most of the time on writing, editing... And this is the really important point. If developers spent nearly as much time thinking about the important bit: their words / grammar / spelling / structure - as they did ab
