You write well enough. What's missing is maybe a punch in the guts. I mean in yours. Writers must have wounds to heal, must have a very strong agenda. You must want to kill someone, you must have your heart rotting in some hatred, or y

Some more water to add to this side of the debate: In China women were also regarded as reliable agents for spreading Chinese culture and civilisation. Quote: After Mongol rule had been ended by the Ming Dynasty in 1368, [there was] a viole

I think you pointed out the main issue with arrays. If I follow your reasoning and suppose we will not want to know who is tagging what and when because we believe we just want to know the bare list of tags attached to an item. But then the

Again the middle brow dismissal. Please make a little effort and expand on why this article is interesting instead. For instance, people are using micro frameworks for a reason. They want less clutter and a more direct grab on what the mach

Who says he wants a key value store? This setup is powerful by its simplicity. Only two layers. And stored procedures can help you do validation, so one could imagine a full Twitter like implemented this way (lest the ui, obviously)

Does it work too with ctrl-\ ? This has been my process killer recently and it's powerful (and the only way I know to get out of xtail.)

An idea that might help in killing patents: Have one daily sticky post on HN (ala job post) with a short description of a pending patent and a link on where to post prior art. It is very likely some reader will be able to provide this prior

As stated by Kahneman happiness (pain) level is felt in retrospect as an average of the most happy (painful) moment and happiness (pain) level of the last moment. If you have kids you have an easy happiness peak (say their first smile) and

Great idea. I'd even say to try to avoid buying a tv, as this is the most powerful brainwashing machine you can get. In the same vein, I like to say one's freedom in invert proportional to the number of keys in the pocket.

Just trying to get the nasty nitpick comment right: Quoting Lao Tzu from quote sites is to be avoided, except in ironic context. Lao Tzu (Lao Zi) is the supposed authors of a very small Chinese classic called Daodejing. It has 81 poems, an

I don't know, I have been working in recording studios and for me the need for a production team is half snake oil half fixing bad tracks with existing fat sounds. Both are the opposite of the original impulse of electronic home made m

At the very least you should avoid third party companies. I suspect in many European countries like France or Germany such leak would be less likely because their government are less prone to trust third parties.

That's what I'd call responsive design. No snarks: it displays perfectly on phone screens and large monitors and loads fast. How could it be made more responsive. I think the key to responsiveness is to remove all javascript, all

You know, "thinking" is usually done by analysis and synthesis, both movements together. And synthesis is just another name for generalization. I think it is a relevant generalization to state that French people have had in their
