I made a small website because I was so annoyed at UG and co... I’ve kind of stopped working on it though (a bit worried about monetising it as it seemed to be a bit complicated industry in terms of intellectual property). https:/&#x2

I do a bit of Clojure and it feels like manipulating an AST rather than text, especially with structural editing (because code is data). It applies to any Lisp I suppose

I agree about selling the product. My question was about Safari, and why only on Safari users have to pay. Isn't it a bit like having your website say "works better in Chrome"? Don't get me wrong, I am still grateful tha

You could say that the effort is vain, but saying that it "has the opposite effect" is quite a strong statement. I am interested to hear how individual efforts of going vegetarian/vegan are contributing to global warming. And

I am on mac, I used FF when they announced their performance improvement last year [1], and it felt fast at the beginning but then it started to get slower. I can't explain why as it was a while ago and I did not look much into it [1]

I've switched to Safari and DuckDuckGo last week. I can still search on google with the DuckDuckGo shortcut !g when the duck doesn't quack. I tried Firefox but it became too slow. Safari is actually pretty good, for me the main pr

Is it your product? The "get started" buttons don't work. As well as none of the links under "What does Narwhal Offer?"

It's all about tradeoffs, there are no silver bullets. If your class name is like profile-card then it could be simpler... until it's not. Because it turns out that one of your client profile-card needs to behave slightly di

QR code reader? I believe most native photo apps can read them now, it shouldn't hurt to have both the URL and a QR code

That sitereview.bluecoat link hijacked my “back” button (browser history) and I was stuck on the page. I hate when websites do that, please don’t post such links

I've browsed a few jobs and they seem to be mainly US based. Would be great to have that kind of information or timezone, because US companies mostly allow remote workers based in the US.

I recently moved to the UK and I now use HSBC personal + business, it is the worst banking experience. The problem is that there is no real alternative yet...

I don't think scrolling on the video to change the volume is a good idea. I jumped because the volume of the video suddenly changed as I was trying to get around.

There's a good cognicast[1] (podcast) with the author of this editor, he talks about the motivation of making such editors. [1] http://blog.cognitect.com/cognicast/130

When I am assigned a code test for a job interview, I publish my solution on github. It's not a side project, but that's code that I wrote that other interviewers can look at. No big deal

Same here. My 6S quite often freezes. I also sometimes have a network problem that I never had before, no internet connection at all even when I have a full 4G signal, and I have to reboot the phone. Does anyone else experience this issue?

I've been looking a bit more at "top of the week" on alt websites, and a bit less at the HN homepage. I think you can get most of it like this; maybe you could try. (e.g. http://www.hntoplinks.com/week or ht

I am not sure but I think that if you smiled while training your phone you'd still be able to unlock it with any other facial expression

It would be interesting if we could specify a particular face pattern to unlock the phone. Imagine you set up your phone to open only if you smile, now if someone picks up your phone and try to unlock it by pointing it at your face, not smi

If you want to know if something has already been posted on hacker news and are using chrome, I've made an extension for that purpose. It's a reverse lookup that uses algolia search. It's not perfect but I use it daily and so

My Macbook gets really hot as well. It seems to be quite cpu intensive, and the editing is not very smooth. Otherwise, the product looks interesting
