I don't mind sharing my bandwidth for this (I don't have mine capped "literally speaking", but I'm sure there's some invisible limit), but I hope it asks for permission first. I didn't see anything about t

Dated "13 Jul 2013". I'm curious what Linus was like before he created Linux.

Behold, the aftermath of the brogrammer. What was seen here is a particularly insidious, caustic and ultimately, demoralizing and self-defeating attitude from your colleague (and something I've seen routinely on HN). I don't parti

Two things people need to keep in mind when using PayPal. 1) The company functions as an uninsured bank while essentially skipping the label thereby giving itself a legal loophole to function as it pleases. However, unlike a bank, you can&#

I feel like there's a hint of Google in there. Could just be my imagination, but with the exception of the much sharper center gradient divide, it's a close 3D effect. The only other difference is the uneven font size.

Are you from the U.K. or Europe? I'm curious because you used "spoilt" in lieu of "spoiled".

Thank you! No I feel better about it. ;) I have no drawing/structural experience whatsoever, but I'm planning to build a small cabin with a side structure that may have a cool-roof/grass top, but obviously mine will only be 1

Did none of the architects, or even construction people, ever stop to consider that they're essentially building two giant, parabolic, solar death rays? This ties into another pet peeve I have; bloody trees and grass in architectural d

It's not possible the teach these people without encountering a massive, irreparable, hack. Nothing short of complete obliteration of their project through their own incompetence will work because the Dunning-Kruger effect is in full s

People who write similar code are what I like to call low-hanging fruit factories . I'm counting on them to make things as rubbish as possible, as long as they're not involved in any service I use, so anyone tempted to find vulne

I'm fairly convinced, with the exception of a handful, pretty much all the crossing buttons in Brooklyn NY are placebos. I've seen people roundhouse kick the thing (not an exaggeration) and it makes sense to have one that doesn&#x

I thought I spotted the fake on the left because of the small, white, rectangular piece right below the red LED. On the left, the thing is looking much darker. Because there aren't high res images, ironically, it's a bit hard to t

Southwest has internet that costs, I think $8-9, per day per device for internet, but TV is free. They also have on-demand, but that costs extra too. No outlets yet, though. Edit: I should mention, it's been a while.

"Because 90+% of online politics discourse is dominated by trolls." True, but I hope the mods/admins of this don't get discouraged because we do badly need a place to talk about these things. Spilling over here isn'

Suddenly, everything I've done thus far seems rather inadequate. However, kudos for doing this! I hope you haven't stopped working on it. Looks like you've worked on the expected base functionality. https://github.

This is a brilliant! Excellent execution as well and it brings people together to form connections that can last longer than the current exchange. This is what we should be seeing more of on HN.
