I've been using Arch to 'get shit done' for about two years now. Apart from the occasional package upgrade to update everything to its latest versions, you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

The typography is nice and clear but there is a bit too much white space between the entries for my taste. Additionally, this app does not work when viewing HN through a secure connection. This is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Playing the devil's advocate here but I believe humans do not need preserving. With 7 billion individuals and counting, it seems we're doing just fine. Regardless of how poor the living conditions are for many of us. For this particular spe

I've been going through many, many programming languages over the years. Many of them I can't even remember anymore. Some of them I have stuck with for a long time, simply because they were most suitable for the kind of problems I was tryin

It strikes me that pretty much all of these 'tips' seem to me to be pretty logical and old news. Is the average office really that bad that these sort of things have to be published over and over again?

I generally have little faith in the success of petitions in general. But the fact that one is being signed says something about the petitioners.

Same here. Also a native Dutch speaker, but by far the most of my daily communication happens in English. I scored 25600 on the test. My use of English is limited to daily-use for the most part. Apart from IT terminology, I rarely encounter

It is interesting how Facebook's 'Friend Suggestions' quickly made your list spiral out of control. They are just suggestions. You are in no way obligated to add any single one of them. I find myself wondering why some people think it does

Apparently there is 'no mobile version of this video'. Which might be nice to know, had it not been for the fact that I am on a regular old desktop with a cable connection.

Congratulations to Adler on the reopening. I would very much like to experience this new dome. Unfortunately I live on the other side of the planet. Anyway, job well done to the team behind this! The more one can do to inspire people to inv

A guy named 'merethan' posted a great essay on the subject in 2010. It gives a good explanation of what the music industry is about and why it still operates the way it does, without going too much into the financial details. The original a

Not entirely surprising really. Zynga makes no secret [1] of the fact that they don't actually design anything. They are very clear about the practice of copying [2] whatever is popular, slapping their own name onto it and peddling it off a

Being a certified autist with the additional bonus of having very bad eyesight, I can't stress enough how important and useful developments like these can be. I am extremely poor at having face to face conversations. Mostly because any kind

I'm glad to see the shit storm did not blow over unnoticed. The translate API is a pretty useful tool and I would happily pay for it. While nothing beats a hand-written translation by a language pro, the automated version is accurate enough

It's not portrayed in that way, no. Khan Academy seeks dedicated movie makers. Letting the teacher do it instead can have its benefits. Certainly when it comes to teaching a customized or niche curriculum that simply isn't available on a pl

Have you guys in any way been inspired by Salman Khan's (khanacademy.org) work? Perhaps a cooperation could benefit both of your organizations, and consequently the rest of the world. Improving education is always a very laudable goal. And

It's shame that in the entire video, not one concrete example was given about the application of math in a real world profession. It's mostly just "Yes, math is cool! You can do so much with it!". This is what my teachers always kept tellin

Chrome 11.0.696.68 (0) seems to have some objections to the drag & drop functionality. Dragging a .mcr file onto the appropriate region on the page has Chrome download the file.

I am unsure what these things are intended to induce, but I mostly find the flashy bits annoying at best. The sound by itself can be soothing, but combined with the flashes, it just stresses me out. edit: I should probably note that my brai
