People see batteries as "cheap and disposable". The price tag of $15 for 4 batteries is a one-time hit that most people in the US* don't want to take. You and I both know they will save money over time, and yes, it's muc

I think the point of the story is that his son used the process instead of panicking. It’s easy to say he said the wrong thing, but compared with a panicked phone call, it’s pretty good. A process like this helps override the natural respon

I made a 6 foot long LED staff with 1,500 LEDs. It had a huge custom battery inside it and it lasted for hours and hours. I got really into programming LEDs and making great patterns, but it was a lot of work keeping it running and replacin

If none of the low-tech hacks in here seem to work, or you have the same kind of gadget addiction as me, I can recommend the "Katchy" brand of bug catchers. They work at night with UV light, and have decimated the fruit fly popula

I love HN and UX articles. Every time this comes up, the thread is full of smart people disagreeing with these principles. The reason these need to be written down in the first place is that they can be counter-intuitive.

My dentist called me out on it. I was a heavy sodastream user and she could tell. Demineralization is irreversible. Drink some plain water afterwards to restore the pH balance.

The original version of Android, on the T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream, had a bug where all characters were sent to the command line as root. I restarted my friend's phone, typed `telnetd` and was able to telnet into the phone. A surpris

I’m from New Zealand. It’s staggering how many people in the US will repeat what I say back to me in a British accent. It’s hard to be annoyed because they’re “just having fun” but my god does it get old. Fortunately I can do a bit of Calif

I think not everybody has tried. This feels like one of those arguments that people have against things they’re unfamiliar with. Maybe it’s an Android /iPhone thing. MagSafe, specifically, has made a fundamental change to this. The pho

Golf carts do not have adequate suspension for roads. They're designed for wide-open, mostly flat golf courses, covered in grass. They don't do well in a roll-over, either. The size is similar, but the construction is quite differ
